Signor Cslsolsri did justice to the part of Count
Almaeira. He acted with animation, particularly in ;
the scenes %here the Coast osounuo the disguises of a ,
drunken soldier and a clerical mining-master, in both ,
of which he showed considerable humour. His voice,
though not powerful, is sweet. and be sang with
elegance and expression. Lsblache played Dr. Bar-
tolo in his own inimitable manner. He seemed in
high spirits, sad abso:utely rioted is fun and drol-
lery. The character of Figarobso seldom been better
performed than by Belletti, who entered very felici-
tously into the spirit of the memorial barber. The
most amusing duet between Figaro and Round,
" bungse io sow," was, ea both sides, exquisite
oomedy, as well as exquisite music. P. Lablache was
very good in Basiho but he ought not to have
omitted the line descriptive air, " La Gluon*" one
of the gems of the piece, which he c4tild have sung
exceedingly well. The whole opera went off with re-
, markable spirit, and was warmly applauded by a

Mr. Baron Alderson.—Which do you do? Do you appear
and pray judgment, or do you not appear ?
Mr. brill.—Why, my lord, is that tholes of evils I cer-
tainly shall Sot take spot myself to pray for jedgesent
against my learned friend's clients, and the MUMS Oust be
struck out, if the court so please.
Mr. Bann Parks—Very good. Let it be so. Strike out
those causes.

that one of the leaned gentlemen alluded to by Mr. Bovill

Mr. boys—No, my lord. I suppose it must share the

MONEY MARKET.

TIMIDLY Emma.
The news from Canada produced a depressing in-
fluence upon the English funds this morning.
Camels opened at 1 per cent. below the closing
prices of yesterday, the first quotations being 901 to
/ for money; and large sales of the New Three-and-
a-Quarter per Cents. were effected u low as 90/ in
the early part of the day. Prices subsequently ral-
lied, and Consols left off at 90/ to 1 for money, and
91 to / for ths account.
The Three per Cents. Reduced were done at
891„, 891, and lis Gets1 ; and the New Three-
and-a-Quarter per were last done at 901.
Bank Stock was done at 1921 and 194; and India
Stook at 948 and 244/.
Eiebequer Bills were done at 455. to 495. prem. ;
and India Bonds at 725. prem., which is about la.
advance on yesterday's prices.
The continued abundance of money manifestly has
counteracted the effect of the Canadian intelligence,
and no doubt will continue to do so, unless the fears
of speculators as to the country being engaged in war
should be acted upon unduly.
In the foreign market the arrangements for the
settlement mainly occupied the attention of the
dealers. The transactions were on a limited scale, and
early in the day prices were depressed, but with a
few exceptions they improved urn the earlier quota-
tions. In Peruvian the conversion seems to have so
occupied attention that it is difficult to get &rotation.
By the Europa there are letters in the City to-day
from Mexico of 12th April, which are duplicates of
the letters by the Thames, West India steamer, not
yet arrived. They quote the sale of goods as enticed-
ingly doll for the last fortnight, owing to the many
feast days attending Easter. Exchange on London,
