of the physical requisites of her art, she 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

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.
The first representation this season of Le Prophele,
and the centres of Madame Viardot Garcia, attracted au
overflowing audience to the Royal Italian Opera on Sa-
turday. The Fides of Madame Viardot is one of the
greatest pieces of acting on the lyric stage, and she
proved on Saturday that. she had not abated one jot or
tittle of her power. In the coronation scene the was finer
than ever we have seen her; she seemed to act
more impulsively than was formerly her wont,
to forget her personal identity, to give herself up more
completely to the part, and the consequence was, that we
had an increase of intensity and force with a diminu-
ton of exaggeration, which produced an effect perfectly
sublime. Never have we witnessed any thing more
touchingly pathetic than her rendering of the beautiful
Ab, .non fil6." Mario, who in the early part of the
evening seemed sufferiug from indisposition, warmed
with his part, and gave the superb finale of the second act
end the Bacchanalian sung in the filth with infinite
fire and spirit. He iairly shared with Madame Viardot
the honours of the representation, and was, at the con-
clusion of the opera, called on with her. The cast of
the opera was, with a few unimportaet exceptions, the
same us last year, and it was consequently given with a
completeness that left nothing to be desired. Her Ma.
jetty and Prince Albert honoured the performance whh
their presence. The Queen and the Prince were at-
tended by the Viscountess Canning, the Hon. Miss
Paget, Lord Camoys, General Wemyss, and Colonel
Bouvirie. The Duke of Bedford's box was occupied by
Lord and Lady De Leila:, and Lady Foulis and part>.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
FltENCli PLAYS.
Madlle. Rachel r,peated on Saturday the character of
Camille in Les Boraces, with all the wonderful power,
pathos, and vitality with which she alone has known how
to animate the lifeless forms of the heroines of French
classical tragedy. We still adhere to the opinion which
we expressed in noticing a few days since her perform-
ance of Camille, that taken as a whole it is the most per-
fect and greatest of her delineations of classical tragedy,
and we therefore hope that sue will repeat it at least
once more before she leaves us. The house was crowded.

THE AMERICAN MARKETS.
PHILADELPHEA, JUNE 10.
The very short voyage made by the Pacific bas had a
favourable effect on the Cotton market, for as the Pa-
cific brought no intelligence of a further decline, the
market hat been rendered somewh steadier, though at
a low figure; and this steadiness has produced renewed
sales of about 1 000 bales pr day. The fail in eight da)s
had been altoge:ber about }e., and the prices now quoted
below are but barely sustained:—

The general impression prevailing is, that cotton is
now esswn to its minimum quotation, and the hope of
another slight advance renders holders pretty firm. The

The most remarkable feature of the day is the very
large amount of exports of specie. Last week these ex-
ports exceeded two and a half millions of dollars from
New York alone, and it is probable that the outgoings
from other ports are a quarter of a million more.
Another failure has taken place in New York, that of
a stockbroker, caused, as usual, by over speculation in
minusg, railroad, and other shares, and having no effect
upon, or relation with, the cotton or other commercial
markets.

VIOLENT STORM AT NOrTINGLIAM.-011 Friday
afternoon, at three o'clock, a storm of hail and rain, of un-
usual violence, broke immediately over this town, deluging
the streets, and sweeping everything before it. A great
mass of water accumulated in Upper Parliament-street, and
swept with overpowering force down Sheep-lane into the
market-place, at a time when there was the greatest throng
of business, pots and pans, fruit, vegetables, and other
things, being carried away, and a large stream flowed out of
the market-place down Wheeler-gate, filling the low kit-
chens in its course. The lightning was extremely vivid,
and one flash struck a chimney on the south west corner of
Messrs. Hodgson, Gregory, and Co's. lace factory, Canal-
street, and the electric fluid, passing down the chimney
shaft, set fire to a quantity of cotton fibre. The room was
instantly in a blaze, but it was fortunately discovered by
Mr. Hodgson, and put out in a few minutes. Some of the
hailstones were three or four inches in circumference, and
