ROI AL ITALIAN OPERA.

" Martha" was last night given for the first time this
season, with Madame Penco as Lady Enrichetta, Signor
Delle Sedie as Plunkett, and Mario as Lionel. "Il suo
sguardo" was sweetly given by Madame Penco and Mario,
and " The last rose of summer" was so overflowing with
tenderness and expression that an encore and call for Ma-
dame Penco followed. Mario gave the delicious melody
" M'appari tuti amor," s ith such taste and fervour, that
so completely enchanted the audience that an entire repeti.
tion:of the whole had to be given before silence could be
procured. Della Sedio and Didiee sang with their accus-
tomed excellence.

The opera has been mounted in a style of surpassing
beauty.

LORD JOHN'S afPßOm.pri

Sent to UNCLE SAM in reply to the demand for the Emily
St. Pierre.
My first word's my last,
You'd MISS EMILY fast,
And you might have looked after her better ;
But now she's eloped,
Or as you would say, " sloped,"
Pray, SAM, don't you wish you may get her?

—Punch.

THE SUNDAY BANDS IN THE PAEKS.—The
seventh season was commenced on Sunday last, with great
success, the number of persons present awl the financial
results in Regent's-park being equal to any previous year.
As usual the vast audiences met and retired with the most
perfect order. The experiment of chairs inside the enclo-
sure was also much approved, indeed had there been three
times 300 they would have had occupants. As a finale the
National Anthems of France, Italy, and England were
given, and we understand that of Germany is to be intro-
duced on Sunday next.

PURCHASE OF FOXFIOUNDS BY THE YOUNG

priced couples, the one at 125 guineas, and the other at 70
guineas,

Thus far no specie has been taken from the Bank
of England on account of the Egyptian loan of
£2,195,000, but it is supposed that the recent de-
cline in the Paris Exchange was partly attributable
to purchases of bills on that city, with a view of send-
ing gold thence to Egypt via Marseilles.
The general bond for the amount of the Egyptian
loan has been signed by Ismael Pasha, the Regent
of Egypt, in the absence of the Viceroy. The power
of attorney appointing Commissioners to sign the
small bonds has been executed by the Viceroy him-
self in Paris, and it is said the bonds are likely to
bo ready for issue about the 15th of June.
A further supply of sovereigns, amounting to
£400,000, was withdrawn from the Bank of Eng-
land yesterday on account of the Turkish loan, and
it now appears that nearly £2,500,000 has been
forwarded by the contractors> This efflux of specie
is likely to be stimulated by shipments on account
of the Egyptian and Russian operations lately
negotiated in this country. The movement will no
doubt exercise an important influence upon the
tendency of the money market during the next few
weeks. At present the rates of discount continue
stationary, but notwithstanding the comparative
quietude of the demand they exhibit firmness, and
very little if any accommodation can be obtained
under the Bank of England minimum of 3 per cent.
Some of the discount firms are asking rather higher
terms, and a large proportion of the securities
brought forward is consequently taken to the na-
tional establishment.

There is a decrease of about £21,000 in the traf-
fic returns of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Rail-
way for the past week compared with the corres-
ponding period of last year, which, however, it
must be borne in mind, included Whitsun week.
A moderate amount of business was transacted
in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and
prices were tolerably firm. The sales were abou

CITY NEWS---THIS DAY.

Two O'CLocK.

Business continued quiet in tho market for Eng-
lish Securities, the adjustment of the account in
foreign bonds and railway shares occupying chief
attention. Consols are, nevertheless, firm, being
93! 1 for money, and 92 1, less the dividend, for the
10th proximo. The large withdrawal of coin from
the Bank of England yesterday appears to have
checked the symptoms of buoyancy previously
manifested. The New Threes are steady at 91! 1;
the Reduced flat at 9111- I ; Exchequer Bills remain
at 10s. to 14s. prem. ; Bank Stock is heavy at 234
and 235 ; and India 5 per Cent. Loan, 1091 1.

SECONDARIES COURT.
Before Mr, Potter and a Common Jury).

NOVEL AND IMPORTANT ACTION UNDER THE BANK
RUPTCY ACT-DAMAGES £45--MOODY V. ARTHUR.

