Buyers have a slight advantage in making purchases,
and Barbadees at auction realised 38s 6d to 40s for mid
to good yellow, and 40s 6d to 42s for fine. Trininad

COTTON.
—The demand continues good owing
to the backward state of vegetation in the c3untry. A
parcel of Oranges ex Iberia steamer, from Lisbon; 200
boxes ex Sansone, from Palermo ; and 200 boxes
Lemons, ex Argo, from Naples, were sold at public
sale by Keeling and Hunt, at prices equal to
those obtained last week. Lemons have not sus-
tained their price, owing to several parcels from
Palermo having been sent to this market, which
were intended for Germany, but have been shut
out by the blockade existing there. No alteration in
Barcelona Nuts, but an advance in price is likely to take
place. Some cargoes of Lisbon Oranges are daily ex-
pected; and West India Pine Apples are likely to be
received by the mail of the 22d inst.

REMOVAL OF CONVICTS.—(THIS DAT.)—This morn-
ing at an early hour no less than 24 omnibuses, loaded
with convicts from Woolwich, arrived at the Waterloo-
road South Western Railway terminus, for instant trans-
mission to Gosport. It was stated that the cholera has
made its appearance at Woolwich, and hence the re-
moval of the prisoners from their late location.
BRITISH HOMES AND FOREIGN WANDERINGS.—
Much speculation has been created in the fashionable
world by the recent announcement of a new work from
the pen of a lady who has long moved in its gayest
circles. It bears the title of " British Homes and
Foreign Wanderings," and is said to bo the first literary
effort of Lady Lister Kaye. As it is believed to embody
the writer's recollections of English and foreign society,
a good deal of curiosity has been excited as to what
British Homes, and whose Foreign Wanderings have
been pourtrayed. As this can only be ascertained by a
perusal of the work, considerable impatience has been
manifested for its appearance.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A perfect Cure of Dropsy by
Holloway's Pills.—Mrs. Lambert, of Swan-street, Newcastle,
had enjoyed the best of health until the meridian of life, at that
critical period she was attacked with dropsy, attended by a
very troublesome cough. The medical aid of several eminent
practitioners was procured, but their efforts failed to remove or
even abate the rigour of the disease. The water in her body
and legs increased so rapidly that fears were entertained that
the could not long survive. At this crisis she ceramenced
taking Holloway's Pills, which acted so powerfully ori her cora-
plaint that its progress was immediately arrested, and in the
course of two months the cure was complete.—Sold by all
Druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244,
Strand, London.

THE MARQUIS OF WESTMINSTER'S RENT DAT,—
We understand that at the last halt-yearly audit, the
Noble Marquis made a remission of 10 per cent. to the
tenants holding farms under his Lordship.—Chester
Courant.

