Mr. Burr asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether the duty on carrisces let for biro might not be as-
sessed quarterly instead of yearly, on the same principle
that govern. the Irene of quarterly licensee to let horses for

VALUE OF FOREIGN WINES.

Sir F. KELLY asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
Its refereuee to a paper quoted by him, whether be was pre
pared to state in what manner, and upon what principle,
the pet.e or value of foreign wine isestimated or ascertained
upon the payment of the Customs duty spots importation.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the
question wows owl of considerable interest. The system of
obtaining the value of imports was one that had been orga-
nised with grew advantage to the country. It did not root
upon the payment of enstoroa duty, if it did the probability
was that It would not be accurate. The object of the pre-
sent system was to give as far as pounds the true value of
the articles brought into the snaky, and the mods in
which it was done might be laid before the house by the
publication of the various ruernorasids issued by the
Customs department. It was clearly described by an
extrect which be would read. " Co the cam of the more nu-
merous and coasiderable articles which are entered at the
Custonkhowe by quantity alone the value exhibited io the
statistical record is obtained by a process of computation
which combines the quantity with the granite price of the
several commodities. The avenge price is supplied to the
laspeeinr-geseral of exports and import', In part by some
of the leading merebents and brokers in the City of London,
and is part by three gestlenten who have peculiar facilities

THE GREAT EASTERN AT VALENTIA.

VALENTIA, WEDNISDAT.

The Great Eastern arrived here this morning at
6.30 a.m., and proceeds to Berehaven harbour
until the shore end of the cable is laid. A slight
gale has been blowing for the last forty-eight
hours, during which the big ship behaved splen-
didly. The passage here was favourable, but slow,
averaging six knots an hour.
The Caroline, with the shore end of cable, was
detained at Falmouth by bad weather until Mon.
day, and had to be taken in tow by the Great
Eastern off Lands End the same day, and brought
here during the heaviest sea. The cable remained
motionless in the tanks, and is in perfect condition.
The shore end will be laid directly the weather
improves ; the operation will occupy about two
days.

The Prince Imperial is convalescent, and the Em-
peror left this morning for Plombihres with a very
small suite. The recovery of the young Prince is
announced in this morning's Constitutionnel with
all that feoriture of eloquence with which M. Li-
mayrac loves to adorn his public expressions of
homage. He acknowledges the gravity of the ill-
ness from which the " future sovereign of his
children " has escaped, and contrives in a single
sentence to unite the general alarm, gratitude and
affection felt towards Emperor and Empress, and
the high hopes which the youngster's disposition
and talents have raised. The Empress and Prince
leave to-morrow for Fontainebleau.

The Minister of Agriculture, M. Belie, has just
published a lecture on political economy, for the
benefit of the farmers, in the shape of a circular to
the prefects. It is in answer to the complaints
tlt,►t the abolition of the sliding scale of duties on
grain is the cause of the present depression of the
agricultural interest. In England the arguments
of the minister have long been accepted as axioms,
but it will be long before the French farmer, under
the visitation of two successive years of singularly
abundant harvests, will learn to give thanks to
God for the blessing of cheapness, or not to curse
the government for what the minister calls an
" atoms of prosperity," the consequence of which
is to bring prices down. The minister has left

This evening's Moniker notices the reports of a
coming congress, which excited only astonished in-
credulity even when the canard was first let fly from
the Pall-Mall. It is a favourite manoeuvre in this
country of limited publicity to send to some
favoured newspaper abroad a piece of news which
is only intended to feel the public pulse. Having
produced its effect, the Moniker acknowledges that
it never gained a moment's credence, but adds that
‘‘ the grandeur of the idea has not been questioned,
and that the struggle between Germany and Den-1
mark soon came to prove how just it was. But the
imperial government leaves to time the care of
justifying still more completely the advice of his
Majesty."

that the financial magnates, whose offers were re-
fused, are revenging themselves by operatingagainst
the Rente, while the general public is anxious to
obtain a share of the large profits which the Mobi-
lier will realise on the operation. The facility
with which the market is affected by even the most
extravagant reports is the proof that confidence is
still far from being re-established.