This was a writ of enquiry sent down from the Court of
Exchequer to assess the damages, laid at £3OO, for retain-
ing certain property, defendant having suffered judgment
to go by default. _ _

Mr. Walter Butler, of Tooley-street, for the plaintiff.
said the plaintiff was the assignee of a bankrupt named
Fancourt, the defendant holding certain goods, which, of
course, was, upon the bankruptcy, vested in the assignee.
It would be proved that Arthur had sold the goods and
pocketed the money. The goods consisted of some very
valuable cases of insects, which the bankrupt had been
many years in collecting, and which he had parted with to
the defendant (under certain circumstances) at a time when
he well knew he had no right to do so. It was by the
merest chance that the knowledge of these goods came to
the plaintiff, and in fact the bankruptcy was nearly if not
quite over when the facts came out. Ile (Mr. Butler)
would read to the court certain passages from the examina-
tion taken at the Bankruptcy Court, and then prove the
case generally.
After hearing the document read, the learned Secondary
directed the jury, who assessed the damages at £45.

POLICE-THIS DAY.

BOW-STREET, THIS DAY.
EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE AGAINST A. SOLICITOR.—A
gentlemanly-dressed man named John O'Brien was brought
up on a warrant charging him with having, on the 23d of
May inst., written and published a false, malicious, and
scandalous libel against James Graham Lewis, of the firm
of Lewis and Lewis, 3, Ely-place, Holborn.
Mr. Giffard appeared for the prosecution, and the defen-
dant con lucted his own cause, although a solicitor was in
attendance on his behalf.
Mr. Giffard, in opening the case, said that in November,
1861, the prisoner filed a bill in Chancery, in which he com-
plained of a variety of transactions between himself, as
client, and the Messrs. Lewis, as his attorneys, stating that
they had kept back moneys which they ought to have paid
him, they putting in an answer which extended to a great
length, after which the defendant obtained leave to with-
drawthe c
charges
es itamend
thefirst
his billbill of
except
onecomplaint, and struck out all
which related to a
sum of £3OO. The proceedings in the Chancery Court were
still pending, and the defendant, instead of carrying on as
he had a perfect right to do, adopted the course o writing
libellous letters charging the Messrs. Lewis with perjury
and embezzlement, and sending those letters to many per-
sons which was calculated to do them serious damage in their
profession as solicitors. On the 23d of May the defendant
wrote to Mr. James Pheneas Davis, solicitor, of Clifford-
street, Bond-street, the letter contained charges against
the Messrs. Lewis, and on the following day he also
wrote Mr. William Bishop, the gunsmith of Now Bond-
street—directing the letter to the Archbishop of Bond •
street—a letter of the same injurious description. It had
also come to the knowledge of the Messrs. Lewis that
letters of a similar description had been transmitted to Mr.
Abraham, a solicitor, of Bloomsbury-square, who was now
present, but who was unwilling to give those letters up,
though probably he would do so under magisterial pres-
sure. Of course it was of the grea est importance to the
Messrs. Lewis that the system should at once be put a stop
to, and the present proceedings were instituted for that
purpose. The learned eentleman then called.
Mr. William Bishop, who said—l km a gunsmith, carry-
ing on business in New Bond-street. A few days ago I re-
ceived a letter addressed to the Archbishop of Bond-street.
It was written by the defendant. lam enabled to say so
because I am familiar with his handwriting.
The letter was handed in and read. It contained a num-
ber of offensive observations applicable to the Messrs,
Lewis, charging perjury and embezzlement, and threaten-
ing them with revenge.
Mr. William Frederick Hobrow said-1 am managing
clerk to Mr. James Phineas Davis, solicitor, who resides
at 15, Clifford-street, Bond-street. I was present when Mr.
Lewis opened the letter I produce. It is signed John
O'Brien.
The letter, after being identified by Mr. Bishop as being
in the handwriting of the defendant, was then read. It
contained similar charges to those mentioned in the letter
produced by the first witness.
Mr. Samuel Benjamin Abrahams, solicitor, of No. 7,
Bloomsbury-square, said—l have in my possession many
letters from the prisoner; but I have been subpoenaed to
produce two letters by the Messrs. Lewis. I have a great
_ disinclination to producing them. However, lam entirely
in your worship's hands.
- Mr. Henry—l think you had better produce them.
The letters were then handed in.
Mr. Da vis—l showed the letters to Messrs. Lewis. I
did so as I thought it was the wish of the defendant I
should do so. If I had thought they would have been
made use of in this manner, it is but fair to say I should
not have done so.
One of the letters handed in was read. It was similar in
effect to the two mentioned above. It contained imputa-
tions of perjury.
Defendant—Did you ever speak to me about making a
compromise with Messrs. Lewis ?
Mr. Abrahams—The subject of a compromise was dis-
cussed.
Mr. Giffard—Let's have it all out, Mr. Abrahams.
Mr. Abrahams—As a mutual friend of both parties I
thought it best the litigation should end. I found that
Mr. O'Brien was not opposed to such a course, but Messrs.
Lewis were resolutely determined against such a proceed.
ing.
Defendant—Did I ever authorize you to offer any terms?
Mr. Abrahams—No ; certainly not. I acted simply as
a volunteer. I don't say for a moment that you did.
Mr. Giffard—Mr. Lewis is now in court. He was not
at the commencement of the hearing.
Mr. Henry—Do you wish to call him ?
Mr. Giffard—l do not ; bat if the defendant wishes I will
put him into the witness-box.
Dafendant—l wish to cross-examine Mr. Lewis.
Mr. James Graham Lewis, of Ely-place, was then sworn,
and the prisoner put a series of questions to him relative to
the action pending in Chancery between himself and the
defendant.
Mr. Henry—l don't wish to atop the cross-examination,
but I may as well inform you that the present investigation
has nothing to do with the proceedings in Chancery. The
only question I have to deal with is whether you have
published a defamatory libel.
The defendant having put a few more questions, took the
advice of the magistrate, and desisted.
Sergeant Robinson of the Detective force, said—l appre-
hended the prisoner last evening in the Strand. I asked
him if his name was Mr. James O'Brien. He said it was.
I then told him that I was a police-officer, that I held a
warrant for his apprehension on a charge of libel. I then
took him to the station.
Mr. Henry—l shall send this case for trial, but I will
accept bail, viz., two sureties for £2OO, and your own recog-
nisance for £4OO for his appearance at the sessions.
Tho defendant said he would be ready with the required
bail as soon as possible.

