HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Never since the debut of Cerito has such an effect
been produced by the debut of any danseuses as that
which was produced by the debut of Mademoiselle
Amalia Ferraris, at this theatre, on Saturday even-
ing. Cosier-like, she came, she was seen, and con-
quered. At eight o'clock on Saturday all that was known
of her was that it appeared by the bills that Mdlle.
Amalia Ferraris was to make her first appearance
in a divertissement and dance a pas de
deux with M. Charles, and at 10 o'clock she
had established herself, by the unanimous verdict
of the habitues of her Majesty's Theatre, as
par excellence the queen of the dance, and this on the
scene of the triumphs of the elder Taglioni, of Fanny
Elsler, of Cerito, of Lucille Grahn, of Carlotta
Grisi, of Rosati. Mademoiselle Amalia Ferraris
possesses every physical requisite for a deesse de /a
danse. Her features are beautiful and expressive,
and her dark and lustrous eyes are full of fascination
—her figure is perfect and exquisitely developed,
and her poses are full of grace and abandon.. She is
perfect mistress of her art, and unites to the poetic
graces of a Taglioni the glittering execution of
a Fanny Elsler and the abandon of a Cerito.
Her aplomb is " wonderful, and she made all her
.‘ points" with an ease and a steadiness that excited
the most intense admiration. Not the least pleasing
part of her performance was the graceful ease with
which she managed the transition from the spiritual
and majestic grace of the classical school of the
Taglioni to the abandon, the revolving pas of the
Cerito, and from this again to the glittering won-
ful little steps of the Fanny Eisler. As a danseuse
she is perfect; we have none, we have had none, who,
like Mademoiselle Amalia Ferraris, has seized upon the
beauties of such opposite schools, and made them
all her own, combining them with a style
in which the animation of the realist school is in-
fused and inspired by the majestic and graceful in-
spiration of the idealist. Her reception was at first
rather cold, but she had scarcely commenced her pas
before she warmed her audience into enthusiasm ;
throughout her performance she was greeted with
repeated bursts of the most rapturous applause, and
at its conclusion she was called forward and honoured
with a complete ovation. Mademoiselle Amalia
Ferraris is, we understand, from the Royal Opera
at Piedmont, and the thanks of every lover
of ballet are due to Mr. Lumley for having discerned
and secured her services for her Majesty's Theatre.
The opera was Ernani, in which Mr. Sims Reeves
and Parodi again produced a perfect furore by their
impassioned performance in the finale, and were at
the conclusion called before the curtain to receive the
well-merited reward of their exertions. The ballet
was Les Metamorphoses, in which Carlotta Grisi was
as espiegle and as graceful as ever. There were pre-
sent his Grace the Duke of Wellington, the Duke
and Duchess of Montrose, the Duke and Duchess of
Leeds, and Miss Elizabeth Lane Fox, his Excellency
the Russian Minister, Baroness de Brunnow, and
Madlle. o:ga de Lechner, his Excellency the Swedish
Minister and the Baroness Rehausen, M. de Berg,
the Count de Barke, the Marquis and Marchioness
of Salisbury, the Marquis of Donegal, the Mar.

SIGNOR GARDONI.
TO 7'HE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

beg leave to state that there is no truth in
the article from the Zifoniteur du Soir, reporting the
deathofSi I
Signor Gardoni, and
me a long letter fromd copied into the Sun
of Saturday.
St. Petersburgh, written by Signor Gardoni on the
11th, and posted on the 12th of March ; therefore
posterior to the date of his alleged decease. In this
letter I find the following passage, which shows that
there have not even existed plausible grounds for this
malicious rumour :—" As regards my health, I have
only one thing to observe, that except one night in
October, on my first arrival here, I have al ways been
able to respond to all the demands of the management,
which have not been few, having successfully sung in
Puritani, Beatrice, Norma, Elisir, Conte Ory, Linda,
Giovanna d'Arco, Roberto it Diavolo, Orazii e CUrj•
aZil, &c."

