increase, and they,' amount this week to 4,7oo;qearters:wheat,'
4,973 barrels and 570 sacks of flour,and,'6,oB4 quarters of
Indian corn. .The exports coastwise are less than of late, and
merely comprise 1,161 quarters wheat, 1,881 barrels and 379
sacks of flour, 716 quarters beans, and small quantities of Bar-
ley, Indian corn, and oatmeal. Our Corn Exchange this
morning was scarcely so well attended as on Friday, but a fair
amount of business was transacted in wheat and flour, at an
advance in price of Id to 2,d per bushel on the former, and 6d
to Is per barrel, and-ls per sack,"ort flour, on` last Tuesday's
rates. Indian coca's scarce'; yellow improved in price, and
white receded. Goad American yellow corn is the favourite
article, and commands 3)0 per 480 lbs. Oats, barley, beans,

This work contains a plain and complete description of the anti-
omy and physiology of the reproductive on and of their relative
onoitions in health and disease. Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the
tighest medical honours, as evidenced by the diplomas and testimo-
dais inserted in the work, is the only legally qualified medical man
who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to the
reatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with advan-
age by all those whose constitutions may have become debilitated
trough secret practices acquired in youth, or by the excesses of
ata.r yeas, whereby the pleasures of life are warred, the objects of
marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of unceas-
log misery and regret.

The French Gevernment has received from the
officer in command of the naval-station of Brazil and
'La Plate dispatches ..to the eth.of March. At that
date is-Adritiral lem PiteDOltit had just placed on board
.ship for France the expeditionary troops, whose pre-
sence was no longer required ,in that 'part of the
world. The report of the Admiral speaks in high
- terms of the conduet of the marines and crews under
ells command. Lended eat- Buenos Ayers after the
battle which tenetbated the war, 'and at a moment
:when the city was:overrun hy bands of armed men,
'they contributed powerfully to.: maintain order and
:protect property._ It was to their firm attitude, the
report sayse that the bank = and. custom-house stores
''Were preserved from Pillage-.
A letter from Frankfort states. that French agents
.:,are now employed'; in visiting"
different'parts of Ger-
many to collect information -as to the soldiers who
served in the Imperial armies, the object being to
ijresent rewards to all those-who rendered services to
the Empire. Registers, forethis purpose have been
opened at all the French embaSsies in:Germany. At
'Frankfort several Persons are said to have presented
themselves.
The Minister of the Interior has given orders to
have the plans for rtclaiming the Bay of St. Michel
pursued actively. 'Tne works are to be executed by
.convicts condemned to herd labour.
The conditions of the arrangement by which the
State has ct.ded id. the City of Paris the property of
the Brie de Boulogne are- eseye the Assemblie Na-
jionale) the same as those agreed to in 1828, when
the City of Paris obtaknaii posseasion of the Place de
'Louis XV. and the Chatiips Tepees; that is, to bear
the expense of superintendence and repairs ; to lay out
`in the course of five ye4S; in works of embellishment,
-2,230,000 f. at least; and, lastly;
to preserve to the
grounds ceded their preaent destination. The Bois
de Boulogne give a yearly revenue of 31,486 f.,
'and its keeping-up 'costs '11,4661., so that
there remains a nett revenue of 20,0191'. Con-
sequently, the State has 1:14.:a slight interest to pre-
serve the property of Allis wood, whereas the City
of Paris has a strong one `to-- purchase it, since it has
become a favourite Prornenade for the beau monde.
The embellishments which are to be effected are a
vast system
Of macadamisation for the principal
avenues ; lighting in all directions with gas ; bans
and fountains tO•be erected ; and large pieces of green
sward laid down in various parts. The City of Paris,
in fact, intends to make the Bee, de Boulogne some-
thing like the parks of London

