HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
Last night was the third of the long Thursdays, and the
first this season of /1 Barbiere. Grisi, who has recovered
completely from her recent indisposition, and was in excel-
lent voice, sung and acted Rosins more delightfully than
ever. Mario looked the Count Almaviva completely, and
sung the music deliciously. Fornasari was as light and active
as a feather in the Barber, and rattled through the part with
the most mercurial spirit; but the part of the night was the
Bartolo of Lablache. Actors and audience were alike COW.
vulsed with laughter. His son, F. Lablache, was the Don
Basilic), and he made Basilio, which has hitherto been re-
carded as a part scarcely worth notice, quite an important
character in the opera. Ilis manner of giving the celebrated
"La Calumnia" was admirable. After I 1 Barbiere we bad a
scene from Linda, with Castellan and the young contralto,
Brambilla, which was very beautifullygiven. In the ballet de-
partment we had a pas de deux by Louise Taglieni andPerrot,
and "La Catania" with Lucille Grahn. The audience, as
Thursday's audiences always are, were hearty and enthusi-
astic in their applause. The house was crowded in every part.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
. TATTERSALL'S—Yam EDAY.
Nearly all the prices quoted on the Chester Cup are nomi-
nal, nothing, to our knowledge, having been done on Best
Bower, Weatherbit, Polish, or Corranna; the betting, in
fact, was very slack, and turned chiefly on Pedometer, Miss
Burns, Magnet, and Inheritress, and in almost every in-
stance at improving prices. Clumsy was backed at 400 to 10
in the early part of the day, and towards the close at 1,000
to 35. Corranna was friendless. A good deal of money was
hedged about Tom Tullock for the Derby, at 5 to 1 and
9 to 2; and at one time he appeared to be an equal favourite
with Sting; subsequent offers, however, gave the latter the
call. Spithead and Tibthorpe were in some request, and
several scores and small sums were laid out on the out-
siders at the odds returned. Brocardo went back to 25 to 1,
and left off, like railway scrip, with a " downward tendency."

BANKRUPTCY COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner FelcE.)
FREDERICK FOX COOPER'S INSOLVENQL,
This insolvent was described as a dramatic author and
shorthand writer. He had been connected 'with various
minor theatres, both town and provincial, and to the failure
of these speculations were attributed his present embarrass-
ments. His debts amounted to 1,625/, and his assets (good
and doubtful) to 7831.
Mr. Sturgeon supported the insolvent, who was opposed by
Mr. Lloyd and Mr. Con, solicitor;,
The ground of objection watS that the insolvent had ap-
plied for relief and had been dismissed, it being proved to the
satisfaction of the Court that he was a trader.
Mr. Commissioner FAEE refused to entertain the insol-
vent's application, at the same time commenting with some
severityen creditors being harassed in this manner by debtors.

THE WEATHER—HARVEST PROSPECTS.
DUBLIN, APRIL 22.—The continued unfavourable state of
the weather for spring sowing gives rise to the most painful
apprehensions for the next harvest. We called attention to
this subject some weeks since ; but there was a brief interval
of dry weather, which for the time dispelled alarm. How-
ever, it has again become cold and wet, and the ground is so
saturated that spring sowing cannot safely
.be proceeded
with. Generally, about the 17th of March this
o on
w,
the
mostimpor-
tant agricultural business is nearly completed. N
If the weather should not speedily change for the better„
more alarmed for the next harvest thus
people will become
22d of April, half the spring sowing is notgone through.
for the difficulties of our present position.
The winter-sown wheats we are happy to say, are looking
well and healthy.
