MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was very
firm again. Sales, 9,000 bales, of which 3,000 were
American on speculation. The rise has been *d. per lb.
in American and Surat since last Friday, and the range
of prices for the former yesterday was from 4d. to sp.,
and for the latter 3id. to &id. per lb. In Shares there
was not a great deal doing.
The arrival of the steamer from Halifax is now hourly
expected, though the usual punctuality with such wea-
ther as has recently been experienced cannot reasonably
be expected.
We adverted yesterday to the important question of
the supply of food for the straitened population of the
United Kingdom, and we have had occasion likewise to
express our belief that undoubtedly, important as it is to
secure early 'and ample supplies, there has been
every effort used to enhance prices beyond their
proper limit. The following insight into the affairs on
the other side of the Atlantic will serve to corroborate
our views. The party writes :—" It therefore, sp•
pears, that the surplus agricultural products of the
United States, will be required to feed the popula-
tion of almost every part of Europe, and we have no
doubt but that every barrel of flour and bushel of
grain we can spare, will he required to meet the demand
from abroad for actual consumption. This demand
will, of course have a very great and very favourable
influence uron prices, and we have no doubt they will
advance to a higher point than has been realised for a
long time. It is very probable that there will from time
to time be a reaction in the advance, and speculators
will, without doubt, suffer serious losses; but the result
of a very extensive exe real demani for our bread stuffs,
must be a very great improvement in prices. There are
bulls and bears in the corn markets, as well as in the
stock markets, and while one party is striving to put up
prices, the other is making efforts to put them down.
Flour is sold short, as well as fancy stocks, and n t one
half of the sales reported from day to day, are bon et fide
—not one barrel in a hundred reported as sold changes
hands, and there is, therefore, apparently more activity
in the market than what really exists.
.\
On all hands we hear of satisfaction being expressed
at the very unequivocal terms in which the Committee
of Spanish American bondholders have expressed their
entire concurrence in the conversion as effected by Mr.
Murphy, and of his undeniable authority to carry out the
same according to the plan adopted, which, in no respect,
imposes any additional burden upon the Mexican Govern-
ment—nay, not even to the extent of a farthing. With such
unscrupulous men, however, at the head of the affairs of
' the republic, as Santa Anna and his colleagues, have
shown themsell es to be, this " little" matter of finance,
and the mortification they exhibit at the loss of the
" nice pickings" they expect for themselves whenever a
conversion takes place, we cannot expect the value of the
Bonds to be advanced, or even supported. They have
to-day been marked 22 to *. Spanish Five per Cents.
have been quoted 258, and the Three per Cents have
receded from 37* to 368. Portuguese Four per Cents.
have been quoted 39. Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents.
are 59* to t.
There have been one or two heavy sales effected in
the English Stock market, and the consequence is rather
a decided, though perhaps merely temporary, reaction
in prices. Cousols have been done at 941 for present
Transfer, and at 94i for Time, having opened at 948
for the former, and 948 to 95 for the latter. The
premium on Exchequer-bills has been also reduced as
low as 9s. to 12s. Bank Stock is not higher than 204 k
to 2054. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. are
951 to .11.
Shares have been generally good again, and the in-
creased business done in Edinburgh, has reacted fa-
vourably here, especially the Caledonian, Aberdeen, and
North British. Dudley and Birmingham are,favourites
this morning, in conjunction with the Birmingham and
Oxford, owing to the reported amalgamation between
the two.

In the course of the evening a good deal of business was
transacted on the Derby, at the following prices:

1,000 to 15 agst Ingoldsby—(taken)
1,000 to 10 agst Eryx—(taken).
We stated in our last report from the Heath that the
early commencement of the races, rendered indispens-
able by the number of events to come off, had inter-
fered with the settling, and, wo might have added, made
Mr. Tattersall's sale a mere ceremony ; no one had time
to attend it, and, in consequence, several lots of well-
bred greyhounds were withdrawn. To prevent a similar
inconvenience on Wednesday, on which day it was ex-
pected there would be at least a dozen races, it was de-
creed by the Committee of the Subscription-room that
the settling for the day's races should take place to-
night. There were a few " Discontents" to this ar-
rangement, but by the majority it was approved and
acted upon.

The Handicap for the Nursery Stakes, for which forty.
five horses were named, has closed with the following ac.

The mist was again so thick this afternoon that the racing,
except as a source of speculetion, was deprived of its interest.
The difficulty under which the jockies laboured on the first
and second days was obviated to-day by bush-harrowing the
course on the flat, and strewing tan parallel with it trom the
Ditch to the Red Stand ; this enabled them to keep the track,
and prevented any fear of their going out of the course. The
racing commenced at eleven, and was not over until five.

