METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEI.

We were seasonably well supplied with beasts, sheep,
and calves from abroad, in, for the most part, fair condi-
tion. There were some very good Spanish stock amongst
the former. The demand was in a sluggish state, and
prices had a drooping tendency.
The show of English and Scotch beasts was moderately
extensive as to number, and, with very few exceptions,
prime in quality. All breeds meta dull inquiry at a decline
in the quotations, compared with Thursday, of 2d per 81bs.
The best Scots and crosses changed hands at 4s 4d ; but
many beasts of excellent quality realised only 4s 2d, and
4s per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,300 Scots, short horns, and crosses ; from other
parts of England, 550 various breeds; and from Scotland,
534 Scots and crosses. No beasts arrived from Ireland.
Considering the abundance of grass in the pastures the
show of sheep was very large. Nearly all breeds were in
first .rate condition. Downs and half-breds moved off slowly
on rather easier terms; otherwise, the mutton trade was
very dull at a decline in value of 2d per 81bs. The extreme
value of the best Downs was 4s 10d per 81bs.
There was a good supply of lambs in the pens, and the
lamb trade was heavy at 4d to 8d per Blbs less money.
Prices ranged from 6s to 7s 4d per Blbs. About 900 lambs
came to hand from the Isle of Wight, and 150 from Scot-
land.
Calves—the supply of which was only moderate, moved
off slowly at Thursday's currency, viz., from 4s 2d to st►
2d per 81bs.
Prime pigs were firm in price, but large hogs were very
dull.

HER 1114..TESTI'S THEATRE.

Owing to the illness of Signor Ginglini, "Il
Barbiere" was given instead of " I 1 Trovatore" on
Saturday evening. The Rosina was Madlle. Tre-
belli, who sang so well as materially to increase the
favourable opinion induced by her previous per-
formance of Orsini in " Lucrezia Borgia." Madlle.
Trebelli kept more within the meaning of the
composer than many Rosinas of the present day,
and where she varied or embellished, the general
character of the music was not lost sight of. Madlle.
Trebelli sang the florid passages which Rosina has
so lavishly bestowed upon this part with brilliant
fluency, and further exhibited her command over
the bravura style by executing with rare skill and
effect some new variations upon the old air, " Sul
margine d'un rio," written expressly for her, we
believe, by Signor Alary, and which were intro-
duced into the "lesson scene." Madlle. Trebelli's
acting, full of vivacity and point, was as successful
as her singing. Signor Zucchini, who made his
debut in England on this occasion as Don Bartolo,
made on the whole a favourable impression, and
seems likely to prove useful to the management.
Signor Bettini acquitted himself satisfactorily as
Almaviva, and the Barbiere of M. Gassier was in
every respect a most admirable performance. After
Rossini's opera, one act of " Lucia di Lammermoor"
was given, its attractive feature being Madlle.
Miens' rendering of the grand scene, the so-called
" mad scene."

Foreign pipers speak favourably of "I 1 Menes-
trello," by Signor do Ferrari, as a charming comic opera
which is making the tour of Italy.
Herr Abert's new opera, "King Enzio," which
has just been represented at Stuttgart, is described as show-
ing a real advance upon his first musical drama, "Anna
von Landskron." Herr Mangold has treated " Abraham"
in the form of an oratorio, which work is to be shortly, if
it has not been already, performed at Ratisbon.
Professor Sterndale Bennett has presented to
M. Sainton the manuscript score of his Ode written for the
opening of the Exhibition, elegantly bound, as an expres-
sion of his sense of the great care and ability with which
Sainton conducted the performance of his work, on the
emergency caused by the refusal of Signor costa.

THAMES, THIS DAY.

THE LAW OF DISTRESS FOR RENT.—A HARD CA.SE.—
Mr. Harry Joseph Wareham, the landlord of the Commer-
cial Stores, a house of public entertainment, No. 7, King's-
place, Commercial-road East, applied to Mr. Woolryoh, for
his advice and assistance under the following circum-
stances :
Mr. Wareham said he rented his house of a Mr. Charles
Steel, auctioneer, broker, and appraiser, of No. 6, King's-
place, who threatened, two days after Lady Day last, that,
if his rent was not paid by the following Saturday, the
29th of March, he would distrain upon him. He paid his
quarter's rent to Steel on Monday, the 31st March. The
witness put in a receipt for LS 175., one quarter's rent, due

31, 1862, On Saturday the ground landlord or landlady,
Miss Bonner, put in a distress for Laln7dlOas.,bhreaklfera

quarter's rent paid
Mr. Woolrych—Was the p revious
to Steel.
Mr. Wareham—Yes, sir; my predecessor Mr. Muschamp
and
paid the quarter's rent due Christmas last to Steel. -
In answer to questions by Mr. Woolrych, the applicant
said that Steel was the lessee of the Commercial Stores
auction room and premises, No. 6, adjoining, and had not
paid any rent to Miss Bonner for a half year.
Mr. Woolrych said it was a very hard case indeed
upon the applicant, who had honourably paid his rent, but
the lessor had a perfect right to distrain under the circum-
stances. The applicant's remedy was against Steel, who
could be sued for damages in one of the superior courts at
Westminster.
Mr. Woolrych—lt is a very hard case upon you indeed—
very much like a fraud on the part of this Charles Steel,
who compelled you to pay your rent six days after quarter
day. There ought not to be an execution
lam sorry 1 cannot assist you. I would advise you to
make your case known at the Bankruptcy Court.

