HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
La Guzza Ladra was reviv ed here last evening, and
Alboni resumed her character of Ninetta. There is no
one at present on the stage who can sing the music of ,
Rossini nearly so wall as does his favourite pupil Marietta
Alboni, and throughout the whole of her repertoire there
are few characters in which she appears to so much
advantage as in that of Ninetta; in Ninetta she fairly
distances all her rivals, and is par excellence the prima ,
donna assoluta. It is impossible to imagine anything
more deliciously exquisite than her manner of rendering r
the far-famed" Di piacer." Never have we heard it t
given with such surpassing richness, such magnificent
power, and such pure taste as it is given by Alboni.
She at once created a furore which lasted the whole even-
ing,
and every succeeding effort was a triumph. Beauti- ,
fully, too, did she act the part of the falsely-
accused peasant girl. Her scene with Fernando
was one of exquisite pathos, touching from its very
simplicity; and in the prison scene and march to the
scaffold, her expression of agony was heart-rending.
She was admirably supported by Madlle. Ida Ber-
trand, whose Pippo is one of the most agreeable repre-
sentations of that character on the stage; and by Coletti,
whose Fernando has lost none of its strong and telling
pathos. The Prefetto of Lablache was as full of droll
wickedness as ever; and the part of Isacco, the pedlar,
was rescued from its usual insignificance by
the artistical acting of Signor Mercuriali.
Gianetto has always been one of the most admirable parts
in Calzolari's repertoire, and ho never sang or acted it
better than last evening. The music was admirably
given by the orchestra, and we have never assisted at a
more perfect representation of La Gazza Ladra.

TAIT.

Turning rather sour in its old age, Tait must needs
fall foul of two very inoffensive personages, the one
for delivering a lecture on Pope, the other for writing
some proses about the Rhine in answer to Becker.
Peregrine writes in a mood essentially cantankerous,
though affectedly well-natured, about the Earl of
Carlisle, and some very petulant reviewer, with- '
out a pseudonym, indulges himself in an on-
slaught upon the Hon. G. S. Smythe, M.P. We
must confess that we have an equal distaste for that
petulance which can see nothing worthy In an ene-
my's effusion, as for that sycophancy which discovers
only sublimities in the babblings of some demented
favourite. Mr. Smythe's verses were nothing as.
toandingly wonderful, it is true, but they were very
fine and very beautiful nevertheless ; and, therefore,
it is rather too bad to see them spitefully depreciated
as mere crambo and balderdash. Such criticism as
this is scarcely befitting the reputation of Tait.
Added to these and several other contributions too
numerous, and some of them too insignificant, to be
particularized, are continuations of " The Working
Man's Way in the World," and of " Craigallan
Castle," together with the conclusion of " A Lay to
the Briefless."

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-(FRIDAY.)
The receipts of English Wheat up to our market this
week, coastwise, have amounted to 2,440 quarters.
Fresh up to-day, those by land-carriage were small;
hence, the show of samples of both red and white
was limited. The attendance of both town and country
buyers was moderate; whilst the demand for all kinds
of Wheat of home produce was in a sluggish state, at
Monday's quotations. Upwards of 13,000 quarters of
foreign Wheat have come fresh to hand. Selected
samples of both red and white were held at fully
last week's quotations. In the low and middling
kinds exceedingly little was doing, yet prices
were mostly supported. The transactions in
floating cargoes off Falmouth were unimportant.
We had rather a large quantity of foreign Barley on
offer, and for which the inquiry was less active, at barely
late rates. Malt—the supply of which was moderate—
ruled dull, but we have no decline to notice in value. An
immense quantity of foreign Oats—the first portion of
the Archangel fleet having arrived—was in the market.
The trade ruled dull, at 6d to is per quarter less money.
Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn, as well as Flour, were a
dull sale.

FRIDAY EVENING, AUGUST 1, 1851

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, July 31.
STOCK-IN-TRADE BILL
(Continued from our Fifth Edition of yesterday.)
The Marquis of SALISBURY expressed a hope
that the Bill to be introduced upon that subject next
session would not be one of a merely temporary
character.
After a few words from Earl GRANVILLE,
The Bill was read a third time and passed.
THE CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL.
The LORD CHANCELLOR having moved the third
reading of this Bill,
The Earl of MALMESBURY said he thought they
would not be treating the other House fairly by sending
down to that House a Bill of that importance, with not
less than ninety clauses, within four or five days of its
close of the session. He believed that their Lordships
would not give assent to a Bill brought before them
under similar circumstances.