LE VERRIER'S PLANET.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sia,—As in acc.)rdance with the usage of naming the
planetary bodies after the deities of ancient mythology,
the orb first descried by Herschel, in 1781, has received
the appellation of Uranus,. so it is certain that astrono-
mers will apply some classic term 'to the recent wonder-
ful discovery of Le Verner. Uranus, the father of
Saturn, was the offspring of Chaos and Nox, but the
name of neither of these can be fitly given to an orga-
nised member of the universe. I venture, therefore,*to
suggest, that our lately found comrade be called Hype-
rion, from the circumstance of his describing the outer
orbit of the solar system. This word, it is true, has
been used by poets as an epithet of the Sun, in the sense
of " high careering," but has not been so strictly appro-
priated to our great luminary as to forbid its adoption
in what I conceive to be a legitimate and singularly ap-
propriate application.

THE SUN,_LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 29, 1846.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

After a short recess, this theatre opened last evening
with an operatic company. Among the artistes en-
gaged are Madame Albertazzi, Miss Georgiana
Smithson, Miss Sara Flower, Mr. Allen, Mr. Barker,
Mr. Delavanti, an American vocalist, Mr. Bodda, and
Mr. Leffler. Mademoiselle Nau is also engaged for
a limited number of nights. During the recess the
theatre has been completely renovated and re-deco-
rated. The opening piece was a new opera (the
words by Soane, the music by Loder), entitled the
Night Dancers, founded on the story of the popular
ballet of Giselle, which story has, however, been modi-
fied, to suit operatic purposes. The opera is divided
into an induction and two acts. The scene
in the induction is laid in the interior
of the cottage of Godfrey (Mr. Walton) an old
miller in Silesia. His niece Mary (Miss G. Smithson),
is busied in preparations for the marriage of Gizelle,
her cousin (Madame Albertazzi),- who is to wed
Albert (Mr. Allen). Mary sings one of the wild
legends of her country, to beguile the time. Giselle
enters, in her wedding dress, and is chid by her
father, old Godfrey, for her vanity. He is, however,
soon appeased, and sings a merry song. Giselle, who
is passionately fond of the dance, waltzes to distant
music. The sounds approach. Godfrey and Mary
retire, and the voice of Albert is • heard serenading
her from the lake. Coquettishly, she refuses to show
herself. The serenaders retire. She commences
singing and waltzing to the symphony of the air,
and at length falls asleep. This ends the induction.
The first act opens with a chorus of vintagers,
assembled outside G3dfrey's cottage. The beadle
of the parish, a certain Fridolin, a sort of ope-
ratic Marmaduke Magog, capitally acted by Mr.
Leffler, enters. Fridolin is desperately in love with
Mary, but his curiosity is quite as intense as his
love, and he is accordingly constantly peeping
through the keyhole of Albert's cottage, in order to
discover whether Albert is not a nobleman in disguise
Mary remonstrates with him—he justifies himself
—and at last Albert enters. The greater part of this
scene is conducted in concerted music, and Mr. Loder
shows in it that he possesses in a very high degree
the faculty of composing, what, for want of a better
term, we must denominate conversational music.
Albert sings the beautiful serenade, " Wake, my
love, all life is stirring," which was deliciously given
by Allen, and Giselle enters. Her grand scena
d'entree, "I dreamt we stood before the altar,"
is a most elaborate composition, with full orchestral
accompaniments. It was evident that Loder, in
composing this scena, felt that he was composing it
for a perfectly educated and thoroughly scientific
musician, and most assuredly it received full justice
from Madame Albertazzi. It was most rapturously
applauded, and from this moment the success of the
opera appeared certain. This is followed by a beautiful
little bit of simple melody, "I cannot flatter if I would,"
which was given with exquisite taste by Allen, and
rewarded by an enthusiastic encore. This is followed
by a bacchanalian song by Mary, a curiosity in its
way, inasmuch as it is not often that a drinking song
is given to the soprano. It was not only well sung,
but well acted too by Miss Smithson, who seemed a very
Hebe as she poured forth the ruddy juice of the grape.
The Duke of Silesia (Mr. Bodda) and Bertha (Miss
Sara Flower) enter and join the villagers, and nearly
the whole of the rest of the act consists of concerted
music. Mr. Bodda, who on this occasion made his
first appearance at this theatre, possesses a fine bass
voice, with greater flexibility than voices of that charac-
ter in general possess. He is, moreover, a
clever musician, and by no means deficient
in histrionic powers. He will prove a great acquisi-
tion to the Princess's company. The gem of this
scene is the air by. Bertha, " Our way bath been both
rough and long," In which the fine deep rich contralto
