THEATRE ROYAL.-MISS JENNY LIND

Last evening was appointed for the first appearance at
our Theatre of this gifted child of song ; and at an early
hour all the avenues to the Theatre were crowded by par-
ties anxious to see her as she approached the place of her
triumph, or to see the jostle of parties eager to see the
Divinity which had led our musical people so fixedly
in her train. By half-past six a dense crowd occu-
pied Murray-street, the usual entrance to the gallery
of the Theatre, which on this occasion was dignified by the
term of Amphitheatre ; and from the time of the opening
of the doors for the more aristocratic portion of the au-
dience, the Square in front of the Theatre was occupied
by dense masses of people ; amongst whom, the carriages
of the visiters had to pass. At an earlier hour than usual,
the Theatre began to fill ; and we must say that every-
thing was arranged with great tact on the part of those
who had the management of this department. The
house was not what we should be disposed to call
crowded ; but, considering the prices, and that the pit
and lower boxes were let at 31s. 6d. a seat, the upper
circle at 215., and the gallery and slips at 10s. 6d., such a
house could only have been assembled by an attraction of
the first order, such as we may regard the attraction of
Jenny Lind and the distinguished artistes by whom she is
accompanied. Moreover, the arrangement by which it
was provided that no money should be taken at the door,
assured every party taking tickets that room sufficient for
comfort would be afforded. To the Liverpool play-goer
the coup d' ceuil of the gallery—on this occasion dignified
by the title of the amphitheatre—was a little startling,
being filled with well-dressed people, quite equal in re-
spectability of appearance to the ordinary lower box
audiences, instead of the usual complement of seamen
and other similar play-goers by whom it is usually filled.
We must say that the queen of modern cantatrices did
not, in the opening scenes of the first act, electrify us, as
many doubtless expected. Her style is the reverse of that
which aims at catching the applause of an audience in the
opening scenes as a sort of guarantee of subsequent plau-
dits. In the first portion of the piece she was pleasing
and exquisitely natural. Not a passion was torn to tatters
in music ; no effect sought where effect was not intended ;
no ornaments superadded either to the score of the com-
poser, or the sense of the writer of the libretto. The
songstress warmed only with the interest of the situ-
ation in which she was placed ; but even in her tamer mo-
ments her power was manifest. You could see thatit only
needed to be called upon to be there. In scene third, in
" Sovra it sen," she gave an intimation of the quality of
her voice for the first time ; and in the duet "Ale Virrei"
with Gardoni, she was most felicitous. In the ninth
scene, her "tua son io" was thrilling beyond that of any

'ess we ever heard in the part ; liut her triumph was
scene 11th, which concluded the first act. No one who
saw the unaffected, simple, and cheerful being who por-
trayed the first two or three acts, could have imagined
that the same actress could be capable of portraying so
much passion, and that so exquisitely.
We must not omit to state that in Madame Solari,
Signor Gardoni, and Signor Solari, Mademoiselle Lind
had accessories of the first order, who ought not indeed
to be paised over, and should not be, but for the fact that
just now we are writing, and all the world are thinking,
of Jenny Lind.
In scene the 2nd of the second act, the dialogue between
Arabia and Teresa were given with great effect, and
showed the powers of Mademoiselle Lind to great advan-
tage. Her acting in the third scene was most effective
as indeed was her acting in both this and the fourth scene.
In the latter scene the close was most beautiful. Scene
sth is the celebrated scene in which Lisa is about to be
wedded to the betrothed of Amina; and scenes six and
seven, as given in the libretto of the piece, carry the tale
on to- the approach of the denouement. In all these
Mademoiselle Jenny Lind is exquisite; but it is in the
closing scenes—those in which depth of feeling has to be
portrayed—she is most successful. In the fine melodies
which concluded the piece she was vociferously applauded.
At the close of the performances the Square was
crowded,- and most inconvenient for those who had to
walk a few yards to meet their conveyance ; and
Mademoiselle Jenny Lind was almost carr

