ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

nonizetti's pretty opera, L'Eliair d' Amore, was
produced last night with two novelties in the cast :—Made-
moiselle Bosh) ■s Adios, and Signor Luchesi as Nemorino.
We have never had a more charming Adina than Bosh,.
The part is in every way suited to her ;—it is :tilted to her
Cite and figure, to her style of acting, to the compass and
quality of tier voice, and her light and brilliant execution.
She enacted to perfection the little rustic Hirt, wilful
and capricious but not heartless ; and her touches
of feeling in the latter scenes were sweetly and
gracefully given. In her duet with Dulcamara,
" Quanto auto& ed io, spietam," and in the sub-
queut scene with her lover, containing the fine air,
" l'rendi, per nie sei lihero," her tender earnestness
reached the pathetic. Her whole performance was received
with the most eordiel applause. Luchesi, as Nemorino,
deserved a warmer reception than he met with. There is
nothilig striking about him, certainly ; but his appearance
is agreeable; his voice, though not powerful, is sweet and
tunable; he sang in a pure Italian style, and acted
the part in an uoaffected and intelligent manner. We
bate seldom beard the little air, " Uns furtive lagrima,"
sung with greater taste and expression. Itonooni, as the
illustrious Dr. Dulcamara, the prince of quacks, was more
rich than ever in his inimitable humour. He kept the
audience in a roar, and sometimes so upset the gravity of
his fellow-performers that they were scarcely able to go on
with their parts. With all this exuberance of drollery,
there is an air of troth in his picture of the Italian charla-
tan which leaves no doubt of its being drawn from the life;
and in this respect we think his Dulcamara excels the re-
presentation of Lablaehe. Taglistico's Belton was exceed-
ingly good ; and the performance of the piece in its en-
seinbis was excellent.

TINCROFT MINING COMPANY.

Yesterday the annual meeting of this company
took place at Salvador House, Bishopegate-street; Mr. (1.
B. CAMn in the chair. The secretary read a report which K,
stated that the directors had great pleasure in meeting the 1.5
shareholders under the present prosperous condition of
their affairs. They had also much satisfaction in stating 23
that not even the late high prices of tin and copper had
induced them to work the mine otherwise than in a fair a'
and miner-like manner, and they had by their sinking and
driving discovered more than 91.0001. worth of tin end cop- ts
per now in reserve. The accounts would show that after ot.,
paving two dividends amounting to 15 per cent. on the 1.
subscribed ,capital, and discharging (without making a eto
sill) all outstanding liabilities, which some two st.
ago existed, they had, with the reserve 1/4,
upwards of 1,4001. in hand, with a good it.
sessk of materials charged up in the cost. l'he Bed
diesutere trustad that this valuable property was now
phantom • firm basis. It had been visited by some of the tit.
directors since the last meeting, and they took this oppor-
tnnity of testifying to the untiring exertions of their chief mu
agent, Captain Floyd, and than acting under him. 161
The CHAIRMAN, so moving that the report be adopted, St
observed that when it was considered that they began the 112
last year with 481. 44. 61. in debt, and that they had since
paid two dividends, each amounting to 3,1501., and had Ili
invested two anent of 3151. each in the reserve fund, the 10
shareholders would feel that they might sincerely congra- Bt.
tulate themselves upon the improved prospects of the mine. Et-
The report was adopted, and thanks having been ten- "
10
dered to the mining agent, Captain Floyd, and to the di- se.
rectors, the business terminated. So

SHARE LISTS.

TUESDAY Evranto.
The railway market was again heavy to-day on a
preponderance of sales, to-morrow being "making
up" day. Throughout the market, the tendency has
been downwards, except at tho close, when prices
slightly rallied, and the general tone strengthened.
There appears to be no pressure of stock, but some
uncertainty exists as to whether the large sales
lately made on orders from Liverpool are bona fide,
and whether this stock will come upon the London
market. The contangos quoted this evening were
to on Lancashire and Yorkshire ; on Mid-
land Stock, &c. The final after-hours quotations of
to-day do not show any very marked reduction from
those of yesterday.

THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocx.
The railway market is generally flat to-day on
the settling. Money is more iu demand throughout the
house. Lancashire and Yorkshires, South-Eastern,
and Brightons, are lower, whilst Caledonians have
been a shade better than yesterday. In other stocks
the change is not important.
Foreign shares are quiet. South-Eastern of France
are lower.
