had a good demand for Cotton to-day, and yesterday's
prices have been fully maintained. The sales were
5,000 bags.
The private letters from Philadelphia received this
morning, state that oce of the failures there amounted,
to 600,000 dollars—a wholesale grocer. Business was
dull. Money scarce there at 2 per cent. per month.
The settling of the Foreign Account to the present
hour appears to be going off well, as we do not hear of
any failures.

Money is exceedingly scarce both in the British and

MARRIAGE OF THE QUEEN.—The moment-
ous affair of the marriage of her Majesty is at last a"
ranged ; indeed, all is settled, as far as the part
ie
themselves are concerned, except as to " the when.
Preparations for some time past have been making at
the Castle for the reception of Prince Albert (the des-
tined husband of the Queen), who, with his younger
brother (and some say his father), is expected to arrives
on a visit to her Majesty, in the course of the ensuing
week, perhaps to-morrow, or Tuesday. Grand doing'
and entertainments upon an extensive and magnificent
scale are then in contemplation. It appears that her
Majesty has been " husbanding her resources," in this
respect, for some time past, which will account fa. nn:
royal dinners, or even a ball, having been given °flat
her Majesty's last visit to Windsor. The parties
her
the Royal table have been hitherto confined to
Majesty's suite, and some few of the resident nnb'iltl
and gentry. We are assured that the attachment'
the part of her Majesty, is not of short duration ; ore
upwards of a year and a half ago, a portrait of tb!
Queen, painted by Chalon, was transmitted by command
of her Majesty to the young Prince, then, we believe,
at Brussels. It is a well known fact—at least, well
known to all about the Court, who have had access to
her Majesty—that the affair was originally " got up'
by the King of the Belgians, and his sister, the Duchess
of Kent, aided by the Baroness Lehzen, who has been
no unimportant personage as an actor in the drama
which is now so near approaching its termination.—

ENGLISH OPERA HOUSE.—A very young lady'
named Corro, a pupil of the Royal Academy, made ber
first appearance here on Saturday, as Rosins, in Die
Barber <f Seville. Her voice is a soprano, swehetr
and flexible, and has been cultivated with care ; t
execution reflects much credit on the taste and judgmen
of those who have had the charge of her musical eclair'
tion. The piece was not well cast ; yet notwithstand-
ing the inefficient support she received, and the diffieenc°
and anxiety natural to a young and modest performers
she gave great promise of future success, and Wall ells
thusiastically and repeatedly cheered by a numerond
audience. Her voice is of considerable et:AV ; Mir
though her carriage and manner are somewhat stiff, be

at

tremor and bashfulness almost always incident to a fi.r,.

enthusiastically encored.

THE DOCTRINE OF CHANCES.

(O'CONNELL LOQUITUR.)

" The Repeal agitation, once well set on foot, will have
the Doctrine of Chances in its favour."-- Vide O'Connell's
Lett.,, to the Dublin Trades' Union, inserted in The Sun
of this day.

Harrah for Repeal, boys ! 'twill spread like a vine,
When once it has fairly ta'en root.
'For the Doctrine of Chances, to me and to mine
So favouring ever, will quickly combine
To give it a strength little short of divine—,
So, up, boys, and set it on foot I
Perhaps the young Queen may give up the dislike
To the Question she now entertains;
Perhaps my Lord Bishop may play the boy Smike,
While we play his schoolmaster, Squeers,* with a pike,
And instead of resisting, or daring to strike,
May succumb to our Hampdens and Vanes !
Perhaps in the Commons, alarmed at our skill,
The Whig may combine with the Tory,
And wheedle the Lords to consent to a Bill,
(Which they'll swallow, no doubt, like a colocynth pill)
To let every Irishman do what he will,
And leave him alone in his glory ! fi

Perhaps in some foreign political traps
John Bull may fall bead over heel;—
So, shout out " Hurrah," boys, and fling up your caps,
For, rely on't, ere long some convenient " Perhaps,"
Will further the Cause of Repeal I

COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.

This Theatre has been re-decorated : the interior
Presents a light and elegant appearance : the gilding
has been thoroughly cleaned, and the panels of the
boxes frosh painted, colours white, relieved with pile
Pink. The beautiful chandelier has been cleaned, and
fifty new jets for additional gas-lights have been added.
The lustres round the dress circle, fourteen in number,
have been fitted up for wax candles, and are very ele-
gant. The boxes have been fresh lined with crimson
moreen, and chairs have been substituted for benches
in the dress circle. The paper at the back of the
dress circle is a rose-colour scroll-pattern, on a pale
yellow ground, which we do not think in good taste.
The private boxes are lined with a chintz pattern
Paper on a white ground, which looks neat. The lobby
at the back of the dress circle is very elegant, the
colours pale yellow and French grey, relieved by a
handsome scroll bordering of rose colour. This
sPartnaent, which is excusively for the visitors
tA the dress circle, is splendidly lighted with
' IZas. At the entrance to the boxes there is a
handsome new or-molu chandelier, and eight elegant
scroll branches suspended between the pillars on the
staircase, each containing two argand burners. The
waiting-room for half-price visitors has been handsomely
decoratedc and two handsome chandeliers suspended
from the ceiling. The upper gallery has been closed
"Ps and the front now forms part of the ceiling. The
green-room is now white : the walls are covered with
beat chintz-pattern paper on a white ground ; the
carpet is to match, and the seats are covered with
striped glazed calico. We cannot close this short no-
tice without complimenting the good taste displayed by
the persons employed in fitting up and lighting this
theatre. An alteration has been made in the prices of
admission. The prices are hereafter to be 7s. the dress-
boxes, ss. the upper boxes, pit 35., and the gallery
Is. 6d. The upper gallery is to be altogether dispensed
ahead with. Every place in the boxes for this evening has
lessees y been taken, and we have no doubt that the new
will meet with the most encouraging reception.
We may notice, by the way, that the old system of
cards to the newspapers has been reverted to at Covent-
Garden. The inconvenience of this exploded arrange-
ment is no doubt not understood by the management ;
butit renders the privilege of comparatively e value,
and by the other mode of written ordersve verylittl few addi-
tional persons are nightly introduced to the theatre.
Thus additional trouble is given without any material
corresponding advantage.—Obserrer.
[We entirely concur in the remarks of our Contem-
porary about the exploded system adverted to in the
last paragraph. It does not in the slightest degree
benefit the lessee, and causes needless inconvenience and
disappointment to the editors and the reporters who
have to criticise the performances.—En. SUN.]
C

