MONEY and COMMERCIAL NE~r`a.

(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.)
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was from 6,000
to 7,C30 bales, at steady rates.—Shares were much the same.
The sales of cotton for the week were 43,010 hates.

There has been rather an uneasy feeling excited in the
Portuguese trade by the reported embarrassment of a firm
connected with Lisbon, which has been disappointed of its
usual remittance, owing to the serious embarrassment oc-
casioned by the unwise suspension of the bank there.
The returns of the average assets and liabilities of the Bank
of England during the week to the Ist inst., offers the fol.
lowing features

Dining the present week, however, permission has been
obtained from the Court of Chancery to receive back an im-
mense discount of railway deposits,
Accounts of March 31 have been received from
Sydney. They are almost exclusively occupied with
the details of the extraordinary discoveries made in the
course of Dr. Leichhardt's journev in,the interior of Australia,
which occupied eighteen montlis, the distance as the crow
flies being 1,500 miles, but, as actually trodden, nearly 3,000
miles. There were found to be large waterpools, numerous
rivers, a fertile soil, and, in short, everything adapted to
render a country available to settlers, and the most interest-
ing results are expected. A testimonial was to be presented,
and if the result answers the expectations of the colonists,
Dr. Leichbardt will be as fairly entitled to the gratitude of
the world as the list of her warriors and statesmen.
There is a very dull market for the Public Securities, and
the quotations are without any buoyancy. Consols have
been marked 953,1 to 957, and the New 'llaree-and-a-Quar-
ter per Cents, are 977 to 98. Exchequer-bills have receded
to 10s. and 6s. premium.
In the Foreign Market there is scarcely anything doing.
Portuguese are heavy, at the decline to 38V2, but for Account
have alternated from 33% to 40. Shares range lower
generally.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
FRENCH FLAYS.

Alexander Soumet's Jeanne d'Arc, originally produced at
the Odeon in 1825, with Mademoiselle Georga as the
heroine, and after a very moderate success shelved for
20 years, and revived at the Theatre Francaise in February
last for Madlle. Rachel, was produced here on Friday evening.
M. Soumet is a classicist of the severest school, and has
treated this, an essentially romantic subject, in so thoroughly
classical a style, that he has actually made an uninteresting
play out of, perhaps, the most interesting subject that
could fall into the hands of an author. Trus to the rules
of the unities, be opens his play on the last day of the life of
the Maid of Orleans. It is true that the speeches of Jeanne
D'Arc are in many instances very impassioned, and in these
inorceaux Rachel revelled. The scene in which she
upbraids the Duke of Burgundy for his treason,
and at length so works on his feelings and
patriotism that she actually detaches him front the English
cause wassuperlAy given. There was something appallingin the
terrific energy which Rachel threw into this scene, but on the
whole the play is heavy—a last dying speech and confession,
continued through five long acts, must necessarily be so
The stage effect, at the conclusion, was admirably managed.
Jeanne d'Arc ascends the pile, which, as she utters her last
words, is lighted, and as the flames ascend she faints, and
the curtain falls. The house was crowded, and Rachel was
of course called for at the conclusion of the tragedy.