fully explained in J. GROSSMITJTS
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive.
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

On Saturday evening Signor Verdi's "Rigoletto"
was performed for the first time. This opera has
always been a favourite piece at this theatre, chiefly
on account of the excellence of the performance of
Mario, as the Duke. For this character Verdi
has imagined some of his voluptuous melodies,
and Mario warbles them as no one has ever
warbled them before. His rich mellow voice,
which he never mars by overstraining it, has a
charm which the most powerful tenors of the
day, with all their efforts, are unable to reach.
Madame Miolan-Carvalho sang the music of Gilda
elegantly and brilliantly, and Madame Nantier-
Didiee was again Maddalena. Signor Tagliafico,
as Sparafucile, likewise honourably sustained his ,
reputation. Signor Delle Sedie, who personated
Rigoletto for the first time on the London stage,
had the disadvantage of coming after Signor Ron-
coni in one of that eminent artist's very greatest
parts. Signor Delle Sedie sang much of the music
tastefully, and with appropriate expression, but his
entire performance wanted force and colour.

THE PHILHARMONIC CONCERT.—This evening
Herr Davidoff, a violoncellist, from the Conservatoire of
Leipsic, is to make his first appearance in England. Though
young, he has gained a high reputation in Germany ; and
at the rehearsal on Saturday, we understand, his execution
of one of his own concertos showed him to be a performer
of the very highest order.

An abstract has just been published of the condi-
tions under which the lines of French ocean postal services,
contracted for ny the Compagnie Generale Maritime, will
be conducted. From this it appears that the communication
between Fiance and the Brazils is the same as that between
England and the Brazils—viz., once a month. The com-
munication between France and the West Indies, &c., will
be the same as that which now exists between England and
the 'West Indies, &c., viz , twice a month. Between France
and InOia and China the communication will be once a
month, while that between England and India is once a
week, and between England and China once a month.
With New "York the communication from France will be
once a forth ight, while that between England and New
York is once a. week. The annual mileage of the French
servieA3 abovernentioned is 873,024 miles, with a subsidy of

The bill to enable the London Railway Depot and

THE PHILHARMONIC CO'S:CERT.—This evening
Herr Davidoff, a violoncellist, from the Conservatoire of
Leipsic, is to make his first appearance in Einngland. Though
Germany ; and
young, he has gained a high reputation
at the rehearsal on Saturday, we understand, his execution
of one of his own concertos showed him to be a performer
of the very highest order.
An abstract has just been published of the
s
condi-
tions under which the lines of French ocean postal service
contracted for by the Compagnie Generale Maritime, Will
be conducted. From this it appears that the communication
between Ft ante and the Brazils is the same as that between
England and the Brazils—viz., once a month. The com-
munication between France and the West Indies, &c., will
be the same as that which now exists between England and
the West Indies, &c., viz , twice a month. Between France
and India and China the communication rill be once a
month, while that between England and India is once a
week, and between England and China once a month.
'With New York the communication from France will be
once a fortnight, while that between England and New
York is once a week. The annual mileage of the French
service abovementioned is 873,024 miles, with a subsidy of
£656,520. That of the English service abovementioned is
1,898,096, with a subsidy of £669,840. The contract money
paid by the French Government is therefore a little over
ibs. per mile, while that paid by the British Government is
less than 7s. ld. per mile.

METROPOLITAN. CATTLE MARKEI

We were seasonably well supplied with beasts, sheep,
and calves from abroad, in, for the most part, fair condi-
tion. There were some very good Spanish stock amongst
the former. The demand was in a sluggish state, and
prices had a drooping tendency.
The show of English and Scotch beasts was moderately
extensive as to number, and, with very few exceptions,
prime in quality. All breeds meta dull inquiry at a decline
in the quotations, compared with Thursday, of 2d per 81bs.
The best Scots and crosses changed hands at 4s 4d ; but
many beasts of excellent quality realised only 4s 2d, and
4s per 81bs.
From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we
received 2,300 Scots, short horns, and cross es ; from other
parts of England, 550 various breeds; and from Scotland,
534 Scots and crosses. No beasts arrived from Ireland.
Considering the abundance of grass in the pastures the
show of sheep was very large. Nearly all breeds were in
first .rate condition. Downs and half-breds moved off slowly
on rather easier terms; otherwise, the mutton trade was
very dull at a decline in value of 2d per 81bs. The extreme
value of the best Downs was 4s 10d per 81bs.
There was a good supply of lambs in the pens, and the
lamb trade was heavy at 4d to Rd per 81bs less money.
Prices ranged from 6s to 7s 4d per Bibs. About 900 lambs
came to hand from the Isle of Wight, and 150 from Scot-
land.
Calves—the supply of which was only moderate, moved
off slowly at Thursday's currency, viz., from 4s 2d to 54
2d per 81bs.
Prime pigs wore firm in price, but large hogs were very
dull. - -

MEXICAN AFFAIRS.