ORN-LAW CONSERVATIVES.

BRILL, FRIDAY.—A number of the Conservatives of
the northern division of Buckinghamshire, and of the
supporters of the Corn-law, resident in this district,
dined together yesterday at the Sun Inn here. Up-
wards of 180 gentlemen sat down to dinner. The chair
was Laken by John Stone, Esq. Amongst those pre-
sent were his Grace the Duke of Buckingham, Mr.
Dupre, M.P. ; Sir Alexander Croke, Bart., Mr. Gran-
Vale Pigot, Mr. Croke, the Reverend G. Chetwood,
&c.
The Duke of BUCKINGHAM, after dinner, delivered a
speech in which he condemned Ministers and 1 —led
the party to which he himself belonged, complacently
congratulating the Conservatives on their growing
strength and national importance. But the only part
of his Grace's harangue worth transcribing, is the fol-
lowing allusion to the tax on bread, which the Duke and
his fellow-favourers wring from the hard hand of
honest industry. He called on those assembled
to stand by the Corn-laws, which were, in fact,
the main props of the Constitution, for without them
no justice could be done to the labourers—they could
not be paid a proper amount of wages, nor could the
firmer himself receive a remunerating price for his out-
lay of capital and exertion. If, then, the farming inte-
rests of the country were not so supported as to enable
themthe to In,itiutain that tranquillity and content amongst
agricu Aural labourers which the manufacturing ope-
ratives I'.ad failed to exhibit, then the stability of the
throne, and of the Constitution of the empire, would have
rikeeci.ved a very severe blow. Although there were many
rtiled in opposition to the agricultural classes on these
Aunts, yet there were also very many with them, and
'the more the subject was canvassed, the more would
those who considered it admit that they were entitled to
the very moderate claims they made to such a degree of
liProtection as would afford them .merely a fair remunera-
on for their labour and expended capital.—(Hear,
17°4%) If the Corn-laws were abolished, this would not
the case, for the foreigner would be able to undersell
the English farmer in the English market, and this
Would involve the latter in absolute and inevitable ruin.
Hear.) The farmers had so many local burthens to
bear in addition to the amount of general taxation in-
flicted on them, which foreigners had not to bear, that
surely required some protection to counteract these
tditadvantages.—.( Hear.) Of one matter, however, they
°tittl
Ilight feel assured, that he would always fight the
e of the agricultural interests in these respects,
notwithstanding all the obloquy which had been cast
L,IIP°II him from different quarters for the part he had
aken on their behalf.--(Loud cheering.)
A.

- general and strong feeling prevails against
F,licsitag the one shilling gallery at Covent-garden. It
is considered ungenerous towards those who see
,I:en a part of the performances, and cannot afford to
.1110 more than sixpence. No one can be admitted now
for less than a shilling.
h :The Adelphi Theatre opens this evening. The
iPal attractions yet announced are 'Mr. Hackett
and Mr. Rice, the American performers.
We feel great pleasure in recording, in our co-
sil nins of this week, the re-appointment of our excellent
nt`ll°vvstownsman, Mr. Thurtell, to active service, as
Lieutenant of her Majesty's ship San Josef. This ap-
intment we regard as nothing more than a tardy act
tlf justice to one of the most highly meritorious officers
of the British Navy, who, in our opinion (an opinion
founded on facts), ought to have received his promotion
eighteen years since. The facts to which we refer,
and which are not so extensively known, as they
deserve to be, even among the members of his own
profession, relate to several very important and efficient
services, which be rendered to our ally, the King
of Naples in the year 1820, when in command of the
Racer. These services, which by greatly facilitating
als accommodation between the two .1
the Neapolitan States, very materially aided the pre-
'vention of tumult and massacre, were so highly and
Justly appreciated by the Sovereign of those
to induce him to apply to the Britishernment for
States as
Gov
Mr. T.'s promotion. But not only did this gentleman's
conduct, on the occcasion referred to, entitle him to
the distinguished gratitude and esteem of a
lnonarch in alliance with Great Britain, but to those
of the British residents at Palermo ; to whose per-
sous and properties he secured protections at a crisis
When both were exposed to the most imminent risk and
Peril. A letter from these gentlemen lies before us, in
‘vnich they express their deep sense of obligation for
t
ot teemptitude, exertions, and zeal which he displayed
—.r behalf, in language equally. honourable to the
!mess, and to the party to whom it is addressed. We
'lave
theyonl to add the expressions of our confident hope,
e Lieutenant T.
that dmiralt will speedily rais •
h
to a nigherpersuaded, would at once do honour to themselves, and
stimulate the junior officers of her Majesty's Navy to
Upire to promotion, as the reward of able, skilful, and
