THE SUN, LONDON,

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.-

The tritimphata run of Fidelio continues, and not
even during the height of the Lind fever was Her Ms-
jesty's Theatre more crowded than it was on Saturday
evening. Every portion of the House lima crammed,
and many were cempelled to leave the theatre before the
commencement of the performances from want of space
for their accommodation. Madlie. Sofie Crusielli was in
superb voice, and the brilliancy of her singing, with the
impaa•ioned tire and exquisite pathos of her acting, ex-
cited her audience to the highest pitch of enthusiasm.
At the conclusion of each act she was called on and
greeted with the most rapturous cheering, while ever
and anon during the course of the p,rformance the de-
light of the audience would burst forth in a hurricane of
p'audits, the genuine and irrepressible expression of a
heartfelt admiration. We regret to learn that the ar-
rangements of the theatre will only permit this opera to
be repeated once more for some weeks, viz., Thursday
next. After the opera Madlle. Marie Taglioni made her
rentrie for the season, in the ballet of the Sylphide, and
never have we observed so marked an improvement in
any artiste in so short a space of time as in
Mademoiselle Taglioni since last season. She
left us a clever dancer ; she returns an ac-
complished artiste. Always a perfect mistress
of the physical requisites of her art, ehe has now
added to beauty, grace, and to power, poetry. She has
adopted the grand" style of art, and proved herself, by
her performance on Saturday, worthy of the name she
bears. The Taglioni style of choerogrephy will not
abate one jot of its majestic grandeur whilst Marie
faglioni remains on the stage. She was greatly ap-
plauded throughout. Her Royal Highness the Duchess
of Kent honoured the performance with her presence.
The suite in attendance upon her Royal Highness con-
sisted of the Baroness de Spetb, Lady Agnes Bruce, and
Lord James Murray. The Count Ocho Stotherf and
the Count Rudolph Stotherf had the honour of accom-
panying her Royal Highness. His Royal Highness the
Duke of Cambridge, attended by Mejer the Hen.
James Macdonald, also honoured the theatre with his
presence. The Queen's box was occupied by the Mar-
chioness of Breadalnane, the Countess of Jersey and
Lady Clementine Where, and party; Amongst the
noble and distinguished individuals also present in the
theatre on this ()cession were the following :—His Grace
the Duke of Wellington and the Marchioness ee Douro,
the Duke and Duchess of Norfolk, his Excellency the
Russian Minister and the Baroness Brunnow, the Duchess
of Roxburghe, his Excellency the Swedish Minister,
the Marquis of Donegal, the Marquis and Marchioness
of Salisbury, Marquis and Marchioness of Aylesbury,

Beyond the nomination at Blston of Mr. Webster for
President, and an accusation by the Secretary of War
against General Talcott of the Or finance Bureau, who
was to be tried by a court-martial, our political and
domestic advises are devoid of interest.

The Washington Republic announces that Sir Henry

The Postmaster-General had made arrangements by
which, after the Ist of July, letters to the West India
Islands, ports in the Gulf of Ilexico, and on the Atlan-

From Toronto we have advices to the 7th. In the
Legislative Assembly on the 6th Mr. Merritt moved an
address to the Queen, praying for the imposition on
American products imported into England of the same
rate of duty that other nations then the United States
pay. The Finance Minister said, "We must depend on
ourselves; and, if we be driven to retaliate, the best plan
would belt() close our canals, conditionally, against Ame-
rican vessels." He proposed to compensate for the loss
of the canal tolls by taking measui es to increase im-
mensely the trade of the St. Lawrence. Every member
who spoke, during a debate of several hours, was in
favour of some forte of retaliation, some propsing dif-
feremial duties in favour of the St. Lawrence, others,
the abolition of Customs, &c. The debate was post-
poned for a fortnight, to await the result of the negotia-
tions with the American Government.

THE AMERICAN MARKETS.
PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 10.

The very short voyage made by the Pacific has bad a
favourable effect on the Cotton market, for as the Pa.-
cific brought no intelligence of a further decline, the
market has been rendered homewh it steadier, though at
a low figure; and this steadiness has produced renewed
sales of about 1 000 biles per day. The fall in eight day s
had been altogether about ie., and the prices now quoted
below are but barely sustained:— _ _

Other
Atlantic. New Orleans. Gulf Ports.
iferior ....... ..... .. nominal. nominal. nominal.

Ordinary low to good•. 6% to 7% 6% to 7% 7 to 7%

Middling fair to fair.. 9 to 9% 9% to 9% 10 to 11
Fully fair to goal fair 10 nominal. nominal.
The general impression prevailing is, that cotton is
now down to its minimum quotation, and the hope of
another slight advance renders holders pretty firm. The
entire sides last weak in New York were about 8,000
bales.

Breadstuffs are quiet. Michigan flour, 3 dolls. 94c. to
4 dolls.; good common State, 4 dolls. to 4 dolls. 6c., and
4 dolls. 50c. for pure Genessee. Southern dull at 4 dolls.
44c. to 4 dolls. 50c. The crops look well. Indian meal
is more active, but not improved in price, sales being
made at 2 dolls. 874 e. to 3 dolls., the latter price for
Jersey. Indian corn a little . down, 56c. to 57c. for
western mixed, and 59c. to 60c. for round yellow. In
ashes the market is a shade better for pots, which are up
to 5 dolls. 06c., while pearls remain at 5 dolls. 50c. The
provision market shows but little doing in pork. Sales
of new mess at 14 dolls. 75e., and old mess at 14 dolls.
25c.; new prime ditto, 12 dolls.; mess beef dull but
abundant, at from 8 dolls. 62c. to 11 dolls.; and 5 dolls.
to 6 dolls. for prime. Lard inactive, and down to sic.
The rice market is slack, at from 3 dolls, to 3 dolls. 56c.
per tierce. Naval stores remain as before, except that
spirits turps are down to 33c. The freight returns of
the past week have been quiet, and they show that to
Liverpool cotton is taken at 3 16 to 7-32; grain, 46c.;
flour end meal, ls. 33..; heavy goods, 12i. 6rl. to 155.;

The most remarkable feature of the day is the very
large amount ot exports of tpecie. Last week these ex-
ports exceeded two and a had; millions of dollars from
New York alone, and it is probable that the outgoings
trom other prts are a (part, r of a million more.
Another tatlure has taken place in New York, that of
a stockbroker, caused, as usual, by over speculation in
mining, railroad, and other ihare,, and having no effect
upon, or relation with, the cotton or other commercial
markets.
