ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.—RE-APPEARANCE OP MADAME
GRlSl.—Grisi has re-appeared, rather unexpectedly. After
her declared intention to retire from the stage, and her
"farewell performances " last season before her departure
for America, the public had given up all thoughts of see-
ing her again, till a few days ago, when it was announced
that she had made an engagement for ten nights to per-
form the principal characters of her repertoire. The an-
nouncement was accompanied by an explanation of the
reasons which had induced her to take this step; but this
was wholly unnecessary. Grisi is too great and too de-
servedly a favourite to have had any ground for appre-
hension as to her reception ; the public are only too
glad to have her before them once more. She appeared
last evening in the character of Leonora in La Favorita,
oce of the finest of her parts, not only as a vocal per-
formance, but as a piece of beautiful and pathetic acting.
When she presented herself she received a most enthu-
siastic welcome from a very crowded house. Among
the distinguished company present we noticed their
Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cambridge, the Prin-
cess Mary, and the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Meck-
lenburg-Strelitz.

TFIE SOUTH SEA COMPANY.—A special meeting of
the South Sea Company was held yesterday, when the

in the realisation of its assets. At the close of the pro-
ceedings a formal resolution was agreed to adopting the
report, and authorising the directors to make the distri-
bution in the manner suggested.
Mr. W. Whateley (Conservative) has offered himself
a candidate for Bath, in the room of Mr. Phinn, who
has accepted the office of one of the Secretaries to the
Admiralty.
A meeting of the National Brazilian Mining Associa-
tion was held yesterday morning, when it was resolved
to appoint Mr. Corney and Mr. Hartley to co-operate
with Mr. Sheppard in protecting the property for the
benefit of the shareholders. The success of the late
legal proceedings and the desirableness of winding-up
the company in the Court of Chancery with a view to
its reorganisation were the points brought under con-
sideration. The estates are represented as valuable, and
it is alleged that it properly developed they can be ren-
dered productive. The position of Mr. Edward Oxen-
ford, as sole surviving director and trustee, was referred
to, the arrangement of his claim being a question of im-
portance. It was stated that there is every wish to deal
with it fairly, but the shareholders express a determina-
tion not to sacrifice their rights.
The continental advices continue to bring firm quota-
tions of the rates of exchange from all quarters. -

both from Sydney. The Fortuna,- from Melbourne, is
also reported, but her gold, if any, remain., to be ascer-
tained. The value of the specie by the Euxine, from,
Bombay, is 8,1621.
A further examination in the case of Messrs. David-
son and Gordon took place yesterday at Guildhall, in
the presence of a numerous attendance of persons con-
nected with mercantile interests, and another adjourn-
ment was necessary to complete the whole of the evi-
dence.