I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,

Ma. BUNN ON TIM STAGO.—The highly instruc-

live, amusing, and intellectual entertainment, lately
given by Mr. Bunn, at the St. James's Theatre, closed
on Saturday night last with the most brilliant Eclat,
when Mr. Bunn delivered the following farewell address
to; a highly fashionable audience, amongst whom we
perceived several distinguished members of the
literary world : " Ladies and gentlemen, —lt
would .be the height of ingratitude were I to suffer
this evening to pass over without acknowledging the
heavy obligations your kindness has imposed upon me.
You have given ri? throughout my undertaking a recep-
tion rarely allotted to performers of the highest standing,
by virtue of which I have received provincial offers, I
am now going to carry out in every part of the empire;
and I will trespass on yon no further than to say, that
when I cease to remember this I hope you will cease to
remember me." At the conclusion of this appropriate
speech Mr. Bunn was recalled before the curtain by
the unanimous greetings and applause of his delighted
auditory, when a classic wreath (to which was appended
a card, on which something was written) was thrown to
him, when a fresh salvo of applause burst from all parts
of the house.

The Europa, Captain Gott, sailed from Liverpool
OD Saturday for Halifax and New York,

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, on Saturday, were
estimated at 5,000 bales, of which 800 American were
taken for export, and 500 on speculation. The market
closed heavily at previous rates.—Railway Shares conti-
nued very dull, without any material alteration in value.
In the Grain Market to-day wheat has moved off
freely, at full prices.
The following are pertions of a statement upon the
dried fruit trade, furnished us by Messrs. Witherby and
Hanson:—
" We have no alteration in the currant market to
notice since our last report; its characteristic has been
one of perfect monotony; only two cargoes received;
the sales of an unusually contracted extent for the season,
and, with some fee- exceptions, limited to second-hand
parcels. Importers may almost be said to be out of the
market, by reason of their high pretensions, caused by
the continued advance of price at the several places of
growth, by the fact of our stock being about one-third
less than that of March 1849, and of the quantity to
arrive here during the remainder of the season, not being
likely much to exceed our reqeiretnents, if our cl, arances
equal those of last season during the corresponding
period.
" We ha I hoped to announce this month an increase
in our clearances for home consumption, to make up in
part for the falling off which we noticed in our last
report, but we find from the 19th ult. to the 15th inst.
they have not exceeded 300 tons against 605 tons during
the like period of 1849. and against 420 tons, 635 tons,
and 390 tons in 1848, 1847, and 1846 respectively. At
Liverpool, on tee contrary, they exhibit a decided im-
provement, having reached during the four weeks
ending 12th inst. 395 tons, against 285 and
304 tons during the corresponding weeks of
1849 and 1848 respectively. The clearances at
this port during the last three months of 1848 and 1849
were alike, sly about 4,680 tens respectively; but from.
the Ist January to the 28th February of this year they
have fallen off to the extent of about 750 tons, having
been 820 tons in 1850 against 1,570 tons in 1849. At
Liverpool there was an unexpected decrease during the
last three mouths of 1849, of about 240 tons, but an in- '
crease of about 85 tons from Ist January to 28th Fe-
bruary, 1850, making an aggregate comparative falling '
off since Ist October of about 150 tons."
The prevalence of contrary winds still keeps out a
large number of arrivals, but the dates brought by the
sailing vessels will generally be old, as the steamers oc-
casionally dropping in furnish an outline of the news.
The Thames steamer, with the West Indian and
Mexican mails is hourly expected. When the homeward-
bound fleet arrives, there will be an immense addition to
the quantity of produce held here, and the effect on
prices may be correspondingly prejudicial, though it is
probable that fair allowance has already been made for
this, otherwise we should for some time past have had
greater buoyancy.
The arrivals from the Continent are exceedingly
limited, and there is no very prominent political intelli-
gence. No one, however, who takes an interest in the
affairs of foreign countries can fail to regard with solici-
tude tke condition of French finances, elucidated as this
occasionally is by the reports of the Ministers for the
time being, or of the Committees. The latest state-
ment concerns the budget of receipts for 1850, and the
necessity of equalising expenditure and income is very
properly admitted, but, as far as we can ascertain, by no
means acted upon. The savings proposed amount but
to 84,000,000 francs, off a gross sum of 11,408,000,000 f.,
326,000,0001, being for the interest of the debt. At a time
when the revenue is admitted to be only 1,251,523,967 f., no
arrangement is made for wholesale retrenchment, and the
aalt duties alone have entailed a loss of forty-one million
of franca. We should be glad if we could believe that
the total deficiency of income compared with the ex-
penditure for 1850 would be under fifty millions, but
there appear to be such constant changes in the financial
plans of the State, and there is such frequent recourse
to extraordinary votes, that we cannot indulge any con-
fident expectations.
Business in the English Stock Market has been very
inactive again, and prices have undergone no fluctuation
worth noting. In the aspect of foreign politics there is
nothing encouraging, but the abundance of money here
tells powerfully, aided, too, by the impression that, as
confidence abroad becomes impaired French and other
Securities will be disposed of by the holders, with the
view of investing the proceeds in Console. These latter
have been 951 1 for Transfer, and 951 1 for Account.
Exchequer-bills are steady at 62'. to 635. premium, and
India Bonds at 86s. to 88s. premium.
The Foreign S (Tie Market is still rather dull. Mexie
can Bonds are 291 1, with no inclination to do business.
Peruvian Five per Cents. have been quoted 71i to 72k,
and the Deferred 271 to 28. Equador Stock has been

