PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

Miss Cushman appeared here last evening in the
character of Meg Merrilies, in the opera of Guy Man-
nering. She is far and away the best Meg Merrilies
who has ever appeared, and she never acted the
character better than last evening. The Dominie
Sampson of Compton was exceedingly rich ; it was
the nearest approach we have ever yet seen to Liston.
The comedy of The Wonder concluded the evening's
entertainment, with Miss Emmeline Montague as
Donna Violante. She acted the character beautifully.
The house was well attended.

ROME, OCT. 16.—0 n the 13th his Holiness the
Pope received to private audience with great benignity
his Serene Highness the Prince of Gonzaga-Mantua.
The Prince wore the magnificent uniform of Grand
Master of the Order of the Redemption, founded many
years since by the Dukes of Mantua.—Roman Advertiser.
INSITUTION FOR THE ADULT DEAF AND DUMB,
RED LION-SQUARE.—Yeaterday a meeting of the Com-
mittee of the above valuable charity was held at the
Board Room, 26, Red Lion-square, Bloomsbury. Mr.

plications had been made by clergymen in the provinces

pro-
posed at the annivertary meeting, presided over absy
Duke of Cambridge, was in progress, and had received
support from several members of theßoyal family, but
at the present time the general fund was of much greater
importance, the funds in hand being greatly inadequate
to the current expenses of the charity. The secretary
concluded by earnestly hoping that the charitable and
benevolent would step forward and enable the institu-
tion to mitigate the distress and misery which was so
greatly prevalent amongst the deaf and dumb of this
country. The report of last year, among other inte-
resting statistical matters, states that the income for the
year amounted to 1,5021. Os. 2d., and the expenditure
to a similar sum, including the payment of debts exceed-
ing 3801. During the same period temporary relief was
granted in upwards of 350 cases.
MR. CODDEN.—We learn, with very great pleasure,
that Mr. Cobden has recently been able to purchase the
°eternal property of his family in Sussex, which is con-
siderable, and which had passed into other hands. This
is a remarkable circumstance in the life of any man; for
it will be easily understood that a combination of favour-
able influences alone could accomplish such an Object.—

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER 10 THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was
firmer, the sales being 2,000 bales, with a good feeling.
Railway shares were also better.
From Liverpool the mercantile advices are of a
favourable character, and the idle reports current
for some time past respecting the position of dif-
ferent houses have been lulled in the assurance that
no solvent firm is now likely to be placed in difficulties.
The bankers are much more liberal, and it is said that
the applications for advances made to the Bank of Eng-
land have not been very numerous. The check given to
foreign loans and excessive railway expenditure is
likely to be very decidedly felt, as the " calls" for the
present month are only about a million and a half, and
probably these will be greatly in arrears.
It may be as well to note that the exchanges are not
likely to be quite so well supported, but that bullion is
still coming in quietly from the Continent.

The Stock Market has been very fluctuating, and
there is a difference of nearly one per cent. between the
highest and lowest quotations. Consols have ranged
from 834t0 821 for Transfer, and from 83ito 82k for
Time. Exchequer-bills have been 20s. to 15s. discount.
The New Three-and a•Quarter per cents. have been
831 to 82k. Bank Stock has ranged from 183 to 187.
The foreign securities are quite neglected. Mexican
are 17 to 17i. Chilian are 85 to 86k. Dutch Two-
and-a-Half per Cents. are at 53.
Railway Shares have; gone back again, the natural
result of a re action after the decided improvement of
yesterday.
