MORNING, MAY

baWireents of the Ministry, all the crises of the majority
were caused by these double•faced and double-voting
Conservatives. They were preparing to play the same part
in the present Legislature; but we congratulate ourselves on
timing nnmasked them. Their intrigue, caught in the fact,
no longer frightens us. We know what they are, and what
they desire; and that is important. The Opposition opens
its arms to them. As for ourselves we will no longer consi-
der as Conservatives the men who believe they characterise
the policy followed during seventeen years by these three
words—' Nothing! nothing ! nothing!' But there will still
remain two very precious things to the new Progressist party
and its chief—the esteem of the National and the praises of
the Augsburg Gazette—praises which everybody can com-
mand who will."
The recent changes in the Ministry are commented
on in all these papers. The Constitutionnel says—
" It will be seen by the royal ordonnances that the retire-
ment of M. Lacave Laplange was not a voluntary one. He
persisted to the last, with a pride which does him honour,
in refusing to give in his resignation. He would not meekly
submit to the insulting want of good faith of his colleagues,
and has openly protested against the odious and pitiable cal-
culation of men, who think to expiate the common fault by
the sacrifice of the person amongst them who was the least
culpable. In compelling the other Ministers to dismiss him,
M. Lacave Laplange has deprived them of the entire benefit
which they hoped to derive from his removal. He has
denounced them aloud as the first authors of the disorders,
the deficit, and the gaspiilage • he has cast upon them the
responsibility which they had imagined they could throw
upon him."
The Constilutionnel then remarks on the men who
have been chosen to fill up the gaps in the Adminis-
tration, after, as it asserts, all others who were ap-
plied to had refused to join the Cabinet :
" We will say nothing of General Trezel, an ultra-Con-
servative from conviction, but personally so respectable that
he disarms criticism. All the rest of the combination still
further weakens instead of strengthening the Ministry. M.
Dumon did will show more character in the Finances than
he did in the department of Public Works. He is capable
of learning what M. Lacave Laplagne already knew; but
for some time to come he will be much less conversant with
such matters than his predecessor was. M. Jayr was a
pretty good Prefect, but he is otherwise of inferior mind.
He had accomplished his political career when be reached
the Prefecture of Lyons, and had even exceeded the point to
which his ambition could justly soar. The choice of M. de
Montebello as Minister of Marine is supremely ridiculous.
We can comprehend that an effort should be made to place
at the head of this department a man who does not belong to
the navy, but he ought to be at least a skilful adminis-
trator. The person chosen is an Ambassador who has ac-
quired some diplomatic experience in little courts, but who
has not been an administrator in any way. It is the history
of the dancer of Figaro. Thus the effect produced by these,
nominations is not to be described. They have been re-
ceived with a universal laugh, except by the most Ministerial
members of the majority, who, however, are discontented
and sad."
All the Opposition journals are equally severe on
the new appointments. The Presse declares that " the
three vacant portfolios were offered from door to door,
but none would accept them, not even the most de-
voted friends, such as M. VITET, which proves that
no great confidence is entertained in the stability of
the Cabinet. It is, in fact, a Cabinet worn out. In
this respect neither M. Guizor nor M. DUCHATEL
entertained any illusions ! They admit that they
have only wished to gain a little time, in hopes that
some favourable circumstances may permit them to
withdraw with dignity, as they might have done
when they experienced the first check."
The Courrier Francais states that the Ministers
have refused to give Admiral MACKAU the command
of the squadron in the South Seas, for which he had
applied.
In the Chamber of Deputies, on Tuesday, M. ODILON
BARROT asked for explanations respecting the recent
Ministerial changes, and M. GUIZOT named Friday as
the day on which he should be at the service of the
Chamber, to answer any questions that might be
proposed to him on the subject. A Bill was brought
in by the Minister of Commerce on Monday extend-
ing the time for the free importation of corn into
France to the 31st of October.
In the sitting of Monday M. CREMIEUX, in moving
his resolution to prevent Deputies from taking part
in public companies, made some slight allusion to the
recent Ministerial changes, but such was the length
and discursiveness of the speaker, that M. DUMON,
the new Finance Minister, was enabled to give them
the go-bye. M. GRAUDIN then attempted ,to elicit
some explanations from the Ministers, but their
friends, to prevent the questions being heard, set up
a loud shouting, and a scene of disgraceful uproar
and confusion ensued, and which was characterised
by the President as most unwarranted and most in-
decent. The Chamber decided to take the proposi-
tion of M. CREMIEUX into consideration.
The Moniteur announces that the importation of
grain and flour into France during the second fort-
night of Aptil amounted to 790,445 hectolitres, or
59,280 tons.
The quantities imported from the first of July,
1846, to the Ist of May, 1847, amounted to 6,695,431
hectolitres.
The Semaphore de Marseilles of the Bth instant
announces the receipt of private letters from Malaga,
brought on the 7th inst. by the Sphynx steamer,
mentioning that the Consul of France in that city
had been informed by the Spanish Governor of
Melilla that ABD-EL-KADER had forwarded to him a
second letter for the French Government, offering to
submit.

of recovery, although to only an unimportant extent.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
(From The Sun of Last Night.)
Tl 4 Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was dull. Sales
4,000 bales, at previous rates.—Railway Shares were a shade
better, but there was still a good deal of heavy stock pressing
for sale.