The LORD CHANCELLOR expressed a hope that
their Lordships would assent to the Bill, which he
looked upon as one of a very valuable character, and
the merits of which had already baen fully canvassed.
He thought it likely that the other House would adopt
the measure; and he further believed that their Lord-
ships ought to pass it whatever might be its fate else-
where.

The Earl of MALMESBURY said that he thought
her Majesty's Government must have been guilty of
what he should call inexcusable carelessness in not
having brought forward that measure at an earlier
period of the session. Why, he wouldaask, bad it not
been introduced in that House during the first three
months of the session, when their Lordships had had
little or no business eny kind to discharge?
Lord WHARNCLIFFE said that as a member of the
Commission that had inquired into that subject, he could
state that the Bill had not been brought under the con-
sideration of the Government until after the commence-
ment of the session.

The Marquis of SALISBURY said that he thought
hie Noble Friend whe had preceded him had taken
blame to himself, and that if the Commission had been
as diligent as it ought to have been, the Bill could
have been brought before Parliament at an earlier period
of the session. He believed that if the House of Com-
mons were to do their duty to their constituents, they
would not pass the measure during the present session.
The Bill was then read a third time and passed.

EXAWYLE.—At the 6nmencement of the year 1841 a parson aged
thirty took out a Policy for 1,0001., the Annual Payment for which
is 241. Is. Bd.; in 1847 he had paid in Premiums 1601. I ls. Sd. ; but
the profits being 214 per cent, per annum on the sum insured (which
is 221. 10s, per annum for each 1,0001.), he had 1571. 10s. added to the
Policy, almost as much as the Premiums paid.
The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and
only one-half need be paid for the first five years when the In-
sarance is for Life.

Every information afforded on application to the Resident Direc-
tor, No. 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.

The number of persons who entered the building yes-
terday was 57,849, and the receipts at the doors
amounted to 2,8001. 16s.
A serious question has arisen as to the period at
which the Exhibition should close. On the one hand,
exhibitors from Russia and the northern States of Ger-
many are anxious to have the power of removing their
goods after the end of September, as if the Crystal
Palace remains open till the middle or end of October,
the winter frosts will have set in before they can pos-
sibly have them conveyed back to their respective coun-
tries; on the other hand, the French are desirous to
have the final closing delayed as long as is practicable.
They have been late in getting their department
thoroughly arranged, and it is a matter of much
importance to them that the public should have
the fullest opportunity of examining its details. It was
understood that the Commission had a short time ago
fixed upon the 14th or 15th of ()etcher as the proper
period for closing, nor does it seem on the whole desira-
ble that that event should take place at an earlier date,
but some arrangement might be come to by which diffi-
culties might be avoided. For instance, those States
that were anxious to remove their contributions might
have the facilities for so doing afforded to them after the
30th of September, and means might bo adopted for
that purpose without closing the doors of the Crystal
Palace against the public. It is an obvious and un-
deniable hardship upon many of the German
and Russian contributors that they should have their
goods detained until all means for their removal
aro cut off by the winter ice, and every disposition
we are sure exists on the part of the Commission
to meet their wishes and interests. But this question
raises others of great importance, the settlement of which
cannot be long delayed. The vast expense which the
Exhibition has entailed upon exhibitors renders them
naturally anxious to have the means of disposing of
their contributions in the building when the objects for
which they have been displayed are completely satisfied.
Whether such sales can properly take place under the
circumstances is a matter which the Commission must
speedily determine. As far as that body itself is con-
cerned, such an accommodation would be found very
convenient in helping to clear out the interior, but it
seems doubtful whether the hopkeepers of London
I would much relish the idea of flinging suddenly into the
market so large and valuable a quantity 'of foreign
goods. The question is one which permits a good deal

LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING,

however, will be of continual recurrence in private
houses and in private asylums (and in many private
lunatic asylums at this moment there are cases even
more atrocious than this case of LvxmooßE) until a
law shall be enacted prohibiting the incarceration of
persons as lunatics until the institution of some
public preliminary inquiry, and further enacting that
no lunatic shall be incarcerated except in a public
asylum.

CRUEL TREATMENT OF A LUNATIC.

