EXPORTS.

Cotton Wool—The purchases during the fortnight
amount to 2.850 bales. The prices of nearly all descrip-
tions have fallen 4r. to sr. per candy since the dispatch
of the last steamer, owing to the unfavourable ad vices
to hand by last mail.
Opium—The price of best Malwa has risen to 1,030 r.
to 1,055 r. per chest, but we do not hear of much doing.:
Freights—The rates of the day are, to Liverpool
21. 17s. 6d. for first-class vessels, and 21. 10s. to 21. 15s.
for second class; to London, 21. 10s. per ton; and to
China, 12ir. to 13r. per candy. These rates show an
improvement on those ruling at date of last report.
Exchanges—The present rates on London are—
Credit bills, 2s. 00. to 2s. old.; document bills, 2s. 04d.
six months' sight, and for the former three months' sight
2s. 00.—showing of all in the two first mentioned since
last mail of lid. and lid. Banks' rates have fallen to—
six months' sight, 25.; three months' sight, Is. Hid.;
two months' sight, ls. llid.; 30 days' sight, ls. 11,:c1.;
and sight, Is. 111 d.—these latter being lid. less than
the rates ruling in the end of last month. The scarcity
of paper of all sorts has been much felt by remitters. On
Calcutta the rate is:9Blr. per 100 r., and on China 216 r.
to 217 r. per 100 dolls., 60 days' sight.

EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, APRIL 6.—The Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steamer Oriental, with the Cal-
cutta of the Bth of March, arrived at Suez in
the right of the Ist inst., with 147 pazsongers. The
Indus, with the London Mail of 24th March, arrived
here only yesterday afternoon, and starts on her
re'urn voyage this day. The Austrian steamer
left for Trieste direct yesterday, and took nearly
sixty passengers from India; she arrived here
from Triete direct on the Ist, and brought the new
Governor of Java, his Excellency A. J. Duynraer
van Twist, and suite, who proceeded on the following
day to Cairo, in a special steamer, placed at their dis-
posal by the Viceroy, Abbas Pacha and who will
embark at Suez on board the Oriental, for Ceylon.
The families of Kamil Pacha and Artin Bey, ex-
Prime Minister of Egypt, left last week for Con-
stantinople.
Intelligence has been received from Constantinople
to the effect that Kanee Pacha, the Viceroy's Envoy,
had been well received by the Sultan, and the expla-
nations he had given relative to the present condition
of Egypt had proved satisfactory.
No doubt is entertained here that the works for a
railroad between Cairo and Alexandria will be com-
menced in the course of the present year, an event
which is contemplated with great interest, owing to
the incalculable advantages that a railroad between
the two principal towns of Egypt will confer upon the
country.
His Highness Said Pacha, successor to the Pachalic,
a few days ago gave a grand dinner at his garden on
the canal, to the European Consuls and most of the
European merchants resident here. His Highness,
supported by one of his younger brothers, Haleem
Bey, and his nephew, Ismael Bey, son of the late
Ibrahim Pacha, treated his guests in the most affable
and courteous manner.

On the 29th March, a large party of ladies and
gentlemen, composed of most of the British residents
in Alexandria, repaired to Aboukir Bey, to comme-
morate the 50th anniversary of the landing at that
place of their guest, Mr. Samuel Briggs, merchant,
of Alexandria, who came to Egypt with the British
army under Sir Ralph Abercrombie in 1801.
Trade is brisk, and prices on the rise. The scar-
city of British shipping has been much felt through-
out the winter.

The Government continue their bi-weekly sales by
auction of grain and pulse, and in another week
Abbas Pacha will have paid off all his creditors.

PUNCH'S PLAYHOUSE.

