PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

A new dramatic opera in two acts, called Robin
Goodfellow, the music by Mr. Edward Loder, was
produced last night, with entire success. The com-
poser, who presided in the orchestra, and th'3 principal
singers were re-called at the end and enthusiastically
applauded. The house was crowded. We shall
enter into further particulars on a future occasion.

LEOMINSTER.—Mr. John George Phillimore, of
the Oxford Circuit, has announced himself as a candidate
for the borough of Leominster, on Liberal principles.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

C/1 Y, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Gals s of Cotton at Liverpool yesierdoy were esti-
mated at 5,000 bales, as follows, viz., 4,009 American, it
3FI. to 6d ; 100 Bahia, at 4P. to sd; 150 Etjptian, at
sp. to 61d.; 400 Surats, '4(l. to 31,1.; and 30 Sea
Islands, at lid. to 10d. The market citsed fiat mly, but
nth little animation. The Railway Share Mtri-ket was
rather better, and all the leading stock in good c'emaed
at 1 revious prices.
The accounts from abroad are rather meagre, the bad
weather having prevented arrivals. French affairs are
now watched with most anxiety, and still the predomi-
nant feeling is in favour of Cavaignac.
Notwithstanding the reiterated statement in some
quarters that the Bank of England will this day reduce
the rate of discount, we believe we may state that no such
intention exists; but at the same time we shall take due
cure to keep our readers advised of what occurs.
A report upon the Metal market comes acceptably to
hand from a leading bioker in London (Mr. Short).
In this we are Infoimed that Welch iron continues in
limited demand, and the price has considerably declined
during the month, sales of good makes having 'yea
eff,ctcd (hut it is said not by makers) at 41. Iss. per
ton, tree on hoard in Wale.; and while 5/. to 51. ss. per
ton is the general price asked, every desire is evinced to
meet the market, if the doing so would induce orders.
Scotch Pig Iron at
.Glasgow is quoted in the market
!here about 415., assorted 3-5 No. 1, and 2-5 No. 39
F. 0. 8., immediate cash, against storekeepers' warrants
or makers' undertakings ; but the makers' price for
early delivery is, according to make, from 2s. to 4s. per
ton above this price. But little progress has Yet
been made towards the accumulation of stock At
Glasgovf, and a fair business is done daily for
consumption. There is not much demand for export,
as the late American advices announce a decline there,
with some increase of stocks. In the absence of export
orders, an increase of stock in makers' hands is expected
during the winter. Dealers, both here and at Liverpool,
are however but sparingly supplied.
In Swedish Iron thpre is scarce any business doing;
the stook here is smaW
Copper is iu lair nemand; the shipments to India dor*
ing the last month, it will be perceived, are consider-
able, amounting in all to 473 tons.
Tin—English common is in fair demand. Refilled
continues extremely scarce. Banca Tin, admissible to
home consumption, is held at 865., while for Banca jot'
ported from Holland, and which can only be sold for
exportation, the price asked is 765. The present stock
of Banca and S, rafts is about 200 tons.
Tin Plates are still scarce, while the demand continue;
good, very large parcels having been recently purchased,
chiefly for the United States.

Lead—English is in mcderate demand for home con'
sumption, but not for export. Spanish of middling
quality has been sold at 14/. 10s. per ton, duty paid, and
for superior qualities 15/. ss. per ton is asked.
Spelter on the spot is in little request, and WO
slight business has been done at 14/. 155. per ton, and
for larger quantities it might be possible to get on at *
shade lower. The present stock is 2,550 tons, against
2,235 tons at same period last year. For spring deli'
very 151. per ton is asked, at which figure and at 141. 151'
business has been done.

There are some symptoms of the Consol account
being Bulli-sh, but the Bank is said to be affording
liberal accommodation on stock. The " continn:
ation" to January rather increases, and should
the sales of Stock be carried much further before
"settling" day, money will be in greater request among
the jobbers. It is impossible to say whether the sales
made, and which are for delivery, are really on account
of the loan. Parties most entitled to credit affiral
that they are so ; but others, who dislike the
idea, give a contrary opinion. The New Three:
and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 86i to 861 t
az d the Three per Cents. 86i to Exchequer•
bills have been 38s. to 415., and India Bonds under 1,0004,
38s. premium.

'ilia Foreign Securities have been very quiet. Spanisl!
Five per Cents. are nominally 111 to 12, and Portuguese
Four per Cents., 24 to 25. Mexican are 21k to VP
Brazil Stock has been at 73 to 75. Russian Bonds We
realised 1011. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per COO'
are 4il.
Railway Shares are very fairly supported at the
proved values of yesterday. South-Eastern are flatter.