HER MA
.EARL.
Last night w-e, Jr Majesty's Theatre.
In the first place, ie pt ,ces were for the benefit
of Lablache; in the next place, the opera was the chef-
d'auvre of Cimarosa, the ever-popular, ever-pleasing
Mistrimonio Segretto (the only opera that has ever bad
the honour of an encore as a whole), with a cast almost
new, and, as a whole, certainly stronger than any cut
we have seen of this opera of, Ate years, and,
lastly, a new ballet, the invention of Paul Taglioni,
and supported by the Terpsichorean genius of
Carolina Rosati, the exquisite scenery of Marshall, and
the characteristic music of Pugni. It is needless to add
that the house was crowded, and that the audience con-
sisted of the elite of fashion. With the exception of
Lablache and his son, who were the Geronimo and the
Conte Robinson of the opera, (and whose exuberance of
comic humour, chastened as it is always by good taste,
makes the respective impersonations of these parrs the
most perfect specimens of genuine buffo acting at,cl
ing on the Lyric stage), the cast was entirely new,
Mdlle. Alboni appearing as Fidalma, Mdlle. Parodi as
Carolina, Madame Giuliani as Eiizetta, and Signor Cal-
zolari as Pauline. The Fidalma of Albuui is by far the
best that has ever been seen in our remem-
brance. She has in this chan cti-r done that
which we despaired of ever seeing door; she
has not only equalled, she has surpassed.lialihran, and
we mention the name of Malibran not unadvisedly, be-
cause to compare the Fidalma of Alboni with that of any
of the ladies who have attempted the part since Mali-
bran's time, would be to those ladies an act of unfairness
and injustice. Her making-up was admirable, her sing-
ing was perfection, and her acting lull of humour and
spirit. The Fidalma of Alboni was worthy to be the
sister of the Geronimo of Lablache. Never has the famous
Evero been given with greater comic gusto, and her man-
ner of giving the refrain—
" Ma con un Marito
Via meglio si sta"
was the very perfection of comic acting. Admirable was
she also in the trio with her two nieces; never did old
maiden aunt cry shame 1 with greater energy than
Alboni exclaimed " Vergonia" last night. She was
deliciously fussy. The Carolina of Mademoiselle Parodi
was a beautiful representation, she was in excellent
voice and sung the music deliciously; indeed we have
never heard the exquisite duets between Carolina and
Paolino more tastefully, more expressively, more cor-
rectly given than they were last night by Parodi and
Calzolari, and her acting was beyond all praise, she de-
veloped the character of Carolina completely, embued
it with a pathos to which we have been un-
accustomed, and made of that which has been
hitherto a mere sketch a finished picture; that
genius re fines and dignifies everything it touches.
Her mobile features gave admirable expres-
sion to the various passions by which she is actuated,
and never has the part been so perfectly acted. Her
expression of scorn, as she jeeringly addresses her sister
as Signora Contessa, in the trio to which we have before
alluded, was admirable, it was the very perfection of
sneering. Madame Giuliani looked and acted, and sung
beautifully as Elisetta, and Calzolari has added to his
already high fame by his manner of acting and singing
in Paolmo. We have seldom heard the
" Pria the Spunti" given with such grace, such
refined taste, and such finish as it was
given by Calzolari last evening. The various artistes
were all called for at the conclusion of the first act, and
again at the conclusion of the opera. The new
ballet, La Prima Ballerina, is one of the most de-
lightful at which we have ever assisted. The
curtain rises on an Italian brigand scene, such as Sal-
vator Rosa would have revelled in, and after a dance of
brigands the chaise of La Prima Ballerina arrives (the
details of the plot were published in our num-
ber of yesterday), is stopped, and Carolina Rosati,
the Prima Ballerina, appears in her travelling
dress. In this she executes portions of several popular
pas, such as the Tyrolienne, the Cache e , the Craco-
vienne, &c., and the execution of the pas costumits, in
Mufti (it we may be allowed the expression), by
such an accomplished artiste as Carolina Rosati
produces a novel, but at the same time most pleasing
effect. She then returns, and after a comic scene with
her cameraria (excellently acted by Madill Marra) and
the brigands, La Prima Ballerina appears in stage
costume, and executes a series of her most popular pas,
beginning with the far-famed shawl dance. Thispas, which
was aptly called " Le prestige du talent," was a perfect
triumph for the brilliant Carolina Rosati, who was
quite equal to Fanny Disler in her best days, and
elicited the rapturous applause of the house.
The ballet is admirably put upon the stage; the cos-
tumes are rich and picturesque, and the groupings are
managed with great taste and effect. Moreover, the
ballet is not too long; there is nothing tedious about it,
the attention is kept up throughout. It is the best
ballet that has been produced for many seasons.

IRELAND.
THE COMMISSION.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY EVENING.—The Commission of
Oyer and Terminer was opened this day. The name of
Mr. Gavan Duffy was not on the face of the calendar,
and it appears that an intimation was conveyed to him
to the effect that his presence will not be required during
the sittings of the present Commission. It may be
therefore assumed that the public has heard the last of
the long•celebrated case of " the Queen v. Duffy."
Not a single rumour has transpired for the last two
days with respect to the movements of the State pri-
soners.
