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 . Siyol , who took the principal tenor part , can act intelligently , and can sing like a thorough arttet . M . Grignon , too , was fairly equal to the comic passages in his character—acting now and then with a quaint and quiet humour , which produced hearty laughter from the audience . M . LeToy was , indeed , the only offender among the dramatispersonce against the laws of good taste and common sense . He was more wearisome , ttoisy , 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 and 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 giving 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 he the cro \ vni «§ success of the season .

The Great News This Ayeek In Connexion W...
The great news this Ayeek in connexion with the Opera is , that Grisi is to
give eight extra performances before she takes her farewell . She is j announced to appear 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 . Nor > na , the Puritani > and the Huguenots have been given this week ; and La Prova Wun Opera Stria—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 .
The Ijipmenck Of Sex As A Pbebisposnrd C...
The IjiPMENCK of Sex as a PBEbisposnrd Cause o » CoNStiMPTioi * . — -Statistics speak a doubtfuHangnage on this point , giving the preponderance now to the one sex , now to the other . Tbe greatest ratio of freq ^ aencj U-jrooably on the ; side of the female . The experience of tlte Brbmpton Hospital , however , assigns the greater liability to consumption to males than to females . This may be true of tne classes who fall petnliariy within the scope of that admirable riiarify , and-aiift live in <> r : «» mnnfl tbe ¦ metropolis ; but we fcelieye with Louis that i & maleabave the preaisposuion par excellence . This may be explained on two grounds . 1 st . Females are probably more exposed to the inducing causes of tuberculous disease . Among these are sedentary habits , ¦ with the 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 ths female blood is an approximation to that of the pathological state , or the "taint . " Itcantains fewer red corpuscles and a larger proportion of water than , the blood of males ; their stamina ja leas ; the vigour of the . circulation less ; their heart , arteries , and lungs smaller , and less firm . The sum of these may constitute aa element of predisposition to tlie disease . This is certain , that females most frequentl y transmit the tubucular taint , and fentale 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 , » . e . of tubercular mauifestation everywhere but in the lungs . — -The Water Cure in . Consumption and Scrofula , by Dr . Balbimie ,

Theatrical Business Has Been Brisk This ...
Theatrical business has been brisk this week in our markets for the homemanufacture of foreign material . French farces hare been done into English at the Ltceom and the Haymakkkt , with fair success . And a new adaptation of La Joie Fait Peur has been produced , under the title of Mope * and Fears , at the Adexphi . In this version the characters retain their nationality , and the scene is , of course , left , 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—MissWoolgarl This latter arrangement strengthens the ' * cast / by including inVit 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 . , ¦ . .- . .. ¦ . ¦ -rwr .

Fbee on Boaud . —Since our last tlio weather has been very unsettled , and a w > od deal of rain has fallen ) greatly to the disappointment of those farmers who are occupied in potting in the hay aron . It . has not . however , as yot influenced the demand for Wheat in the country markets , whioh have been quite as woll supplied by the farmers . The supplies of "Wheat at London have lieon quite aa largo as woro expected , though still bolovr wiia'ff is generally supposed to bo the consumption of tho metropolis and suburbs , to say nothing of tho doinand for more distant districts , and aomo small purchases which continue to bo made for France , notwithstanding tlio markets thoro continue in tho name dull state as our own . There has been , very little doing f , o . h . in tho Baltic nnd other northern ports . With light stocks tho markets there uro flat , and prlcos have plron way nomowliat , though not stiftlclont to induce purohtiacrs for British account . There is fair demand for heavy Danish Barloy , but tho lighter qualities of Danish aud Mediterranean » ro neKlootod , Tho valuo of Oats continuos to bo pretty well maintained , though dealers and consumers buy only to supply iimnodiate wants .