A very agreeable burletta, called The Village Nightin-
gale, was produced last night for the first time. Tho
plot and dialogue are of the past school of farce—the
intricacies of modern farce being completely eschewed.
There is pastoral simplicity dashed with a strong sea-
soning of pastoral artifice—true love and selfishness in
turn playing their parts, but the pure and the true, of
course, win the prize. Jessy Carrel (Miss Nelson) is a
village maiden, surrounded by a bevy of bumpkin ad-
mirers; but she fixes her affection on Stephen Hedge-
away (Mr. Rogers), a blushing swain, who tremblingly
avows his passion; but Jessy is a coquette, and snubs
his love. To ruffle the placid pastorality of the village
there arrives from town Sam Coppibreel (Mr. Craven),
a lawyer's clerk, redolent of the Coal-hole Tavern and
the Casino. His errand is to convey intelligence to
Stephen of his being the heir to a prcperty of
12,0001., bequeathed him by a certain Aunt Ta-
bitha. Miss Julia Snare, a selfish young lady,
with an eye to a comfortable settlement, con-
fesses a violent attachment to the now rich
rustic, who, in revenge for the simulated contempt
of Jessy, proposes marriage, which, of coarse, is readily
I accepted. But the honest love of the heroine and the
still ardent flame of Stephen interpose to stay the impro-
vised marriage, and the violent interference of Toni
Snare, a coast-guard, the young woman's brother, deter-
mines Stephen to break off the match. He seeks the aid
the lawyer's clerk, who assumes the person of the de-
ceased aunt, and she informs them that the report of
herigkath was unfounded, and that her relatives are
never to enjoy a farthing of her property. This decla-
ration at once places the pretensions of the various actors
tlie.ir true positions. Miss Julia Snare and her bro-
thei of the preventive service suddenly ignore Stephen,
ard he delightedly rushes to the arms of Jessy, who of
course receives him with a tender welcome. The Bar-
letta owes its title, The Village .Nightingale, to the vocal
OW% of Mjss Nelson, which,were received with consi-
derable.favouse thisygh the songs are not very germane
to the Vltietetie„. Mr.. Rogers -wised with great truthful-
ness, rind his tofthes of pathos were relieved with dashes
of natural humour. Mr. Norton presented a broad and
slashing portrait of the coast-guard man. The burletta
was quite successful.

JUVENILE CLOTHING
MIDSUMMER HOLIDAYS.

Youth, perhaps, never feels snore joyous thaii when it contemplates
the half-ye rly vacation, unless it be when liokitg forward during
the holidays to new clothei. But how much would the delight be en-
hanced, if, instead of the ceremony of measuring by the family tailor,
and hearing his recommendation 01 th,s, that, and the other fashion
or cut, the p ents would take them where they would see every pre-
vailing style adapted for all ages, and allow them to chose for them-
selves—not that they need be left altogether to select without advice
but their natural guardians would be infinitely better satisfied if they
saw every description of appropriate dress m ode up in the first style
of elegance, instead of being obliged to take a suit when brought
home, made according to the single Idea of one man, for nine times
out of ten, if it IT a lucky chance happens to fit, it does not altoge-
thtr plewe. Now it is desirable that every child at home for his

MRS. KEIVIBLE'S READINGS.

Yesterday Mrs. Kemble read As You Like It, the
most romantic of dramas, reneerine• the peetry, wit, and
wisdom of this delightful play with a subtle appreciation
of its varied power and beauty. The most striking parts
are the most popular. The hackneyed seven ages speech
she gave with a freshness, point, and power we never
heard surpassed; going but little into the mimetic, and
dwelling on the solemn lines, such as—
" That ends this strange eventful history," .
with a force that was deeply felt. The moralising of
Jacques was exquisitely rendered; and, indeed, the whole
of his character was finely intimated. The playful,
witty, loving Rosalind, was in the main sweetly uttered;
but so much of the part is omitted, that it can scarcely
be called a full portrait. The simplicity of the country
people was humouronsly given without any exagwa•

MRS. KEMBLE'S READINGS.

Yesterday Mrs. Kemble read As You Like It, the
most romantic of dramas, rendering the poetry, wit, and
wisdom of this delightful play with a subtle sppr.,ciation
of its varied power and beauty. The most strikii g parts
are the most popular. The hackneyed seven eges speech
she gave with a freshness, point, and power we never
heard surpassed; going but little into the mimetic, and
dwelling on the solemn lines, such as—
" That ends this strange eventful history,"
with a farce that was deeply felt. The moralising of
Jacques was exquisite ly rendered; and, indeed, the whole
of his character was finely intimated. The playtul,
witty, loving Rosalind, was in the main sweetly uttered;
but so much of the part is omitted, that it can scarcely
he called a full portrait. The simplicity of the country
people was humourously given without any exaggers-
.lon. Touchstone, the inimitable clown, was occasion-
ally admirably hit off, but we have never seen his cha-
racter completely exemplified; he is perhaps a character
the type of which is broken, and cannot be restored.
Adam, Orlando, the Duke, and all the serious parts,

