PERNAMBUCO, JUNE 15.
Cotton.—Our market, during the last month, has been
pretty well supplied with this staple, and the price has
been as low as 4 dolls.; it has, however, again advanced,
and there are may buyers at to-day's quotations. First
quality, 4,400 per arroba, or about 4d. per Pound.
Sugars.—This article has been much neglected of late,
and will no doubt continue so until more cheering ae:
counts are received of the state of Europe. The stock
on sale at present, independent of a large quantity al-
ready in shippers' hands, is not less than 2,500 cases
10,000 bags, and the holders of which, generally, would
be glad, we think, to part with it at our present reduced
prices. Cases,
,whites, 300 per arroba, above ferro, in
usual assortments and according to quality, about equal
to 13s. per cwt.; museovados, 500 per arroba, about equal
and
to 9s. pet cwt.-, ' barrels and bags, whites, first
seconds, very scarce, 2,000 per arroba, about equal to
16s. sd• per cwt.; common assortments, 1,600 per ar-
robs, about equal to 13s. 2d. per cwt.; low whites, 1,350
to -1,400 per arroba, about equal to I Is. ld. to 1 ls. 6d.
t • superior muscovado, or yellows, 1,200

-J0
per arroba, about equal to 9s. lid, to 10s. 4d, per cwt ;
uitiscovado average quality, 1,150 to 1,100 per arroba,
about equal to 9s. 6d. to 9s. Id. per cwt.; ditto, ordinary,
1,000 per arroba, about equal to Bs. 4d • per cwt. ,
Hicies.—Dry• salted, are in very limited request at
our quotations. Dry-salted 90 per lb., about 21d. per lb.
Ruin, 22, 56,000 to 53,000 per pipe.
Exchange.—Owing to the news from Europe and the
continued unsettled state of affairs, wiled to the accounts
from Rio, where a considerable decline in the rate of
exchange had taken place, ours has also experienced a
further decline, and first•rate paper is not obtainable to-
day at 24d., at which even bills are
scarce.sc
Freights.—There is not at presnt single English
vessel in port disengaged. The last rate given to the
Channel and a market in the United Kingdom Was 41.,
and 5 per cent. per ton for sugar in bags, 101. additional
if sent to a port on the continent between Havre and
Harnburgh. Sugar, in cases, 15 per cent. higher. Cot-
ton to Liverpool id. to ld., and 5 per cent. per lb. Sugar
ballast 655. to 70s. per ton. For the Mediterranean and
Trieste or to any continental port direct there has been
nothing doing of late. The above rates for English ves-
sels arc still obtainable.

The Emigration Commission yesterday appointed
a vessel to be dispatched from Deptford on the 21st of
August, with 400 emigrants, to Twofold Bay, New
South Wales! On the 28th of August a like number
will bo dispatched for Adelaide, South Australia,
making a total of 1,400 emigrants, exclusive of chil-
dren, to leave London during the ensuing month.

LYCEUM THEATRE.

Last night the performances at this elegant little
theatre were "by special desire." It was expected that
the Queen would have honoured the house with her
presence on• the occasion. Her Majeity, however, did
not fulfil that general expectation. Prince Albert and
suite, nevertheless, attended, arriving shortly before the
conclusion of the excellent new ftirce Poor Pillict:drly,
which commenced the performances of the evening.
The Beggar's Opera (L'Opera du Gueux, as it wet.
styled in the French version, produced successfully in
Paris) followed, and was, in all respects, admirably
represented. Miss Kathleen Fitzwilliatu won repeated
and hearty applause in the character of Polls.
Peachum, and Madame Vestris was likewise
very effective as Lucy Lockit. Mr. Ilurrisott
was again an able Captain Macheath. Tne Prieto
was evidently much interested and amused by this
popular and clever play, which passed off wish great
Mai. Its points and designs continue to tell with the
multitude. It is still readily recognised as a laughable
ridicule of the musical Italian drama, and ns what Swift
well described as a " Newgate Pastoral." Congreve
gave the opinion, before its production, that it would
" either take greatly or be damned confoundedly." It
is needless to indicate which of the two fates it incurred.
Certainly, last night, it " took greatly," and delighted
the audience from first to last. The entertainments
closed with a repetition of the laughable extravaganza
of Blue Beard—very efficiently " re•wived" at this
theatre. The Princo Consort quitted at the termination
of the opera. It should be mentioned, too, that Mr.
Harrison had to lead Madame Vestris and Miss Fitz•
William before the curtain at the end of the performance,
in obedience to the earnest demands of the company.
The theatre was crowded.
