HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

Carlotta Grisi took her benefit last evening, on which occa-
sion the marvellous Pas de Quatre, by Taglioni, Cerito, Lu-
cile Grahn, and the fair benefi,iaire herself, was repeated, and
excited even greater enthusiasm than it did on Saturday. The
stage, at the conclusion, was a perfect parterre of bouquets ;
and when, after the fall of the curtain, the " wondrous four "
were led on by Perrot, the flowery shower was renewed. One
bouquet of enormous size was thrown to Perrot, a well-de-
served tribute to the inventive genius of that great artiste.
Perrot, however, having bowed his acknowledgments, divided
his bouquet into four parts, and gave one to each of the ladies.
The opera was Mozart's Cosi fun tutte, with the following
strong cast :—Alfonso. Lablache ; Ferrande, Mario; Gegli-
elmo, F. Lablach ; Fiordiligi, Castellan ; Derabella, Rita
Borio; and Despina, Rossi Caccia.
Her Majesty and Prince Albert honoursd the theatre with
their presence.

SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
FARR V. STORES.
The plaintiff is a cheesemeuger, in Lambeth, and the de-
fendant, a baker, in the York-road. The action was brought
to recover the sum of 5/. 65., for Irish butter supplied to de-
fendant. A witness was called who estimated the value of
such butter in February last at 50s. per cwt.
Some of the jury considered the valuation too low.
The SECONDARY said the jury could only go on the evi-
dence, for if they did not, their verdict would be set aside ;
they must not go on mere surmise, or de an act of injustice for
the sake of a few shillings.—Verdict for the amount claimed.
LESTER V. BOYLE.
The plaintiff in this case is a linen-draper, in Sun-street,
the action was brought to recover the sum of 31. Os. 9d., for
drapery goods.
It was proposed, on behalf of the plaintiff, to prove the de-
livery of the goods to the wife, and her admission of the debt.
The SECONDARY said, unless the wife was carrying on busi-
ness as agent for her husband, her admission was not binding.
The attorney said the goods were for domestic purposes.
The SECONDARY said, in that case the debt was due from
defendant, and the admission by the wife was not sufficient.
A witness was then called, who proved an admission by de-
fendant himself.—Verdict for plaintiff.
SMITH V. BRIGGS.
This was an action by an accountant for making up defen-
dant's books. The charge was ss. per hour, and amounted to
91. 14s.
It was clearly proved that sum had been agreed on, and that
it was a common charge. The jury thought it a very high one.
The SECONDARY said it was a very usual:one by accountants.
—Verdict for plaintiff.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-(FRIDAY.)

Our arrivals this week consist chiefly of foreign and Irish
Oats, which have consisted of upwards of 50,000 quarters.
This supply has, of course, a considerable eftect upon the
trade, and lower prices must be submitted to in order to effect
sales. The fine weather caused the demand for English
Wheat to rule heavy, at barely Monday's quotations. In
foreign Wheat next to nothing was doing. Barley and Malt
were dull, but not cheaper. Beans and Peas were held at full
prices. . _ _

SMITHFIELD.

Notwithstanding our market of to-day was scantily sup-
plied with Beasts, the demand for that description of stock
was heavy, at a reduction in price of 2d per 81bs. We had
on offer 200 Scots from Scotland, 120 Oxen and Cows from
Holland, 12 ditto from Hamburgh, and 50 Beasts from Ire-
land. The numbers of Sheep were by no means large, yet
the sale for them was inactive, at barely Monday's quotations.
Lambs moved off slowly, at late rates. The Veal trade was
very dull, yet we can notice no variation in value. In Pigs
very little was doing. Milch Cows sold at from 161 to 19/103
each, including their small Calf.

BOROUGH HOP MAREET.
We have again to report a very dull inquiry for all de-
scriptions of Hops here; indeed, so little is passing in them
that the quotations are almost nominal. The plantation
accounts are very favourable. In the duty very little is doing.
Owing to the actual prices being very uncertain, we have
omitted them. _ _ _

THE LATE CASE OF MILITARY FLOGGING.--Last
night a meeting of inhabitants of the borough of the Tower Ham-
lets was held at the Eagle Tavern, Mile End-road, for the pur.
pose of taking into consideration the recent flogging of the two
men, Seaman and Lawring, belonging to the Grenadier Guards,
at Windsor, on Saturday last, under circumstances which ap-
peared in The Sun of Monday last, and to adopt
such measures as might be expedient. Mr. Morris
having been called to the chair, as an old soldier
denounced in strong terms the treatment the men had received,
which was against all law and feeling of humanity, and it was
neither a regimental or general court-martial. It was his opinion
that a public subscription should be entered into for the purpose of
obtaining counsel's opinion, whether an action would not lie
against the commanding officer for subjecting them to the lash
without submitting the case first to the higher authorities. It was
eventually agreed to send a requisition to the Members for the
borough, Colonel Fox and Sir William Clay, to call a public meeting
of the eleclorsof the borough.

The Right lion. George R. Dawson, Commissioner
of Customs, paid a visit to and inspected the St. Katherine's Docks
on Wednesday aftern.,on last, and afterwards proceeded to the
London Docks for a similar purpose. These official •isits, on the
part of Mr. Dawson, are very frequent, and it Is generally noticed
that he at all times exhibits a marked zeal to obtain every possible
information on business matters, and also to afford every assistance
in his power for the convenience of trade, and the advantage of the
public service.

- Letters from Rome state that the concordat, signed
between the Courts of Rome and Madrid, on the 7th of April last,
provided that the Catholic religion should be exclusively and for
ever professed in the dominions of the Spanish monarchy; that
seminaries for the education of clergymen should be established in
every diocese, and placed under the special direction of the
bishops ; that the latter should have the exclusive right of wato-
- over the religious instruction of youth in public schools; that
monasteries and convents, still in existence, should be maintained,
and those suppressed reestablished at a seasonable moment ; that
the clerical property unsold should be restored to the church, and
the despoiled religious establishments, and that until then they
should be administered by three ecclesiastical functionaries ; that
the Spanish Government should assign an adequate provision
for the celebration of religious worship and the maintenance
of the clergy, which, together with the unsold property, should
constitute the dotation of the Church, and enable its ministers
to live in a decent and independent manner; that the Church
should have the right of acquiring and possessing property ; that
no union or suppression of ecclesiastical livings should take place 1
without the permission of the holy see; and, finally, that the es,
tates and property of the Church should be held sacred and invio-
lable. The Pope, on his side, undertook from the moment when
a competent provision should have been made for the maintenance
of the Church and clergy, to issue a bull, declaring the owners of
clerical property purchased previous to the Ist of January, 1845,
should at no period be disturbed in its possession, either by himself
or his successors. His Holiness added, that he would accredit a
nuncio to Madrid for the settlement of minor religltoma affairs.;
and the period fixed for the exchange of cue ratifications of the
convention was not to exceed three Months. The objections of
the Spanish Cabinet referred to the dotation of the clergy and the
sanction of the sale of the Church property, but it was believed that
the Pope would not enter into any compromise on the subject.
