Very unfavourable accounts still continue to reach us
from the plantations. It is asserted that the growth of
Hops will be very small this year, as the bine is in an ex-
tremely unhealthy state. We, however, do not place
much confidence in these reports, many of which come
from questionable sources. Only a limited business is
doing in Hops here; yet holders refuse to sell, except at
full prices. The duty had been done as low as 80,0001.

GREEN FRUIT.—The market is iiLpressed for
Oranges and Lemons owing to the large an ivals of
several cargoes at one time which had been k,-pt out by
contrary wmds and this combined with a good supply of
home and foreign fre•.h fruits has acted pre-
judicially against prices, 700 boxes Palermo Lemons
and a
.small parcel of Lisbon Oranges per
Pacha steamer were sold at public sale by Keeling and
Hunt, at 2s to 3s per box lower titan last week. Nuts
of all kinds dull or sale. No alteration in Barcelona,
and as the stock in hand will be barely sufficient to last
until the new crop is brought to market, holders are nut
disposed to press sales at the present, figure.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
Donizetti's opera of Lucrezia Borgia (to our thinking
the best of the serious opens of the Maestro) was pro-
duced here last evening with a cast so extraordinary for
its strength as to be positively unique. We gave the
cat entire, as a dramatic curiosity. It is as follows:
Lucrezia Madre?. Parodi.
Maffio Orsini Madlle. Alboni.
Gennaro ..• Sig. Moriani.
Liverotto ▪
g.Bordae.
Vitt-Dem Sig. Birtolini.
Rustighello ... Six. Dui Fiori.
Astolfo... ... Sig. Aruoidi.
Gazelle
•.. Sig. Colette..
Gubetta ••
"'Belletti.
Yeti ucci Sig. F. Lablache.
Alfonso... • Sig. Lablache.
Se long as operas are thus ea- t at her Majesty's Theatre,
it is certain to retain the character e hiker it 'trig since
acquired, of being the first lyrical establishment in
Europe. The Lucrezia of Mademoiselle Parodi is her
greatest charauter as 3 et, and not only is it her greatest
character, but she is by tar the greatest representative
or the part who has as yet appeared. In the part of
Lucrezia Borgia more, perhaps, than in any other part
in the whole range of the drama, do we find dignity and
passion combined, and therefore is it a part more pe-
culiarly suited to the powers of Mademoiselle Parodi.
Both as regards conception and execution her Lucrezia is
perfect; it is cull of passion, but it is the passion of a
queen, of one who has been lung tutored to command
the expression of her feelings, albeit she f, els deeply—
who betrays by a look, hy the play of the features, the
deep confitet that is going un within (as was exhibited
marvellously in tho scene with Alfonso and Gennaro
in the first, or more properly speaking, the second act,
in which Alfonso poisons Gennaro), but not by any
gesture or overt act, until the passion becomes so intense
as to break through all bounds, and teen the
pent-up torrent bursts forth like melted lava,
overwhelming everything in its course, as was the csse
in the last scene, the tar- famed " M'odi ah! m'odi," in
which Gennaro dies poisoned by her, his mother.
Were we to particularise the beauties of her acting in
this character, we should be obliged to follow the example
of Voltaire with regard to Racine, and write at the end
of each scene "beautiful—perfect." She was in excellent
voice, and sung the music deliciously; never have we heard
a feeling of such exquisite tenderness infused into any
composition as she infused into the exquisite " Come e
hello 'in the prologue, and then in the marvellous trio
with Alfonso and Gennaro in the poisoning scene, her
expression of horror and despair was agenisinc,e,
anti all the more intense because it was sub-
dued. Moriani looks thinner than he did when he
was here three years since, but his voice has
recovered completely the delicious sweetness and
expression for which it was so famed in Italy, and in
which on his last visit hero it was somewhat deficient.
His acting was as usual perfect. The dying scene was
one of the most beautiful pieces of acting ever seen.
Alboni was the Orsini, and Lablache the Alfonso—
c'est tout dire en un mot. The fact that Coletti, Beletti,
Bordas, and F. Lablache appeared in the minor parts is
alone sufficient to prove the strength of the cast. In
fact the representation of Lucrezia Borgia last night
came as near to the perfect representation of a perfect
work as ever we can hope to see realised. The princi
pal artists were all called for at the conclusion, and also
several times during the course of the performance.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.
The Matrimonio Segreto was performed lust night—
the speciality of the cast being the personation of Gero-
nitno by Tamburini,,who, in consequence of the acces-
sion of Ronconi from the establishment, now undertakes
it for the first time. The change, we suspect, is cer-
tainly not for the worse. But Tamburini threw a tone
of waspishness and imbecility rather than humour into
the part, and hence the conception had little in common
with that of Litbkche, whose unctions fulness and
spontaneous comicality were thus totally lost. Never-
theless the p, rtormance was in its way excellent, and
had we not have been troubled with a standard of com-
parison, would no doubt have made a sensation. The
opera was strongly fitted, though tin re was no novelty in
the Ehsetta of Grisi and the Carolina of Persiani, both
of whom sang with their best brilliancy, and quarrelled
with the most sprightly acrimony. The trio "Li fscchio
un inchino" was given with all the vivacity of olden
times, and it is superfluou >to praise it now. Mario, as
a matter of course, sustained his well-known part of
Paulin°, delivering the "Fria the epunii" in his
best manner, and consequently gaining the applause
that inevitably belongs to such a Terleet and
winning exhibition of vocal taste and vocal expression.
Madame Angri was the Fidalma, which she made promi-
nent by the graphic fidelity of her acting: her singing,
too, was a valuable contribution to the ensemble, and
cannot be prizdd too highly. She gave the " E vero"
with great spirit, though not with the delicacy and tact
of Alboni. Count Robinson, who was originally destined
to have been embodied by Tawburini, was now tilled by
Tagliafico, who discharged the duties thus um xpectedly
thrown upon him creditably enough, though drollery is
not his torte. The opera was, as a whole, performed
with admirable finish; and the chef d'auvre of Cigna-
rola was never represented more accurately. The
principals came one and all before the curtain at the
close.

The lad act of the Sonnambula followed, in which Mr.
Sims Reeves and Persiani appeared.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.
The tragedy of Strathmore was repeated here last
evening, and watt off if possible better than on the pre-
ceding night. There can be no doubt but
that Strathmore will have a long run, as no
sinister it,flu,nces will be permitted at the
Haymarket to interfere with its success, as was the case
with the Patrician's Daughter on the occasion of its
original production. We are glad to see that Mr. Stuart,
eschewing the provinces, has joined the Hay market corns.
As Hamilton, the Puritan leader, his acting in this new
tragedy is full of energy and vigour, and contributes
not a little to the success of the piece. He seems the
very beau ideal of that stern old covenanter who stopped
the carriage of Archbishop Sharpe, and killed the prelate
not from hate, but from a stern sense of duty, because he
would not "do the Lord's work carelessly." Mr. Stuart
was welcomed back by the audience as an old favourite
should be welcomed back.

THE " HISTORIC TIMES."—The current number of
the Historic Times, published this morning (No. 23),
is of a merit so remarkable in its illustration, that
we cannot do otherwise than direct to it the general
attention of the public. Several cf the engravings
(apparently glyphographic from the clearness of the
" cross hatching") are scarcely unworthy of being
the production of the late gifted and lamented Orrin
Smith. Some of the embellishments, moreover, pre-
sent an additional novelty in the mere printing of
them--being coloured in a sort of neutral tint.