Accounts have been received from the Cape of Good Hope
dated the 9th of March. Sir Henry Pottinger had held a
levee, and received the inhabitants with great kindliness
and sincerity, assuring them of his determination to use vi-
gorously, and yet prudently, the great power entrusted to
him, and at the same time to endeavour to settle the affairs
of the frontier on a permanent basis. According to the
official returns made up for the year to January 5, the
exports of wool, beef, butter, and various other valuable
productions, had fallen off considerably compared with 1846,
owing to the abandonment of farms and loss of sheep and
cattle during the war.
Under the assumed name of " Tristram Trye," a party has
appeared in the currency field, as an advocate of 14 notes, or
at least of a measure compelling the Bank at all times to keep
a much larger reserve of specie, so as to enable it to continue
its usual accommodation to the public after the export of five
or six millions. The writer's views appear to have attracted
much attention at Liverpool, and are entitled, in many
points, to general consideration. He remarks :
. " The Bank of England holds, we suppose, ten millions of
specie for twenty millions of notes out; she exchanges five
millions of bullion for five millions of notes; she has now,
instead of the proportion of ten millions to twenty, only five
of bullion to fifteen of notes. To adjust this variation in
the proportions of the basis, comes in the enforcing
the true principles of currency' of Mr. S. J. Loyd,
namely, to contract the total circulation of paper, until
the proportions of the original basis are restored. Now it
will be evident that, to render this theory consistent, even
with itself, one thing is required, namely, that a return be
made of the total amount of coin in circulation. You must
know Ibis first—you must know it exactly : and yet the
theorists act without such knowledge, and such fundamental
knowledge appears never by them to have been sought for as
a part of ' the true principle of currency.' If the total circu-
lation of notes were 40, and of specie 20, and 5 of the latter
be exported, it is evident that if the relative value of the paper
to the specie can be sustained only by taking more than five
from the forty, you must take ten. You will then have the
proportion of fifteen of specie to thirty of notes, which is
the same as twenty to forty. This is all plain enough. Let
us try a converse application to the rule. Let us have a
total circulation of eighty in specie to forty in notes
Let five of the specie be exported, reducing the former
to seventy-five against thirty. five in notes. You can
now only restore the original relative value of the paper
circulation, by making the Bank of England re-issue two and
a half of paper! You will then have seventy-five of specie
to thirty-seven and a half of paper—the original proportion.
But to keep the currencies of the same relative value, they
must be kept at all times of the same amount.' Now, ac-
cording to the most authentic estimate (for this is all you can
obtain, and therefore the theorists never can see the
barometer to use it as they pretend), there is in circula-
tion of gold alone sixty to seventy millions. There must
be also twenty to twenty-five millions of silver money. It
is perfectly safe, however, to estimate the two at an average
of eighty millions; and the paper being forty, what is the
consequence in connexion with the rule before us ? That
you can only equalise the specie and paper circulation con-
formably with the rule, after losing five from the former, by
augmenting the paper from forty to seventy-five millions!
We appeal to the senior Wrangler whether this is not sound
logic? Is it not, at least, as reasonable that the Bank cir-
culation should confirm to the bullion standard of the coun-
try, as that the circulation of the latter should conform to the
bullion of the Bank ?"
The English Funds have improved this morning, in con-
sequence partly of the Bank of England having made ar-
rangement for accommodating parties with money at a rea-
sonable rate, upon the deposit of stock. This, while it gives
ease, may prevent sales of Consols. We believe the opera-
tion is connected with the loan of stock made to various par-
ties by the Bank some time since. Consols have been
871/8 %, but are now 87 to 1/8 for transfer, and
for time they have varied from 87% to 871/.

minated cheap bakers, making an advance of one halfpenny
on the 41b. loaf, which is now from 101,id. to I Id. The best
bread sells at Is. Id. per loaf; household, or rye bread,
produces 91/2d. ,
CONTINENTAL COMMUNICATION. The South-
Eastern and Continental Steam-ship Company's vessel the
Queen of the Belgians sailed from Folkestone for Boulogne
on Tuesday evening, at half-past five o'clock, and arrived
again in Folkestone harbour on Wednesday morning, at ten
o'clock, with eighty passengers. The steamer Queen of the
French entered Folkestone on Tuesday evening, and sailed
again for Boulogne yesterday morning at eight o'clock.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

