MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es-
timated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export, and 1,000 on speculation. The market
closed tirm.—Railway Shares were very flat.
In Pater's Telegraph, a journal published weekly at
Boulogne, the following practical information for tra-
vellers is given.--" Passengers can land at any French
port without passports; but before proceeding to Paris,
or the interior of France, the possession of a passport is
24 14 indispensable. British travellers can obtain passports
for travelling in France, and upon the Continent, from
the British consuls resident at Boulogne, Calais, and
03x other French outports. The British consular passport,
which costs four shillings and sixpence, and which is in
force one year (twelve months), merely requires to be
vise by the police authorities, for which no charge is
made. This passport can be made to include
all the members of a family, and its domes-
[sox tics. Those travellers who obtain from the French
614 consuls resident in England a monthly pass to travel in
% % France, should bear in mind that upon its expiration
they will be required to leave the country or supply
themselves with a regular passport from a British con-
sul. Travellers may also obtain monthly passes upon
application to the authorities at the French passport-
offices. Travellers landing at Boulogne or Calais, and
intending to proceed immediately to Paris, may avoid an
inspection of their baggage till they reach Paris by
ma king a declaration to that effect at the custom-house.
Travellers proceeding through France to Belgium direct
will avoid examination by the French custom-house au-
thorities by making a similar declaration as to their
destination.
"The traveller, upon his arrival at Boulogne, Calais, or
other French port, is not allowed to take any luggage
on eliore with him save a small parcel; but if he arrives
at night ho is allowed his carpet bag. His baggage is
removed to the Customhouse for the purpose of being
'I
dis examined, after which he may clear it himself if he
.
thinks fit, but it is usual to employ a commissioner, who
is entitled to receive for his trouble only that which he
had preiouely agreed for. No traveller can be charged
anything for his luggage beyond the following sums,
which include the expeness of landing, warehou.ing, and
conveying to any part of the town:—
Packages under 10lb Weight . . Of. 7 sous.
9P from lOtb. to cwt.
~ hem car!. to 2 cwt.
front. above 2 cwt lf. 10 „
" Nothing is due tor objects of little weight, such as
walking-sticks, umbrellas, hat-boxes or cases, small
baskets, when they form a portion of other luggage
belonging to the same person or the same family.
Every object or package taken from the warehouse
without being carried home, pays 35c. (7 sous). A
traveller employing a commissioner owes him nothing
beyond these charges but what he may have agreed to
pay him. All complaints and claims are to be addressed
to the agent•general, whose office is on the spot, or by
writing to the President of the Chamber of Commerce.
All articles not being worn, such as wearing apparel,
must be declared at the Custom-house Travellers not
conforming to this regulation, would incur not only the
% confiscation of the articles not declared, but also the pay-
ment of a fine."

The Amsterdam market on the 6th instant was
." quiet for Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at
57 15-16 to 58. Mexican Bonds were well supported.
Spanish had an upward tendency, but closed rather
heavily. Mexican were in request.
The produce markets have ruled heavy this week,
and there is an increased supply of the principal staples
pressed by the importers. The price of cotton has been
steadier, and cochineal has been in request. Rice has
been firmer in consequence of the rise in wheat, &c.
Sugar has not maintained full prices, and coffee has been
decidedly flit.
The transfer-books being closed for some of the Eng-
liah Stocks, they are quoted without the dividend,
Consols being 93 to with the dividend, and upon
special transfer, for money; and 961 to 97 without the
interest, and for the opening in July. Exchequer-bills
have been at 425. to 455. premium, being rather lower.
Bank Stock has been at 211 to 2121. The New
Three-and-as Quarter per Cents. have been at 98-1 to 4.
Cash is temporarily in more request, owing to the share
and foreign settlements.
In the Foreign Market, Spanish Active Bonds have
been 20i ie being dull; Mexican Stock is 34i to I; and
Peruvian, at 88 to 89 for the Five per Cents., and at 42

ARKET NE WS.-(THIS DAY,

- -
CORN EXCHA.NGE.-(FRIDAY.)
The show of English Wheat in to-day's market was
somewhat on the increase, the arrivals since Monday
having amounted to 1,610 quarters; nevertheless, as the
attendance of both town and country buyers was tole-
rably good, the demand for all descriptions ruled steady,
at fully the late advance in the quotations; indeed, in some
instances, the first white real:z ,d a trifling advance.