HER. MAJESTY'S THEATRE,

Semiramide was performed at this theatre on Tues-
day night foe the first time this mesas. The opera was got
up with cocaiderable splendour, and the principal characters
were magnificently snug. We say rung, for a repreassota.
tion of this gorgeous piece can never really be a dramatic
performance. It can never be anythlog but a vocal dis-
play, though as such it may be (ss it was last night)
very brilliant and delightful. Bat it was, as usual, inordi-
nately long, as the curtain did not fall till past midnight.
The osier:gni performers, nevertheless, received an " ova'
tion" in the customary forms.
Millie. Titiens was the Semiremide. She was grand and
quesulike, and her action (in as far as the necessity of sing-
ing tousle so utterly undramatio would allow), was animated
and limpassi.mted. Her singing was perfect ; all the finest
passages ;were brought out with the utmost beauty and
effect. The air "11.1 nuio lusinehier," the finest thing
is the opera, because among its other beauties it has the
beauty of expression, was an iooomparableexhibitioo of the
highest qualities of vocal art ; and there were other things,
such as "Serhami ognor si lido," warmly less exquisite.
She was admirably supported by Madame Trebelli
whose Arum was altogether charming. She was, indeed,.
as unlike a gallant young warrior as could well be imagined,
but she was (what she always is) • very lovely stomas,
and that was quite enough. Her rich contralto voice, her
psi* purity, and refinement of style and o:natio°, made
her vocal performance worthy of comparison with that of
Allanoi in her most palmy days. The famous and highly-
/mislaid duet between Bemiramide and Arises, " Ebben •
to, ferisoi," was a speaimeu of duet singing that could
not be excelled. 7 It was listened to with breathless delight,
and the purism " Oloroo d'orror • di contento" was raptu-
rously redemanded. Signor Avesi sustained the character
of Amur exceedingly well, arid Signor Stage* gave good
effect to Idreno, • small part, but the only tenor part is
the open. The richness and brilliancy of Rossiors,in-
strnmentation in this opera were fully displayed by the
admirable precision with which the accompaniments were
played by the orchestra ; and the choruses, some of which
are grand and masterly, were sung with great effect.

He said to her, " Your ha-bawd ! You are not his wife

frightened and alarmed at the violence of the primer, for
when I got no again he seized me by the collar and said,
" I'll summons you, you —, by knocking your
eye out." My wife screamed for the police, when fortu-
nately for us two came up, sad I gave one of them 3s. 6d.
to pay the cabman, as I was afraid to go war him.
Mr. Mansfield inquired if the prisoner was sober at the
time ?

prises 152 entries, 60 donkeys being admitted to com-
pete for prime. The object of the show is
to encourage the better trea►ment of these animals,
the Earl of Harrowby, the Duke of Marlborough, the
Bishops of Lidos and Oxford, Miss Burdett ()mitts, and
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals being
among the chief supporters. The judges are Mr. Pritchari,
of the Veterinary College, Mr. Gilbert, and Mr. Dawkins.
Their duties commenced shortly after the doors were
opened.

In Glass 1, for English or foreign moles, Jack, belonging
to Mr. G. Bishop, pitied the tint prise (71.) ; TOM Sayers's g
Barney, the second (5/.); and J. Pontos'. Fille-de-FAir, the 9

Galena, and the third for ditto two year olds.
Writing as lam at 11 a.m. for a despatch which
mast leave at 12.44, it is impossible for ins to single
out all the lucky prizeholders, especially as a good
deal of the judging is still to be dons, but I may
say generally that after the Devons, which are espe-
cially good, the Herefords are considered worthy of
commendation, and that the short-horns, which us
not much prized in the west of England, are
nothing remarkable.
Bat I must mks time and room to say something
of the noble horses. There stretches out before me
at this moment a paddock upon which horses are
caracoling about which would have been war horses
in the time of Marlborough, but which are only
cart horses in the nineteenth century. To my
eye they are infinitely more striking and worthy of
admiration than the thin weedy creatures ridden by
equally thin and weedy little boys who make their
abuts annually at Epsom. These fine fellows are
16 to 17 hands high each, with manes that almost
sweep the ground, and when they neigh the very
earth quivers with the reverbration. If ancient
poets, or, still better, ancient sculptors, knew any-
thing about the points of a horse, the cart horses of
' Ayrshire, of Suffolk, and of Devon, ought to
be well placed on the prize list. They
are in great numbers and much admired,
and I can enure you I am supported in
my opinion as to their comparative beauty by very
high authority. There is a pony of extraordinary
beauty exhibited by • Mr. Smith, but which, to
the astonishment of the visitors, has not been
awarded a prize. It is a perfect fan-simile in
miniature of my Ayrshire friends, and gives you an
idea of the latter something like what • statuette
of Heenan or the Staleybridge Infant would give
bou of the original. He is a splendid little fellow,
ut not as yet sufficiently accustomed to the pre-
sence of strangers to justify much famili-
arity. As for the "ship," there are,
of course, Leicester' and Southdown in
strength; but the speciality of this western
agricultural show is our favourite Dartmoor mut-
ton, in a state of vitality and locomotion. They
are not pretentious.looking, but their meat, as I
can testify, is exoellent, and therefore I was glad
to see them so well represented. Another spe-
ciality is the Devonshire butter, which deserves
encouragement, not only for its excellent quality,
but for the at once scientific, sinaple, and cleanly
way in which it is made. The milk is first put in
a tin pan on the fire, and allowed to "scald," not
boil ; it then cools into the far-famed Devonshire
"junket," and, finally, is transformed into butter
by the simple and cleanly process of beating with
a wooden spoon. Her baud never touches either
milk or butter, an exemption (for the butter) which
I believe is enjoyed nowhere but in Devonshire.
