HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE,

The opera of the Barbiere was repeated in Satur-
day, and Madame Sontag, as Rosins, excited a
greater enthusiasm, if possible, than she did on
Thursday. The " Una voce poco fa," was a perfect
triumph, and excited a complete furore; for delicacy,
for brilliancy, and mere especially for correctness of
intonation, Sontag stands unrivalled ; so far as the
compass of her voice goes, she is the most perfect
yes alist that perhaps the world has ever seen. Rode's
air in the second act also excited the most intense
enthusiasm, the applause was rapturous with which
that most marvellous second variation was greeted.
We do not believe that any human voice is, or
ever has been, capable of surpassing in flexibility,
incorrectness of intonation and in brilliancy of exe-
cution, the voice of Madame Sontag in this most
sparkling of musical gems—it was the acme of bril-
liant and florid vocalization. In the concerted music,
also, she was most admirable ; the duets with Beletti
and with Lablache were not only sung, but acted
with great spirit ; and the concluding scena, in which
Madame Sontag, Lablache, Beletti, and Garden'.
all take part, was given in a manner in which,
as a whole, it could not be riven on the stage of any
lyric theatre in Europe—there was not a single weak
part in it, and its performance elicited the most rap-
turous applause. Madame Sontag, in the Buena
sera scene with Basilio, acted with a delightful
naivete, with the least possible dash of lady-
like coquetry, which was perfectly charming ;
and in toe trio Piano ! piano! with Gardoni and
Beletti, the pure tones of her beautiful bird-like voice
were heard to the greatest perfection. It is one of
the great charms of Madame Sontag's style of acting
that she infuses into every part she represents a lady-
like gracefulness, which, without weakening the force
of the character, adds greatly to its interest. This is
more particularly the case with the part of Rosins.
The Rosina of Madame Sontag is lively, arch, taut
soit pen coquette, yet ladylike withal. The liveliness,
the archness, and the coquetry, are those of a high
bred girl, of one who has a right to look forward to
be a Countess. When Sontag acts the part we are
not surprised at the desire of Count Almaviva
to make Rosina his wife. Gardoni, who seems
to have quite recovered from his recent indisposition,
sang the music of Count Almaviva with great sweet-
ness and expression. Beletti, most spirited of Buffos,
was full of gaiety and spirit as Figaro, and Lablache
as Bartolo was the most superb of Doctors. Great
praise is due to Ballo for his manner of conducting
this opera, and to the orchestra for the effective wag
in which they performed the music of this the most
brilliant of the compositions of Rossini, and
perhaps the only opera buffs in the world
which depends as much upon the orchestra as upon the
singers for its proper interpretation. Nothing could
be better than the performance of the orchestra an
Saturday evening, every nuance of the music was cor-
rectly appreciated, and the lights and shades beauti-
fully brought out. At the conclusion of each act
Madame Sontag and the principal performers were
called and greeted with enthusiastic applause and
showers of bouquets. We do not describe the crowd-
ing before the opening et* the doors, the crush at the
opening, ncr the manner in which the theatre
crammed to suffocation. Tout cela va sans dire. It
was a Sontag night.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN- EXCHANGE—MONDAY.
Our letters received to-day frim .most parts of the
United Kingdom, state that the Wheats aro making very
rapid progress towards maturity. Spring Corn, hoW'
ever, is much in want of rain. Advices iron%
the Continent are to the eEeet that the price;
of Wheat are steadily advancing in France, got'
land, and Belgium. We have letters from New York
to the 4th instant. Th© transactions in Flour for ship'
went to England, were moderately extensive, at from
20s. to 225. 9d. per barrel. Scarcely any English
grain aas received for our market last week,
coastwise or by land carriage. Toe supply of Flour
was small. The imports from abroad amounted to 12,402
quarters of Wheat, 3,825 ditto of Barley, 7,303
ditto of Oats, 2,591 ditto of Rye, 873 ditto
of B2ans, 720 ditto of Peas, 4,834 ditto of Lin-
seed, 148 ditto of Rapeseed, 86 ditto of sundry
seeds, 2.050 sacks and 5,004 barrels of Flour.
The quantity of English Wheat received fresh to UP
this morning's market was larger than for many week;
past, and of excellent quality : hence, the show of saw'
pies of both red and white was good. The stated set'
clement of the Danish question, and the consequent
withdrawal of the blockade from the German corn
uort,., had considerable effect upon the minds of the
buyers, whose attendance was tolerably tumerous•
For some time after the opening of the market, so hag
was the trade, that prices were almest nominal. Even:
tually, the factors gave way, and where sales of English
Wheat took place, the quotations ruled from 15
to, in sonic instances, 2s per quarter lower
than those obtained on Monday last, and at
which a total clearance was not effected.
The quantity of foreign Wheat on show was not very
extensive, but as the future prospect of the imports from
he Baltic are now good from the cause above referred
to, the importers were somewhat anxious sellers. The
demand fur all kinds was in a very inactive state, and
prices gave way from those obtained on this day se'nnigM
fully Is per quarter. Tie transactions for shipment
coastwise were small, and floating cargoes could be had
at Is per quarter less money. With Barley we were
very scantily supplied ; nevertheleis, the demand for
that article fell off materially. In prices, how-
ever, we have no al .oration to notice. The
sale for Malt, the supply of which was small, ruled
heavy, at barely stationary prices. We were very scantily
supplied with Oats. Good sound Corn moved off et
last week's currencies. In the middling and inferior
kinds next to nothing was doing. The few English
Beans on ( ffer sold freely at full prices. Foreign quali"
tics were neglected. In Peas next to nothing was doing,
at late rates. Indian Corn and Meal nominal. In Flour
no charge tonke place. All kinds met a slow inquiry.
