MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

. CORN-EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
During last wet k the receipts of ad articles of grain,
including Flour, of home prtiduce, were triflirg. From
Ireland, Only a few quarters of Malt came to hand, and
from Scotland they were confined to a few cargoes of
Oats. The foreign importations amounted to 12,863
quarters of Wheat, 2,204 ditto of Barley, 6,029 ditto of
Oats, 300 ditto of Rye, 2,490 ditto of Beans, ~269 ditto
of Peas, 8 ditto of Tare:, 2,',93 ditto of Linseed, 21 ditto
of Mustard seed, 4.1-13 sacks, and 8,991 barrels of
Flour. Letters received from the Cootinent to day
state • that the demand for both W heat and Flour
for shipment to England has s;.nlewhat fallen off.
The a 'vices from our own ri isti iets respecting
the appearance of the crops, are satisfactory.
The quantity of English Wheat received fresh up to our
market, this morning, coastwise as well as by laud
carriage and sample, was very small, but of fair average
quality. The show of samples of both red and white
' '4**•S Unusually limited, owing to which, and the in-
Created attendance of both town arid country buyers,
the demand for all descriptions was som.what firm. In
some' few instances, the finest picked qualities of white
sold at a slight improvement in the prices paid on Mon-
clay la.:t; white the value of the middling and in-
ferior kinds was well supported in every instance
Prior to the conclusion of business, a good

SURREY SESSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)

These sc,s-ions commenced this morning, at the Court-
house, Newington causeway, before Thomas Puc
Esq., and a ful bench of magistrates.
Nary Donovan, alias Coleman, aced 40, was indietel
for sti abng, at Cro)don, a shawl, the property of Jesse
Oldfield, the vv. 11 known opponent of Mr. Cotthett.
On the privoner belng p aced in the dock none of the
witnesses were prrsvnt; although the Court waited some
time, neitherthe policeman nor either of the others came