are 861.
The Railway Share Market is rather flatter, especially
for Caledonian. Nerth Stafford have advanced, and North
Western are tolerably firm.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

The principal country markets held on Saturday were
but moderately supplied with both English and Foreign
Wheat. Fine qualities were in moderate request, at
full prices. In tno middling and inferior kinds compa-
ratively little was doing. All spring Corn ruled dull,
and in some instances the quotations had a downward
tendency. The latest advises from the United States
represent the Grain and Flour trade as steady. In the
continental ports very little has been doing in Grain,
the quotations of which have given way Is per quarter.
Up to our market last week the arrivals of Englisk
Grain were moderate. From abroad we received
6,920 quarters of Wheat; 19,414 ditto of Barley;
29,705 ditto of Oats; 200 ditto of Rye; 3,361 ditto of
Beans; 869 ditto of Peas; 1,136 ditto of Tares; 332 ditto
of Linseed; 546 ditto of Rapeseed; 9 ditto Mustardseed;
76 ditto sundry Seeds; 1,992 sacks and 220 brls of Flour.
The qaantity of English Wheat received fresh up to our
market to-day coastwise, was small. By land carriage
and sample, the receipts of that grain were trifling in
the extreme. As has been the case for some time past,
the stands were very scantily supplied with parcels of
home-grown Wheat, the quality of which was, how-
ever, arising from the fineness of the weather, unusually
good. The supply from Essex was speedily cleared off,
and in some instances rather more money, say is per
quarter, was obtained by the factors for the finest white.
In all other kinds a steady business was transacted, at
fully last week's quotations. Offers still continue to
reach us from the east coast, to ship Wheats at ruling
currencies. The show of fresh foreign Wheat
was but moderate, but that of granaried samples
was good. Fine qualities commanded a steely,
though not to say brisk, inquiry, at very full prices.
The middling and inferior descriptions were in moderate
request, at late rates. We were fairly supplied with
English Barley. That of foreign was very extensive.
All kinds were a dull inquiry, at a decline in the quota-
tions of is per quarter, at which very little progress was
made in sales. The quantity of Malt offering was con-
siderably in excess of the d•mand, which ruled heavy,
at barely the late decline in value. Home-grown Oats
were in very moderate supply. That of foreign was ex-
tensive. The Oat trade ruled heavy, at a fall in value of
Is per quarter, and the bulk of the supply remained un-
sold. Although the supply of Beals was not large, that
grain gave way is per quarter, with a very dull inquiry.
Peas moved off slowly; but we have no decline to notice
in the quotations. Indian Corn, Meal, and Flour com-
manded very lit:•le attention.