I List evening was a glorious night for Her Majesty's
Theatre. Jenny Lind appeared for the first time as Amina
in La Sonnambula. At an early hour in the afternoon
there were crowds assembled round the doors of the
theatre, and when the doors were opened the crush was
terrific. Not only was every place which coad
command a view of the stage occupied within
ten minutes after the doors were opened, but
every place from which it was possible to catch tho
sound of a note was the subject of keen contest. The
steps leading up to the pit were crowded by ladies before
the curtain rose. The Amina of Jenny Lind is perfect ;
we have seen Malibran, Grisi, and Persiani in this part,
but Jenny Lind is infinitely superior to them all.
Far and away from any of her successors stands
Malibran, but there was an appearance of
effort about her version of the character which is
entirely absent in the Amina of Jenny Lind. To ren-
der this character perfectly, is a most difficult task. It
requires at once the perfection of refinement and of
simplicity. In no character is the ars celare artem
more required than in that of Amine, and never has
that " grace beyond the reach of art" been snatched,
save by Jenny Lind. In the latter scenes, Malibran
was triumphant, but in the earlier scenes she was too
much of the artiste. We missed the simple country girl,
Jenny Lind gave us this to perfection. She was the
very Amina of the author, the simple-minded, honest,
virtuous country girl ; one in whom it was impossible
not to trust. With all former representations of the
part, we have felt for Elvino as the victim
of circumstances ; with Jenny Lind as the
Amina, the spectator feels angry with Elvino
for his want of faith. He should have believed against
appearances, have loved against hope. It was impossible
that she could deceive. But when the girl finds her
plighted faith thrown away—that she is not trusted—
that circumstances are believed against her—then
was her despair heart-rending, yet beautiful—.
beautiful from its agonising truth to nature—
Every one knows the grand scans of Elvino in the last
act, beginning with the "Tutto e sciolto," and increasing
in intensity until the climax is reached in the "Ah !
perche non posso odiarti." This has always hitherto
been considered as appertaining to Elvino alone, but
treated in part as a concert scena to the great
detriment of the effect of the opera, as a whole,
The by-play of Jenny Lind restored this scene to its
proper place as a portion of the opera. Her acting was
superb. Never has the mute agony of despair been
more pathetically represented, and then the last scene was
a perfect triumph. She did not, as her predecessors have
done, slur over the sleep-walking scene to reserve her-
self for the "Ah ! non g'ar ge." Her subdued manner
of giving "L' anello mio " was heart-rending as a piece
of acting, and as a piece of vocalism was one of the
most astonishing efforts ever exhibited. The nightin-
gale-like notes dying away in the distance, which Jenny
Lind, and Jenny Lind alone, can give, here told with
marvellous effect. Her manner of giving
"Ma ravvivar l'amore
Il pianto mio non puo,"
was exquisitely pathetic, and then when she awakes and
finds Elvino restored to her, " Oh ! gioia ! oh ! gioiu
The whole audience felt with her. They were relieved
from a burden of care and sorrow—justice was
done to the injured, and every heart responded
with her "Oh gioia." Then came the finale—the
capo d'opera, "Ah ! non giange"—the trial scena of
every prima donna—and never has this scena been
given as it was given by Jenny Lind. She is
the prima donna of the world. Surpassingly beautiful
was her fioriture, adorning but not overwhelm-
ing the melody. Original, in the highest sense
of the word, as bringing out the true meaning of the
composer, was her reading of this celebrated scena
—(would that Bellini could have livad to have heard
her, he would have acknowledged that the world had at
length produced an artiste worthy of interpret-
ing his highest inspirations) and exquisitely
true to nature, powerful from its very simplicity was
her acting (if acting that can be called which is nature
itself) in this most beautifully pathetic scene. That
the applause was rapturous is needless to record.
To say that she was encored and called for twice
and showered bouquets upon her is also matter of supere-
rogation; but we have also to record, that which Edmund
Kean considered worthy of record as the highest
compliment that could be paid to him, was paid to Jenny
Lind. "The pit actually rose at me, Sir,"
said Edmund Kean, and the boxes, pit, arid gallery,
rose at Jenny Lind, and amidst the waving
of hats and handkerchiefs, and the loud and oft reite-
rated cheers of an upstanding audience, she retired, after
having been twice called before the curtain. We have
now heard Jenny Lind in two operas of two perfectly dif-
fereet schools, and she who is equally great as an interpre-
ter of the German and the Italian schools of music ; she,
who can equally interpret Meyerbeer and Bellini ; she,
who is the greatest Alice and the greatest Amina, who
has ever appeared, may be truly denominated the Prima
Donna of the world. The house was crowded to suffo-
cation in every part.
The Queen, accompanied by his Royal Highness
Prince Albert, and his Serene Highness the Prince of
Leiniegen, honoured the performances with their pre-
sr nce. The Royal suite comprised the Countess of
Charlemont, lion. Miss Stanley, Lord Waterparke,

lency the Turkish Ambassador and Princess Callimaki,
