' One half the world are desolately single, and the ether

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Wounds in the Leg that had
been bad for years, cured by Holloway's Ointment and
pills.—Mr. W. Durling, of Stirkoke by Wick, had
suffered very severely for a long time with deep wounds
in his leg, and in his endeavours to get them healed he
obtained the advice of many eminent surgeons, and
tried almost every remedy, yet all failed to effect a cure,
until he used Holloway's Ointment and Pills ; these in-
valuable medicines alone healed his leg in a fc 4 weeks,
and now it is as sound as ever.—Holloway's Ointment is
a safe and certain cure for old wounds, burns, scalds,
tumours, chilblains, and unnatural swellings.—Sold by
all druggists, and at Professor Holloway's establish-
ment, 244, Strand, London.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY. QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was very
(lull. Sales 3,000 bales, with a decided tendency down-
wards. Railway Shares continued dull, and prices were
again lower.
The new packet-ship London, Captain F. H. llebard,
has arrived if Portsmouth from New York, in oi.zhteen
da3 s, having sailed on the 20th of February. This is
her first voyage. She is 1,200 tons burden. The infor-
mation of this arrival was received at the North and
South American Coffee-house early this morning. It is
said she has a fair freight and some specie on merchants'
account.
.Perhaps the most important feature in the intelligence
that has been received from the continent this morning
is the stated resignation of Prince Metternich, the old,
the talented, and the ever wary diplomatist of Austria,
who has always walked in the highest path of
honour and of fame. And what is the
reason of such a determination in favour of
liberty ? He has discovered that the iron
rule of his Emperor will not now satisfy Lombardy.
This resignation, and under such anomalous circum-
stances as those alleged, must work wonders in every
portion of the civilised globe, where reluctant Em-
perors, or heads of Government, are too prone to
reject the claims of their people for rightful and for
equitable reforms, and for concessions in favour of the
extension of liberality.
There has not been any news of importance received
from the colonies this morning.
The accounts received from Paris this morning give a
rise of Five per Cent. in the French Rentes. Confidence
had very considerably increased. In our Consol Market
there has been an improvement, in the gross, from 60*
to 811. The present value fbr the Account is 81* 4.
Consuls for money have rallied from 80* to 81*, though
now they are a little lower. Exchequer-bills have gone
back to 255. premium. Bank and East India Steck is
now shut, preparatory to the payment of the dividends.
In the Foreign Market the only quotations have been
in the Brazilian Five per Cents. at 77 and 73. The
Portuguese Four per Cents. have fluctuated from 15 to
16 fur the account; the Portuguese Loans ranged from
15 to 16 ; the Spanish Five per Cents. from 11 i to 12;
the Three per Cents. from 224- to 231. The Belgian
Four per Cents. are at 201; and the Dutch Two-and-
a-Halt per Cents, at 411- to 41.
There is a slight rally in the Railway Share Market
this morning.

"Of the enormity of her offence there can be no
doubt, but as to the degree of deliberation displayed
by her in its perpetration, it does appear to us that
her determination does not go so far back as the
iLearned Counsel for the prosecution would have led us
io infer from the letters of the prisoner which were read;
ndeed, the impression on our mind is, that up to the
very hour in which the fatal act was committed her
purpose was not fixed, and that it was that crowning
act of cruelty and indignity of the guilty deceased, in
treating the prisoner with that deliberate and atrocious
contempt, which then drove her to that state of frenzy
and uncontrollable passion in which she committed the
awful crime of murder. We cannot but think, from
the whole of the conduct of the prisoner towards the
deceased, as it appeared from the evidence, that it was
only when she found herself the subject of that deli-
berate cruelty and determined baseness which drove her
to a state of almost madness, that the guilty object of
her abused confidence received at her hands the one
fatal and only act which partook of the nature of
revenge.
" We trust that your Lordship will not understand us
as attempting in any degree to palliate or excuse the in-
dulgence in such feelings of revenge, which must tend
only to the subversion of the law, and to endanger the
public safety; but we do hope that the law can in some
way vindicate itself in a case like the present—a case
almost without a parallel; and, while it spares the guilty
prisoner from the hands of the public executioner, can
show its utter abhorrence of that general and systematic

" We conclude, imploring your Lordship's considera-
tion and intercession on behalf of the unfortunate pri-
soner, and trust that your Lordship will be able to see
a way by which the laws of our country can be vindi-
cated, while the life of this guilty yet deeply injured wo-
man may be spared.
" With every feeling of respect and esteem we have
the honour to remain,