tones of Miss Sara Flower told with marvellous afect.
There is no other lady at present on the stage who
could have approached her. This is followed by a
magnificent quintette, admirably sung by Allen, Miss
Smithson, Bodda, Leffler, and Miss Sara Flower, and
which is perhaps the composition par excellence of the
opera in which the scientific musician will most de-
light. This is followed by a huntsman's chorus,
which possesses no very particular merit ; and then
comes a fine bass song "Believe me, honest friends,"
which was very well given by Mr. Bodda. This
is followed by the recitative "I breathe again," and
the air " What pleasure can we find in slaying,"
which were beautifully given by Madame Albertazzi.
The accompaniment to the recitative is very fine,
and the air which follows is a delicious little bit of
melody. It was enthusiastically encored. Then
comes the flower duet, "He loves me, he loves me
not," well sung—and well acted too—by Allen and
Madame Albertazzi, which we like none the worse
from its reminding us forcibly of the scene with Mar-
garet in the garden, of Faust. In this scene is in-
troduced a dance of villagers, in which Mr. and
Miss Marshall danced a new and elegant pas de
deux, and then Fridolin, the prying beadle, inter-
rupts the festivities, by announcing that he
has discovered that Albert is a noble in disguise.
Albert is recognised by the Duke as his nephew, and
the affianced of Bertha. Poor Giselle falls senseless.
It is in vain that Bertha relinquishes all claim to
him, and, drawing the ring from her own finger,
places it on that of Giselle, exclaiming in those
rich deep impassioned tones, which no female voice
save that of Miss Sarah Flower possesses, "Be
blest, be Albert's wedded wife." Poor Giselle dies,
and the act concludes with a fine preghiera, " Holy
water o'er thee sprinkling," sung over her corse. The
scene of the next act is the Lotus Lake, the abode of
Wilis, and we see the tomb of Giselle. Bertha
enters and strews flowers on the tomb. She is
joined by Albert, and here we have the gem of the
opera, the duet " Peace to the dead," one of the
most beautifully expressive compositions we have
ever heard, and which was given with exquisite pa-
thos and feeling by Miss Sara Flower and Mr.
Allen. The villagers enter, and then comes some
fine concerted music; after which, Albert, who is
left alone by the grave of Giselle, sings the beauti-
fully plaintive air, " Wake from thy grave, Giselle."
This is followed by the chorus of Wilis, who
rise from their graves, and are joined by
Giselle, who is transformed into a Wili.
Then comes the air by Giselle, " What new delight-
ful being's this ?" which was beautifully rendered
by Madame Albertazzi ; and then we have the ballet
of the Wills. This ballet is interrupted by the entry
of Fridolin, who is beset by the Wilis, and danced
by them into the lake, according to the received
legend. The Wills sing a joyous chorus at
having " netted their prey ; ' but disappear as Albert
comes forward. Albert invokes the shade of Giselle,
who, singing beneath the earth, warns him of his im-
pending fate ; but, in obedience to his invocation, she
rises from earth from a bed of roses—and here an
-accident, which was nearly being attended with
the most fatal consequences occurred. Madame
Albertazzi, attired as a Wili with gauze
-wings and flowing gauze robes, appeared from behind
the roses ; to give effect to the scene a lamp had been
placed so as to throw a full light upon her as she
rose ; a sudden draught of air floated her robe over
:the lamp, and in an instant she was in flames. She
-ran towards the wing for safety, and as she progressed
the flames rose above her head. With admirable pre-
sence of mind Allen, who was in front of the stage,
rushed towards the wing across her path, so as to im-
pede her further progress, caught her in his arms, and
by embracing her partially smothered the flames.
The actors and scene-shifters, who were at the wings,
rushed to his assistance, surrounded her, and at once
e-xtinguished the fire. The whole affair did not oc-
cupy half a minute, but it was a half minute of
terror. There was no shrieking, but there was a
thrilling buz of horror, an audible shudder,
-throughout the house, which was followed by
repeated rounds of the most enthusiastic ap-
plause when Allen - led her forward unhurt.
After pausing a few seconds to recover herself, she
proceeded with her part, and gave the duet with
. Allen, " Thou hast called, ah woe's the hour," beau-
tifully. The remainder is soon told ; she saves -Al-
bert's life by protracting the dance until daybreak,
: and then comes the denouement. Clouds envelope the
scene, and we are again in the cottage of Godfrey.
• The whole opera has been but a dream of Giselle,
• who is united to Albert, and who finishes by
s inging the finale, "On me crowd such
vous fancies,' which, as is usual in such
case ,s, is a piece composed expressly to give to the
donna an opportunity of showing off her powers
of sution—an opportunity of which Madame Al-
'oliprei:w well how to avail herself. All the