At the Western Circuit on Tuesday John Yeo (out on
bail), a respectable looking farmer, residing at Low
Trenchard, in the Tavistock Union, was indicted for un-
lawfully assaulting Charles Luxmoore, knowing him to
be a destitute person of unsound mind, he having under-
taken the charge of him. There were several other
counts in the indictment varying the charge.
Several witnesses were examined, who stated that
the lunatic Luxmoore had been confined by the defen-
dant, who was his brother-ia-law, in a small cell,
badly lighted and ventilated, and without a fire-place.
When the discovery of the situation of the lunatic was
made the cell was disgustingly filthy, and the unfortunate
creature's legs were confined by a chain. The place of
confinement was seven feet long, five feet broad, and
about nix feet high. He made the following explanatory
statement of the circumstances, and which was given in
ewidance:—

" I am a farmer at Orchard. The lunatic was my
brother-in-law. I have known him twenty years. He
was brought up a blacksmith. He was always weak
in head and strange in conduct, and his mother
told me that he was of weak intellect from child-
hood. About thirteen years ago his parents, thinking
he would otherwise got into some mischief, had the
chain rivetted on his leg, which is now on. I
don't know that it has ever been off since he slipped
it off about seven years ago, when it was put on more
securely. He was in a cell for nine years similar to
that from which he was removed yesterday. About
four years ago I removed him from Germansweek
to Orchard, and he has been treated as before. He
never bad clothes because he would tear them.
About twenty years since his uncle left him
1001., which he soon spent. Sometimes he is violent
and sometimes he is quiet for a long time. He was
dressed yesterday. Four years ago he was dressed to
be removed from Germansweek to Orchard. Ho sang
well in church, and read and wrote well. His parents
have 301. a year, an annuity from lunatic's uncle. Both
his parents are bed-Tiers, the mother having been in bed
for two years, and the father a longer time. They
thought it the parish took charge of him they would
have to pay for it. None of the relations are insane."
The Learned Judge, in summing up, said that a state
of things had been disclosed, in which Ignorance of the
law was the only excuse. There was a principle, of law
which although seemingly hard at first was not so on in-
spection. It was that although a man broke the laws in
ignorance, yet that was no justification of tho offence, he
must pay the penalty.
The jury, atter a short deliberatien, returned a ver-
dict of Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to six
months' imprisonment in the common gaol, the Learned
Judge saying that he would net under the circumstances
subject the prisoner to the ignominy of the House of
Correction.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.'

CORN EXCHANGE-(FRIDAY.)
The receipts of English Wheat up to our market this
week, coastwise, have amounted to 2,440 quarters.
Fresh up to-day, those by land-carriage were small;
hence, the show of samples of both red and white
was limited. The attendance of both town and country
buyers was moderate; whilst the demand for all kinds
of Wheat of home produce was in a sluggish state, at
Monday's quotations. Upwards of 13,000 quarters of
foreign Wheat have come fresh to hand. Selected
samples of both red and white were held at fully
last week's quotations. In the low and middling
kinds exceedingly little was doing, yet prices
were mostly supported. The transactions

floating cargoes off Falmouth were unimportant.
We had rather a large quantity of foreign Barley on
offer, and for which the inquiry was less active, at barely
late rates. Malt—the supply of which was moderate—
ruled dull, but we have no decline to notice in value. An
immense quantity of foreig❑ Oats—the first portion of
the Archangel fleet having arrived—was in the market.
The trade ruled dull, at 6d to is per quarter less money.
Beans, Petti, and Indian Corn, as well as Flour, were a
dull sale.

SMITHFIELD.
To-day's market exhibited a decided increase in the
supply of Beasts, compared with that shown on Friday
last. Owing to the prevailing hot weather, and the thin
attendance of buyers, the Beef trade ruled exceedingly
inactive, at, in some instances, a decline in the quotations
of 2d per Sibs, and a total clearance was not effected.
The numbers of Sheep were seasonably extensive, and of
full average quality. All breeds moved off slowly, at
prices barely equal to those of Monday—the extreme
figure for the best old Downs being 3s 10d per Sibs.
Lambs—the supply of which was large—were a dull
sale, but not cheaper. We had an improved inquiry for
Calves, the value of which had, in some instances, an
upward tendency. Pigs very dull. Mitch Cows, with
their small Calf, were selling at from 141 to 181 each.

" Rigby's Pocket Stove is a curious and valuable invention, which
in an incredibly short period boils a quart of water, or cooks a fowl

one of its members having in his bag or his great-coat pocket one of
Rigby's stoves."—Observer, July 6, 1851.
"Whether economy or speed be taken as the test of its capabili-
ties, it certainly appeared to be the most successful portable stove
which has yet appeared before the public."— Daily News, July 7,

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

The speculation of the "French and American Star
Riders" at this theatre bids fair to be a successful one,
if we may judge from the manner in which the
house was attended last evening. The performances of
some of these riders are very astonishing, but
to our thinking the gem of the whole is the graceful and
elegant manege exercise of Mademoiselle Caroline; and
so think the audience, also, if we may judge from the
rapturous applause with which she is greeted every
evening.
