COVENT GARDEN.

The opera of 1 Puritani was repeated here, last even-
ing with the same cast as on Thursday. After the opera
a new Ballet Divertissement was produced, entitled La
Bouquetiere de Venice, for the debut Of Mademoiselle
Fanny Eilsler. It might be as well called by the name
of that deessee de bal danse, for it was a mere vehicle for
introducing Fanny Ellsler to the public. There is no
plot, no story, no change of scene. Fanny Ellsler is
all in all, and right well able is she to be
all in all. She is the same Fanny Easier as
ever. There are the same "twinkling steps, the ssrne
wonderful tours de force,- the same marvellous "toe walk-
leg," but the Divertissement gives her no scope for the
exercise of her peculiar talent. As a mere danseuse she
has many rivals—as a pantomimist she is unequalled,
and we hope soon to see her in a character (and we
emph.lise the word, character to distinguish it from a
part) more worthy of her talents. The house was very
well attended.

BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET, APRIL 30.—The sugar-
market has been dull this week, and the transactions
comparatively unimportant ; but prices are again evi-
dently lower, the determination shown to sell, and the
pressure for money will, it is expected, prevent the
market recovering itself at present, and the dealers,
consequently, buy with caution, and only for their im-
mediate wants.

THE -HARVEST IN EGYET.—We learn from Cairo
that the harvest in Egypt bids fair to be most pr)ductive this
year. If the crops should not be injured by contrary winds,
it is calculated that, at the period of the high waters (about
July), Egypt will be ' able to export 2,000,000 ardebs
(3,"20,000 hectolitres) of different descriptions of grain.
FOREIGN FLOOR.--A vessel has arrived from
Bremen with an entire cargo, consisting of 1,258 barrels of
flour, the production of the Hanseatic district. These
importations of flour from the quarter mentioned did not take
place antecedently to the temporary repeal of the duty
thereon, and the suspension of the navigation laws in regard
to articles of food,
