Thk LacHsrsvo Bank . —Mr . Commissioner Balguy , ah . Friday " week , delivered judgment , in the Birmingham District Court of Bankruptcy ^ -with respect to the affairs of Richard Greene , of " the Lichfield Bank . In summing up the facts of the case , his Honour Baid : — ^ . The bankrupt was in partnership origina ll y with Mr . Scott and Mr . Palmer , the whole forming that banking establishment which existed in Lichfield for some years previous to 1850 . Mr . Scott was the father-in-law of Mr . Greene , and upon his death Mr . Palmer was the senior and leading -partner of the firm , and , being the older man , exercised , perhaps , the greater authority in the establishment . In 1850 , Mr . Palmer died , and upon his death Mr- Greene , with great propriety , overhauled the accounts of the bank . The result was the discovery
that the firm was hopelessly insolvent ; and Mr . Greene , with that strict regard to truth which has extended through a lengthened examination , had the candour to admit that not only was the establishment hopelessly insolvent , but that lie had ^ no expectations of being able to ! redeem his position during his lifetime . In this condition of affairs , he took the advice of friends , who imprudently-recommended him to go on with the -bank . " The result was that Mr . Greene was at length obliged to stop payment , and to go to the Bankruptcy Court . The debts were about 70 , 000 £ ; but it is anticipated that there are assets sufficient to yield a , dividend of ten shillings in the pound . The Commissioner did not
blame the bankrupt for anything exc « pt going on with the bank after discovering its condition in 1850 . " Mr . Greene , " continued Ms Honour , " said he tried to reduce his expenses , but found he could not do so . I can understand what he meant , as I can easily believe he considered that any material curtailment of his expenses would attract observation , and in all probability entail ruin upon the bank . I think he ought not to have been deterred by any consideration of that kind . I see that his expenses for the last five or six years amount to something like 17 , O 00 £ " The judgment was that the bankrupt should have a second-class certificate , to be suspended for one year , with protection .

CORN MARKET . Mark-lane , Friday , June 4 , 1856 . The continuance of fino -weather and the limited arrivals of Wheat and Flour into London cause buyers to hold off as much as possible ; holders , however , are firm , and the little business cUring is at Monday ' s rates . The arrivals off the coast , however , have been rather numerous , but a considerable proportion of the cargoes were previously Bold . Several cargoes of Danube Wheat have been taken at 58 a . and 63 s ., ono of very prime Kalafat at 65 s ., and one of Saidi at 47 s . Maize is less in request than last week , and to effect sales lower prices must be taken . A cargo of ibrau Maize was sold early in tho week at 30 s . Cd ., but on Wednesday 30 s . was taken for ono of Galatz , and 29 a . for Salomoa . Seeing that Maize at tlieso prices is much cheaper , weight for weight , than any other description or feeding stuffT it is hardly possible that any considerable decline can take Pl Barley and Oats , with small supplies , maintain their firnmoss .

remindjome draijmtiic . arfcista ihajLPM&Uue , * . root , aubstitute . for Jedirjg . a ^ ad in-. SKTwi conscientiously avow that we fail to detect a breath of feeling OTft ISxof eniotion in that Pam-as face from the first scene to the last . Only Lithe last * ct is there anything approaching an abandonment to the situation , and even there the sacred fire is not , and the passion is a careful trick . As ictthe singing , MadUe . Wagner cannot be said to have a voice at all : she has a rough sketch , so to speak , of three voices , all equally harsh , imperfect , and unnleasin * . Occasionally , it is true , there is » breadth of " phrasing not without a certain grandeiir ; but delicacy , refinement , finish , are all absent , and every now- and then we are shocked and exasperated by sounds that are neither speech nor song . It is difficult to expect that Madlle . Wagner will correct these detieiencies ; she has too high and too assured a reputation in Germany to take lessons anymore . Let us hope , at least , that she may improve her visit to Eoridon by hearing Madame Jb * hi Lind and Madame Viardot ! We heir it said that Madlle . Wagner cannot be fairly judged by those who | have not heard and seen her as Valentine in the Huguenots , Fides in the Prophete ; and of her Or / eo we have never heard but one , and that the highest , opinion . Nevertheless , we are too well satisfied that her dramatic reputation in England will not have been increased by her appearance . Omne ignotumpro magnifico .

THE LAST OF JENNY LIND . Monday , at Exeter Hall , beheld at once a triumph and a sorrow . Madame Jenny Gou > bchmidt-: Lin : d , who , for nearly ten years , ha 3 enchanted , in alternating seasons , the ears and hearts of England—who won and maintained an Unparalleled position in the lyric drama , and who , driven thence by ecclesiastical
exhoxtotions , conquered . * . njew empire -on the platform of : the concert-room- ^—Jenny Lind , who has held the East and the West , the Old and the New Worlds , alike , in the strong magic of her gentleness and her genius , and who , shining with a golden lustre on many : charitable homes , has made Music almost synonymous with Benevolence—Jenny Lino , on that day , sang her last in England . The performance was a great success . The vast Hall was crowded with an audience which , considering the phlegmatic temperament of Englishmen and women , may be said to have been in a fever of excitement ; and the fair singer was lovingty compelled to repeat the arduous song , the *• Queen of Night , " from Die Zauberflote . The performance was a miscellaneous concert , terminating with the celebrated " ¦¦ Echo Song , " after singing which , Madame Goldschmtdt made her farewell curtsey , and , in the midst of a tumult of applause , and a general flutter of handkerchiefs , passed away from sight , but not from memory .
