ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. Ressini's Otello was produced here last evening, with Tamberlik as Otello, Ronconi lago, Zelger Elmiro, and Madame Grisi Desdemona. The part of Desdemona has always ben' a great part in the repertoire of Grisi, and albeit she scarcely looks " the gentle lady married to the Moor" whom Shakespere drew, yet she is an admirable operatic Desdemona, seeing that the Desdemona of Rossini is by no means " a gentle lady," but an impassioned Venetian, who can very well take her own part when occasion requires. Grisi was in excellent voice on Saturday; she sung the music deliciously, and made all her old points with unerring precision—a compliment, by-the-bye, which cannot be paid to the audience, who unaccountably neglected to encore the gem of the opera—the Willow Song. The Otello of Tamberlik was very fine; his "make up" was admirable, his acting most impassioned, and his singing superb; he is the most manly Otello on the stage. Ronconi was excellent as Iago; his duet with Tamberlik, in the second act, was the very perfection of dramatic singing. Zelger, as Elmiro, although not equal t ) Lablache, was very effective. Maralti was a pains-taking Roderigo; and Mademoiselle Cotti an excellent Emilia. The choruses were admirably given, and the orchestra all that could be desired. The principal artistes were frequently called on during the course of the performance. The Queen's box was occupied by Lady George Lennox and the Hon. Miss Lennox, and Mrs. Locke and party.

THE BERMONDSEY MURDER —The whole of the affair connected with the Bermondsey murder has been settled by the Treasury. It may be recollected that, shortly after the execution of the Mannings, all the property found on the convicts and in Scotland, and the railway shares, were delivered over to the Crown, to be disposed of. That portion belonging to the murdered man was paid to his relatives, and the remainder, which was clearly established to be the property of Manning and his wife, was retained until some settlement could be made respecting the expenses of their defence. Mr. Binns, the solicitor for Manning, and Mr. Solomons, the solicitor for his wife, received instructions some time ago to send in their respective accounts, and last week letters were sent to them, requesting their attendance at the Treasury. On Saturday those gentlemen had an interview with sir. Maule, and received payment of their accounts, but much reduced in amount. The French Rentes have been disposed of, and the other property has been handed over to Manning's relatives. The America sailed from Liverpool on Saturday for New York. She had 80 passengers and a large cargo of goods.
