MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Since Monday, the arrivals of English Wheat for our
market, coastwise, have been slightly on the increase. By
land carriage next to nothing has come to hand. Although
the show of samples to-day was limited, the demand for all
descriptions, owing to the large imports of foreign, was
heavy, and to force sales is per quarter less money must
have been accepted by the holders. Nearly 18,000 quarters
of foreign Wheat hare come in, and which had a very de-
pressing effect upon the trade. The finest parcels were
mostly held at full prices, but those of all other qualities had
a downward tendency, with very little business doing. The
show of English Barley was small, that of foreign very ex-
tensive. All kinds moved off slowly at barely late rates.
In Malt, so little was doing that prices were almost nominal.
Oats, the supply of which was on the increase, were very
dull, and the turn lower. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and
Flour, as last advised.

Our market to-day was very moderately supplied with
Beasts, as to number, but their general quality was ex-
ceedingly good. As the attendance of buyers was limited,
and the weather unfavourable to slaughtering, the Beef
trade was in a very sluggish state, at barely Monday's
prices. The show of Foreign Stock was comparatively
small, if we except that of Calves. From Scotland 370
Scots came to hand in excellent condition. The number of
Sheep were on the increase. All kinds move off' slowly at
unaltered currencies. From the Isle of Wight 450 Lambs
came to hand per railway, and the receipts from all other
quarters were seasonably extensive. The Lamb trade was
heavy, at a reduction in value of of 2d per 81bs. Calves
were in good supply, and moderate request, at late figures.
In Pigs next to nothing was doing. Milch Cows sold at
from 151. to 18. 5s each, including the small calf.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
The public, and more especially the musical world,had
long looked forward with the greatest interest and the
most sanguine anticipation to the performance of Lucia
by Jenny Lind. The consequence was, that upon the
occasion of its first performance, last night, the crowd far
exceeded that of any previous occasion. Not only was
the pit filled, at the first rush, to such an overflow that
hundreds were prevented from effecting an entrance, but
ere the overture commenced every bex was tenanted—•
most of them containing double the ordinary number
of occupants. At the commencement of the
opera, some few persons stationed in the stalled
attempted to excite a disturbance, greatly to the detri-
ment of the individual whose cause they pretended
to advocate. If anything had been necessary to add to
the unparalleled en, husiusna that reigned throughout, this
was the single element required for the purpose. The few
dissentients were, however, soon reduced to order by
their neighbours, whilst every imaginable means of testi-
fyine' gratification and approval were spontaneously re-
sorted to by the assembled multitude. 'Throughout the
opera, the boxes and stalls vehemently applauded—the
pit and galleries waved hats and handkerchiefs, whilst
the closely packed mass doomed to the corridors, 064
being enabled to use their hands, cheered lustily at each
opportune moment. To give any adequate re-
port of the general performance at this time
is impossible; but so far as regards the cha-
racter sustained by the great vocalist, we may assert that
we had never before heard the Lucia di Lanunernioor.
It must be witnessed ere the faintest idea can be formed
of its surpassing excellence. The inimitable reading of
Jenny Lind has completely changed the character. In-
deed, we are at a loss whether it be as a musician, 5
songstress, or an actress, that she was admired—her,
mute action sad natural by-play constantly elicited
murmurs of delighted appreciation. As a more Poi'
tive example we will state that the celebrated scene, the
chief ordeal of Lucia—the mad scene—which most /0'
calists have transposed, was sung throughout by Mdlle.
Lind in the original key of F. All other soprani have
been contented to sing the andante and cabaletta.
The following passage is now restored, and was ren-
dered with thrilling effect:—
" Sena i canon augei? Cantan per noi.
Un serto io voglio. Un ammonia celeste
Di, non ascolti? Ah! l'inno
Suona di nozze. E dove
Doe e lo sposo mio?
! si ritrovo alfin; oh! me felice!
Oh! gioia the si setae e non si dice!
Ardon gl' insensi...spleedono
Le soeve fad intornot
Ecco it ministro! Porgimi
La destra oh! like, giorno!
Fine ally morte—fedel m'avrai;
Tradir mievi voti—non mi vedrai
In dolce calma uniti
Ogni piacer pia grato
Mi fia, mi fia con te,
Se quel ch' io provo—fosse un inganno
Gli Angel intessi—potrian tradir."
It may be readily imagined wherefore other singe s°

must no less easily figure to themselves something 0 0
triumph of lyrical art she here reveals. Nothing
be compared to the fluted softness of some notes she
uttered. Others she attacked so suddenly, with suell

truth of intonation, penetration, and power, that .ni
could only compare them to those high chords Pagarlio
was wont to strike, but his had not the human Pees