forward.
Mr. PIICKLE slid such conduct could not pass over
without some punishment on the part ot the Court. He
should order the rf cognizlnces ot all the witnesses to be
~streatcd, and some complaint to be made against the
constable. There bring no prosecutor in attendance,
the Court ordered the T:),-soner to be discharged.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
On Saturday evening it seemed as though the Jenny
Lind furore had revived in all its intensity; the crush
the doors gas as terrific and the theatre was as crowded
asever it was on those memorable Jenny Lind nights. The
occasion was one to create a furore--it was the renlree
of Madame Sontag, who, 20 years since—then a mere girl,
many 3-ears the junior of, what Jenny Lind is now—hari
...rested quite as great an excitement on the lyric stage
as Jenny Lind has done since; and who for purity set
voice, correctness of intonation, and brilliancy of exeen-
,ion, stood unrivalled—who was, in fact, the originator
of the school of which Grisi and Persiani, and,
in some respects, even Jenny Lind herself,
can only be considered the disciples. Those who re-
membered S ntag were anxious to observe what effect
time had produced on one of, perhaps, the meat perfect,
but at the same time the most delicate of vocal organiza-
tions while the younger habitues of the opera to.whorn
Sontag had hitherto been merely a myth.
were anxious to ascertain for themselves whether
all that had been said of the marvels of her vocalization
was only exaggeration, or whether she really was that
which her former admirers represented her to be. The
opera chosen tor her rentree was Linda de Charnour.i,
the music of which is admirably enited to
her exquisitely finished style of vocal z 'time
Her reception wes superb, for upwards of five minutes
was the applause renewed, and renewed again until the
debutante, for such we may consider her, was affected to
rears by the cordial greeting with which she was
welcomed back to the seeee of her many former
triumphs. We all remember the story of the
" Sleeping Beauty in the Wood," on whose
appearance. time, after the lapse of a century, produceo
no effect; most assuredly Madame Sontag must be a de-
scendant from this far-famed lady. There she stood on
Saturday, on the same spot on which she had stood 20
years beetre, looking as beautiful, as interesting, aye I
and as young, us when she took her last farewell of the
English musical public.
"I do remember it
As though it were a thing of yesterday."
And on Saturday she appeared as though the Saturday
had been but the morrow of that yesterday—beautiful.
lovely, interesting, the same llenrierte Sontag, who, ii
1828, feecinated all Paine, and all London, and all 13erlin.
But time, which bad not touched the person, might have
revenged himself upon the voice. No such thing; the
voice is even better than it was at the time she quitted
the stage; there is the same purity, the same delicece,
the same flexibility, the same unerring accuracy tat in
ronation (a marvellous qualification to find in a
pure soprano), with greater, much greater
power. Her aria d'intrata at once brought into pl .y
all her marve llous pewyrs of vocalization, and convinced
her old friends and admirers that Henrietta Sontag was
fully able to mAntain, and to add to her former repu-
tation, whilst those who had never heard her were
forced to confess that those praises, which for years they
had been wont to sneer at as exaggerations, were the
mere simple unadorned truth. The utterance of the first
words of the recitation, A tartlet truppo," at once
proved that the voice was as perfect as ever, and that
brilliant execution of the aria which immediately fel-
lows, " Ah Luce di queit' anima," demonstrated that not
only was the instrument as perfect as ever, but
that the command of the performer over it was as
complete, and the production of the effect aimed at as
unerring, as ever it had been. The marvellous execution
of this aria produced a perfect furore; the ap-
plause was he arty (a word which is seldom
applicable to the applause of an aristocratic audience, unit
never was an audience more aristocratic assembh-rl
within the walls of a theatre), and enthusiastic, and
ooirque's innumerable were showered on her. Ate
encore was demanded, but the supplicating look of thr
'artiste, as she came forward to wake her acknowlsdg
eneets, was at once understood, and the encore was
not persisted in. From this moment the ques-
tion was settled. Sontag was Sontag still.
and had she sung nothing more than that one aria, her
fame would have been re-established, and the furore would
have gone en. in the duet with ,Gardoni which imme-
diately follows, the furore increased and the "A cons°.
etrini was re-demanded with a vehemence to which
Sontag—who now herself, the nervousness of her
debut over, fully shared in the enthusiasm she had ex-
cite d, at once gave way, and its repetition brought
down fresh thunders of applause, and fresh showers of
bouquets. At the conclusion of the act she was twice
called before the curtain. The second act of Linda
mattes greater calls upon the histrionic than upon the
vocal powers of the representative of the part, andit was
of old averred by the carpera (albeit we ourselves lvesnevaesr
saw any good reason for the reproach) that Sontag was
cold as an actress. We were therefore curious to see
how she would get through the second act of the opera.
In the earlier scenes she was graceful, gentle,
and ladylike, as might have been expected. At the close,
the interview with her father calls torth all the powers
of the artiste, and here Madame Sontag achieved a most
perfect triumph, making her exquisite solo voce minister
to the heightening t'te effect of the scene in a manner
which none of her predeeessore have dune, or perhaps could
do, seeing that none who have hitherto attempted the
part possess her marvellous sotto voce. The whole scene
with the father was one of the most touching and pa-
thetic pieces of unexteggerated natural acting ever wit-
nessed. We trust that Madame Sontag is des-
tined to give the coup de grace to the
windmill school of acting, which has already re
ceived such severe blows from Jenny Lind and Parodi.
The last act was beautitully rendered; the sudden shudder
which she gives as she becomes revived to consciousness
by the " old familiar tune " was an exquisite touch
ef nature. The finale was one of the most brilliant
and wonderful pieces of execution ever witnessed. Her
fioriture was showered with a lavishness and grace that
only those who heard could imagine. The furore had
reached its height; she was applauded to the echo,
called and recalled, and at length only per-
mitted to leave the stage amidst showers
of bouquets. It is evident that the Sontag
nights will be what the Lind nights were. The opera
was strongly cast. Gardoni was the Carlo, and his rich
and silvery tones mingled deliciously with those of the
Sontag in the duet " A consolartni." Coletti was the Lou-
stalot, and in the malediction scene of the second act was
absolutely terrific in his impassionedness. Mademoiselle
Casolini was the Piettro, anti performed the part care-
fully, and without any pretension, and, therefore, ex-
cellently well. This lady is an excellent musician.

the Government contractors, for the purpose of altering
and loading according to his system. Two experiments
were made wish these s4tells in August last, one from
her Maje.ty's ship the Excellent, at Portsmouth, and
another at Woolwich; when the results proved most sa-
tisfactory, and gave rise to a great deal of discussion in
the military and naval circles. The ensuing experiment,
which is to come off at Portsmouth, is to be upon a very
large scale, and as it is to be the final test of the extra-
ordinary powers of this shell, the result is looked for-