A further slight taw ease has taken place in the im-
portations of foreign stock into London. Since Monday
last they have amounted to 1,720 head. During the
correspo►:ding period in 1849 they comprised 1,944, and
at the same time in 1848, 893 head. The annexed state•
ment shows the quarters whence the stuck has been
derived.

By sea, from Ireland, 131 Beasts, 48 Sheep, 30 Calves,
and 72 Pigs have reached us. At the various outports
only about 700 head of stock have been landecl. Nt t-
withwanding that the last two cargoes of Si aaish Beasts
are reported to have been disposed at a loss of fully
20 per cent., we understand that further importations
are about to take place. This stcck is by no means in
favour with the butchers, owing to its bad weighing
qualities. Should the present high prices continue in
Holland, we may reasonably expect a falling off in the
arrivals of Sheep this year from that quarter. It is, how-
ever, well known that the ara;lable supplies of both
Beasts and Sheep on the Continent are large, and that
there is an extensive surplus fit fur export.
The supply of foreign Beasts on offer to-day was good—
that of Sheep and Calves very moderkte. From our
own grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts fresh up
were seasonably extensive, and of full average quality.
The primest Scots, Herefords, &c., were in somewhat
improved request, at prices quite equal to those obtained
on Monday last, the highest figure for Beef being 3s 6d
per 81bs., but all other breeds moved off heavily at barely
late rates. However, as the weather was very cold,
clearance was effected, though at a late hour. From
Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we re-
ceived 2,100 Short-horns and Scots; from all other parts
of England 700 Herefords, Hunts, Devons, &c.; and
fr m Scotland 200 Horned and Polled Scots.
There was a further decided increase in the number of
Sheep, at least a moiety if which were out of the wool.
All breeds met a very inactive demand. The primest old
Downs were mostly dispsed of at about stationary
prices, but all other Sheep declined in value 2d per
albs. Lambs were in good supply, and sluggish inqbury,
at late rates, viz., from 58 to 6s per gibs. In Calves,
comparatively little business was transacted, at about
stationary prices. The Pork trade was heavy, but we
have no change to notice in the currencies.

most part, good condition. Coastwise, about 2,000 tons
have come to hand. By railway, 1,150 tons have been
forwarded. We have to notice a slight improvement in
the demand for the best qualitie3, owing to the prevail-

WOOL.
Last week's imports of Wool into London were confined
to 129 bales from Harnburgb, 10 ditto from :Antwerp,
and 15 bags from Ireland. Tho quantity of Colonial
Wool on offer in the private contract market is very small,
and buyers are still coming forward at full prices. Foreign
Wools are very dull in sale. For British qualities, the
demand is steady at fully late rates.

TALLOW.
S:noo our last report, a fair average amount of business
ha: been transacted in Tallow. In prices, however, no
change has tiken place. To-lay, P.Y.C. on the spot is

SURREY SESSIONS.—(THIS DAY.)
George Knight, 36, described on the calonder as
whitesmith, was indicted fir stealing a chaise, the pro-
perty of John Smith, at Sr. George the Martyr.
Mr. Goldsmith prosecuted, and Mr. Johnson defended
the prisoner.

George Smith, the son of the prosecutor said, that in
the beginning of February last, a chaise was entrusted
by his father to the prisoner to repair. Witness repeat-
edly called upon him for it, when he made many excuses,
and when pressed for the return of it, whether finished
or not, he told him that some one had stolen it. Witness
called in a policeman and gave hire into custody, when
the axletree and springs were discovered concealed in the
back premises. :Witness identified the axletree and
springs from a peculiar mark placed on them when his
father purchased the chaise.

