      act the ; next time La Sirene is performed . She sang it to perfection on Monday night , and was fitly rewarded by an encore . In the difficult air of the first act , behind the scenes , and in the brilliant finale , the exquisite ease of her execution , and the delightful clearness and certainty of her intonation , told triumphantly on the audience . They had never heard her to such advantage before , and they recalled her with enthusiasm at the end of the opera . In other respects , the performance was a great advance on those which ( have preceded it . M . Styol , who took the principal tenor part , can act iniiitt aiusi ixi

      cemgenny , ana can smy : u nn » ruu ^ n . .. vxnguun , vuu , was lainy equal to the comic passages in his character—acting now and then -with a ! quaint and quiet humour , which produced hearty laughter from the audi- j ence . M . Lieroy was , indeed , the only offender among the dramatispersonce ' . against the laws of good taste and commoa sense . He was more wearisome , noisy , and blustering than ever on Monday night in his attempts to be amusing . We never remember seeing so bad an actor as he is , with such an admirably comic face arid figure as he possesses in all our experience of theatres . The critic in the Times suggests giving M . Leroy Hamlet ' s advice to the players . We suggest g iving him a mild dose of chloroform at the wing . " He would be irresistible under the influence of a gentle sedative . Les Diamans de la Couronne is announced for Monday . This , we venture to predict , will be the crowning success of the season .

      The Inct . uence of Sex as a Predisposing Cause of Consumption . —Statistics speak a doubtful language on this point , giving the preponderance now to the one sex ; now to the other . The greatest ratio of frequency is prooably on the ; side of the female . The experience of the Brompton Hospital , however , assigns the greater liability to consumption to males than to females . This may be true of the classes W-ho fall peculiarly within the scope of that admirable charity , and who live in or around the metropolis ; but we believe with Louis that females have the predisposition par excellence . This may be explained on two gronnds . 1 st . Females are probably more exposed to the inducing causes of tuberculous disease . Among these are sedentary habits , with tlie breathing of the vitiated air of close apartments . The usages of civilised society necessarily impose sedentary

      habits in a greater ratio on females when they do not impose them on themselves . 2 nd . The physiological condition of the female blood is an approximation to that of the pathological state , or the " taint . " It contains fewer red corpuscles and a larger proportion of water than the blood of males ; their stamina is less ; the vigour of the circulation less ; their heart , arteries , , and lungs smaller , and less firm- The sum of these may constitute an element of predisposition to the disease . This is certain , that females most frequently transmit the tubucular taint , and female offspring are the most susceptible of the inheritance . There is , however , a preponderance of the less severe local forms of Scrofula in the male sex , i . e . of tubercular manifestation everywhere but in the lungs . —Tie Water Pure in Consumption and Scrofula , by Dr . Balbirnie .

      CORN MARKET . Mark Lano , Friday Evening , July 7 . Local Tn . vDE . —At this day ' s market there is rather a better attendance , with a very slight increase , in the demand , at Monday ' s rates . To efl'cct sales of Wheat to any extent , however , it would bo necessary to accept lower rates . No alteration in IJarley or Oats . Free on Boari > . —Sinco our last the wcathor has been vory unsettled , and a good deal of rain has fallon , greatly to tlio disappointment of those farmers who are occupied in potting in the hay crop . It has not , however , as yet iniluouced tlio demand for Whoat in tho country markets , which have been quite as well supplied by tho farmers . Tho supplies of Wheat at London have beon quite as largo as wore expected , though still bolo \ v what is generally supnosed to bo tlie consumption of tho metropolis and suburbs ,

      to say nothing of tlio demand lor more distant districts , and aomo small purchases which continue to bo mado forFrance , notwithstanding tho markets thoro continue in tho same dull stale as our own . Thoro has beon very little doing f . o . b . in the Haltic nnd other northern ports , With light Blocks tho markets thoro aro flat , and prices have given way somewhat , though not sufficient to induce purchasers for JJrltlsh account . Thoro is fair demand for heavy Danish Bnrloy , but tho lighter o , tmlltioH of Danish and Mediterranean aro neglected . Tho value of Oats ooiitinucs to bo pretty well maintained , though dealers and consumers buy only to sui ) i ) Iy Immediate wants . Tho arrivals nt Now York appear by our lnat advices to have boon considerable yet , notwithstanding this , and tho clu'ck to tho export ; domuutl , emitted by an advance in freights , prices wore ( Irmly maintained .

      The great news this week in connexion with the Opera is , that Grisi is to

      give eight extra performances before she takes her farewell . She 13 announced to apj sar in La Favorita , Anna Bolena , and La Gazza Ladra ; the latter opera ( too rarely heard in London ) being associated with her earliest triumphs as an actress and a singer . Norma , the J ^ nritani , and the Huguenots have been given this week ; and La Prova ( Tun Opera Seria—not at all worth revival on account of its own merits—has been taken from the shelf , by way of enabling the subscribers to renew their acquaintance with the time-honoured " gag" of the great Lablache .

      ¦ Theatrical business has been brisk this week in our markets for the homemanufacture of foreign material . French farces have been done into English at the Lyceum and the Haymarket , with fair success . And a new adaptation of La Joie Fait Peur has been , produced , under the title of Hopes and Fears , at the Adelphi . In this version the characters retain their nationality , and the scene is , of course , lef t , as in the original play , in France . The parts of the mother and the old servant are played by Madame Celeste and Mr . Webster ; and the character of the young officer is performed by Miss 1 Woolgar ! This latter arrangement strengthens the " cast , " by including in ; it a popular actress ; but it necessarily destroys the reality of the scene in this most pathetically real of dramas , and it is , on that account , an inexcusable error in taste . It may be all very well for ladies to appear in trousers in farces ; but in such a play as La Joie Fait Peur , this sort of masquerade , however admirably it may be sustained , is utterly out of place .
