MUSIC.

ROYAL ENGLISH OPERA.

We have already said that the production of
Safe's new opera, Tae Arnourer of Nantes, on Thursday
last, was, as far as could be gathered from the appearances
first night (which, as everybody knows, are often de-
ceptive), attended with triumphant sumer. Any doubts,
however, which might have arisen on this snore were dis-
pelled by the second representation ea Saturday evening.
The theatre was again crowded to the doors ; though
no material curtailment was made, the opera seemed
to be shortened (being still, however, too long) by the
increased spirit and rapidity of the action ; the performers,
generally speaking, sang better and acted with more anim►-
tion than on the first night, the concerted pieces " went "
with greater dploetb ; the orchestra was more at home in
the very difficult instrumentation ; and (as the natural con.
sequence of all these things) the'applause of the audience,
equally loud and frequent as before, had more unmistake-
ably the ring of genuine metal We can now say with all
confidence that the suoceu of the opera is real, and will be
durable.

Mies Louisa P3nae's clear and brilliant voice never
wan heard to greater advantage, and her impersonation of
the interesting heroine was full of intelligence and feeling.
The character of the Duchess of Brittany is not' well suited
to Miss Biles ; it is too stern, too haughty, too terrible, for
this pleasing and promising young actress. But we thought
none the less of her on that account, and were, on the con.
trary, surprised by the force and energy she threw into au
uncongenial part Mr. Harrison looked and acted the part of
the Annourer with his usual dramatic effect, and sang, as
he always does, like an accomplished artist. Equally admi-
rable and successful was the performance of Mr. Bentley.
The half comic part of the gaoler was excellently sustained
by Mr. Aynsley Cooke, who was much and deservedly ap-
plauded.

NORTH LONDON.

The report of the directors shows that the traffic re-
&iota during the past half-year exhibit an increaseof 9,978/.,
as compared with the corresponding period of the previous
year, being 94,1611., u unmet 84,1101. •, whilst the work-
ing expenses, on the other baud, show a duress. of 1,0451. ;
the general result being a net balance, to the credit of
revenue, after my-meet of interest on debentures, of
39,0231. 12s. 10d. The directors consider it desirable to
make provision on the present occasion for the renewal and
improvement of several of the stations, which the con-
stantly increasing traffic renders necessary ; and they recom-
mend that the sum of 6,000/. be set apart for this
purpose, and for re-laying a portion of the line. The balance
which, after this deduction, will be available for division
amounts to 13,2021. 12s. 10d.: from which cam it is pro-
posed to declare a dividend, on the ordinary share capital of
the company. at the rate of 6 per cent per annum, leaving a
balance of 1,7061. 2s. 101. to be carried forward to the cur-
rent half-year. Oa capital account a sum of 53,7931. has been
expended on the City Extension Line, which has received,
' during the past half-year, the earnest attention of the direc-
tors. The preliminary arrangements are concluded, and the
purchase of lands is proceeding rapidly ; tenders have been
invited for the works, which will be let, by contract, on 3rd
March text. The share capital already paid up will, it is
anticipated, be sufbciect to meet the requirements of
the present year ; but, as a precautionary measure,
the sanction of the proprietors will be asked to exer-
cise, if necessary, the borrowing powers of the company.
During the last eessioa of parliament the attention of the
beard was directed to the expediency of iucreased accommo-
dation for passengers between the City and the distriet
around Tottenham ; and with the object of meeting this
obvious want, notices were issued and plans prepared for a
branch from Kingsland to Tottenham, in connexion with the
City Extension. The Great Dotern Company, however,
being desirous of constructing a line through the same die!
Wet in connexion with their proposed new terminus, your
directon consented to withdraw the projected branch, under
as agreement by which the use of the proposed new hoe is
secured to the company on terms mutually advantageous.
The bill for this object, promoted in parroment by the
Great Eastern Company, will at the propor stage be sub-
mitted, together with the agreement, to the proprietors.
Several projects for metropolitan ndlways are promoted
daring the present session of parliament, and are receiving
the attention of the board, with the view toe proper protec-
tion of this company's interests.

THE POLICE COURT&

CLERKENWELL

Elks Kenney, aged26,adiriY-ToOking proetitute, well
known at this court, residiog at 12, Parsonsamart,
Luke's was charged with cutting and wounding Mary An.
Davis, a prostitute, in the neck, at Paraces-ooltrt, she
being drunk at the time. Mr. Beard prosecuted.
From the evidence of the promentrix and rehire witnesses,
it appeared that the parties resided next door to each other.
On Tuesday weak, u she was going home about twelve
o'clock at night, she felt a fearful blow at the beck of her
neck, which inflicted • wound from which blood flowed
freely. That wound was inflicted with the sharp andel
a poker. Both parties had been drinking together in the
course of the day, end bad had some .01\IS, and the crimper
had been heard to threaten the complainant. A man who
interfered to prevent the prisoner doing further mischief,
and who took the poker away from her after • severe
struggle. was severely cut acmes the back of the band.
Mr. Mather, divisional surgeon of the G division, said
that he attended the injured woman, and found her suffer-
ing from • wound in the neck which might have been mem-
siooed by • poker. The wound was more than an inch is
length. She lost • great deal of blood, but she was never in
danger, although the wound was in • very serMes part.
The prisoner said that she and the complainant had been
drinking together and had quarrelled. The cornplainant
had broken open the door of her home, but she was too
drunk to know whether she had done it or Da.