A RUFFIAN PROPERLY PUNISIIED.—John Williams,
a bridle cutter, living in Wardour-street, Soho, was charged
with the following ruffianly treatment of a young woman
named Emma Iliff, with whom he cohabited.
The complainant said the defendant had frequently ill-
used her, and after being out all Saturday night, he came
home at 10 on Sunday morning, and dragged her down a
flight of stairs and kicked her till she was insensible, and
while in that state she was told that he kicked her again.
The Clerk asked how she got such a bad eye (it was fear-
fully discoloured), and the complainant said it was the
effect of one of the prisoner's kicks.
Mrs. Mary Barton proved seeing the prisoner kick the
complainant several times, and drag her down a flight of
stairs in a most brutal manner. She had often seen the
prisoner kick the young woman, who was well conducted,
and assisted him in his work.
Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, for the
prisoner, said he did not mean to deny the assault, or that
the poor woman had been ill-used, but if the prisoner was
sent to prison she would have her means of support cut off.
He thought if a remand were granted some settlement be-
tween the parties might be come to.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was just one of those brutal cases
they often heard of. He should commit the prisoner for
• two months with hard labour,

MENT.

Lines) Bill was read a third time and passed.
The following bills were considered, and ordered to be

ife and Kinross Railway Companies ; Lor.don and North-
Western Railway and Chester and Holyhead Railway

castle Railway. _

PETITIONS.
Petitions were presented by Mr. M'Mahon and several
other Irish members, in favour of the Fisheries (Ireland)
Bill.

FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. M'MAHON moved the second reading of this bill,
the object of which, he said, was simply to assimilate the
law respecting the inland and sea fisheries of Ireland with
those of England. There was fish on the coast of Ireland
sufficient to feed three times the population of that country,
and yet at the present time a large portion of the people of
that country were starving. The fact was the Irish
fisheries were totally neglected, while fish was imported
into that country in large quantities from Scotland. Several
causes have been assigned for this, but the real cause was
the bad laws which regulated the Irish fisheries. Until
they were restrained by act of Parliament from fishing
freely as they were wont to do, there was abundance of fish
of every kind caught on the Irish coast. In the middle of
the seventeenth century the Irish were not only able to
procure a sufficient supply of fish for themselves, but to
compete with the Dutch in their own markets. In 1654
there was a larger quantity of fish cured in the town of
Wexford alone than there were in 1813 in the whole of the
empire, so that there was no doubt when let alone the
Irish ,fisheries were prosperous, but such had been
the consequence of the interference of Parliament, that,
while in the year 1731 Ireland exported 21,000 barrels of
herrings, in 1834 she exported none, but, on the contrary,
she imported 149,000 barrels. In 1785 an interference took
place with those fisheries in the shape of a new description
of trawling, and a consolidation took place of all the worst
portions of the Acts of Parliament respecting the Irish
fisheries. From that time, therefore, the Irish fisheries
decreased, and instead of exporting fish they became im-
porters, and that to such an extent that tor the twenty years
previous to 1860 the average yearly importation of herrings
into Ireland was 127,000 barrels ; and in 1834 they imported
from Scotland alone 121,000 barrels of herrings. The hon.
member then proceeded to detail the restrictions placed on
the Irish fisheries, from which the English fisheries were
entirely free, and which he ascribed as the cause of the
failure of the fisheries in the former country. It was the
object of the measure, therefore, to remove these restric-
tions, and place the fishery laws of the two countries on a
similar footing, in terms of the report of the Irish Fishery
Commissioners; and he concluded by asking the house to
allow the measure to be read a second time.
NEW MEMBER.

Colonel WHITE here took the oaths and his seat for the
borough of Kidderminster, in room of Mr. Bristow, who
has accepted the office of Secretary to the Admiralty. The
hon. member was introduced by Mr. Brand and Mr.

Beamish.
Lord FEItMOY then resumed the debate on the Irish
Fisheries Bill, stating that he considered a bill on so im-
portant a measure as this ought not to be left in the charge
of a private member, but should be taken up by the Go-
vernment. The consequence of the executive Govern-
ment not doing so was, that the time of the house
was taken up with discussions which resulted in nothing,
while the Government, instead of helping on and forward-
ing measures for the good of Ireland, prevented and ob-
structed such measures from being carried out. He thought
the hon. and learned gentleman was wrong in bringing up
the deep sea fisheries and the salmon fisheries in one bill,
and he thought, moreover, that Irishmen were too apt to
depend on legislation for the development of the resources
of their country. He would rather have them rely on
the maxim that heaven helped them that helped them-
selves ; and the Bay of Dublin being at present
fished by Cornish fishermen, who made a good
living by doing so, afforded a moral which he hoped
his countrymen would see the meaning of, which was, that
were they to show the same industry and perseverance they
could do the same, and there would be no necessity for
having recourse to Cornish men to fish the Bay of Dublin.
He did not admit that the system of state cranes and bag
nets had been' the means of diminishing the quantity of
fish caught in Ireland, as he found, from returns which he
had procured from the London fish market, that while up
to the month of May in the year 1861 the quantity of
salmon brought into the London market from Ire-
land was 3,647 boxes, the quantity brought into the
same market up to the month of May in the present
year was 5,783 boxes, being an increase of nearly
30 per cent. He, however, protested against a measure of
this nature being in the hands of a private member, and ho
should move as an amendment that it be be read a second
time that day six months.

GRUNDY.—At Lord's-ground yesterday this match was
continued from the previous day, and, in a great measure
owing to the fine batting of the Hon. S. Ponsonby (in the
first innings) and Mr. It. A. Fitzgerald (who in the second
innings scored 33, not out), Ireland achieved a victory with
three wickets to go down.
THE MAILS, &C.—SOUTHAMPTON, Tuesday.--

Some melancholy eases of ahydrophobia have
lately excited considerabloalarmin France. The death of
the lady of an eminent physician, under very sad circum-
stances, has been recorded in the Gazette des Hospitaux,
and various trials have been made of remedies which have
been suggested from the reports made of their efficiency.
