HA YMARKET THEATRE.

After a long and severe indisposition, which has
incapacitated him from following his professional
pursuits for upwards of twelve months, Mr. James
Wallack re-appeared here last evening, in his favou-
rite character of Don Caesar de Bazan, and performed
it with all the devil-may-care yet graceful reckless-
ness which rendered his personation of this character
so superior to that of any of his contemporaries, aye,
even to that of the great Frederick Lemaitre himself'.
He seemed completely re-established in health, and
his spirits were, as they always are, excellent. His
reception was great—such a:reception as should
always greet such a deserved favourite after so long
an absence. He was called for at the conclusion of
the piece, and again welcomed back to the scene of
his many triumphs. The piece was excellently cast,
Miss Julia Bennett made a most interesting Maritana,
and Miss P. Horton is far end away the best Lazarillo
that has ever appeared. The house was crowded.

ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE, LIVIRPOOL.—The Royal
Amphitheatre was a centre of attraction last week.
Amongst the late productions, we may mention that of
Fazio, Miss Cushman playing the part of Bianca.
The applause at the fall of the curtain was so great that
Mr. Copeland, the manager, announced the re-engage-
ment of Miss Cushman during the present week. On
Monday she personated the character of Romeo to a
crowded house. The pantomime of Mother Goose con-
tinues in high favour with the Liverpool folks.
THE BRAZILS.—LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.—We have
advices from Pernambuco to the 2d ult. by the Esther
Ann, Captain Hunter, arrived at this port. There is
nothing particular to note in commercial matter:. Ex-
change on England 25d.; freights, 665. per ton for sugar,
and id. per lb. for cotton. The Swordfish, Captain
Green, hence, had arrived at Pernambuco.
LONDON COFFEE AND EATING-HOUSE KEEPERS'
ASSOCIATION.—Last evening the members of the above
association celebrated their annual ball, and had also a
theatrical benefit at the Eagle Tavern, City-road. The
performance selected for the occasion was the opera of
The Ladder of Love, a farce, and the pantomime.
The performance commenced at seven o'clock,
by which time the saloon was filled in every
part. At the conclusion of the opera, Mr. Camp-
bell, the active manager, addressed the audience,
briefly stating the objects of the association, and thank-
ing the company for so large an amount of patronage
(on behalf of the committee and stewards), and stating
that the funds would be much benefited by the even-
ing's amusements. At nine o'clock, the elegant ball-
room was thrown open to a numerous party of
the lovers of Terpsichore, and dancing was con-
tinued with much animation throughout the night.
Clapp's band was in attendance, and Mr. Gross (who
kindly volunteered his services gratuitously), was
a most efficient M. C. At one o'clock the company
adjourned to the large room, adjoining the Hall of
Nations, where breakfast was laid for two hundred
persons, and liberally furnished with every require-
ment ; and the arrangements throughout reflect the
highest praise upon the proprietor, Mr. Rouse, who
allowed the whole resources of the establishment to be
made available for the company, to render them
delighted and happy, and which was duly appreciated
by the guests, who seperated, at a late hour in the
morning, highly gratified with the entertainments. Mr.
French, the president, with Mr. Kirton and several
other active friends, exerted themselves most efficiently
in attending to the comforts of their numerous ft iends.
FIRE AT COBHAM HALL, THE SEAT OF LORD
DARNLEY.—This noble and ancient building has had a
narrow escape from destruction by fire. Yesterday
morning, about ten o'clock, flames were seen issuing
from a chimney of a room adjoining the library, and
before they could be got under the chimney exploded,
and part of the burning mass fell into the room below,
which presently ignited; but fortunately a small engine,
kept upon the premises, was promptly brought into ope-
ration by the domestics, and the fire was extinguished
before it had communicated to any other part of the
building ; and but for this provident circumstance, it
might have been our painful duty to record the fall of
QUe of the foot Waylaid wasiehe w thi,e

