fine qualities for spinning ; Leaf at 4d to sd, and
Strips at 50 to 6d ; in descriptions suitab!e for euttieg
purposes there has been scarcely anything done. In
Kentucky Leaf and Strip), although the market has
been comparatively quiet, sales may be estimated at 600
hhds, nearly equal quantities of Leaf and Strips ; in
some instances a trifling advance has been submitted to
for selections of the latter. Maryland, a few hhds have
been taken at 5} to 6d. Stock almost bare. Ha-
vannah Leaf of fine quality has been in good
demand, but the limited stock of this descrip-
tion has prevented any business being done, ex-
cept of a retail character ; the quality of the new
crop, which has arrived, is considered by the trade as
very ord. In Havannah: Cigars the demand has been
very limited for all descriptions, and the trade have been
purchasers as in need ; a few cases of mid and ord have
been taken for exportation at low rates. Manilla
Cheroots have been in moderate request at previous
rates. Cuba of good and fine quality has been sold
at improved prices. In Columbian Leaf business
has been limited, and the trade have supplied
themselves as in need. St. Domingo, nothing done.
Havannah Seed Leaf, stock almost rare of tine quality.
Brazil has been neglected, although the stock has much
improved fin character by recent importations ; new
parcels generally are of mid and good quality. Porto
Rico Leat of mid quality for fillers has been in
demand, and taken at low prices. German Leaf
of good and fine descriptions has been in fair request,
at steady prices, parcels of ord, badly assorted, and
soft in condition, difficult of sale at low rates. In
.Amersfoot nothing done. In Negro Head and Caven-
, dish sales have been very limited, and almost confined
to small parcels for stores; for export very little done.
Prices are rather firmer for good and fine sorts. Com-
mon stalks are in fair demand. Virginia and Kentucky
scarce.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Miss Helen Faucit made her first appearance for
the season at this theatre last evening, in the cha-
racter of Pauline Deschappelles, in The Lady of
Lyons. Miss Helen Faucit originally made this
character, and perhaps it is not going too far to say
that that character also made Miss Helen Faucit.
At all events, it secured to her an undisputed supre•
macy as the heroine of young tragedy, a supremacy
which she has enjoyed without a rival up to the pre-
sent hour. She looked well, and acted the part, al
she always does, in the most interesting manner.
She was excellently supported by Mr. Creswick, as
Claude Melnotte, who acted the character with excel-
lent taste and judgment. We prefer his Claude Mel-
notte to Macready's. Equal to Macready's in power
and intensity, he has the advantage over his great
predecessor of youth. Mr. Creswick looks the yowl
and romantic enthusiast which Claude Melnotte 15
supposed to be. After the play Keeley and his clever
little wife made their first appearance before a Hay-
market audience, in the farce of Twice Killed, and
kept the house in a roar of laughter. The theatre
was very well attended.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.
After a short recess, this elegant little theatre
opened for the season last evening. Mr. Maddo%
seems determined to be " all at." Tragedy, corneal':
and opera are each to have a turn at this theatre, and
his company in each department is a strong one. For
tragedy we have Mr. Macready, Mr. Cooper, the
Misses and Miss Emmeline Montague; le
comedy Miss Emma Stanley, Mrs. Gordon, and the
accomplished artiste and truly Shaksperian actor,
Compton ; and for opera we have Madame Ano
Thillon, Miss A. Romer, and all our old favourites.
The theatre opened with Macbeth—Macready Of
course acting Macbeth, and Miss Cushman Lad/
Macbeth. On a former occasion we gave
as our opinion that the Lady Macbeth
Miss Cushman was the best which had been Beet
since the days of Mrs. Siddons, and her performance
of this most arduous character last night completely
confirms us in the opinion which we heretofore 0:
pressed. There is a terrible earnestness throughoo
her representation of the character, which enables the
spectator at once to realise the conception of Shalt'
spere. Never have we seen an actress exhibit such
intensity—such energy; and then the last scene'
the " Out, damned spot !" was thrilling in its- pathos.
Notwithstanding the horror which the crimes ,
Lady Macbeth had inspired, it was impossible not to fee'
for her while undergoing this agonizing punishment'
Macbeth is one of the best of Macready's Shaksperiell
impersonations, and he never acted better in his life
than he did last evening. Both he and Miss Cush'
man were called for at the conclusion of the tragedy'
Matthew Locke's music was superbly given. The
house, as might have been expected, was crowded 10
every part.
