BALEPAST ONE.
There was a great bustle at the Stock Exchange, when
it was ascertained that only one half million out of the
four millions of Exchequer Bills had been taken, and that
by the Bank of England, as a general opinion prevailed
that the house of Rothschild would have had the whole.
It is stated that a Hebrew broker bought largely in conse-
quence of an anticipation that there will be no new
creation of Stock, and Consols were done at 92 for the Ac-
count, since which they are not quite so firm, and receded to
914 H. There are various opinions in respect to the future
financial operations of the Chancellor of the Exchequer ;
by some it is expected that there will be another bidding
for the remaining three millions and a half, by others it is
stated he most resort to a loan ; the latter ne doubt would
be more easily effected, and give satisfaction to the monied
interest and Stock Exchange. Consols at present for the
Account, 91k, Money 91k. Exchequer Bills have receded
from the leaving off price of yesterday, 17 18, to 6.8 prem. ;
Bank Stock lower, 1864 1851.
Very title doing in the Foreign Market. Spanish Ac-
tive 191 ; Portuguese 291 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half, nothing

On Thursday evening last, Mr. James Watts,
of the White Hart, High Holborn, had his Opening Din-
ner, which was attended by a highly numerous and respect-
able company. The Chair was ably filled by E. Radcliffe,
Esq., supported by James Webb, Esq• Atter the com-
pany had done full justice to a most splendid dinner, Non
Nobis was chaunted by the professional gentlemen, Messrs.
Fry, Ashton, &c. The Chairman then gave the Queen,
which was responded to with such enthusiasm that it
lasted some minutes. The next toast, which was admirably
prefaced, was the health of the illustrious lady to whom
the country is so much indebted, the Duchess of Kent—
the Queen Dowager, the Duke of Sussex, and the rest of
the Royal Family. The Chairman's health, with many
others, having been given, the company separated, highly
Fig the al
delighted with the attention of the worthy host and family.

He gave the " Se vuol bollare" in a way that almost left
it doubtful whether it was better acted or better sung;
and the acme remark may be applied with even greater
force to his admirable recitative at the beginning of the
garden scene, in which, admiring and suspecting, loving
and fearing, he praises his bride with fervour, and is
jealous of her with a sorrowful vehemence, and, from his
sad example, cautions the men against their blind con-
fidence in the sex. The opening air of the Countess, the
" Venite inginocchiatevi" of Susanna, and the duet " Cru-
del perch"," were also admirably executed. E. Grisi took
the part of Cherubino, and with a praiseworthy courage
gave the air " Vol the sapete," which is often, ridiculously
enough, taken by Susanna, if the luckless representative
of Cherubino is not considered equal to its performance.
La Prova d'un Opera Seria succeeded. Its comic humour
convulsed the house with laughter, and Grisi proved that
she is no less admirable in comedy than she is eminent in
tragedy.
