The selection, consisting of those familiar but ever fresh and beautiful works, the so-called " Italian Symphony," the violin concerto, and pianoforte con.. certo in G minor, played respectively by M. Wien. iawski and Miss Arabella Goddard, with the scene, " In felice," sung by Miss Stabbach, was performed throughout in the highest style of excellence, and most enthusiastically applauded by an audience that filled every corner of the theatre. Our great English pianiste, who made her first appearance this season on the occasion, was greeted with unanimous cheers on entering the orchestra, and after her unsurpassable execution of the con certo wa: recalled with even greater enthusiasm. The great success of the " Mendelssohn night " induced M. Jullien to repeat the programme last evening. ST. MARTIN'S HALL. MR. Huu.aa commenced his annual series of con certs on Wednesday evening with Mendelason's oratorio of St. Paid, the principal vocalists being Mdlle. de Villars; Mdlle. Bebrends, Mr. Arthursat,, Mr. Barnby, and Mr. Sautley. The general per formance was not of a high order of merit, and offered but very few points upon which criticism might dwell with any advantage to Mr. Hullah or his artists. The great hall has at length been deco rated, and is now much improved in every respect. pram. TIIE OLYMPIC. AT this theatre the Red Vial has, as we prognosti cated, ceased to pour forth its horrors, and the hill of fare for the past week has been A Doubtful Victory, A Thumping Legacy, and Boots at the Swan. Mr. I‘lorton's well known farce of the Thumping Legacy was reproduced in capital style, and when we say that Mr. Robson, in the part of Jerry Ominous, is on the stage during the whole of its performance, it may be imagined that from his first entrance in his over•pegged topped trousers and extraordinary travelling cap, to the conclusion of the piece, the audience is convulsed with laughter. The farce was in all other respects well supported, and we must not omit to accord to Miss Herbert, as Rossetta, the meed of praise she deserves for her clever rendering of the part. We hope soon to see this young lady, who to her other attractions adds those of a ladylike and elegant figure and handsome face, and who in Glasgow "won golden opinions from all kind of ' play going ' folk," in characters affording more scope for the exercise of her talents than those hitherto allotted to her on this stage. Boots at the Swan has been again produced, and Mr. Robson by his inimit- able delineation of the BOOM, " disguised in blue and liquor," sent home the audience in good temper. The "minor part of Sally," formerly so cleverly played by Mrs. Emden, lost nothing by being transferred to the pretty and unobtrusive Miss Eleanor Bromley. gionN itlarket an o:it2 ;tttelligtate. FRIDAY EVENING. Tna retain of the Bank of England for the week ending Wednesday last, the 17th inst., shows the following changes compared with that for the week preceding : Decrease in Circulation Increase in Public Deposits 148,39/ Increase in Other Deposits.. Increase in Securities Increase in Bullion Increase in Rest Increase in Reserve Bullion in both Departments Circulation, including Bank Post B 9s 21,552,123 This comparison is not unfavourable, though the changes shown by it do not possess any special im portance. The Bullion has increased to a greater amount than was anticipated, notwithstanding consi derable foreign exports, and the aggregate is still large. The audition to the Private Deposits is caused by payments on Indian account ; and as the Public Deposits continue to enlarge the Reserve has increased in proportion. The return still bears con clusive evidence of the Bank doing but little busi- ness in the way of discounts. The condition of the Money Market is not essen- TIIE PRESS, NOVEMBER 20, 1858. tially changed. It remains pretty much as described in our last, the demand, both commercially and gene• rally, perceptibly enlarging, while the feeling of con fidence that is now happily established effectually maintains the supplies. With regard to rates, the minimum upon the best two months' bills is two and a half per cent., with discriminating terms up to three per cent.; and for longer dated paper, such as four and six months, nothing is done at less than from three to four per cent. In the course of the week considerable payments have been made on account of the final instalment of the second Indian loan, and some payments have been made in antici pation of the balance of railway payments due this month. These incidents have swelled the demand ; but their effect upon the market has passed away, arid it may be considered free from any con• siderable weights of calls, except those arising from the requirements of general trade. At the same time we see no reason to modify our opinion, that, before the end of the year, advanced rates may be expected. With regard to bullion there is not much to say, except that the supplies from Australia, anticipated by the Agincourt, the Dover Castle, and the Marco Polo, are still delayed, probably by the easterly gales, which