ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

The second performance of Meyerbeer's Roberto took
place here last night, when, in consequence of some ne-
cessary excisions, it went off with increased eclat. Taken
as a whole it is certainly a masterly rendering of this
great work. Her Majesty's box was occupied by Lady
Cottenham, the Hon. Misses Pepys and the Hon. Mr.
Pepys. There were also present his Excellency the Sat-
dinian Minister, his Excellency the Portuguese Minister,
Viscountess Torre do Moncorvo, and Baron Torre de
Moncorvo; his Grace the Duke of Devonshire, the Mar-
quis and Marchioness of Ailesbury, the Marchioness of
Westmeath and the Hon. Mrs. Murray, the Earl of Wil-

SADLER'S WELLS THEATRE.
A new and original five act tragedy, frum the pen of
an American gentleman, was produced here a few
evenings ago ; it is entitled Calaynag. The scene
and story of the tragedy are laid in Seville and the
surrounding neighbourhood. It is exquisitely written,
and remarkable for beauty of diction and poetic
thoughts. Mr. Phelps sustained the part of Calaynos—
half Moor, half Venetian—admirably. We have so
often had occasion to eulogise this gentleman's acting,
that now it would be an act of supererogation to do so.
Miss Cooper played the part of the wife of Calaynos
beautifully; her reading was remarkable for its chasteness
and purity of style. Mr. Marston, Mc. Dickinson, and
Mr. Hoskins each acquitted themselves with their usual
excellence. The scenery is beautifully painted ; es-
pecial mention must be made of the exterior of the
castle of Calaynos. The dresses and appointments were
minutely correct. At the fall of the curtain Mr. Phelps
was called for, and received the applause be so justly
merited from a crowded and attentive audience.

Valentine

with
Bartholomew,
the Queen's flower painter, and is distinguished rather
for clever, facetious, and racy dialogue than for any great
originality of plot—that is, the materials aro not quite
new, but they are so well put together that they make an
effective, laughable piece. There is a certain Admiral
Firebrand (Mr. George Cooke), with a maiden sister,
Deborah, of " a certain age," and a niece Caroline. The
aunt is personated by Mrs. Johnson, and the niece by
Miss Viilars. The Admiral wishes his niece to marry
his nephew, an exquisite who rejoices in the euphonius
name of Snipes (Mr. Morland), while, according to stage
precedent, the young lady has already pleased herself in
the selection of Colonel Hunter (Mr. Wheatley) as a
lover, and her soubrette, a damsel called Patience (Miss
Saunders) creates the confusion of the farce by deliver*
iug to the aunt a note sent by the Colonel to the
niece. The antique lady makes an appoint-
ment with her correspondent, who sends his servant,
Oliver (Mr. Herbert) to keep it. The substitute accord-
dingly makes love, but, the Admiral coming in, is thrust
into a chest for concealment. The Admiral, apprehend-
ing a visit from robbers, puts his own servant to watch
for them. This servant, who is afraid of ghosts, takes
his seat on the chest, cut of which Oliver speedily issues,
covered with a white sheet, and escapes, but is taken for
and reported as a spiritual visitor. Meanwhile Mr.
Snipes appears, mistakes his uncle's house for an inn,
and is put into the chest by the handmaiden. The chest,
with its contents, is moved into Aunt Deborah's apart-
ment, where an explanation takes place, which is wound
up by the appearance of Caroline and Hunter, who have
got'married, and. according to dramatic practice,are forth-
. with pardoned. It is but justice to say that the actors
performed their parts remarkably well, and thus contri•
buted to the success of a clever, sprightly trifle.

