The Italian Opera In Its New Home. From ...
THE ITALIAN OPERA IN ITS NEW HOME . From being originally an English Opera House , the Lyceum , by the strange fortune , or misfortune , of the day , has become an Italian Opera House . Tuesday evening saw the commencement of Mr . Gyb ' s season ; on which occasion , the Queen , of course , was present . We say " of course , " because her Majesty has always been gracious to Mr . Gye , and because the peculiar circumstances of the case would naturally engage her sympathies . Prince Albert and the Princess Royal were also present .
The house has been redecorated , and is now painted in pale Hue , white , and gold . A new chandelier hangs from the roof . The orchestra has been reduced to about fifty performers , and is still under the supremacy of Mr . Costa . Tie opera on the first night was the Trovatore , which was received with an enthusiasm that speaks well for the prospects of the season . We may remark , however , that , fr om the large number of stalls which have been made , the public , in the tr ue sense of the word , are nearly excluded , and the audience is almost put on the footing of a coterie . No doubt it cannot be helped under the cir cumstanees ; but , with the present growth of musical love in England , it is t o be lamented .
The Ticket-Op -Leave System.—The Select ...
The Ticket-op -Leave System . —The Select Committee of tlxe House of Commons appointed to inquire into this question met for tie first time on Thursday . Mr . H . Waddington , Permanent Under Secretary to the Treasury , was the only witness examined . He was of opinion that it was impossible to go on with transportation as ifc previously existed , aud lie denied that the ticket-of-leave system had failed . Death of Earl Cowpeb . —Earl Cowper , eldest son of Viscountess Palmerston , died suddenly from epasms of the heart on Tuesday night in the Assize Court at Maidstone . The Royal Naval Female School at Richmond . —A . bazaar for the "benefit of this institution will be Tield at Willis ' s Rooms , St . James ' s , on Thursday and Friday , the 15 th and 16 th of May , and at St . Margaret ' s-, Isle worth , on Thursday and Friday , the 29 fch . and 30 th of May .
Prison Breaking . —A man named Thomas Hirons has escaped from Porfcsmou th convict establishment . He had been removed there for greater safety , on account of two attempts he had made to break out of Reading Gaol , where he was confined for burglary . In these attempts he exhibited great ingenuity . Pre-¦ vi ou « to being taken there , he had escaped from the Banbury lock-up ; aud he has now once moro freed himself from confinement . He has not yet been recaptured . — A voting woman , named Mary Ann Leonard , yras on Wednesday charged at the Seuthwarfc Police-office , with escaping from the Surrey county gaol . She was committed for trial ; but the following day it was announced that she had again slipped away from captivity in a very mysterious manner .

Money Market And City Intelligence . Lon...
MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . London , Friday Evening , April 18 , 1856-The English Funds continue to manifest great firmness The Bank of England as yet shows no sign of relaxing tie rates of discount . Money is still scarce , and the heavy sneeulative purchasers for a rise have to pay an enormous r » er centngelor carrying over . their accounts . The first half-monthlj settlement in Shares took place at tlie commencement of tlie week . A failure took place to a very small amount , and that will be settled probably before another account ; but it liaa had tlie effect of depressing tlie Foreign Stocks . Mexican , ^ panish , and Sardinian find buyers . Turkish Six-and-a-Half and the Four-and-a-Half are very firm , and well held . The prices of French and Belgian lines are lower . Unless there is some relief to the " iinpecunlosity" of our Gallic friends on the Paris Bourse , there must be a tremble in all foreign lines . Crcesus himself could not stand tlie friehtfu rates that the Paris" Ball ,- have to pay « S ? SonSn £ 8 S 5 Great Westerns of Cannda are 26 * , 4 , ex dividend per share —» -. « ., 25 per cent , premium on the original share f and the increasing trafflo returns , coupled with the increasing prosperity of Canada , warrants tlie high price . With a two or tliree _ yeara peace , we shall see tae shares at loo per cent . The heavy Shares in our English Market are firm—no great amount of business doing ; the same applies to Caledonian , Great Northerns , and Covers . In Great Northerns lu ^ rtl « endenc y . > mRrove , Amongst the new schemes the Riga Commercial Railway is at a premium ; JLombardo-Tenetian as high aai } premium-but thia premium cannot last ; l ' ernambuco . 1 } premium i Carmeaux Toulouae Coal and Railway still at a premium , but doomed to fall In tne Mining Markets there has been but little busin-css Cobre Copper and St .

CORN MARKET . Mark-lane , Friday , April 18 , 1856 . The arrivals of wheat have been very moderate . The trade during the week has been very quiet .

Very few cargoes have appeared off the the coast ; two cargoes of Saidi wheat have been sold at 37 s . 6 d . and 38 s ., and one of Kalafat at 55 s . cost , freight and insurance . Several arrived cargoes of beans have been sold at 26 s . and 263 . 6 d . cost freight and insurance .
