Very large supplies of Wool were received in the
Port of London last week, viz., 1,209 bales from Port
rhillip, 1,769 ditto from Algoa Bay, 575 ditto from
Bombay, 41 ditto from the Cape, 22 bags from Ham-
burgh, 4 bales from Thisted, 452 bales 1 bag from Port
Beaufort, 2,193 bales from Adelaide, and 4,767 ditto
from Sydney, or a total importation of about 11,000
bales. This is one of the largest quantities ever re-
ceived in one week. The supply of Wool offering in the
private market is not to say extensive, yet the dealers,
owing to the approaching public sales, which will be de-
clared immediately after the late arrivals have been
sorted, have purchased with extreme caution, at almost
nominal currencies.

TALLOW.
Our market has continued in a very depressed state
since Monday last, and prices have declined quite 3d per
cwt. To-day P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted at 38s 6d
Per cwt. For forward delivery, the quotations are no-
minal. Town Tallow, 37s 9d to 38s per cwt net cash.
Rough Fat has fallen to 2s Id per Blbs. Advices from
St. Petersburgh represent the trade heavy.

EX CHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Banco.)
WILLS V. BRIGHT.
The Court granted a rule nisi in this case, in which a
question arose as to the right of the plaintiff, as secretary
to the Neptune Insurance Company, to recover a certain
amount of calls from the defendant as a proprietor in
the same company. A verdict for 1201. was found for
the plaintiff at the trial, and the case turned upon the
construction of a memorial of partnership of a private
Act of Parliament.
No other case of sufficient importance to justify a re
port came on during the morning.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
The May Session was opened this morning before the
Recorder and Aldermen Gibbs and Moon.
The RECORDER delivered his usual address to the
grand jury, and commented upon some of the cases, none
of which are of a very unusual or important natare.
The total number of prisoners waiting their trials was
131, a great proportion of which, as usual, consisted of
petty larcenies, and larcenies from dwelling-houses by
servants. The following are some of the principal
charges;—Uttering counterfeit coin, 8 ; cutting and
Wounding with intent, 6; uttering forged instruments, 2;
stealing letters from the Post-office, 1; manslaughter, 1;
Misdemeanour, 9 ; rape (by a surgeon), 1 ; receiving
stolen goods, 6; sacrilege, 1; &c. The calendar is un-
usually light, which is accounted for by the short period
that has elapsed since the last session.
No cases of consequence were tried during the day.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
Mr. Thomas Birks and Mr. Sidney Montague Harnd-
tan, two well-dressed gentlemen, were placed before Mr.
Bingham, charged with being drunk and creating a dis-
turbance at the Black Horse Tavern, Coventry-street.
Mr. John Wood, the landlord, stated that on Saturday
night, about ten o'clock, the defendants rushed into his
house and inquired who was the landlord. Witness,
who was in the bar at the time, asked them what they
wanted. They replied that they wanted to know the
number of the omnibus that had left at ten o'clock.
Witness said he could not inform them, as he had nothing
to do with the " busses." Seeing that they were much in
liquor, he requested them to leave the house. They refused,
told him to be d—d, and called him a sharp of a landlord.
Witness then went to the door for the purpose of putting
them out, when Mr. Hamilton taxed him with getting
up a row for the purpose of robbing him of his gold pin.
As they caused an obstruction to his business, he sent
for a constable and gave them in charge.
The defendants indignantly denied the charge of in-
toxication, and Hamilton protested that the row was
only a ruse to rob him of his pin, which he lost in the
scuffle. They would call the inspector who took the
charge to prove that they were sober.
Inspector Valentine, C division, on being sworn,
proved that the defendants were very much in liquor.
Mr. BINGHAM said he did not think the defendants
had made out their case as to sobriety, nor did he think
they had shown any reason at all to interrupt com-
plainant in his business. To mark his sense of their con-
duct, he should fine them 20s. each, and hold them to
bail in their own recognizances to keep the peace for
three months.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
On Saturday evening the opera of the Sonnambula
was repeated with Jenny Lind as Amine, and Cal-
zolari as Elvino. Jenny Lind was, if possible,
more astonishing than ever, never has even
she excited so intense a furore as she
did on Saturday; the applause was more than enthu-
siastic—it was a roar of delight and admiration, and
the stage at the close resembled a beautiful parterre,
so many were the roseate offerings made to the
Nightingale. Her Majesty, who was present, fre-
quently applauded in the most marked man-
ner. Calzolari more than redeemed the pro-
mise of his first appearance—never has any tenor
achieved a success so rapid, so triumphant, so de-
served. The Caesar of song, Veni, vidi, vici should be
his motto—ke has sapg twice, and has taken his
rank as the first Italian tenor of the day.