have been extremely violent. But we have received that brought by the Lincolnshire, and also that which was brought to Suez by the mail steamer. The latter, which amounted to 170,0001, arrived on Saturday, and was at once purchased for export to the Continent. That by the Lincolnshire was delivered on Monday, and, with the exception of about 70,0001., the whole was also taken for the Con tinent. The Magdalena, which arrived today from the West Indies, brought 183,2501. Altogether the arrivals since our last amount in round numbers to 775,0001., while the known exports, up to last night, reached 631450/. All the fine gold brought by the Magdalena is sure to be taken for export. The general effect of these movements upon the stock of bullion in the Bank up to Wednesday is shown by the above comparison. With regard to the future, the Exchanges from the United States are becoming less favourable, so that any large amounts cannot be expected from that quarter, while the continental aemand is not yet satisfied. A large portion of the overdue supplies from Australia are, already, provi• sioually appropriated for export; and if their receipt is delayed a few days longer we may look for some reduction in the stock held by the Bank. The amount of silver taken for the East is less than was expected, but it is still large, and promises to increase. English Securities for the greater part of the week have shown a moderate degree of firmness, particu larly yesterday and on Wednesday, notwithstanding an almost unexampled degree of dulness and want of animation in business. In the early part of the week there was some tendency to decline, and the same disposition was manifested to-day, owing, almost wholly, to the stagnation of business. Indeed, the main support of the market has been the accru ing dividend; while the public have been restrained from purchasing by the larger means that are opening for the employment of capital, and by the general tendencies of the Money Market. The railway traffic receipts are improving, and they have caused considerable firmness in some of the heavier shares, though to-day there were slight symptoms of a reaction. Consols, which left off this day week at 98} to f, were on tuesday at 98, but they were steady for the next two days at 98} to To-day they were flat, and closed at 981 to During the week there have been some good money purchases in Reduced and New Three per Cents., and the Stock Exchange has been well supplied with money. The movements in Foreign Securities have to some extent followed the course of Consols. Peru vian Uribarren Bonds, and the Dollar Bonds, have been in demand, and the new Turkish Loan has been in more favour. In proportion, also, a large business has been done, though the market to day was inactive. The improvement in the traffic receipts, particu larly for merchandize, which has taken place in most of the trunk lines, has had a good effect upon the value of railway shares; though the highest prices hate not in all cases been fully maintained. Stock, however, has not been pressed for sale, and there seems to be a general opinion that unless the value of money advances the level of railway securities has been reached. At all events only such fluctua tions are expected as are incident to the ordinary occurrences of the day. Banking Shares remain very steady. Most of these establishments are doing a good business, and the half•year's profits are expected to be not less satisfactory than those of the previous half. West. minsttrs advanced to 50 on Wednesday, but they are now slightly lower. Atlantic Telegraph Shares are neglected altogether, though ther remain nominally at 820 t.) 350. Red Seas are at fto f prom. Indian and Australians to prom. Miscellaneous Shares quiet and rather dull. Exchequer Bills are slightly flatter. The pres ent quotations are 339. to 365. prem. for the March, and 2ss. to 3[s. prem. for the June descriptions. The fusion of the Limbardo.Venetian Railway with the Vienna and Trieste and other railways was unanimously aaTeed to at Vienne yesterday by the shareholders of the furmer. The " Great Steamship Company" is now tho. roughly organized, and they have issued their pro• spectus inviting the public to supply the capital necessary to complete the Great Eastern and fit her for sea. The first year's profits are estimated at fifteen per cent. The proposal has been ver► favourably received, and no doubt is entertained that the money will be raised, especially as the facilities for it. are now very considerable. It is understood that the firm an for the contem• plated Bank of Turkey has reached London. A plan has been adopted by the London bankers which will be put into operation on Monday next for the purpose of clearing country cheques. The Provincial Trade Reports this week are gene. rally satisfactory, unless it be in some departments of the linen manufacture, in which it is proposed to work short time. The proposal has not been adopted yet. BIRTHS. ATTCHIAGN-On the 19th instant, in Cadogan.place, the wife of Lient-General Aitchison, of a daughter.
