,VIONEY. and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, weroesti-
mated at 10,C00 bales, of which 4,000 American were
taken for export and on speculation. The market
closed firmly et full prices. The sales comprised 8 000
American, 450 Pernam and Maranham, at 61-1. to 7id.;
200 Egyptian, at 6kd. to 81; 1,000 Surat, at 3id. to 40.;
and 150 Fee Island, at ls. 20. to ls. Bd. per lb.—la
Railway Shares a fair business was done at higher prices.
the report of the Manchester market, as furnished by
Messrs. M'Neir, Greenhow, and Irving, for the past
month, is as follows:
" Employment much in advance of the existing and
gradually increasing productive power, continues still
to characterise the staple productions of this district.
At no time in our recollection were the operatives
connected with power loom cotton manufacture, ewe•
cially, better and more beneficially employed, when the
relative cheapness of the necessaries of life is taken into
account; neither, probably, were producers, being
spinners and manufacturers, in a general way, found
to he pursuing a more lucrative course.. The dis-
trict. therefore, may be pronounced to be in a
healthy and prosperous condition generally. As usual,
of late, the market during the month has been
of a changeable and fluctuating character, arising in a
great measure from what we have often previously ad-
verted to, viz., the sympathy constantly in exercise be-
tween the Liverpool Cotton Market and that of Man-
chester as regards the manufactured article. Materially,
too, in the present month, the unfavourable accounts
frum Germany—resulting from the scarcity and dear-
ness of food, and the yet unhealthful and unremunerative
condition of several of the Eastern markets, have contri-
buted to produce the position indicated. From the pre-
ceding, the fact of another month's very extensive trans-
actions having taken place is clearly obvious. Stocks,
generally, are fully lighter than they were at the end. of
April, with prices generally firmer, and in some cases
actually higher. No great amount of animation at the
moment is perceptible; still the heavy contracts in ex-
istence create corresponding deliveries, and necessitate
the completion of orders, which consequently produces
much bustle and activity even in the absence of new ope-
rations."

Referring to the condition of the Money marks
during the psst month, the editor of the Banker's
Magazine for June remarks—" The favourable state of
things which prevailed during Aptil has been con-
tinued during May, and, in point of fact, we have
scarcely any alteration to make in the description given
in our last review. The prices of the Publio Securities
have been firm and remarkably steady. Consols have,
on one or two days, touch( d par. for Money, but have
again receded to within or per cent, of that figure.
The rate of discount remains as stated last month, and
the demand for, and the supply of. capital in the same
state. Perhaps, on the whole, there is a little more
difficulty in finding temporary employment for capital."
Sydney accounts, vies the United States, to Feb. 20,
bsve been received.
The production of gold, it appears, is still on the in-
crease. The weekly m from the mining districts,
with a Government escort, had just arrived, and the
gold received at the Treasury Was as follows:—From
'citron, 1,852 ounces; from Ophir,. 29 ditto; from
Bathurst, 398 ditto. Other arrivals by the regular mail,
during the same week, amounted to eight hundred and
ninety-one ounces. The Turon mines are exhausted,
and some points are now entirely deserted, caused by the
numerous discoveries recently made• in other points.
The Hamburgh mail of Friday last, quotes the rate of
exchange on London at 13 64, being steady. Money
was more abundant. The house of Emanuel and Son
had failed for about 120,0001, and their suspension was
attributed to the steppage of a London firm.

WHITS UN AMUSEMENTS.

HAYMARKE r THEATRE.
There was no novelty produced hero last night, but
on Wednesday a very rare piece of fun is expected.
The bill, therefore, for Whit4.tionday was nearly si-
milar to what it has been every night since Easter,
the amusing comedy, Mind Your then Business,
followed by the extravaganza 0 Gemini, and closing
with that most diverting of farces Box and Cox. The
performances of last night obviously for no re-
mark. The pieces in question have been repeated
over and over again, and still produce merriment.
Now that the manager has dismissed his operatic
corps, he is at liberty to pay batter attention to his
acting pieces, which, after all, it is the more legitimate
vocation of the Haymarket to cultivate.

ADELPHI THEATRE.
The entertainments consisted of Sea and Land;
Mephistophiles, and Did you ever Send your Wtfe to
Camberwell, three good specimens of melodrama, ex-
travaganza, and farce. All the talent of the establish-
ment was put into requisition. Mr. Mark Leman's
melodrama is one of the most effective pieces of its
class which the Adelphi has produced. The acting of
Mrs. Keeley as the wild, half-brutalised girl, is one
of those picturesque portrayals which the highest
kind of histrionic genius can alone evolve. As a
piece of personation it is unequalled, and it should
not be overlooked by those who know low to appre-
ciate transcripts so life-like and so suggestive. The
accomplished Miss Woo}gar appeared in the Mephis-
tophiles—a piece well calculated to exhibit her versa-
tility ; and Wright came out i❑ his fullest force in the
farce. The house was crowded.

PRINCESS'S THEA. FRE.
A very crowded audience attended last evening
the performance of this favourite and fashionable
house. Although the Corsican Brothers has now
been before the public for many weeks it seems to
have lost none of its interest, indeed it is one of the
few dramas of the present day which will bear wit-
nessing more than once. The characters, yesterday
evening, were sustained with the usual ability and
effect of Messrs. Kean and Wigan. The various
points of the piece told with undiminished fresh-
ness upon the audience, and its striking situa-
tions and effective and beautiful scenes received their
usual meed of applause. The comedy entitled A
Lucky Friday, by Mr. A. Wigan, afforded full
scope to the Inimitable acting of its author, who, in
the character of a superstitious old gentleman,
dis-
play ed by turns the querulous impatience and genuine
benevolence of the old emigre, with all that ver-
satility of talent, which (in genteel comedy) 'places
him at the head of his profession. The fairy extrava-
ganza of Wittihind and his Seven Brothers, which
has had a most successful run since- Easter, concluded
the entertainment. The most beautiful stage picture
we have ever seen is that presented in this fairy piece
by Miss Carlotta Leclercq, when, as the Princess
Melusine, she is seen upborne by the seven swans, in
their escape to Marchenland. The fair and graceful
artiste, in • her aerial flight, presents a very happy
subject for the painter's skill. On Wednesday Mr.
Wigan takes his benefit, we wish it were nbt a
" farewell " one. A new comedy is underlined for
Monday next, the 7th.