The following inteiesting letter from the Count
de Reuss to a friend is published in the Morning
Post :

" Orizaba, April 14.

"Inflexible destiny is stronger than the will of man.
Could I have doubted it, what has just occurred here would
have convinced me.

" The triple alliance no longer exists, The soldiers of
the Emperor remain in this country to establish a throne
for the Archduke Maximilian—what madness I—while the
soldiers of England and Spain withdraw from the Mexican
soil.

"You, who are aware of the attachment I have for the
Emperor, and the truly fraternal esteem in which I hold
the brave French and all that relates to thorn, will readily
comprehend the bitterness of my soul when I am obliged to
quit the battle-field and to separate myself from my com-
rades, when the finest dream of my life was to combat for
the same cause as the French, and on the same ground.
"But it was impossible for me to remain without forget-
ting altogether what I am and what I owe to my Queen
and my country. _ _ _

"The truth, after all, is, that the Commissioners of the
Emperor have departed entirely from the Convention of
London, with the determination of acting on their own an-
count only. The pretext was the protection which they in-
sisted on extending to the Mexican emigrants, Almonte
ani the rest, who arrived ac Vera Cruz, avowing that they
came with the fixed plan of destroying the republic, in
order to create a monarchy in favour of the Archduke
Maximilian. Since then, in the Conference of the 10th,
five days before the negotiation with the Mexican Govern-
ment, M. de Saligny declared that he would no longer treat
with the Government of Juarez.

" In the last proces verbal all is clearly expressed—clearly
established—in extenso, as the diplomatists say—and that
document alone will suffice for public opinion to determine
who is right and who is wrong.

" As to myself (a Spaniard) you will readily understand
that I could not support this radical change of the political
system of this country if a prince of the Austrian monarchy
was to be imposed on it.

" The allies came here bound by the Convention of Lon-
don, and we could not depart from it without placing our-
selves in the wrong. I withdraw, then, with my troops,
and go to Havannah, to await the orders of my Govern-
ment.—Yours, &c., "PRIM."

SPORTING NOTES.

The result of the Chester Cup was an agreeable surprise
to the bookmakers, scarcely any of them having written
the winner's name. Had not the Vest colt been tampered
with on the first day, I have no doubt he would have landed
the colours of Mr. Merry successfully. The other events
decided had no effect on the Derby; but fur the Derby of
1863 Mr. Merry has again the first favourite, as little as
20:to 1 being eagerly taken about Escape. York Spring
and Salisbury, two meetings which have within the last
half-dozen years risen to great importance, will this week
occupy the attention of the racing world, the northern
meeting being fixed for Tuesday and Wednesday, and Sa-
lisbury for the two following days, an arrangement which
will permit those who care nothing about night travelling
to visit both. The weights for the Great Northern Handi-
cap were only sufficiently well apportioned to secure the
acceptance of thirty-sevcn of the sixty-six horses entered,
and of these a moiety will scarcely reach the starting post.
Those likely to be enumerated among the runners are—The
Wizard (or Cape Flyaway), Fairwater, Rapparee, Ivanhoff,
Finlande (or Surprise), Doefoot, Zodiac, Joey Jones,
Prince of Denmark, Alan Rufus, Colonel Crockett,
Atropia, Beverley, Caractacus, Carisbrook, Scandal, and
the colt by Barbatus out of Flutter. Whichever—The
Wizard or Cape Flyaway—is selected to represent White-
wall must finish in the front rank, as both ran well over
this course last year, and the former now carries only 51b
more than he won with this time twelvemonths, while Cape
Flyaway puts up only 21b more than he was able to run
into a good third place behind Rising Sun and Lady Tres-
pass for the Ebor, the winner receiving 121 b from him, and
that both The Cape and Sir Joseph Hawley's horse now
stand relatively much the same was proved in the Spring
Meeting by the positions they held in the Rowley Mile
Plate, wherein Cape Flyaway ran a dead heat with Wine
grave, giving him 291 b. Fairwater, I expect, will improve
upon her Chester running. Rapparee and Ivanhoff are
both good horses when wanted; and, if it could be made all
right for the latter, I would not look further for the winner.
Silkstone and Caractacus are the only other horses worthy
of notice, and from the heaps of money the former carried
on the Rhodee she ought to finish in front. The latter, if
he has only recovered from the effects of his severe race
with Elcho and Asteroid at Epsom, can scarcely lose, as the
course will be far more suited for him than that at Chester.
With these remarks, it will be seen that I shall be prepared
to witness
