The Operas. * Tim Pntertainments At Heb ...
THE OPERAS . * Tim pntertainments at Heb Majesty ' s Theatre have not been quite so su-SemeTy divertTng this week as the last . We have had no Anglo-Italian tenor with a voice like a sponge , singing always half a tone too sharp , or ever so manv tones too flat , to the bewilderment and exasperation of the orchestra , and almost ' bringing the house down' by the dying contortions of an apoplectic Fantocciiio . We have had no Teutonic Lucrezia Borgia , storming at the pit and gallery ; but , en revanche , we have had Tancredi , an opera for ever associated in the memories of opera-goers with the names of Pasta , and Rubini . We have had Tancredi ' interpreted' by a German prima donna endowed with a prodigious power of screaming out of tune : we have had a email German tenor with a thin reedy voice straining to be noisy , and successfully ineffective : moreover , we have had a « house crowded to suffocation , a p erfect flower-show of bouquets thrown upon the stage by a laborious but not discreet claque . On the other hand , we have had , by way of a refreshing contrast , another Thursday evening with T , x Piccolomini , who needs neither bouquets nor claque to convince the world of her success , but whom the smiles , and tears , and sympathies of her audience accompany evermore . So true and so potent is the c harm of youth , of its freshness , its fervour , its enthusiasm ! Madlle . Piccolomini is not a consummate or even a great singer , or a great dramatic artist- perhaps she has not even the promise of greatness ; she is not of the calibre of a Grisi , or a Viabdot Garcia , or a Jenny ILind . But her chief defects at present are those of limited physical powers , and of immaturity in art and she possesses already what no power or study can bestow : we mean that indefinable charm which , the bird-like sweetness of the voice , and the impulsive abandonment of the acting , and the somewhat apocryphal romance of the singer ' s young c areer do not wholly account for . ! Let us recommend our readers not to miss Le Corsaire . It is the most beautiful ballet that has been produced in London for ten years ; and Rosati's dancing is delicious .
The Elisir D'Amore Was Repeated At The R...
The Elisir d'Amore was repeated at the Royal Italian Opera on Tuesday , to introduce a new light tenor , Signor Neri-Baraldi , who has sung for a shor ^ ,
time , and with moderate success , at the Itamens , and also at the Academie in Paris . Signor Neri-Baraldi enjoys a pure tenor voice ( a rarity now-adays ) , sweet and sympathetic in quality , not too deficient in power or in cultivation . He may , with due care and study , become very acceptable in such parts as Nemorino . ,. ,,. „ m . Otello , with Mario , Grist , and Ronconi , is announced in the bills . Ihis opera enjoys the peculiar privilege of always coming in at the death of the s eason . Our readers will be glad to learn that Madame Ristori is to be engaged for four more nights .
A Detective Telescope.—Some Thieves On T...
A Detective Telescope . —Some thieves on the Glasgow and Renfrew Railway bave been detected in a novel way in abstracting spirits from some barrels . They had eluded discovery for a long time ; but at last the station-master swept the line with a telescope , and perceived the men at work on the barrels . They have been committed for trial . Crystal Palace . —A charming addition has been lately made to the attraction of the tropical end of the Crystal Palace , in a collection of 1000 living birds , which have just arrived from South Australia . They consist mostly of the smallest Australian variegated parrot ( Melqpsittacus undulatus ' ) , and are in a very hardy and healthy state .
The Estate of James Sadleik . —A motion has been made before the Irish Lord Chancellor , to the effect that Mr . George M'Dowell , the official manager , be appointed a receiver over the personal and real estates of James Sadleir , and that , in case of the manager s refusal to act as such , it be referred to the Master to appoint another receiver . Some of the absconding Tipperary member ' s furniture has been traced to the sale-rooms of a Mr . Dillon , residing in Dublin , upon whom a copy of an injunction has been served .

Under The Title Of Monday Evening Concer...
Under the title of Monday Evening Concerts , a series of musical entertainments , with a graduated scale of admission from twopence up to one shilling , has been commenced at the Philharmonic Hall , Newman-street . We trust the enterprise may succeed , and we believe it will , for the Englishman , after all , is a music lover , and only requires that his natural tastes shall be educated . Music is also being popularized at the Sttrrey Gardens , as we mentioned last week ; and Jullien , enthroned in the new Music Hall of those once zoological regions , wields his lordly baton as of old , and directs the varied harmony which gives delight to crowded auditories .
The Haymarket On Wednesday Evening Produ...
The Haymarket on Wednesday evening produced a new comedy by Mr . Paigbave Simpson under the title of Second Love , in which Miss Reynolds reappeared for the first time since her severe illness . Mr . Buckstone likewise performed , and was roughly and grotesquely humorous , as usual . The piece was entirely successful . A stage favourite of former days—Mrs . Chatteklet—has returned once more , to the boards , having appeared at the Adelphi with much success in the part of the Countess Molinga in Born to Good Luck . The Lyceum , it is announced , will be opened for the ordinary dramatic season at the latter end of September , under the management of Mr . Dixlon , with a Shakspearian tragedy , in which the lessee will sustain the principal part . A burlesque by Mr . William Bbough is also spoken of .

* London , Friday Evening , July 25 , 1850 . There is no alteration in tho Funds—a great absenco of business , speculative or real . Money is very cheap , and tho drain of bullion to the Continent slightly diminishing . In tho Foreign Stock market there has open an improvement during tho week . Turkish Four and Six per Cent . Stock is in demand . Our homo heavy railway market is hardly so good as at tho commencement of the week . French and Foreign shares but littlo doing in . The London and South Western are enabled to announce a dividend of 54 per cent- Tho management of this lino is worthy of imitation . In tho now adventures , there are transactions in Riga Railway , Bengal , Ceylon , and South Eastern of Bengal . Tho Joint-gtock Banks aro well maintained in prices . National Discounts have wavered a littlo yesterday and to-day , onoor two similar iindcrtakiiiRS having been announced .
Minos are all neglected : tho great depreciation of ores , oxcopting tin , and people finding other means of investing money more safely and profitably , aro tho causes .

Corn Market. Mark-Lane, Friday, July 25,...
CORN MARKET . Mark-lane , Friday , July 25 , 1856 . The weather during the week has been most favourable for the growing crops , the supply of English Wheat has been as small as for some time past , but the arrivals of Foreign have increased , and amount to 27 , 750 qrs ., besides 6720 barrels of Flour . The demand for Wheat and Flour on the spot is confined to the supply of pressing wants , and to effect sales to any extent , lower prices must be submitted to ; this , however , holders refuse to do , and the trade is therefore little more than nominal . There have been very few arrivals of Wheat and Maize off the Coast since last Friday , and as most of those which were then waiting for orders were either sold or otherwise disposed of , there Has been no great pressure to sell , yet to effect sales it has been necessary to take less money . Danube Wheat arrived has been sold at 56 s . 6 d . and 58 s . Sd . Taganrog Ghirka on passage at 64 s . with guarantee of condition , and 61 s . without guarantee . Galatz Maize arrived at 30 s . 3 d ., 30 s . 6 d . anl 31 s ., and a cargo of Odessa at 30 s . Ibrail and Foxanian at 29 s . Barley continues to advance in value , and the demand for Maize on the spot is consequently on the increaso . Its value , ex Ship , duty paid , is 31 s . 6 d . to 82 s ., weighed 480 lbs . Oats have arrived in considerable quantity , and the trade to-day is excessively slow at a decline of 6 d . to Is . per qr . Beans and Peas scarce and fully as dear .