LYCEUM THEATRE.
The indisposition of Madame Vestris occasioned
last night an alteration in the performances at this
theatre. Instead of the Chain of Events, the Game
of Speculation was unexpectedly restored to the bills;
and in which Mr. Charles Mathews played his popu-
lar part of Mr. Affable Hawk with all his wonted
ease and enjoyment. Many were the nights that it
was played prior to the production of the Easter
spectacle; and judging by the spirit with which it
went off last night, it would seem that it is now be-
ginning a fresh career of popularity. The cast was
nearly the same as formerly—Mr.'Frank Matthews,
Mr. Robert Roxby, Mr. Suter, Mr. Charles Horn,
and MiSs Oliver sustaining their original parts; the
only alteration being as regards Mr. Morris, who
succeeds poor little Oxberry as the lacquey Thomas.
*The comedy was preceded by Forty and Fifty, and
the entertainments terminated witti The Practical
Man,

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
The engagement of Madlle. Rose Cherie came to
n termination last night. The performances in
which she took her leave were Yelva, and Brutus
lache Cesar. Her pantomime in the former piece
was admirable ; and not less so her drawing-
room grace in the latter. Her Majesty and
Prince Albert were present. Ou Friday night Mr.
Mitchell, promises us Levassor, who, in his peculiar
line, is:initaiitable. The German Plays begin on Wed-
nesday ; and on Friday morning Madlle. Emilie Var.
dermeerich gives a séance in the saloon of the theatre,
in which her learned birds will exhibit their various
pretty docilities. Toe Tyrolean Minstrels are also
to be met with occasionally at the St. James's
Theatre—minstrels who anjay the especial patronage
of the Court and the beau monde. Mr. Mitchell is
truly an indefatigable as well as tasteful caterer to
the public enjoyment.
SADLER'S WELLS.
The vocalists of Drury-lane have migrated to
Sadler's Wells Theatre, where, under the rule of Miss
P. Horton, they propose to play a round of popular
operas. The experiment began last night with the
ditably embodied by s Louita Pyne, Mr. W.
English version of the was'a, which was cre-
Harrison, and Mr. Whitworth—a company of artists
of very superior qualifications, and who we regret to
see thus driven into a secluded theatre. Tbe singieg
last night, we need hardly observe, was exceedingly
good. Miss Louisa Pyne, whose facility ripens with
her experience, was in her best voice, and warbled the
melodic strains of Amine, with a skill and beauty to
which we have had but few parallels on the English
stage. She was rapturously encored in the last aria.
Mr. H.' Whitworth made, his first appearance at this
theatre in the character of Count Rodolph, which he
interpreted with vigour and consistency, while his
singing drew down repEated applause. Mr.
W. Harrison effectively took the part of Elvino,
and Miss Julia Bleaden that of Lisa. The chorus
and orchestra are not large, and are therefore
incapable of giving
a perfectly satisfactory rendering
of operatic music, but their numbers are suited to the
size and general appointments of the theatre, and
their performances, 5o fur as they go, are commend-
able. La Sonnambula was succeeded by the little
burletta of Midas, in which Miss Rebecca Isaacs, as
Apollo, sang
some comic airs with great effect. On
the whole, we heartily wish success to this unassum-
ing bat spirited and praiseworthy effort of Miss
Horton, and we trust that the list of popular pieces
announced by the management will continue to draw
as crowded houses as that which assembled last even-
ing on the occasion of the first essay at English
opera.

ROYAL MARIONETTE THEATRE.
Mr. Albany BroWn is driving a flourishing business
at this most elegant little place of recreation. The
inimitable puppets bad a fair share of holiday patronage
yesterday. There was novelty in the shape of a new
drama of the burlesque order, entitled Punch a la Ro-
maine; or, a Classical 4:ducation. There -is tin in
deletion smartly written, in which the ghost of Dr..
Johnson takes part in a punning conversation with
Punch and other personages, and this is followed by
a travestie pleasantly ludicrous of the story of Vir-
ginius and his daughter. The drama was well acted
by the lignean artistes,
.and well received by the
audience. The ebony performers were bailed
with rapture on their re-appearance as their clever•
ru,,,s deserves, and the Italian pantomime, Il Nano del
V?Vagio, is quite a marvel of puppet agility and
saltatorial grace. The exceedingly clever artist who
paints the scenery and contrives the. figures, Signor
Brigaldi, deserves that his name should be specially
mentioned; for both as artist and machinist his talent
is remarkable. 'The performances concluded with the
grand" spectacle' of Aladdin: -

ASTLEY'S A.MPHITHEATRE.
The spectacle of St George and the Dragon-' - or,'
the • Seven Champions of thristendom, was played
with becoming pomp and splendour in this ever popular
theatre. The part of St. Gedrge was allotted to Mr.
Alfred Cooke, who acquitted himself very well, espe-
cially in his repeated•encnunters with the dragon.
Saints Andrew, Patrick, David, Denis, Anthony, and
James, bad little to do beyond forming a part in one
or two of the tableaux. Tom of Coventry, a tinker,
and 'afterwards St. George's esquire, was played by
Mr. Barry, who enacted the character with his usual
George, Was