From abroad 9,020 quarters of Wheat have come to
hand this week. Selected samples moved off readily at
very full prices, and the value of the middling and inferior
kinds was well supported. Numerous offers were received
from Dantzie, and several were closed at rather higher
rates. A very limited quantity of both English and foreign
Barley was brought forward. Most kinds ruled some-
what active, and grinding samples produced is per quar-
ter more money. Malt, the supply of which was mode-
rate, moved off freely at full currencies. We were very
scantily supplied with Oats, for which the inquiry ruled
firm at Gcl to is per quarter more money, and at which
the whole of the supply changed hands. Beans and
Peas were held for more money. Indian Corn and Flour
quite as dear.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
L'Enfant Prodigue, the most rnageiticent and gorge-
ous opera ever produced at the Grand Opera of Paris,.
before which even the world-renowned splendours of
La Juive " pale their iceactual fire"—L'Erfant Pro-
digue, the most original and most remarkable of the
numerous libretti which owe their parentage to M.
Seribe—L'Enfant Prodigue, certainly the; most grand,
and if, perchance, not the very greatest, with one ex-.
ception, the very greatest of the compositions of
Auber, was' produced at Her Majesty's Theatre last
evening in a style of gorgeous magnificence, as regards_
spectacle, of artistic perfection as r
music and acting, end of graceful elegance
and intoxicating fascination as regards
the
ballet, which infinitely surpasses that in which
.s,
it
was put upon the stage at the Grand Opera Opera in P
and which more than maintains the reputation of lice
Majesty's Theatre as the first lyrical establishment in
the world; and what renders the production of this
magnificent opera in this gorgeous style of splendour as
regards the mounting, and of perfection as regard:
lyric and choerographic art more remarkable is, that
has been heralded in by no flourish of trumpe!s• There
rats no pompous announcement in the programme of Its
.
intended production, and albeit the labour of prepa
ration must have extended over veiny mentns
there was not one word uttered to raise the public
ex-
pectation; and when all was prepared it was merely
announced, after the ordinary fashion, that on Thursday
11 Prodigo would be produced. and that Madame 17006
of the Opera Comique, would make her first a ppearaace
in London in the character of Nefte. Madame ligaJB
aa
has long been the reigning favourite at the Opera U?..
mique, and most deservedly so. She is a very pretty
and very fascinating woman, with a hi*, clear soprano
voice, very flexible, and highly cultivated, and vrith a
style of singing that reminds one of Cinti Damoure tu
in her best days. Her execution is wonderful, and her
intonation perfect, and she last night at once secured to
herself a very high position in the estimation. of the.
habitue's. of Her Majesty's Theatre. The following was
the cast of the opera:—Jeftele, Madame Sontag; Isle'.;
Madame Ugalde ; Reuben, Mons. Massol ; Assea:
Signor Gardoni ; Amenofi, Signor Mercuriali ; 34einn
rod, Signor Casanova; Canope, Signor Scotti; Monte'
Signor Scapini; Boccoris, Signor iColletti ;
Mdlle. Caroline Rosati. The plot of the opera
is by this time well known to every PlaYg
for the author of the Drury-lane spectacle has translated
the libretto literally, and the incidents follow m theo
same order; but at Her Majesty's Theatre that In!fi.
outline sketch is filled up into a perfect and magnifi-
cent cent picture. In no opera, perhaps, is the music of so
much importance to the complete understanding of these
plot as in L'Enfant Prodigue ; never has Auber more
completely completely thrown himself into his subject, never lea?:
been more dramatic, Lever has he more artistically To
fused a thorough local colouring into his znesi
never more exquisitely worked in his lightd
and shadows, and more accurately translate
into music, the universal language, the special language
of his libretto, than he has in the present instance. r
overture is excellent, and is in strict keeping with
the serious character of the opera. The opera
opens with a preghiera "Re del Ciel," which was most
8
effectively given by the chorus, and then we
a beauttful aria by Reuben, explaining his concernst
the thoughtless restlessness of Azeele, which wasmag-
nificently sung by Massol. Mussel was the origin",
Reuben in Paris, and we are no longer astonishe
at the furore which his performance excited
among his countrymen. It is impossible to concellc,
,
enythiag more perfect than the Reuben of Mass();
it is one of the most sublime lyrical impersonations eve
presented on the stage. Madame Ugalde, in this act,
made a great hit by the lively manner in which she ren-
dered the delightful aria "L'aurora risplendente," do:
scriptive of the pleasures of Meue;phis,contrastingmostef-
teeti'ely with which was thebsautiful arid pathetic romance
of Jet tele "Aft! va scendo " which was deliciously ren-
dered by Madame Sontag. The departure of the caravan
at the conclusion of this act was very effectively teenaged'
The second and third acts surpass in gorgeous splen-
dour, anything, that has ever been attempted on ell
stage. . 'lne procession of Apis, in the second ant, su."
