offices at that establishment were shut, and the Stock
Exchange was also closed, according to custom. In
the coffee-houses, &c., the price of Consols was
quoted 921 to I for the Bth inst., but it is scarcely
necessary to remark that this quotation is altogether
devoid of official warranty.
The demand for money in the commercial channels
was yesterday active, and the market showed some
tightness. It is probable that the stringency will
continue throughout the current week, as prepara-
tions most be made against the liabilities maturing
on the 4th, which falls on Sunday.

It is expected that Signor Mario will appear at
the Royal Italian Opera is the course of nest week.
The operatic critic of the Times observe; that
though no don the occupants of bores awl stalls appre-
elate, they era rarely in the habit of giving strong outward
manifestations of their approval. They hate little of what
the director of the Musical Union, in his "Record,'
quaintly terms " rieri. oast raisve eestacy." The f c or, -
'helm, lives upon applause; the audible expression of
satisfaction oa in. part of his inclines warms him to his
task, and urger him to exertion as the saner programa.
"Hitherto, we mast say, the patrons of the Royal
Italian Opera in its new abode have been nearly
as cold es the fire which burned down Covent-
garden Theatre was hot. A ' bravo' for one of
Tuaberbk's ileac energetic bursts—a ' Charming!' (or
Cilarmanr!) for some ezquisitely finished ornament of
Madame Borio's—or a dry laugh for en escapada from Ron-
coai that, at oats time (and in another place) would hove
convulsed the house—have been extorted at intervals; bus
ooila toast. Lest night things looked up.' The fact is
that (Mai is one of those artists who will not, node r any pre-
text, be denied."

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.
IVe have been delighted to see and hear once more
the incomparable Grisi—the great, the only Norma
of the stage. Last night she was as grand, as pa-
thetic, as transcendent as raver, and she never met
with a more enthusiastic reception from an overflow-
ing audience. It would he idle to describe a per-
formance the beauties of which are so well
known to the whole world of music. It is
sufficient to say, that these beauties were undimi-
nished ; that she was in full possession of all her
powers ; and that we may reasonably hope that she
will yet long continue to be, what she has been so
long, the ornament and support of the Italian lyrical
tragedy.
the opera was admirably performed. Tamberlik,
in the character of Pollio, is still without a rival.
Mani is a sweet and interesting Adalgisa;
and the part of the high priest, Oroveso, was sus-
tained by Tegliafico with great dignity sad feeling.
We are convinced that the beauties of a drama of this
kind, independent of scenic display, are more deeply
felt in a mall theatre than they were in the vast ex-
panse of Covent-garden.
MADAME RUDLUDOR/E7ll CONCERT.—Thia concert

wu given y dry moronsg at the hove of the Marquis of
Bread&'bane, and veldt r ihe most di•Vntiaished patronage.
Madame Ruderadorff was swisted by her sister, Mdlle.
Matilda Radersdorff, Mies Dolby, Herr Reichert, Signor
Pisani, Mr. Siintno, end Mr. Benedict—who conducted the
onstert. Ihe performeace began with Benedict and De
Beriot'e duet for the piano and violin, on sirs from the Eon-
noselnalo, played by MI sm. Benedict sad Ssintott. It was
*desirably executed, and its effect was h•ighteneil by; the
brilliant tones of orie of Kirkman's *oodles% piestoforter.
Madame Itu,4rselorff sang the sir, " Ab, forge a lui." from
Verdi'a new o;vra, LA Trawate, a freouratle @p-omen of
a work as yet unknown to the Recibir public. A pretty
lONISE C I by a royal amateur, the Doke of flaxeCotourg,
was sung ty Herr Reinhardt; and a very floe duet, "Ti
yew, ti from Lord Wutraorslsnd's opera, 1: Eroe
di Loarostro, was agog by Madame sad Mdlle. Ruder:roil.
The reoond p ,rt of the concert misted of a seleceio• from
Costa's Eli, including some of the most besatital aroma= in
that work. Madame Raderedorff *sag the air, " I will extol
the*, 0 L,rd " in which *be produced so groat as effect at
Baster•hall. The pathetic duet, "Hannah, wby wespest
than ? " was snug with much szertinion by Madame Rs-
deradorff sod Herr Reichtrdt. The Sue concerted pieces—
the Trio, " Thou shalt love the Lord i" and the Quartet,
" We bless you "—were snag by Madame Radersdorff. Miss
Dolby, Herr Reichardt, and Stein Pistilli. Min Dolby
gave the evening prayer, "Thu Diet I lift my heart,"
with charming siespacity ; and the beautiful chorus, "No
evil shall befall thee," for female voicer, conciuded the
perfermanse. Tie @apish owc,rt.hsU was tilled with
neshiai.able ccmpany.

Mr. Charles Braham has lately nag at several
*manta in Lobs, at all of which be has set a g ni 'r-
entals. Ten Portofino sides generally saiataia that
his voice is mach better suited fcr the sal,on than the
theatre.