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was rather
dull, but previous rates were maintained. Sales 4,000 )
bales, of which 1,000 American were taken by expor-
ters, and on apt culation.—Railway shares were not
quite so active, but no material alteration occurred.
The letters by the American steamer were delivered
yesterday afternoon after our report was made, but they
add nothing important to the outline of news then giver,.
It is shown, however, that every large business is expected
to be done with England during the ensuing spring, and
that great preparations are making in consequence. We
trust, and we doubt not, that it will be mutually
beneficial. Apart from the new and impor-
tant resources open to the Americans by the
discovery of the Californian gold, we are satisfied that
the United States, from the abundance of its natural
products—products which are indispensable here—will
far more profit by an interchange with us for manu-
factures than by a ruinous attempt to force
manufacturing industry. Within the last two
years a large amount of capital has been lost by private
individuals and companies which have worked cotton-
mills and other establishments, and this, too, despite
the high protecting duty of 25, and even more, per
cent. upon textile fabrics. Under any circumstances
we shall need steady supplies of food, and the greater
our manufacturing activity, the better customers we be-
come to brother Jonathan for his cotton, &c. In truth,
therefore, he reaps the direct and immediate
benefit of an increased trade with the United King-
dom, and the more he spends for goods, the more he
will obtain for raw staples. There is no circumlocution
about the matter. We trust, therefore, to find the pro-
position just made in Congress forts, return to the restric-
tive principles of the 1842 tariff will not lead
to any unfavourable result. Indeed, we conceive that
whatever may be said upon the subject, the southern
states of North America will never submit to be taxed
for the gain of a few home manufacturers. They
defeated the 1842 scheme, and they have only to
be vigilant to do the same now. The bare
mooting of such old-fashioned ;doctrines shows the ur-
gent necessity of our keeping the American "home
trade," or in other terms Chinese exclusion advocates,
in reasonable check by fostering the growth of cotton in
India. We want wholesome rivalry, not monopoly, to
make it alike the policy, as it is the duty, of foreign
countries to act fairly in their trading relations, one with
the other.
Yesterday we noticed exclusively a matter which ere
long may engage some attention in England,. though at
present scarcely thought of, much less understood. We
allude to the proposed federation of the British North
American provinces. That it attracts attention on the
other side of the Atlantic, the following from a Boston
paper will show :
This important suggestion is copied into the Quebec
Gazette of the 15th inst., but without any remark which
would indicate the public sentiments of Canada in re-
gard to it. We are not aware that the question of con-
federation, with representation in the British Parlia-
ment, was ever agitated before in the North American
colonies. The union of the colonies under one Govern-
ment was first suggested, many years ago, by the Duke
of Kent, father of Queen Victoria, who resided some
time in Canada; and the late Earl of Durham, when
Governor-General of British North America, suggested
a general union of the provinces; but in neither case did
representation in Parliament enter into the plan."
In thel Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon there
was a fair business done. Bills at three months were
quoted 25.55 to 60 on Paris ; 12.2 to 2f on Amsterdam;
13.11 to 11 on Hamburgh ; 121 to 1211 on Frankfort;
and 11.27 to 30 on Trieste.
In the Corn Market business continues very dull, but
prices are not lower.
The English Stock Market has been very inactive to-
day, but has a firm appearance, and generally there is a
very favourable opinion entertained. It must be noted,
however, that some money stock has been sold this morn-
ing. Whether the present is a Bull or Bear account there
is the greatest difficulty in ascertaining, We have made
inquiries among various leading brokers and specula-
lators, but, like doctors, they generally differ. Judging
by the important rise that has occurred of late, we
might naturally infer that the speculators for a
rise had been operating most largely, but
there is always much involvement in these cases.
The operators for a fall might have been largely out
before, as it is said they were, and in such case would
buy back their accounts, and yet not always on the
other hand enter into new operations for the
rise. The uscal determining point is the amount
of stock taken for money, and there have been some
fair purchases recently that have given support. Upon
a continuance of these will depend the issue of the
next settlement, and the consideration is, whether
a decided revival of trade may not absorb a
good amount that has been invested in the Funds
during the prevalent dulness, or at least check further
investments at present. Consols have been 89 to all
the morning. Bank Stock is firm at 191. Exchequer-
bills are 435. to 465. premium. The New Three-and-
a Quarter per Cents. realise 89i
The Foreign Securities have been very quiet. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been 141; Portuguese Four per
Cents. are about 25f to 26i ; and Brazilian, small, 75k.
Grenada have touched 14 and 16. Mexican are 25 4 if.
Railway Shares, although very quiet, are firm. Great
Northern, North Stafford, &c., are better than yesterday.
