Music.

HER MAJESIT'S THEATRE.—Last night, as usual
on the Toursdays, there was a profusion of entertaiaments
at this theatre. In the flint place, Donizetti's comic
opera, " L'Eliair d'Amore," wan admirably performed.
Madame Cm:ellen wax Arnim', 0.1111 ni Nemorino,
F. Lablache Bekore, and Lablache Dr. Dutenosara.
Nothing could be better than Castellani representa-
tion of the rustic eequette and Gardoni looked and
acted the jealous country lad to perfection. They both
sang charmingly; midair apology tkat MY made for Madame
Castellon, on the score of hoarseness, seemed eltogetner un-
necessary. The little air " Una furtive lagrima,' the gem of
the opera, was beautifully sung by Oardoni. Lablache as
the illustiious Doctor, was magnificent. lie seemed in
exuberant spirits, and indulged in a thousand humourous
freaks inspired by the impulse of the moment, which
kept the audience in a state of constant hilarity. His son
played the dashing arrjeant capitally; and the piece, ro
acted, was a most amusing little come. y, in ilependently of
its musical meras, which are a great, that we are inclined
to regard it as Donisetti's chef d'muore. The melodies have
the gaiety and grace, and the accompaniments the lightness
and elegance, of the old Italian opera. Every scene went off
ith the greatest spirit, and the whole perfcrmance was
warmly applauded. The opera was followed by a dirertisse-
nsent, from the ballet of " Lulls Rookh," which exhibited
a perfect constellation of talent—Cerito, Rozati, Marie Tag-
hoot, Lucile Grahn, St. Leon, and Perrot. Then followed
the third act of ti I Due loscari ;" the pas de qualre from
the " Lac des Fk,," in which Cerito and St. Leen again
appeared ; and, last of all, the new ballet, " Orithia ;" a bill
of fare sufficient to satisfy the keenest appetite. At what
hour in the morning the banquet ended we know not, haw-
ins withdrawn from it long before its termination.

MONEY MARKET.

MONDAY EVENINO.
The very important suspension of the highly re-
spectable firm of Lesley, Alexander, and Co., corn
merchants, naturally caused a great sensation in all
quarters this morning, as being a house of the highest'
standing and credit. The liabilities are variously es-
timated at from five to six hundred thousand pounds.
It is believed, however, that the suspension, arising
from the occurrence of sudden pressure at a time when
credit has become so restricted in a deranged money
market, will be but temporary. The head of the firm is
understood to be in possession of a large landed pro-',
pert,' in Ireland. The unfortunate event can hardly
fall notwithstanding to subject numerous parties to
much inconvenience or damage, supposing nothing
worse to result. The extensive connexions of the
house in the corn-growing countries, more especially
in the north of Europe, and the Black Sea perhaps
as well, are likely to be severely visited with bills re-
turned for non-payment, with all the heavy
charges
of exchange and re-exchange upon them, noii
quently reaching to five and even ten per cent, upon
the principal NUM.
This untoward circumstance had its effect on the
funds. Prices opened a fraction in decline upon the
last quotations of Saturday. From 86 to 7 for
account, at which the first bargains were respectively
marked, Consols gradually declined to 861, but subse-
quently rallied to, and left off at, 861 to 1 for account,
and for money 861. Reduced Threes, 861 to „.
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 881 to a. Long
Annuities, 9 to 1-18. Exchequer Bills, 38. disoouut
to 2s. premium. Bank Stock, 193 to 7. India Stock,
2401 to 21.
The few transactions which took place in foreign
stocks were effected only by the sellers submitting
to lower prices. Mexican were called 17 to 18 only.
Portuguese, 29 to 30. Spanish Fives, 20 to ; the
Threes, 301 to 1. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents., 92 to 4. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,
331 to 61; the Fours, as; to 91.
The rates of exchange at New York on the 24th
ult., which are brought rather lower at 1051 to 61,
and looking down, by the Union steam-ship to Havre,
are uneasily viewed as leading to anticipations that
specie may again be called for.
If the language of the Madrid journals may be
trusted, those bearing an official character in the num-
ber, it might be inferred that the case of the foreign
creditors of Spain was hopeless; that neither from
the press have they to look for real sympathy, nor
from the government, nor from public men of whatever
opinions and pretensions have they to expect repara-
tion of the wrongs and the faithlessness of which they
have been the scarcely-complaining victims for a quar-
ter of a century. From ex-ministers, or pretenders
to office, and from opposition journals, the claims of
the bondholders have sometimes derived some lip and
pen service when an obnoxious minister was to be