passes in netanui.cence even the far-famed procession 1.0
the Jewess, and in the lively and expressive choral music
Auber has exceeded all his former marvels. The
dancleg of Carolina Rosati as Lia was the 13:1°1,
graceful and the most fascinating ever seen, and
every one must have felt with Azeele that she was irre-
sistible. The Pas de Poigeards, which followed, was !,
perfect marvel of choerographic excellence ; Ir.";
before has such a brilliant, such an exciting
scene been represented en the stage. In con-
trast with all this reckless gaiety, we bare
the arrival of Reuben, seeking in vain' for his
son, and never has the agony of a heartbroken father
been more truthfully depicted than it was by Massol
in this scene, as he sinks fainting into the arms of his
attendants. The temple of Isis, in the third se,'
is the most magnificent spectacle ever beheld.
The gigantic steps leading from the stage up to an
ceiling at the back, and occupying the whole extent of
the house, the magnificent and gorgeous dresses of the
priests, the elegant voluptuousness, end the graceful
poses of the dancing girls, the brilliancy of the various
contrasting colours of the dresses, the lamps blazing
brilliantly amidst the revellers, and reflected in a thousand
hues from the golden and jewelled goblets, form a spectacle
which sets words at defiance, and which none but the,
m. ost fertile, the most graceful, and the most poetics'
ofimaginations could have conceived. None but those
who have seen it can form any idea of its splendour,
and we may say, as the Spaniards say of Grenada,
" he who has not seen this scene has seen nothing." Co-
lett', as the Priest, was very tine in these two acts;
his duet with Madame Sontag at the end of the third
act was a pet feet gem. In the fourth act we have the
earnel-driving song exquisitely sung by Madame
Ugalde, who in this and an air which immediately fol-
lows it was greatly and most deservedly applauded. In
this acs w e have Azaele's grand scene in the desert, which
was admirably sung and acted by Gardoni, who through-
out acted and sung with great energy and power.
The great feature of the fifth act is the air of
Madame Sontag, which was full of brilliant
fioriture, and which was rapturously applauded.
The music and choruses were admirably rendered.
This is the greatest triumph that Mr. Lumley has yet
achieved. Her Majesty and her suite honoured the
performance with her presence. The house was crowded
to suffocation in every part.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.
Doeizetti's Favorita was revived last night at this
theatre. This opera was one of the triumphs of Mr.
Delafield's management; and it is reproduced under
nearly the same Vocal circumstances as at that period. A
very important strengthening, however, has been be-
stowed upon the part of the King, which is now sustained
by Tamberlik, much to the advancement of the general
effect. Grisi and Mario resumed, of course, their original
characters, and sang with all their wonted power. The
opera, in a word, was played with the greatest excellence,
and with a force and grandeur that could not possibly be
surpassed. The house was crowded. The Queen's box
was occupied by the Earl Caodor, Viscountess Brackley,
and party. Among the fashionable company attending
the theatre were Lis Highness the Prince Deniidoff, his
Excellency the aseish Minister, accompanied by Count
Allred lierentlow Criminil and Chevalier de Raol; the
Marquis of Nertharepton, the Marchese Brancaleone and
Mdlle. Brancaleone, the Earl and Cuunttes of Bessbo-

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.—Yesterday, between
two and three o'clock, as a young man of the name of Powell
(a brother to the call-boy of the Ruby steamer), was crossing
in a small boat from Southampton to Cracknore Hard, on
the opposite shore of the Southampton water, the boat cap-
sized in a squall, and the young fellow was precipitated into
the water and drowned. Several boats subsequently put off,
with creepers to search for the body, but up to 4 r.m. it had
not been recovered.
