MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, 7'W 0 O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated
at 8,0(10 bales of which 600 American were taken for export,
and 1,200 on speculation. The market continued to have an
upward tendency, and is ill supplied. American is 11/Bd. to
1,4 d., and Surat %d. per lb.higher.— Railway Shares were
dull at lower prices.
The Colonial Markets have opened dull this week, except
for Sugar, and there are very full supplies.
There are arrivals from Australia, the Cape, and other
parts, with letters and papers, but they do not contain any
later news. The want of steam communication with the
southern colonies is daily more felt, as front nearly every
part of the world we may now calculate upon receiving
advices of recent date at stated intervals; whereas from
Australia the direct intelligence is unfrequent, disjointed, and
often anticipated via India.
[1334 A mercantile firm in Hamilton (Canada) has received a
114 X letter from Boston, dated the Bth instant, containing the fol-
lowing:—
, "We have the pleasure of informing you that the certifi-
[s3 cate of October last, by which the amount of duties was re-
Say‘ quired to be deposited at the Custom-house, has been re-
peated. Goods for British provinces can now be passed
through the United States in the former way, by signing
bonds."

gration from the United Kingdom during 1849 and 1850 :

Money and share
Markets now rather increase than otherwise,
but notwith-
standing the assertion of many, we are quite unable to cis-
cover that money is dearer, except perhaps in the Stock
49% Exchange. There, the sales of Stock and Shares have tem-
porarily absorbed a good proportion of the floating assets of
the jobbers, and until the tide turns a little, and buyers ap-
pear, we may not have a decided alteration. That there is
any real scarcity of money it is impossible to con-
ceive, when we find specie pouring in upon us,
and although there are exports of the precious
metals to the continent, and the foreign exchanges are
slightly against us, this is not sufficient to balance our re-
ceipts of bulth,n. The close of the financial quarter is ordi-
narily a period when some little pressure is felt, but there
appears to be no ground for believing that cash will not be
more than ever abundant when the July dividends are paid.
The English Funds are still heavy, and the sellers profess
to be influenced by the uncertainty that prevails in regard to
the election of Louis Napoleon, and the course he will take
if the Assembly should not, by an adequate majority, decide
for a revision of the Constitution. Consols have been 96y2

Shares have been " banged" again in several instances,
and the prices droop accordingly.

NEWSPAPER DUTIES.
Mr. ROEBUCK preserved a petition from Sheffield,
praying for the abolition of newspaper duties.
THE TRUCK SYSTEM.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE put the following question to the
Secretary of State for the Home Department:—lf he had
taken any and what steps, in consequence of a memorial
that had been forwarded to him by workmen
employed
in the mining district of South Staffordshire, complain-
ing of the prevalence of truck in that district, and that
one of the firms deeply engaged in this illegal traffic to
that of Messrs. Dixon and Hill, one of which firm, Henry
Hill, being a justice of the peace, not only sits and acts I
Petty Sessions, but is Assistant Chairman of Quarter
Sessions, whereby the difficulty of the memorialists to
obtain justice and to enforce the law is materially Id-
creased ?
Sir G. GREY said that he had drawn the attentioi!
of Mr. Hill to the facts stated in the memorial allude'
to, and he had received information from that gentlemen!
that though he had formerly a share in the colliery, .
had never taken any part in the management of it, and
at the present time he had no interest in any collieries
Grey) ors
works in: South Staffordshire. He (Sir George
was, however, sorry to say that the truck system pre-
vailed in South Staffordshire to a great extent, but he
had written to Mr. Hill desiring him to exert his influence
in order to discourage it as much as possible.
LORD ASHLEY.
Sir R. H. INGLIS, in moving for a new writ for the
city of Bath in place of Lord Ashley, called up to the
Effuse of Peers, entered into a lengthy eulogium of the
services of Lord Ashley in the service of Christianity
and philanthropy.
Mr. BRuTHERTON and Sir G. GREY concurred in the
praises which had been bestowed on Lord Ashley.
SUNDAY TRADING BILL.
Several petitions were presented against this Bill from
the metropolitan boroughs.
The adjourned debate on the motion for going into
Committee on this Bill was resumed.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS complained that the objectLef
Hon. Gentlemen opposed to this Bill was to defeat it by
procrastination.
Mr. ROEBUCK thought the whole was nothing better
than so much waste paper. He proceeded to canvass the
provisions of the Bill, with a
view of showing that it
was impossible to carry such a Bill into execution.
He thought there was not the slightest necessity for e
Bill, and he appealed to the House whether, if there
were any necessity, this Bill was one which would supply
the deficiency.
Mr. SPOONER urged the Hon. Member for Lambeth
to withdraw the Bill. He himself was favourable to the
principle, but there were reauy provisions in it which
were highly objectionable.
Sir W. CLAY supported the Bill, because he felt con-
fident that it was the expiessien of opinion of some of
the best persons in the metropolitan, districts and that
it would tend materially to raise the condition of the
working classes.
Mr. W. J. FOX said that his objection to the Bill
was that it had no principle whatever. It was not
formed on the Sabbatical principle, the object of which
would have been to prevent all manner of work and not
trade merely, and on the other hand it only aimed at se..
curing a day of rest for the shopkeeper and apple stall
keepers.
Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR supported the prin.'
ciple of the Bill, but recommended that it should be
withdrawn for the present year.
(LEFT SITTING.)

