The Hon. Spencer Cowper, youngest son of Vis-
countess Palmerston, is suffering from an affection of his
eyes. The Hon. Gentleman has been obliged to come to
town to consult Mr. Alexander,' the eminent oculist.
- The reception of the Hon. F. Paul Methuen and
his bride at Corsham Court on Monday evening was
most gratifying to the feelings of the youthful couple.
The whole town was illuminated, and triumphal arches
erected, under which they passed, amid the joyful accla-
mations of the assembled thousands from all parts of the
country, who came to welcome back to the seat of his
ancestors the heir of the house of Methuen; and many
fervent prayers were offered up that he and his young
bride might for very many long years enjoy uninter-
rupted happiness and prosperity. The bells rung out a
merry peal, and nothing was wanting to testify the
heartfelt joy of the tenantry on this auspicious event.
When his feelings permitted hum to speak, and the
cheering had somewhat subsided, Mr. Methuen expressed
his gratitude for the reception he had met on his return
to the home of his childhood, and concluded by saying
that he hoped they might find him the same sort of man
as his father.
NEW THEATRE IN SHOREDITCH.—Witnin the last
few days several houses in High- street, Shoreditch, im-
mediately opposite the terminus of the Eastern Counties
Railway, have been pulled down for the construction of
a spacious theatre, which will be under the direction
of Mr. Nelson Lee, at present manager of the Pavilion
Theatre. A circus of 120 feet in circumference is to be
formed, and the stage will be larger than any in London,
not even excepting those of the patent theatres. The
works have already commenced, and the theatre is ex-
pected to be ready early in the spring of the next year.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.
The English market closed steadily, but scarcely with
so buoyant an appearance as yesterday. Consols fur
Money were 100+ ;4,, and fur Time 1003 I. India Stock
was 287 i. The heavy Securities remained the same as
in the morning. . .

Spanish Boiids receded also a little, the Fire per Cents.
being 24 to 234; and the Three per Cents., 35 to 341.
Portuguese Converted, were 50i to 4; Mexican were
34i; and Colombian, 144.
The additional transactions in Railway Shares have
been these :—Chester and Holyhead were 24; Dublin
and Belfast, 21 -g-; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 13; Ditto,
Quarter, 3 ; Ely and Bedford, ; Great South and
Western (Ireland), 8 ; Great North of England, New,
111; Great Western, 70; Hull and Selby, 15 to i; Lan-

There was an advance in the rates of exchange upon

(From The Sun of Last Night.)
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 6,000
bales, all but 300 for export, being io the trade.—Shares
were steady, and a fair business was transacted. Cale-

The contents of the new Brazilian Treaty, as com-
municated by the packet just received from Rio, are
considered by the merchants of the City as not being
quite so objectionable as the outlines received a few days
back. We believe there is no question but that the
terms of the new tariff will be carried out, but as to the
Treaty, not a word is said about the completion of
the new Commercial Treaty between this country and the
Emperor of the Brazils. No doubt, however, the new
special Envoy, the Marquis of Abrontes, who has just
arrived, is commissioned with full power to carry out the
intentions of the Ministry at Rio Janerio, in this and
other respects. The date of the commercial letters re-
ceived from Rio are not later than those before received.

The arrivals this morning are but few, and the ad.
vices are destitute of news of interest.

This is the pay 'day in the Consol market. The losses
have been liquidated without any apparent difficulty.
Consols for Money have receded from 10011 to 1004, and
for the Account to 1001. We hear that capital is be-
coming more and more in request for mercantile
purposes. It could not be better employed, as specu-
lation in produce of all kinds is at present car-
ried on to a very small amount. The great
bulk of the public and private sales for some time past
have been for bona fide consumption. The rate of in-
terest bas advanced a shade. The New Three-and-a-
Quarter per Cents. have been firm at 1021. Exchequer
Bills are quoted at 73 to 75 premium. Bank Stock at
206, and India Stock at 95 premium. The Commis-
sioners took 10,0001. Consols at 1001 to-day.
Spanish Bonds have been pretty steady to-day at 351
for the Three per Cents., and 24/ + for the Consols.
The decree for funding the floating debt of Spain ought
to have had a contrary effect, for most unquestionably
the Spanish Minister of Finance, whoever he may be,
will meet the demands of the home creditors ere the de-
mands of foreigners will be thought of. Dutch Stock
has advanced ; Portuguese, Austrian, and Russian Bonds
have been in request ; Mexican Five per Cents. are at
341 ; Brazilian Five per Cents. remain at 851.
A slight improvement is noticed in some of the Rail-
way Shares this morning. The Great Western Fifths
have realised 141 to prem. ; the Manchester and Leeds,
4
81 to 83 prem. ; the Manchester and Birmingham, 12
prem. ; the Boulogne and Amiens, 3 prem. ; and the
Paris and Orleans 20 prem. The Australasian Bank
Shares are at 8 prem.