~lfr. D'E~oooort said that it
tl3ecOnWalWarit had don.
what the prisoner bad stated it did not justify her in com-
mitting such a serious &smolt. Had the surgeon stated that
the wound had been dangerous he should have sent the pri-
soner for trial.
Prisoner—We were both drank. end she hit me first If I
had not been drunk I should not bare hit bes.

Mr. D'Hyncourt—You seem to thick that drunkeonem
an emu's for committing brutal acts of violence, but that
only makes the matter worse. He considered it a very
brutal and unprovoked assault, and sentenced t►_e prisoner
to be imprisoned and kept to bard labour in the House of
Correction for twocaleodar months.
Mr. Mather asked for his expenses, as he was pot to a
greet deal of trouble in attending calm at police-eourte. If
caeca were not sent for trial medical men were not allowed
their expenses.
Mr. D'Eyooonrt said Mr. Mather had better write to the
Secretary of State, and he would certify that it was a at case
for the expenses to be allowed.

BUENOS AYRES, JULY 5.
The signal defeat of Penaloza in Cordova by the go-
vernment troops has restored peace to the entire country.
The revolution in the Uruguay Repulblia is alto fast dying
out, and the national government, with prospects of a per-
manent peace, is determined to push the cotton enterprise
ahead.

The currency question still occupies much attention, and
several plane have been proposed for its reform. One is,
that the public lands should be sold, and thus reduce the
amount of paper in circulation. It is stated that govern-
ment is about to apply for a loan in England for the pur-
pose of making the paper dollar payable in specie at a Axed
rate. Immigration is steadily on the increase, and scarcely a
day passes without fresh arrivals.
Business is very dull, and money unreasonably dear ;
ounces rule at the same rate as on the sailing of the English
mail. Freights are dull, as cargoes are very scarce, and the
report that the Alabama is at the mouth of the River Plate
keeps many American vessels which are already laden from
leaving port. Monte Video admen Say that an American
man-of-war, said to be the Omraid, carrying 18 gone and
150 men, has come down in search of the Alabama, but
serious doubt le entertained as to her being able to take such
• formidable privateer as the Alabama.

ing them to prohibit the entry to any of the ports of the

TEE AUSTRALIAN TZARS.

The export of British goods to the Australian

in 1850 a further stride was made to 2,602,2531. In 1851
cam* the gold, but it did not exert any very great influence
upon the total in that year, which only rem to 2,807,3561.
In 1852 however, there was • decided expansion, the total
recorded being 4,222,206/. ; and in 1853 there was a wild
bound to 14,513,700 f. Such • fungus kind of commerce
could not endure, the markets bedune glutted, and is 1864
the total declined to 11,931,352!., and in 1855 to 6,278,9661.

being carried to 11,900,0621. To show the Menem is the

RHYMNBE

The hall-yearly meeting was held on Tuesday
at the Gray's ins Coffeehouse ; Mr. J. BOIL/ in the chair.
The report showed that the total sum expended on capital
amount wee 9,1434, the greater portion of which was appli-
' cable to land compenaation and works, including payments
for the Flowed breach, parliamentary expenses, engineer-
ing, and poem' stock. The whole of the ordinary and pia-
noised shares fully paid up had been converted into stook.
The sum of 25,6551. bad been received for revenue, showing
an increase of 3.8001. There had been an increase and im-
provement is all the descriptions of traffic. There remained
• tabus* after payment of working expenses sod other
charges, of 2,6611., sufficient for • dividend at the rate of
24 per cent. The works on the Bargoed branch had been let
to responsible contractors, and were now in course of con-
struction, and when finished a considerable increase of traffic
was expected, and the formation of another short mineral
branch would bring additional traffic. The capital account
showed • receipt of 481,56 f., and • balance of 48,2001.
The CHAIMIAN. in moving the adoption of the repor
said the line was progressively improving at all points, and
the working expenses for a snipers' line stood at an exceed-
ingly low figure. The Bargoed breech would be completed
by the end of the year. Its prospects were not only of
• local character, the valley being full of coil, but of •
general nature, derivable from the through traffic of that
part of Wales and the port of Cardiff, where the trade was
immense. .

Mr. AUSTIN seconded the adoption of the report, and it
was ouried onaoimously, together with • resolutioa de-
claring the dividend.