A SINGULAR THEATRE IN PARIS.
A singular edifice has silently sprung up in one of
the least frequented streets of Paris. It is a large
theatre, externally in the lonic style, capable of contain-
ing
3.000 persons. The portion of the house intended
for the public is a large elliptical vaulted hall, 126 feel
by 66 in surface, and about 55 in altitude, with a ground
floor, gallery, and two upper ones for spectators. The
stage, situated in a semi-circular recess at the extre-
mity of the transverse axis, encroaches upon the PI
in a circular curve, so that the whole stage may be said
to form a circle. The orchestra, instead of being placed
between the spectators and the actors, is situated in
the upper portion of the recess aforesaid, and is in-
visible to the public, though visible to the director of the
band, who is seated in front of the stage, where the
prompter generally sits. Besides this band, a second one,
equally invisible to the public, may occupy a circular
gallery surmounting the lustre, accessible by a winding
staircase descending between iron bars from the vaulted
ceiling of the house in the boldest way imaginable. This
second orchestra is calculated to produce singular ac-
caustic effects, hitherto unknown to the musical and
theatrical world. We were present when an experiment
was made by an eminent singer, who warbled some of his
finest notes at the top of the gallery; and although, at
express desire, he sang in rather a subdued tone, the effect
produced was far superior to what can be obtained with
much greater efibrt in the ordinary theatres. The stage
is raised 6 feet above the pit; the space allotted to the
representation is 30 feet broad and 48 feet deep'
But the most singular part of M. BarthelZ:my's contri-
vances consists in his curtains and back scenes, which,
owing to the form adopted for the stage, are curvilineal
also; notwithstanding which, by means of cylinders of
a peculiar construction, they are made to rise or drop al
if they were flat. He has, moreover, introduced trans-
parent as well as opaque scenes, so that extraordinary
effects of perspective and distance are produced by
different strata of gauze intercepting the view.
Vertical as well as horizontal cylinders are
used; and the powerful illusions created by the si-
multaneous rolling and unrolling of partly opaque
and partly transparent scenery leave those of ordinary
theatres far behind. These contrivances have, of course,
called for important modifications in the system of
lighting both the house and the stage. There are no
foot-lights, and the whole space is illuminated from
above by an ingenious combination of reflectors. The
house is, besides, so constructed that theatrical repre-
sentations may be given by the sole aid of day-light,
transmitted through panes of coloured glass. The foyer
is a large room under ground, occupying the whole room
of the pit and stage. It is to be well lighted, and deco-
rated with flowers and comfortable seats.—Galignani's
Messenger.