Evan Jones, a police-constable of the N division, said
he searched the prisoner's house, and after finding the
property produeol he discovered nearly a hundred
skeleton keys of the most extraordinary description,
sufficient to open any lock, a number of " jetnmies,"
and two curiously-construc'ed centre-bits cf great power.
which would enable a housebreaker to enter any shop.
The whole of them had been manufactured by the pri-
soner, and he was known to supply the most notorious
burglars in the country.
The prisoner said that, being a whitesmith, he had
use for those things in his business. He denied making
them for housebreakers.

Mr. Johnson addressed the jury for the prisoner, and
a verdict of Gu lty was returned.
The constable stated that the prisoner had been in
custody several times for stealing carts, but he generally
managed to get acquitted. He was, however, sum.,
manly convicted six months ago for robbing his fur-
nished lodgings.
The CHAIRMAN said the prisoner was a dangerous
character to society, and there could be no doubt he
manufactured there extraordinary implements for the
purpose of disposing of them to housebreakers. He,
should take care he did not carry on his avocation for a
long time, by sentencing him to two years' hard labour
in Brixton House of Correction.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
A middle-aged man, dressed in a comfortable•look-
ing fustian sal., named Collins, was charged with
bi gging.

Police•constable E 42 stated that yesterday afternoon
he was on duty in Bedford-square, and about four
o'clock he observed the prisoner try several area•gates.
One of them was open and he went down the steps, but
he did not appear to do anything wrong except knocking
at the kitchen door. Receiving no answer to his knock
the prisoner rt. turned into the square, when wienese
asked him what he wanted there, and th• prisoner re-
plied that he had been begging a little bread. He had a
long canvas bag across his shoulder, which on being
searched was found to contain broken victuals enough to
last any moderate man for four days. The prisoner also
had money about him, and witnes,, suspecting that he
was a practised hand ut mendicity, took him to the
station.

The prisoner said he was a snuff-grinder, and he
came from New Ross.

Mr. HALL sentenced him to eight days' imprisonment
A woman named Mary Archer was charged on a
beach warrant by a common informer, who stated his
name to to Frederick Cruse, of 51, Mount•t•treet,
Grosvenor-!quare, with keeping a brothel in Lower
Searle's-pluee,T,mule-har.
Mr. Inspector Dodd thougl•t it right to inform the
magistrate of the manner in which the warrant had been
execurt d. This warrant bad been in the informer', hands
for some time, but he bad watched his opportunity to
arrest the defendant on 'Saturday, so that she might be
locked up all Sunday.
Mr. HALL had no doubt that these men were nothing
better than extortionists, but his duty wad simply minis-
terial, to order the woman to put in bail.
The formal evidence of the granting of the si arrant
and finding of the indictment was then put in, and the
defendant having been told that she must find good bail
for her appearance at the sessions, of which she must 00
twenty-tour hours' notice t, the informer, she said she
wished to make a statement to the magistrate. This
man Cruse and another came to her about a month ago
and threatened to indict both her and bee husband un-
less she paid him 2/. 103. Soma money was handed to
him, and then, by his direction, she went into the
cenntry till the matter had blown over. She returned
home on Saturday evening, and just as she was going
out to market Cruse and another pounced upon her. She
had two sovereigns and two shillings in her hand at the
time she was arrested, but when she got to the station
the two sovereigns were missing. No one had touched
her but Cruse.

Mr. Inspector Dodd informed the magistrate that a
true bill had been found against Cruse and his assistant
f r att-mpting to extort money from the themdant's
husband.

WESTMINSTER AND ETON BOAT RACE.—The con-
test, which formerly took place almost annually between
these two schools, and which, as our readers m 99 be
aware, has latterly been prevented by the Head Master
of Westminster, on the ground that rowing had a ten-
dency to injure the health, will in all probability.be rte..
newed during the present season. All old Westminsters
and Etonians look forward to this match with as much
pie tsure as they do to the school cricket matches at
Los ; and thinking, as they must, that the fact of a
boy occasionally hutting himself by rowing, affords no
more re Isola for abolishing that sport than au accident at
cricket or shooting (of which there are many) affords
far prohibiting those manly amusements, they
will be
glad to learn that Dr. LidJell's objections are removed.