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.
COVENT. GARDEN.
The second season of the Royal Italian Opera at
Covent-Garden commenced last evening. During the
recess the great evil of last season (the location of the
seats in the second amphitheatre) has been removed.
The absurd division into two amphitheatres has been
done away with. The second amphitheatre, in which,
from the back seats, it was impossible to catch a glimpse
of the stage, has been joined to the old gallery, and the
seats have been raised, so as to give to every occupant
of a seat a view of the stage ; we have, in fact, a large
commodious and comfortable gallery, instead of a
small and comfortless gallery, and an amphitheatre
deprived of a view of the stage. This is a great
improvement, and is worthy of all praise. The orchestra
has been increased in strength, and now numbers 86
performers; the increase has principally taken place in
the stringed instruments. The strength of the choruses
has also been increased. The opera chosen for the
opening was the Tancredi of Rossini, the first opera-
seria ever composed by the Maestro, and the opera
which at once secured to him his fame and his position
as the greatest of Italian composers. It was produced
originally at the Theatre of the Fenici, in Venice ; and
the morning after its production Rossini, to quote the words
which Lord Byron, about the same time applied to him-
self, " awoke and found himself famous." The over-
tui e, and the air " Di Tanti Palpiti" have long become
the common places of music, and although since the
secession of Pasta from the stage, the opera has not been
produced (save and except once for Madame Viardot,
who made such en awful failure that we believe she never
attempted to repeat the part), yet the music has always
been popular in the drawing, room—every one who is at
all fond of, or acquainted with, music, knows the opera
almost by heart, and therefore every one is critical,
which, perhaps, is one reason why modern performers
have so seldom achieved a brilliant success in this opera.
The following was the cast last evening:—
Tancredi Mdlle. Alboni.
Orbazzano ... Signor Polonini.
Argirio ... Signor Luigi Mei.
Amenaide ... Madame Persiani.
The overture (who does not know the overture to
Tancredi?) was superbly given by the band, under the
direction of Costa, who, on his appearance in the or-
chestra, was greeted with shouts of applause. Nothing
could exceed the precision and accuracy of the orchestra
which went" as one instrument. The overture, of
course, was encored. The greatest interest had been
excited by the announcement that Alboni was to appear
in Tancredi, and the highest expectations had been formed.
Her reception was most enthusiastic ; but she appeared
evidently labouring under severe indisposition. Even
in her acknowledgment of her reception there was an
appearance of languor. Her voice was as pure, as rich,
as flexible, as ever; and she sang the music beautifully,
but there was an appearance of physical weakness about
her that marred her best efforts. This was evident in
her manner of giving her opening recitative, " Oh Patria
mia care ed ingrate patria," and the "Tu che accendi,"
and "I)i tanti palpiti," which immediately follow, were
so tamely given that they failed to elicit an encore, a cir-
cumstance which perhaps has never before occurred in tho
representation of this opera. She seemed to revive as
the opera proceeded, and gave the duet, " Lasciami
t'ascolto" with Madame Persiani, and the rondo,
" Perche turbar la calms," as she was wont to sing last
season. She was in these pieces herself again, and
there can be no doubt but that when she shall have re-
covered from the illness under which she is evidently
suffering, and from the effect of the terror and alarm
which she must have experienced during her residence
in Paris for the last fortnight, she will be enabled to do
full justice to the character, and her personation of
Tancredi will add another laurel to her
wreath. On this occasion, however, the triumph
of the night was certainly Madame Persiani's,
whose Amenaide was as fresh, as beautiful, and as in-
teresting as ever. Her voice seems to have regained
its former freshness, and there was none of that defective
intonation which has of late years occasionally marred
some of her best efforts. Nothing could exceed the
brilliancy of her fioriture in the "E tu quando tornerai,"
and in the " Qucsto ciel che umile adoro," the exquisite
preghiera in the second act, her efforts were rewarded with
an unanimous encore. In the duet with Alboni, to which
we have alluded above, Madame Persiani was beautiful
exceedingly: their voices harmonised exquisitely, and,
as performed last night, it was, perhaps, the gem of the
opera. The Amenaide of Madame Persiani still con-
tinues to be what it always has been, the best on the
stage. The chorusses were very fine, and the mounting
of the piece was superb, whether as regards
scenery, costumes, or appointments. Signor Polonini
was a painstaking and careful Orbazzano, while
Signor Luigi Mei, the new Argirio, was somewhat
coarse and unpolished. The National Anthem was sung
at the conclusion of the opera, the two first verses being
given by Alboni and Persiani. A new ballet, entitled
Follets, followed. The plot is incomprehensible, but
the scenery is good and the music pretty, and Flora
Fabbri, who is always a favourite with an English audi-
ence, dances some of her most beautiful pas, and is
well supported by Mademoiselle Leopoldine Brussi, of
Vienna, a charm►ng girl and a graceful dancer, and
therefore it succeeds, and i❑ good sooth it deserves
success. The theatre was very well attended in every
part.