SOUTHWARK,

William Harrison,a tall powerful-looking man, an
engi-
neer, was brought before Mr. Iturchain for final examina-
tion, charged with eommittiog a violent assault upon Mr.
Edward Benjamin Clark, one of the proprietors of the
Peacock tavern and wine vaults, Holland-street, Southwark.
Mr. W. Edwin appeared for the prosecutor.
The complaisant, whose left eye was seriously injured
and bandaged up, said that by the 'section of a large firm
in their neighbourhood they were allowed to send in beer
for theworkmen at certain boars. The prisoner la employed
there, and a short time ago he was compelled to summon
him to the county court for • debt, and • short order was
made. On Monday morning last witness bad occasion
to accompany his potman into the factory, as be was a fresh
servant, and required an introduction to the workmen.
After supplying several, one of the men called witness, and,
pointing out the prisoner, said he wanted some beer. He
accordingly went towards him, and in a civil manner asked
him whether be wanted any beer, as be should be most
happy to serve him, notwithataeding the former alterca-
tion. Witness bad hardly said the words when the pri-
soner rushed upon him like a madman. and struck him •
tremendous blow in the left eye, completely blinding him,
and stunning him for the moment. As soon as he re-
covered he called is • constable, and gave him into custody.
The prisoner, in the most impudent manner,
denied the whole of the statement made by Mr.
Clarke and stated that the latter came up to him in
a jeering and insulting manner, asking . him if be wanted
any beer. That aimed an altercation, and they had • ight,
when Mr. Clark ggoot the worst of it. He called his fellow.
workmen to oerrobonfe his statement, but they proved his
violent conduct, widens of them swore that be attacked Mr.
Clark without the least provocation.

The potman also corroborated Mr. Clark's testimony,
when Mr. Burcham told the defendant that undoubtedly be
was a very siolent man. and his owe witness had actually
proved the ease aipiinst him. He was • strong, powerful
man, with sufficient strength to kill the complainant, sad
without the least provocation he struck him with all his
violence. He must pay a penalty of 40s, or two menthe'
bard labour, and be also directed him to enter into his own
recognisance in 201., and dad one surety to keep the peace
for six months.

It iwpeared that Martin was employed by the General
Iron Company, 43, Upper Thamee-street, sod it was his
duty to sell broken iron from the wharf, and he was
to

paying him the amount specified upon it. The other

Cop-
pins had a sect wade( fa the street. Suspecting all was
not right, he directed ass of the clerks to watch the cart,
which at that time cestained a quantity of iron. Shortly
afterwards Martin west to the manager and asked him to
mike out a bill for 4 cwt., in the name of Coppice,.
when the metal was afterwards weighed the cart was
found to contain 7 cwt. 3 qrs. 16 Ike., instead of 4 cwt.,

BPALCH or Cornsitinn PIMA) BM.—An
address to Sir Charles Woad was presented yesterday by
the Marl of Shaftesbury, the Moo. A. Kflosainl, and many
other gentlemen, thanking him for his despatch to the
government of India on the draft of the proposed law of
contracte for that country. In their address, the gentle-
men by whom it is signed offer their sincere thanks for
the instruction" given to the government of India in the
despatch referred to, and deprecate the proposed law of
'entracte as injurious to the beet interests of India, and
contrary to mound principle. The proposed Draft Act is
deserlted as being specially designed to protect tbe pre-
sent system of advances to the cultivator upon hie crops,
and is peculiarly open to this objection, that it he a
direst teesiseey to foster and perpetuate a system ac-
knowledged by all to be, as now carried on, one of the
impediments to the expansion of a natural and
neatest
commerce in India. And should this law be
=I. it must retard indefinitely that introduction of a
end more legitimate system. The report of the
Iteogal Indigo Commission is alluded to as affording in-
disputable proof that where the two contracting parties are
a plater and a ryot, the latter can scarcely ever be said to
be a free agent ; and, under such circumstanced, the coo'
treat will be one unduly in favour of the party who has
the power to compel the other to enter into en agreement.
In conclusioe, the memorialists express an earnest hope
that Sir Charles Wood will not be induced, by any °own-
&rations of temporary advantage, to swerve from the
pest principles enunciated in his recent despatch ; and
that contracts between individuals shall be left in Judi,
as in all civilised countries, exclusively to the ordinary

Theatre, to recover the sum of 12/.. being six penalties of
40s. each for repreesating a piece entitled " The Roll of the

On the part of the defendant it was admitted that be was
the Isere of the theatre, and that he had authorised the

She plaintiff ; Mr. Ogle and Yr. Cole for the defendant.
The plaintiff was called for the purpose of supporting his
eight to the copyright, but in consequence of the letters of

author of the piece, and from whom the plaintiff had pur-
chased the copyright, not being 'tamped,
The learned nudge adjourned the owe until next term, in
order to give the plaintiff the benefit of having the letters
properly stamped.
