irsa debittants. Mr. Rafter, who enacted
his voice is neither very powerful nor very extensive, and
his notes occasionally veiled, he is unquestionably an
acquisition to the establishment. The other accession
to the vocal troupe is Miss Messent, a pupil of
the Academy. This young lady has a highly
intelligent countenance, and although her dramatic
action as yet displays inexperience, it is far
from displeasing. Her voice is clear, her notes
liquid and resonnant, and she sings with aptness, taste,
and feeling. She displayed considerable facility as well
as power, withour resorting to that species of shouting
to which our best English singers are so much addicted.
The Bayaclere was impersonnated by Mdlle. Adele
Dubignon, who appeared to produce a highly agreeable
impression on the audience. In figure, she is petite,
with a winning look, and a highly graceful manner; her
person is well formed, excepting perhaps too great an
amplitude of the lower limbs—and withal she has the
quality in a dancer—for present impression and for
future promise—youth. Her pautomine, without being
vivid, is highly intelligent, and in her dancing there is
variety and effect, without effort.

THE PENNY-A.MILE OMNIBUS SYSTEM.—Yester-
day, in consequence of the apparent success attending
this experiment, a number of the old omnibus proprie-
tors, who have hitherto charged sixpence, started their
vehicles at the reduced rate, so that there are nearly
thirty omnibuses carrying passengers from Hungerford-
market to Pgiciktp for twopence each.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm,
at the previous advance, although the accounts from Ame-
rica notice some relaxation in the speculation going for-
ward. Sales 7,000 bales, including 500 hales American
on spec ulatien, and 500 for: exportation. Shares were
steady, though not active.
The accounts from the United States, per Hibernia,
are almost entirely occupied with the warlike operations
in Mexico, which are again, despite rather a gallant re-
sistance, all in favour of Brother Jonathan. The
markets for produce bavo been active again, and large ,
shipments continued to be made to Europe.
Respecting political affairs in British North America,
the following is interesting :—" There has been no
change in the heads of departments, forming the Execu-
tive Council or 'Responsible Government,' since the
departure of Lord Metcalfe, excepting the appointment
of Mr. Cayley as Inspector-General of Accounts, and
the retirement of Mr. D. B. Viger, who was President
of the Committees of the Executive Council : we have
not heard of any other being appoiuted.
" Some new signs of life, have, however, been shown
on the part of the Ministry, who resigned in 1843,
although they had a decided majority in the Assembly.
The ensuing election put them in a small minority, and
they kept up a continued clamour and opposition during
the two past sessions, without, however, proposing any-
thing in the shape of reform, of which we had heard so
much. Tney, in fact, sanctioned all the past expendi-
tures, in establishing which, they, indeed, had some
share, when in power ; concurring in old and new taxes,
and imposing new laws, and new burdens on the corn •
munity." .
Upon the subject of the timber trade, we are advised
by Messrs. Forsyth and Bell, of Canada, that " the
winds, which in August and the early part of September
were prevalent from the west, have changed, and for the
last fortnight have brought up a very heavy fleet, about
300 having arrived since our last, and our port now is
in full bustle and activity.
" White Pine.—The accounts from Liverpool are to
the 18th ult., when a steady demand for wood goods was
experienced, and prices had gradually advanced since
spring lid to 2d. per foot on mostly every kind of
square timber. This, with the tonnage now in port,
and daily expected, would, in ordinary times, have been
very perceptibly felt in our market ; but the heavy
stock on hand in some measure neutralises the effect of
the progressive advance in England, and many sellers
are most anxious to realise. Still the sales have been
on an extended scale, at prices varying from 3d to 51(1.,
in the raft., measured off."
The accounts from India by the overland express bear
out what was stated under this head when the pre-
vious arrival took place, and there seems to be
a continued heavy appearance in the markets for im-
ported goods. In exports there had been a slight
increase of business at Calcutta, and the rate of the
exchange was again lower. -At Bombay the markets
also wero dull. Freights were tending downwards.
The weather and the approaching Poojal holidays
checked business, but as regards imports the stocks no
doubt were too large.
At a meeting of parties connected with the Indigo
trade, it has been decided that the future sales shall be
held in February and May, and that goods in second
hands shall be separately catalogued.
The Stock Market is today by no means in a better
state than at the conclusion of business yesterday after-
noon, and it is certain ,that the nature of the intelli-
gence from Lisbon, Madrid, and Gibraltar, combined,
made a decided impression here in encouraging Bear
operations. Consols are now 94 to I, being full per,
cent. lower than they were yesterday morning foraimme-
diate transfer. Time bargains have been effected at
941 to 948. New Three-and-a-Quarter per- Cents. have
been 94 to 95, a similar decline on the previous rates of
this week. Exchequer-bills are 'almost nominal at Bs.
premium. Bank Stock is. worth 204 only, and India
Stock 256 to 257,
The Foreign Bonds all share in the decline. Spanish
Three per Cents. are 361- is the Five per Cents. 258 ;
Portuguese Converted, 381 to 40 ; and Mexican, 21/ to
a. This is settling-day, and there are some rather con-
siderable differences to make good.
Shares 1 aye been' generally well supported. There is
a call upon North Stafl'ords, and this makes them lower.
French lines are dull.