WOOD ENGRAVINGS. Cv,ndall and Addey.
Several of the noblest master-pieces of ancient art
have recently been produced as wood-engravings in
a manner that would have amazed even the powers of
Bewick. Among these we must particularise Beech's
" Adoration of the Shepherds" from Rembrandt,
Johnson's "Descent from the Cross," from Rubens,
and Anelay's splendid transcripts from the " Last
Supper," by Leonardo da Vinci, and from the " Holy
Family," of Raphael d'Urbino. The engravers are
respectively Linton, Dalziel, Mason, and Measom ;
while the four plates have been admirably printeny

we cannot call to our recollection any works more

THE JUVENILE SEASON.
June with the Juniors, is a we'come month, ior while our
Universities and other public schools enjoy their own periods of re-
laxation from mental toil, a vacation at this time commences with
the " younger branches," and " meetings and greetings" are ex-
changed with a warmth and sincerity a high would lead us really to
conciude that "absence makes the heart grow fonder" with parents
and children at least.
It is the practice of HYAM and Co., at a time like the present, to
invite the especial attention of parents and guardians to their pre-
parations
for the young.
Time present as, ortment of Hyam and Co.'s juvenile dress is alto-
gether new, and a more beautiful stock of attire it would be impossi-
ble to find.
Hymn and Co. have bestowed the utmost pains on the design of
their juvenile artic es, and an adaptation to the'varions ages of chil-
dren, boys and youths, is admirably effected in the fashions under
cons•dc ration. A becoming pride in the appearance•of the young is
a growing principle with parents and guardians, who will find, on in.
specilon, that llyam and Co. are fully alive to its operation.
The purchase of juvenile dress should be attended with economy,
as should everything else, and parents are assured of the fact, that
cheapness is a ruling principle with llyam an i Co., who make a
large sacrifice of profit without manifesting any deterioration in point
of fashion or quality. Such is a legitimate statement of facts, and al-
though, at this particular season, all arc pretending to sell the cheap-
est and best juvenile attire, it must be evident, on reflection, that an
estabishment of 25 years' standing possesses no small share of cre-
dentials to public faith.
Hyam an Co. repeat that the best juvenile attire, the most novel
and fashionable, as well as the cheapest, is the stock which they have
prepare-I for the Midsummer season of 1851.

Diogenes and his Lantern, which was produced two years

success, was revived, and the applause which it

many new hits relative to the Crystal Palace and other
remarkable features of the present exhibition time.

ENTERTAINMENT TO HER MAJESTY'S

JUDGES.

Yesterday the Sheriffs for the City (Carden and
HodAkinson) entertained her Majesty's Judges, at the
Skinners' Company's Hall, previous to the election of
Sheriffs for the ensuing year, which takes place this day.
Amongst the guests were Mr. Baron Parke, Mr. Jus-
tice Patteson,Mr. Baron Platt, and Mr. Justice Wit-

liams. There were also present Mr. Alderman Thomp-
son, M.P.; Aldermen Hooper, Farncombe, Lawrence,
Salomons, Cubitt, Hunter, Moon, Finnis, Carter, and
Sidney, M.P.; Mr. Masterman, the Recorder, the Town
Clerk. the Common Sergeant, Mr. Commissioner Gur-
ney ; Sergeants Manning, Goulburn, Murphy, M.P.;
Thompson, Jones, Bellasis, and Wallinger ; Messrs.
Clarkson, Billantine, and Huddlestone; the Under-
Sheriffs Law and Ellis, Dr. Vivian; the Revs. Mr. Eng-
lish, Mr. Wrench, and the ordinary of Newgate (Mr.
Davie.); Mr. Catty, Mr. Dakin, &c.
After the usual loyal toasts had been drunk and re-
sponded to, Mr. Sheriff CARDEN proposed "'The health
of her Mtjesty'4Judges," thanks being returned by
Mr. Baron PARKE, who said that he deeply regretted
that the task ha .1 not fallen into abler hands, as until
this very afternoon the Lord Chief Baron bad intended
to be present, and to avail himself of the civic hospi-
tality, and had only been prevented, he understood, by
either just having had, or being about to have, an addi-
tion to his tamily.
This observation created a good deal of merriment
and laughter from all parts of the spacious hall.
The toasts—" The Army ond Navy," " The Sheriffs
for the City," " The Recorder, Common-Sergeant, and
Mr. Commissioner Gurney;" " The Bar," " The Enter-
tainment Committee at Guildhall," " The Skinners'
Company for the use of the Hall," were given and re-
sp,nded to most cordially.
The dinner, which was of the choicest description,
was provided by Messrs. Staples, and Mr. Harker offi-
ciated as toastmaster.