not interfere in any way, when the prisoner let the WOMII6
fall down, and ran up to the complaisant, and, without
uttering a word, gave her a violeat kick on the lower part
of her person. The kick he gave her was inflicted with
such severity that she fell to the ground and screamed that
she was dying, end immediately afterwards became quiteiin-
eettrible. She added that she had been confined to
her bed ever since, and was still so bad that she
was unable to walk, and was obliged to be carried into
the court.—Mrs. Mary:Edney corroborated this statement.
Clue. Humphery deposed to tie facts of the assault, and said
that after the kick was inflicted he ran and picked up the
complainant, who was lying on the pavement in agony, and
the blood streaming from her. He added that the prisoner
appeared to be quite' ober, and when he saw the condition
of the girl he ran away. Since the occurrence be had been
threatened by the prisoner's friends if he appeared at this
court in support of the charge against him.—The prisoner
said that he was drunk at the time, and had no recollection
of kicking the complainant ; that it had been stated that she
was going for a jug of water at the time, and he believed she
fell down and cut herself with the broken jug, and that the
witnesses out of spite had asserted that the wound she re-
ceived wu from a kick.—bir.Cottinghamsaid that he should
commit the prisoner for trial for felony.
Tll A M ES. E n err tem trr. -- David Edwards was
charged with having embersled sums of money to a consi-
derable amount, the property of his employers, Messrs. Scott,
wholesale china and glens merchants, No. 249, High-street,
Whitechepel. The prisoner had been in the above employ
as collector and town-traveller for about 15 months ; about
five weeks since, his employers had occasion to suspect his
honesty. They had since instituted an icquiry, and the
result was that it was fully proved by various witnesses that
he had received on Messrs. Scott's account, on the 16th of
February last, the um of 31. 12s. 6d. ; on the 14th of June,
21. ss. ; and on the Bth of July, 11. 12a. Ild. The several
receipts for the above rums in the prisoner's handwriting
were produced by the respective parties. Mr. Septimua
Scott, one of the partners, proved that it was the prisoner's
duty to account to him each day for the sums received on the
preceding day. He had not accounted for these KIM, nor
were they entered as received in the cashbook. Ti.ey had
reason to seapect that he had been guilty of other defalca-
tions.—The prisoner made ao defence, and was fully com-
mitted far trial.

WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT.

(Before D. C. Mc/lan, DA, judge.)
WIXTI2 e. Tun Hot:. Ar.onimox GRETILLIL—Fuamvs
Daivtan.—The plaintiff in this cue, a cabman, sought to
recover of the defendant, the Hon. Algernon Ogevillo, the
sum of 61. 10a. for injury done to a cab through the negli-
gent end furious driving of the defendant's servant —The
plaintiff stated that on the 14th of June last he had turned
his cab from the stand and had drawn it tip close to the
kerb in Wellington-street to let a gentleman in, when a
brougham, driven at a speed of from nine to ten miles an
hour, belonging to the defendant, tried to pass between the
cab and the herb ; the consequence was that the cab was
turned over and much damaged.—The plaintiff's statement
having been confirmed by two witnesses, Mr.C. Dod, for the de-
fendant, said the accident was not caused by the miasmas of
the defendant's servant, but solely through the plaintiff turn-
ing out of the rank at the moment the defendant's brougham
was along.—Two witnesses swore that the brougham
was not at a greater speed than six or seven miles an
hour that the driver did all he could to prevent coming
in collision with the cab, but was unable to do so in cones-
quenos of the cabman drawing his vehicle across the road
when the brougham was only six or seven yards from him.
—ln answer to the court, the plaintiff's witnesses said there
was plenty of room for the brougham to have passed between
the cab and the cab-rank, instead of being driven on to the
near side, which no experienced driver would have done.—
Alter lasting a considerable time, the learned judge made an
award in favour of the plaintiff for the sum claimed.