I Martiri,l Donizetti's celebrated opera, was brought
forward last night, with brilliant.suncess. The drama is
e lyrical version of Corneille's celebrated tragedy 'of
Polyeucte, founded on the persecution of the Christians
tiedsr the Roman empire. The scene is laid in the ca,
pital of the Roman province of Arminia; of which Felix
is governor.- His daughter Pauline is the wife of Po-
lyutue, a noble Roman, who has secretly embraced the
Christian faith. Polyutus and his tellow Christians are
in the custem of pursuing the rites of their religion in
the subterranean catacombs of the city. One of them,
the nearest- friend of Polyutus, _is discovered to be a
Christian, and to have converted a Roman to his faith.
Though exposed to torture, be refuses to divulge the
name of his convert, on which Polyutus publicly declares
himself the friend and convert of Nearchus, and shares
his doom. Pauline, hitherto ignorant of her husband's
religion, and holding it in horror, visits him in his prison,
and, being herself converted, becomes along with him
and his friends a martyr to the faith, being thrown to
wildheasts in the public amphitheatre.
The first two acts of the opera are somewhat heavy;
yet the ertsembk,was unquestionably most brilliant. • The
opening scene ikin the catacombs, in which the Chris-
tiana are assembled for devotion. The hymn rung by
them-in unison is plain; simple, and solemn. Pauline,
attended by si number' of Roman ladies, comes to the
same place to perform some religious rites at the tomb
of her mother: They
sing a hymn to Proseipine, the
light character of which is well contrasted with the
music ,of tho Christians. Pauline, left alone by the
tomb, sings an invocation to her mother's spirit, an air
of great beauty,and expression. In this air, Mdme.
Julienne, thnnew.pritila donna, made her first impression"
on the audience, which went on increasing to the end of
tho.opere. This lady,, who is from the Grand Opera of
Paris, is young and pleasing
in appearance. Her voice
is a high and powerful soprano, very clear, and somewhit
French in its quality and formation. She sometimes
overstrains it, when it becomes too piercing; but it is a
fine organ. and-she possesses brilliant and finished -exe
cution; with great energy and passion. While Paulina
remains- by the tomb, she hears the Christian bymo at
a distances and is about to fly in terror, when her
husband and the Christians enter, and she discniers
with grief and horror that he belongs to the
hated sect. The situation forms the finale to the first
act, which: is written with great breadth, vigour, and
energy of instrumentation. In the second act, the pro-
coniad Severus makes his triumphal entry, One of the
most splendid and beautiful pageants we have ever seen
upon the stage, en which, as it seemed, the whole re •
sources of. shit great establishment were exhausted.
Troops, priests, lictoTs, musicians, filed past in endless
succession, inabe,paidst of multitudes of, spectators; the.
costumes of_ every class being admirably appropriate,
Chen there wag a ballet for the entertainment of the'
dignitary.. The music of the'second ,ct is not in a very
happy vein. &passionate scene between Psalms and.
Severus, which opens the third act, forms a sleet which
contains many beanies,. and was very finely given by
Mdlle.rulienne and Ronconi, whose whole pertormarce
of the eharacterOf Severus was worthy of his high re-
putation. Still finer is the Subsequent scene between
Pauline and her husband. The air sung by Tamberlik
in this scene, "Supremo oggetto," is exquisitely tender,
and deliciously accompanied by two violoncellos and the
soft wind instruments. In the next scene. when Polyutus
resolves to devote himself.to death for the sake of his
friend, the air " Si audro net Toro tempio," was sung with
astonishing energy, and received with reiterated scale
matious from' all parts of the house. The prison scene
between, the husband and wife in the last act con-
tains several beauties both of melody and expression
At the fall of the curtain Mstdlle. Jullienne. Taucberlik;
and Runconi were obliged to reappear, accompanied by
Signor Stigelli, whose careful and correct execution of
the music allotted to the secondary, but not unimportant
part of Nearco, was of great consequence to the general
effect. Mr. Costa was then unanimously summoned be•.
fore the curtain. In the fourth act the great duet be-
tween Pauline and Poliutus renewed .the enthusiasm of
the house. The last movement, " 0 sante melodist," was
sung by both artists with extraordinary energy, and the
sustained and reiterated high notes in the cadence gave
a wonderful brilliancy to the climax. Not content with
encoring the movement, the audience compelled Signor
Tamberlik and Madame Julienne to come forward once
again after the repetition.
Mademoiselle Joanna Wagner has arrived, and will,
we are infoensed, make her first appearance on Saturday,
in thO Prophete, with Signor. Mario.

THE YORK R WI Fri A GLANCE AT THE
TWO. THOUSAND GUINEAS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

first day of the York Meting gave the
sporting community some as pretty specimens of fine
finishing ,as have ever been witnessed. The Craven
Stakes was a small coup for the fielders, as Iris, on
whom they laid 5 to 4, turned round at the moment the
flag was lowered, thereby losing many lengths which she
was not able to make up, and consequently finished a
bud third to Radulphus, who beat Lady Agnes by a short
neck.

The Zetlaud Stakes produced one of the finest races
that has ever been seen, as the Queen, Lambton, and
Grapeshot laid close together the whole of the distance,
the first named winning eventually from Grapeshot
by a head, the same distance dividing the second from
Lambton ;-Strait Jacket was beaten off. I think it will
be found is future races that the Queen is much the
hest of the lot, and that it was owing more to fine riding
on the part of Marson and Osborne en the second and
third horses that they finished so close to her Majesty.
The Flying Dutchman's Handicap attracted to the
post a. much larger, field than was expected ; the race
was virtually, however, reduced to a match between
Voltigeur and Haricot ; there was nothing else stood
the slightest chance after a fourth of the dis-
tance had been traversed. lam confident that my
*election,.Haricot, ought to have been the winner,. and
that it was only the artistic jockeyship of Marson on
Voltiged the' enabled the Derby wiener to beat the
mare by the shortest of heads. Lucio, who was much
fancied in town, finished a bad third, with that
comical animal Koook Knoll, a worse fourth; the rest of
the field were in a bundle Ogether, with that mysterious
colter, Cyclops, bringing up the rear. _
Croupier won the Champagne Handicap from Sir
Charles Napier cleverly; and, by Miss White beating The
Setter and Co. for the Selling Stakes, ended the first
days's racing at York.
The betting on the Knavesneire was remarkable for
the jack7in-the box sort of movements of Augur, who
was ppping nt --ottrit rangtng- from'
13 to 18 to 1, leaving off at 16 to 1 Nancy was in con-
siderable r. quest, with her admirers in the north, and
backers of the stable only; they took the few twenties
that could bo got, and afterwards offered to take
eighteens.
As I intend to devote to-morrow and the following day
to an analysis of the Chester Cup, my remarks on the
Newmarket Spring Meeting, except those on Monday's
races, will not be published this week; therefore I will
take the present opportunity of dropping a few hints
on the