Great complaints are made at Sunderland of the
want of trade and employment. There is nothing to do
for the working men, and the prospect this year
worse than during the spring for many years past.--.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current, May 15.)
SUGAR.-To-day proceedings in the Raw Sugar
market were of a satisfactory nature, and in some cases
better rates were obtained for Colonial, notwithstanding
the large amount of bag Sugar submitted to public
competition. West India was in excellent demand for
home-trade purposes, and former rates were well kept
up for all sorts. A public sale of 150 hhds Barbadoes
Sugar went at 39s 6d to 41s 6d for mid to good yellow,
and fin* at 42s to 42s 6d.
REFINED.-To-day there was no variation in the value
of Refined Sugar and on the part of home dealers much
desire was shown to do business. The supply is still
small, especially of the lower sorts. For good brown
lumps prices rule at 52s 6d, and for standard lump;
53s 6d. Bonded Crushed Sugar has been dealt in with
caution for former rates.
FOREIGN.-There is firmness on the part of holders of
all sorts of Foreign Sugar. For export the demand
continues to get brisker, and the rates paid are rather
above those current on this day week. Bonded refiners
made purchases with greater freedom, and for home-
trade purposes there is a brisker sale. The private
operations have been a cargo of brown Bahia at 20s, one
at 23s for white, and 19s 6d for brown; also 12,000 bags
Manilla at 21s to 21s 6,1; a cargo of yellow Havannah at
223 6d, and one of white Paraiba at 24s 6d per cwt.
Macnrrans.-This afternoon the quantity of Mau-
ritius Sugar submitted to public sale amounted to 8,631
bags ; the whole sold, and at fully former rates; indeed,
in some cases sorts under 39s per cart realised a small
advance ; good and flue yellow went at 393 61 to 41s,
low to middling 38s to 395, good and fine brown 36e 6d
to 37s 6d, middling to fine grey 38s to 40s, and grainy
39s 6d to 41s per cwt.
EAST INDIA.-This afternoon there were several
public sales of Bengal Sugar, comprising 5,710 bags ;
they went off at full rates, good and fine white Ben:l.es
at 41s 63 to 435, low to good middling 393 63 to 415,
strong ditto 45s 6d to 48s 6d, yellow 41s to 455, low and
middling soft 33s to 35s 6d. Madras, the quantity
offered at auction amounted to 3,676 bags, and the chief
part sold at firm rates :- brown went at from 33s to
34s 6d, yellow 35s to 395, and better sorts 40; to 42s
per cwt.
COFFEE-This afternoon the quantity of Ceylon Coffee
submitted to public sale amounted to 35 casks 1,516 bags.
There was a good demand, and full rates were obtained:
Native, good ordinary went at 33s to 33s 6J, damaged
26s to 31s 6d ; Plantation, fine 655, good 583,
middling 50s to 545, low middling 45s to 495, and fine to
fine fine ordinary 40s 6d to 44s 6d. 20 casks 148 bar-
rels and bags Jamaica went at rather lower rates; good
quality at 61s, low midling 43s to 455, good to fine fine
ordinary 30s to 425, and triage 25s to 30s. 40 bags
Mysore were taken in at 33s for ordinary mixed green.
TEA.-There is no inclination on the part of holders
to accept lower rates for Congou, but the demand is less
active, and only a limited business has been concluded.
The value of urd and good common sound is from
71d to Bid, better sort 93 to is 3d, fine aed Pekoe
flavour is 4d to is 9d. Other sorts of black have been
dealt in with caution, and rather lower rates are ac-
cepted. The market for Green has assumed a quiet as-
pect, and the supply is more plentiful; there are also
sellers upon rather lower terms. For other sorts of
Tea the market has a dull aspect, and prices are on the
decline.
MOLASSES.-There is a fair demand for West India,
and full rates are paid; the supply is also small of all
sorts, and 18s to 22s per cwt is the value of low to fine.
RICE.-To-day the market was more freely supplied
with East India Rice. The public sales comprised 6,772
bags and 3,250 packets; there was a good demand, and
full rates were obtained-Bengal, fine white went at Ils
to 12s, middling and good 9s to lOs 6d, low 8s to 8s 63,
damaged 5s 6d to I Is; Bombay, ord and mid yellowish
white 8s to 8s 9d, damaged 7s 64 to 8a per cwt.
SPICES.-The public sales to-day of 800 bags Pimento
went at firm rates, and realised from 3id to aid for mid
to good, and damaged 31d to 31d; 241 bags Cloves went
at 9d for African; 11 cases Mace, good 2s 43 to 2s sd;
72 cases Calicut Ginger 68s to 70s, and 44 pkgs Jamaica
Ginger 41 to 815 s per cwt.
SPIRITS.-The demand fcr Brandy has been active,
and prices are on the advance. Cognac, best brands of
the vintage of 1845 at 5s 6d to 5s Bd, 1846 ditto 5s 2d
to 53 4d, 1847 ditto 4s 4d to 4s 6d, 1848 ditto 3s 6d to
3s Szl, and inferior Brandy 2s 4d to 3s 4d. Geneva had
has been operated in with caution, and a
desire is shown to sell common at is 9d to is 10d
and fine at 23 3d to 3s 3d; the supply also continues to
get larger, and lower rates are expected to prevail. For
British made Spirit the value is 9s Bd. Gin 8s 3d for 22
per cent under proof, and 10 under at 8s 9d per gallon.
To-day a fair business was concluded in all sot is of Rum;
still no advance in the value took place; there is less
desire on the part of holders to press sales.
COCHINEAL-This afternoon the quantity of Cochi-
neal offered at public sale amounted to 79 bags, a part
only of which sold-Honduras silvers at 3s 9d to 4s sd,
and black 3s 9d to 4s sd.
SALTPETRE.-There are sellers of rough at a further
reduction, yet on the part of shippers or home deal -rs
little desire has been shown to do business, and a fair
amount is on offer. The value of low to fine quality is
from 27s to 29s per cwt. The market for British refined
is quiet, and 32s to 32s 6d is the value. For Nitrate of
Soda the demand is dull at 12s per cwt, and holders are
willing sellers.
TALLow.-Prices have not declined for Itussion on the
spot, still on the part of dealers little desire has been
evinced to operate, and 38s 6d to 39s per cwt is
the value of fine P.Y. Candle. Purchases to a fair extent
have been made fur delivery in the last three
months of the year at 39s to 39s 6d. The mode •
rate rates current for home melted occasions a good
demand at 38e to 38s 6d net cash, hut the supply does
not get smaller. Ot Seuth American 680 pkgs at auction
were for the most part sold at 33s 6d to 40s for low to
good; 200 casks Sydney 34s 61 to 37s 3d; 52 casks
Odessa 363 6d to 38s; 151 casks wrecked P.Y. Candle
34s to 36s 93, and 50 casks Soap Tallow 34e 6d per cwt.
For auction the quantity declared is 800 casks.
Was.-Prices continue to recede for Linseed Oil, and
on the part of home dealers little desire is evinced to
operate; there are also few export buyers. Rapeseed
Oil can be obtained at rather lower rates. Pale 385 and
brown 375. Although Palm has been in good demand,
still a further fall in the value is visible. At auction 130
tuns were sold at 26s 3d to 30i 6d, and very low at 23s
to 23s 3d. At auction 324 cks Cocoa Nut were taken