IRELAND•

DUMAN. AVOVIIT 8.
The borough elections for Ireland terminated yes-
terday, and the changes have been few and unim-
portant. The liberals have gained single members in
Dublin, Belfast, and Portarlington, and loot in Kin-
sale and Athlone, thus giving them the bare majority

of one. The counties, which commence the struggle
to-morrow, are not likely to add much to the liberal
majority, perhaps two. The case stands thus : three
positive gams to the liberals, with one probable ;
one positive gain to the conservatives, with a second
possible. On the entire, the absolute liberal gain
' cannot exceed four. . . .

A spirit ;i economy is beginning to actuate the
boards of guardians and grand juries. In the latter
it was usually the fashion to sacrifice the public to
private interests, and, on the appointment of com
collectors, to give them a shilling or so in the pound,
receiving oftentimes very inadequate security. During
the fiscal business which has concluded, greater pre-
cautions were taken to ensure security and solvency,
as well as to cat down the per centage to a more
moderate amount than formerly prevailed. In the
payment of relieving officers, for which office the can-
didates are numberless, there is a due proportion ob-
served between the services and the remuneration.

When this economy Ts more generally diffused we
may expect our local bodies to operate more benefi-
cially for the general good.
Mr. John Lambert, of Clifden, county Galway, ad-
dresses:the fishermen of the west and south, from
London. lie says he has been for some months in
the metropolis calling the attention of capitalists to
the Irish fisheries, in which success to a certain extent
has crowned his exertions. Within a few weeks
operations on a limited scale will commence upon " a
plan agreed upon by persons of high rank and capital
in England." The scheme is not yet ripe for more
general promulgation. As an incident to the above,
I may add that the Irish coast was visited with
immense shoals of mackerel last week.

The gentry of Mayo have unanimously declined to
seek for compensation for such portions of their lauds
u had been taken for public works under the Labour
Rate Acts. The amount they have thus abandoned
to the rate-payers of the county is not Wu than
20,0001.

SCOTLAND.

EDINBtRGH, A U01.78T 7.
Although ousted from Haddington, Sir D. Baird,
as convener of the Edinburgh committee on the en-
tail laws, is preisewerthily bestirring himself in
rousing the town councils and other public bodies on
the subject.
Some few episodes have occurred at the Scotch
elections, and of these there deserve to be mentioned
the call of Mr. Sheriff Alison, at the Lanarkshire
hustings, for three cheers for Prince Waldemar—a
call which the constituency would not respond to
until the illustrious stranger came forward and
showed himself in person. The next was a proposal
emanating from Mr. P. Blackburn, that the electors
should give three times three in honour of her Ma-
jesty's visit, which was done most lustily. Some
constituency dinners are also going on. Mr. Fox Maule,
Mr. Matheson, sen., and Mr. Kennedy, the defeated
candidate for the Inverness burghs, are all to receive
festive compliments.
The herring fishery, which has been rather back-
ward, has taken a sudden tura at Wick ; in one day
the extraordinary number of 20,000 barrels were
landed. A few more days of such rifling of the
" treasures of the deep," and the complements of the
fishermen will be made up, and a great impulse given
to the industrial resources of the north.