gale, was produced last night fur the first time. The
ot
There is pastoral simplicity dashed with a strong sea-
ipnl caancdi eds
soning of pattor:al artifice—true love and selfishness in
turn playing their parts, but the pure and the true, of
course, win the prize. Jessy Carrol (Miss Nelson) is a
village maiden, surrounded by a bevy of bumpkin ad-
mirers; but she fixes her affection on Stephen Hedge-
away (Mr. Rogers), a blushing swain, wbo tremblingly
avows his passion; but Jessy is a coquette, and snubs
his love. To ruffle the placid pastorality of the village
there arrives from town Sam Coppibreet (Mr. Craven),
a lawyer's clerk, redolent of the Coal-hole Tavern and
the Casino. His errand is to convey intelligence to
Stephen of his being the heir to a property of
12,0001., I:aquilmbed him by a certain Aunt Ta•
bitha. Miss Julia Snare, a selfish young lady,
with an eye to a comfortable settlement, con-
fesses a violent attachment to the now rich
rustic, who, in revenge for the simulated contempt
of Jessy, proposes marriage, which, or course, is readily
accepted. But the honest love of the heroine and the
sail ardent flame of Stephen interpose to stay the impro-
vised marriage, and the violent interference of Tom
Snare, a coast-guard, the young woman's brother. deter-
mines Stephen to break ell the match. He seeks the aid
of the lawyer's clerk, who assumes the person of the de-
ceased aunt, and she informs them that the report of
tier death was unfouean d, and that her relatives are
never to enjoy a farthing of her property. This decla-
ration at once places the preten,iens cf the various actors
in their true positions. Miss Julia Snare and her bro-
ther of the preventive service suddenly ignore Stephen,
and be delightedly rushes to the arms of Jessy. who of
course receives him with a tender welcome. The bur-
letta owes its title, The Vil!age Nightingale, to the vocal
efforts of Miss Nelson, whicu were received with consi-
derable favour, though the songs are nut very germane
to the matter. Mr. Rogers acted with great truthful-
ness, and his touches of pathos were relieved with dashes
of natural humour. Mr. Norton presented a broad and
slashing portrait of the coast-guard man. The burletta
was quite successful.

LATEST PARTICULARS.-(THIS DAY.)

At twelve o'clock today, although the flames had
been long completely got under, there still existed in all
the three warehouses an immense body of smothered
embers, which sent up dense volumes of smoke, and
rendered necessary the continual working of several en-
gine, placed in Montague-close and St. Saviour's-
passage, to restrain it from bursting out into flames.
The floating engines, also, manned by 200 men, were
still at work, throwing torrents of water on the ruins.
All the three warehouses are completely demolished,
and of the warehrme in the occupation of the Messrs.
Wigan and Co., which caught fire last, nothi, g remains
but the four b.ire walls. The corner nearest to the mar-
ket presents a very dangerous appearance; large gaps in
the w,.11s on bctii sides ;.re widening every hour, and
great fears are entertained that before long that comer,
al. least, will tall in. Montague-close in some places is
covered allele deep with hops, smoking with smothered
embers, and in others is flooded with the streams of
water which have been poured cm the buildings.
Next to the extraordinary circumstance of the fire
taking a sudden leap
from ae second to the fourth of
the pile, passing
over entirely Messrs. Allen and An-
derson's premises, the greatest wonder is how St.
Saviour's Church escaped. Biyond having all its win-
dows cracked, and the walls blackened, this ancient pile
has sustained little or no injury.
The unfortunate fireman who s) terribly scorched
at the time when the fismea were first discovered in
Messrs. Wigan's warehouse lies in a very precarious

miraculous how, not only he but the boy of firemen
