1-lAYMARKET THEATRE.

We are glad to see that Mr. Webster has been
securing the services of several of our best provincial
performers to recruit the Haymarket company. Miss
Carre, a young lady who was a great favourite on the
Bath boards, made her debut last evening in the cha-
racter of Susan, in that most affecting drama, Marie
Ducange. The part of Susan, although scarcely
even a second rate part, has this great advan-
tage, it is a character, and consequently affords
an opportunity to those who can discriminate cha-
racter, of developing their talents. Miss Carre evi-
dently possesses the power of discriminating character,
in the absence of which there can be no true acting,
and she was not slow to avail herself of the opportu-
nities for its display which the part afforded her. In
the earlier scenes, as the gay and laughing soubrette,
the farmer's daughter transformed into the lady's-
maid, she was lively, nate-al, and unaffected,
and in the latter scenes, where the *character
assumes a graver complexion, when she becomes
the protectress of her former mistress, poor
Marie, who has been driven mad by her wrongs.
Miss Carre displayed a sound taste and good judg-
ment deserving of our hearty commendation. The
little touches of pathos were exquisitely given ; but
which is a great merit, especially in one fresh from
thel provinces, there was no over-acting; no strr'n-
ing after effect, no attempt to make too much of the
part. From this we augur favourably of Miss Carre's

Mr. Wilsone, also from
the Bath boards, made his first appearance in the part
of Dupau. His person ig good, and his voice clear
and strong, and what little he had to do was done
quite as well as the part required.

COTTON IRADE Th
STATE OF TIIE e transaetiorl
or the week ending on the 24th instant, were 17,970
bales. The moderate extent of the demand, especially
since Tuesday, and the free manner in which the im-
porters have met it, have thrown an appearance of de-
pression over the market, and the inferior qualities of
American, have been sold cheaper, but in no other class
can any change of price be noticed. To some extent the
limitation of our present demand for American cotton
may be ascribed to the circumstance of the spinners
themselves importing that description more extensively
this year, in consequence of the prices ranging in Ame-
rica at or below the limits which they sent
out at the close of last year. There is still a
total absence of any favourable feature in dee
Manchester market in goods and yarns. Commer-
cial men there, as well as here, are most anxious for the
settlement of the important questions of finance now be-
fore Parliament, the uncertainty relative to which wil
check much commercial enterprise. The advices from
America received during the week still show large re-
ceipts at the shipping ports, but the estimates of the
crop hare not been raised. It is calculated by some
parties, that when the very dull accounts from England
up to this date reach the American markets, they will
, check shipments, and since, at our present quotations,
the American planters cannot derive a nett return
eqe'valent to the cost of production, packing, and car-
riage to the shipping port, they will be induced to hold
back any cotton uncleared for the chance of a better re-
sult another season. In many cases the pecuniary ne-
cessities of the planters may prevent this, but the richer
ones may be inclined to act in that way.—Liverpool