ROUSE OF LORDS.
Present: The Istrd Chancellor, Lord Brougham, and Lord Hardarieke.
BAIRD C. BAIRD.—ENTAIL.--Thu WWI an appeal from •
decision of the Scotch courts, in which all the judges con-
curred that a deed of entail (dated 1737), under which the
appellant, Sir David Baird, is heir in poeseseion of the lands
of Newbyth, and Mrs. Baird and the other respondents are
the heirs substitute, did not permit the appellant to alienate '
the lands or turn them into fee simple. The questions in
the cause turned on the technical rule* applicable to the
construction of deeds of entail in Scotland.—The Lord Ad-
vocate and Sir F. Kelly (with whom was Mr. Anderson)
amued these questions for the appellant.--Mr. Stuart
Wortley and Mr. Rolt were for the respondents, but the
former only was heard • the latter is to be heard next Mon-
day, to which day this ippeal stands adjourned.

OTileas.—This case came before Mr. Justice. Wightrean on
a summons, which had been directed to the .heriff of Surrey
and the plaintiff, to show cause why the It id sheriff should
not withdraw possession from the goods and premises oocu-
pied by the defendant, the claim of the plaintiff having been
barred as against the defendant by his bankruptcy and certi-
ficate obtained since the verdict was delivered.—Mr. King,
from the office of Mr. Silvester, contended that under the
statute 6th Geo. IV., c. 16, a. 58, the debt of the plaintiff
was not proveable against the estate of the defendant. The
action was broaght for the takieg away of the plaintiff's
cab, when the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for IV. 'b.
On the 25th day of April, 1845, final judgment was signed
for 591. 7s. The defendant being ►ware that the final judg-
ment was to be signed on the above day, procured
a fiat to bo issued against himself on the 24th of
April, and was gazetted on the same day as the
final judgment was signed ; and on the 19th September fol.
lowing he obtained bus certificate. The plaintiff, however,
refused to prove against the estate as the final judgment bad
not been signed at the time of issuing of the fiat. Under
these eireurnstaimes he (Mr. King) contendedthat the plain-
tiff was at liberty to ore any legal remedy for the recovery of
his debt, he not being barred by the bankrupt's certificate.—
Mr. Beckles, in support of the summons, contended
that the debt and costs teak effect from the fint
day of term, that it was clearly proveable and ought to
have been made under the Bat ; and so the plaintiff bad
neglected so to do he could not now obtain his demand under
afterifacias, ani therefore the summons must be made &bee-
lute.—Mr. Justice Wightmm considered that the debt was
not proveable, and therefore he had no power to order the
Sheriff out of possession.

Were the materials for comparison at hand, the aggregate
bank discounts in France would make but an insiauificant
appearance by the side of those of the British banks. There
are many private bankers in London, and in leading provin-
cial towns, who discount to a larger annual extent than any
of the French banks named, excepting the Bank of France,
although those banks are each the only really profeesional
establishment of the populous localities where situate.
The rate of profitable dividend on the capitals of them
banks, ranges thus: the Bank of France returns 16 9-10tha
per cent. to its proprietary ; the bank of Lyons 24 2-sths
per cent. • the bank of Bordeaux 13 1-6th per cent.; the
bank of Rouen 12 per cent. ; the bank of Marseilles 12 per
cent.: the bank of Toulouse 10 per cent. • the bank of
Orleans 10 per cent.; the bank of Lille 8 7-I:lths per cent. ;
the bank of Nantes, over 81 per cent. ; the bank of Havre
over th per cent. From these figures it 4111 be perceived that
banking capital returns on the average much larger dividends
in France than in England.

BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—The Builder has pub-
lished a view of the new front of Buckingham Palace, de-
signed by Mr. Blore, and now rapidly advancing above the
lofty pabngs which served to conceal it. In point of design
it is poor enough, quite in the Buckingham Palace style, and
yet a little better than Mr. Nash's best. The palace will
now form • quadrangle, and the expensive marble arch must
be removed somewhere else. There is a talk of erecting it
at Spring-gardens—a place, it is true, sadly in want of same
kind of architectural decoration. The space between the
canal and the front of the palace will, it is said, be made into
something like • second Trafalgar-square. This sounds
ominous. Chantrey's equestrian statue if George IV. was
originally intended for the marble arch it may yet arrive
there.