LONDON CORN MARKET.-YESTERDAY

A good supply of English Wheat from Essex and—Kent met a
slow demand at a decline of 3s. to 4s. per quarter. The finer
sorts of foreign Wheat cannot be quoted more than Is. to
2s. lower, but inferior descriptions are forced off at veil
irregular prices, and, in some instances, the decline was
fully as great as upon English. Barley in limited request,
at a decline of Is. per qr. Oats, of which the arrivals are again
large, must be noted 6d. to Is. cheaper. New Beans in better
supply, and price gave way ss. per qr. Old Beans, 25. lower.
Peas, without alteration.

SMITHFIELD CATTLE MARKET.—YESTERDAY.
We have an extraordinary supply of Beasts; the demand
also is very considerable. On the average, trade is scarcely so
good as on Friday, yet we cannot quote the choicest qualities at
less money. Large as the number is, the whole is likely to be
cleared off at very little reduction in the second-rate Flescnptions-
We have about 2,200 from Leicestershire, Northamptonshire,
and Warwickshire ; 400 from Lincolnshire, 600 from Holland
and Germany, 100 from Ireland, and the remainder from vari-
ous parts of the country.

The number of Sheep is about the same as last week; rather
a short supply ; trade brisk at about the same prices.
Calves are not so plentiful ; trade hardly so brisk as on Fri-
day, but good quality are quite as dear. Scarcely any inquiry
for Lambs. Pigs continue as dear. From Holland and
Germany there are 3250 Sheep and 216 Calves.

MONEY MAR

YESTERDAY

The English funds opened heavily this morning, the quota,
tions being lower by / per cent. than at the close on Saturday.
Uneasiness is still felt at what to many seems a doubtful,
if not even a dangerous, state of affairs between Austria
and the Pope, but otherwise there has been no fresh circum-
stance to favour the position of parties operating for the rise.
There has, up to the present hour, been very little doing.
Consols 87f to / for money, and 87j to 8 for account. Exche-

The Observer says that a proclamation, by order of the
Queen in council, will be issued at the proper time, direct-
ing a general thanksgiving for the blessings of the present
bountiful harvest but that nothing official will be an-
nounced prior to her Majesty's return from Scetland.
The Emperor of Russia, on receiving the news of the
late fire at Archangel, immediately remitted a sum equal
to 200,000 f. for the relief of the sufferers, and ordered
50,000 pieces of timber, belonging to the government, to
be sent towards the rebuilding of the houses burnt down.
FURTHER FAILURES Another failure was announced
to-day in the corn trade, the firm being that of Thomas
Booker, Sons, and Co. The amount of liabilities has not
been stated, but it is considered probable it will be found
to range between £30,000 and £50,000. We have also to

REFUSAL OF AN ALDERMAN TO OBEY AN ACT or
PARLIAMENT.—At the City police committee, on Satur-
day, Mr. Gill, the pass-master to the city of London, at-
tended with several Irish families before Mr. Alderman
Farebrother, for the purpose of passing them home. One
of the persons, a woman with five children, informed the
alderman that she was to be sent home against her will,
for she had no person in Ireland living to whom she wag
related. The family had, like many others, come to Eng-
land through want, and were landed at Liverpool, from
whence,. although they were ill, they were sent to London,
where the husband died the next day. They had since
been in the City of London Union, but the guardians had
now determined to pass them back to Ireland. Mr. Al-
derman Farebrother said he should certainly not sign the
order of removal, and directed Mr. Russell, the clerk to
the board of guardians, to be sent for. That officer sub-
sequently attended, and said it was the wish of the woman
to go back ; besides it was necessary to send back the
casual paupers. Mr. Alderman Farebrother said she hadj►
with tears in her eyes, told him a very different story,
although it was necessary to send some of them baCk,
certainly should not sign a pass to send back a poor wo-
man who declares that she has not a single relative left,
and thus force her and her five children to die from want
of food. He certairl