SIGN BILL

Mr. HAMILTON moved the second ratline of this bill, but
Mr. W. BROWN said ita opponents were taken by sur-
prise, and the second reading was postponed until this day
fortnight.
TENANTS (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. S. CRAWFORD thtn roan to move for leave to bring
in a bill to secure the rights of occupying tenants in Ireland,
and thereby to promote the improvement of the soil and the
employment of the labouring classes. In his opinion, the
great evil of Ireland was not the small holdings, but the cir-
cumstance that the small holders had: not secured to them
the value of the improvements they might make in their
holdings, the due reward of their industry and energy.
On Lord Londonderry's Irish estates, where tenant right
prevailed. and where of consequence the value of the benefi-
cial interest created by the tenant's labour and money was
secured to him, the tenants, though their holdings were very
small, were among the very happiest and most prosperous in
Ireland. The object of this bill was to extend tenant right
u a law all over Ireland.

Mr. LABOUCHERE thought the house wu much in-
debted to the hon. member for preparing this important mea-
sure, and although he could not, of course, engage to sup-
port its provisions until he had considered them, he was
full;

prepared to weigh them tae utmost atteatioa.
POOR RATES (IRELAND) BILL.
Yr. BILLRMAN CRAWFORD moved the mead read-
ing of this mown. His object was, that the ram payable

by the landlord and tenant should be separated, and that the
landlord and tenant should he separ►tely liable for the pay,
meat; and further, that when a landlord neglected to pay
his rates, • receiver might be appointed by the Court of
Chancery to collect the rates on his 'state.
Colonel COOLLY had no objection to the principle of
separating the rates, but he could not consent to the other
provisions of the bill.
Sir G. GREY said, be had no objection to have the bill
read a second time, on the understanding that it was not
proceeded with until after the government measures foe
Ireland were disposed of.
After a short ennversstion, the bill wss read a second
time, and order. tl to be committed onWtdne•slay fortnight.

In answer to Mr. RI :1111,
Sir G. GREY said, that this bill was nearly ready to be

Don, Viscount Ebringiou, Mr. Gibson Craig, Mr. Hawn,
Mr. Ward, Mr. Milner Gibson, the Solicitor Generals
Mr. Shia, and the Secretary at War.
BARRACKS AND CANTEENS.

Mr. HUMS, is zoo relative to bar-
' racks and canteens, explained that his object was to draw
the attention of government to the subject, in order that
sorb alterations should be made so would increase the com-
forts of the men, and induce a better elate of persona to
enter the army. At present the facilities for washing and
bathing, and for wparstitig the married from the unmarried
were miserably defective in several of the barracks, and the
drainage and ventillation acre also bad. The canteens, as
at peen at conducted, were objectionable. Ile did not NO
why they should not be established on the footing ot coffee-
houses, and the profits applied to the maintenance of reading
rooms. To the ab ditiou of corporal punishment, and atten-
tion to health and comfort, such es he had suggested, his
looked as a means of improving the character of the army.
He also thought that by judicious consolidation the number
of barrack establishments might be reduced.
. .

Cul. FOX observed that great improvement had already
been effected in several of the barracks, with regard to this
comfort of the men.

The house adjourned at 7 o'clock.

THE ALDERMEN OF LONDON AND THE

COMMON COUNCIL.

As the Lord Mayor and aldermen still persist in
their attempt to stop the proceedings of the Common Coun-
cil in a measure of municipal reform, by refusing to put to
the vote a question! legitimately before the court, we shall
make some remarks ea the power thus claimed, together
with an account of the circumstances which have led to the
present conflict.
The mayor and aldermen me a constituent part of the
Common Council, sad ars there to exercise their rights of
discussing and voting on all questions, together with the
commoners, in one assembly. In this way has the business
of the city been conduct op to the prevent day, with the
exception of the twenty-one years from 1726 to 1746, during
which short period the aldermen were empowered, by a
clause in the act of 11 Geo. 1., to usurp upon and annul the
rights of the citizens, by exercising, as a separate body, a
veto upon the proceedings of their representatives. This
clause was the subject of general dissatisfaction and reproba-
tion, from the time of its enactment to that of its deserved
repeal; and the nesrative which it had given to the alder-
men, though thus abrogated, after a short-lived and odious
existence, they now seek to revive in a more intolerable
form. Of this power, the revival of which is thus sought,

MONEY MARKET.

FRIDAY EVINIIIO.
There has been no feature about the stock market
to-day, although the funds have been fairly sup-
ported by the regular course of dealings among the
jobbers only. Censols, after occasional variations, left
off 875 to 5 for money, and 871 to for account.
Reduced Threes 875 to 1. Three and Quarter per
Cents. 89 to 5. Exchequer Bills 2a. discount to Is.
premium.
The foreign market was even more neglected than
usual, and scarcely half a dozen bargains were
marked in the house. Danish were done at 86, but
are still not quoted better than 84 to 6. Dutch came
quoted better from Amsterdam on the 17th, when the
Two-and-a-Half per Cents. stood at 56 11-16 to t,
and in consequence they were called in this market
to-day at 565 to ; the Fours, at 891 to but without
business. Spanish Fives were quoted 201 to 1 ; the
Threes, 30 to 4. Portuguese, 27 to 8. Mexican, 185
.
Ito Peruvian, 33 to 5. A bargain was done in
Russian at 110, the quotations still being 110 to 112.
The tendency of foreign exchange has been rather
in decline, although, in most cases, the rates were
stationary. On Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Lisbon
the quotations were lower; on Hamburg and
Leghorn higher ; the rest as before. The nego-
tiations on Amsterdam were 12.45 to 5 ; on Rot-
terdam, 12.5 to 5 ; on Antwerp, 25.825 to 85; on
Hamburg, 13.13 tol4 ; on Frankfort, 1211 to 122 ;
on Paris, 25.675 t 075 ; on Vienna, 10.5 to 6; on
Leghorn, 30.60 to 70; on Naples, 401 to 5 ; on

EQUITY COURTS.
Before the lard Chancellor.
GROOM T. STINTON. PRACTICE. ENROLMENT OF
DECREES.—The Lord Chancellor gave judgment on the
motion to vacate the enrolment of the decree in this cue,
which was argued on Tuesday, and reported in yesterday's
Daily Netes—gis Lordship said he had looked into the
cases that were et d in the argument : " Robinson v. New-
dewick " and " Dsarman v. Wych." The former, decided
by Lord Eldon, contained three points, one only of which
bore on the present cue ; and Lord Eldon's decision applied
to the other two points, which had no reference to the ques-
tion raised in this case. In the subsequent case of " Stevens
e. Guppy" (Turner and Rumen, p. 178), Lord Eldon de-
cided that the enrolment should be vacated, but that was on
the ground of surprise in the other party. There was no sur-
prise imputed in the present case, and it fell within the
principle of the decision of " Dearman v. Wych." In that
case his lordship reviewed all the former cases on the subject,
and he saw no reason to alter the opinion which he then
formed on the practice—that, in order to stop a party from
enrolling his decree, the petition of appeal and order to set it
down for hearing must be actually served on him. That not
being done in this case, he considered there wuno good
ground for the motion to vacate the enrolment, and he there-
fore refused the motion.

COMMERCIAL 4 MARKETS.

MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.
Two o'Clock.—The more cheering commercial in-
telligence from India, and the absence of any dis-
couraging news locally, have had a very beneficial
influence upon the funds this morning. Con-
sols, which opened at 821 to 1 for money,
and 82; to for time, advanoed gradually, without
any reaction, to 824 to for money, and
82} to 3 for time, which are equal to per cent. rise
upon the last quotations of yesterday. They remained
some time stationary at these rates, when some fur-
ther purchases of money stock carried them to 831 to
1 for time, and 83 to for money. We have since a
slight reaction of from these prices, bat, from pre-
sent appearances, with a firm market.
