It is pro bable that the effect of the return has been antici pated, as the public have been prepared for it during the last day or two; but it certainly is one of the most unsatisfactory that has appeared for some months past. The supplies of money are still exceedingly large, and the market is essentially easy; but a change has gradually come over it during the week, as far as relates to the demand both commercially and generally. The inquiry is much more active, and rates are stiff at from two and a quarter to two and a half per cent., while for secondary paper little is done under the Bank minimum of three per cent. The commercial inquiry has been stimulated by the preparations to retire the acceptances at maturity this week, the gross amount of which has been found considerab4 larger than was anticipated. At present, the demand from this source is much more likely to grow than to recede, although the provincial trade reports describe some degree of quietness. But it must be remembered that extensive arrangements are in progress for an active spring trade, iu all branches of production, and that the close of the year always produces an exceptional demand for capital. The general inquiry has, during the week, been enlarged by some heavy railway calls, parti cularly from the Lombardo-Venetian Company, while a vast sum has to be paid in a week or two on account of East Indian railways. Other heavy payments are rapidly falling due. Next week twenty per cent. is due upon the first series of 3,000,0001. of the Turkish loan, and the week atter the final instalment of twenty five per cent. is payable on the second Indian loan. Some portion of these amounts have certainly been paid in advance, but enough remains to affect the tone of the market now that a rapid drain of bullion is assisting to make it sensitive and unsettled. Under these circumstances, the supply of money may remain large—there is every probability that . 4 will ; but advantage will naturally he taken to stiffen if not to increase the terms. Meanwhile, the expectation of a reduction in the Bank minimum is entirely abandoned. hiked, in some quarters, profession is made of a belief that, in less than a month, the rate will be advanced one-half per cent. to 325. prem. for June bills. The bankers beet ceased buying, but they are not realizing. The Directors of the Oriental Bank have declared a dividend of 254. per share, free of income tax, for the half year ending in June. This is at the rate of ten per cent. per annum. by Abe " I'm a Laughl elicited redemanas for tl and M. Wieuicwski, a this country, and possessii M.

Jullien has created for imself a new claim to the esteem of our musical pu is by the introduction of so eminent an artist as M. ieniawski. The theatre is very tastefully decorated, in the style usually adopted by M. Jullien to his promenade con• certs, and although the bank is necessarily less numerous than formerly, it stilltincludes most of our best instrumentalists, and is qtite powerful enough for the locality. The Bullion movements of the week have been numerous and important. We have had a large and a sudden drain upon our stocks, and the demand, though apparently - lessening just now, is by no means satisfied, so as to enable us to fed confident that much more will not be required. Consols, which left off la.t Friday at 981 to I for account, gradually declined, owing to the drain of bullion, to 98, at which they stood on Wednesday eve ning. Yesterday they further receded to 971 to 4, making the fall since this day week exactly a half per cent. The settlement, which commences to morrow, has naturally induced a considerable closing of speculative accounts, so that the decline is not wholly attributable to external circumstances. This morning the opening price was 971 to 98, and they left off at the same. Less business has been done in Re duced and New Threes ; and like Consols they have both given way, bat they ate comparatively firm. Foreign Stocks have, upon the whole, been inactive. Turkish descriptions have shown most sensitiveness, particularly the two series of stocks representing the late 3,000,0001. loan. Fur some time they have com manded a good premium, but for some days past rumours and statements have been in active circula tion that the palace extravagance at Constantinople bas beeu resumed, and that the proceeds of the loan threatened to be partially wasted. The effect of these reports was, at one time, to throw the first series down to 1 dis., but they partially recovered ; but yesterday they left off at >t to dim. ' while the second series (which aro more favourably circumstanced) closed at fto 1 prem. To-day there was no parti cular alteration. Nothing of importance has occurred in any other Stocks. Railway Shares, though affected by Consols, have been comparatively steady, without any pressure of stock. Some descriptions, such as Caledonians, North British, and a few ethers, have given way, and are lower than this day week; but generally no change of magnitude has been established, Indian shares are lower; but that is explained by the heavy calls due towards the end of the month. The market was very firm to-day with the exception of Caledo nians (the traffic receipts of which are bad) and North-Easterna. The improvement is due to the resolutions of the delegates, at their meeting yesterday, from the operation of which much benefit is anticipated. Banking Shares are without change ; but prices are firm, and business in them has been limited. Atlantic Telegraph Shares remain at 330 to 300. About half-a dozen transactions have taken place in them during the week. Red Seas have declined to to prem. in consequence of a call of 31. per share. Indian and Austraian the same; and no change has occurred in Electrica. Miscellaneous Shares are without alteration. Exchequer Bills, under the influence of the better demand for money, have receded slightly, the present prices being 355. to 3Ss. prem. for March, and 295. praua THE PRINCESIVS.—The trage4 of Macbeth was reproduced at this theatre on SL-Inday, with all the effects which rendered its performance in 1853 by the same enterprising manager an epoch in dramatic his• tory. In none of his great revivak has the antiqua rian knowledge and archteological taste of Mr. Charles Kean been more powerfully devebped than in Mac • beth, although, as serving to exemplify the primitive manners of the age , it naturally owes less of its success to gorgeous decorations than many which succeeded it. Mr. Charhs Kean's acting on Monday evinced a thorough appreciation of the remarkable character portrayed by the great drama. tist ; and never was Mrs. Kean seen to greater advan• tage than as the ambitious woman plotting for a throne, and prompting her lord in the moments of his hesitation and doubt to commit the crime which was to crown her efforts with triuuph. The whole east was most powerful, and the acing throughout wao so admirable that the cortiin fell amidst the enthusiastic applause of a crow •e l audience.

THE HEREFORD MUSICAL FESTIVAL proves to have been more successful, as far as concerns the charity which it was intended to benefit, than any which has p^ecedeti it in the eintury and a half of the exist Lice of these meetings. 'rule contributions to the Clergymen's Widows' and Orphans' Charity of the Dioceses of Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester, which have come in since the meeting, have swelled the total amount to 1,063/. 3s. 4tl. The largest col lection realized prior to this year at Hereford was in 1840, when 1,0611. 2s. Id. was received. Arrange ments are also in progress for the next Hereford meeting in 1861, and twenty-four out of the twenty. five stewards required have already been obtained.

THE relm it of the BAnk of England for the week ending Wednevday la4t, the 3rd inst., shows the following changes comparel with that for the week preceding : Increase in Circulation £138,284 Increase in Public Deposits 446,176 Deems*. in Other Deposits 1,084,266 Increase in Securities Decrease in Bullion Increase in Hest Decrease in Reserve Bullion in both Depari ruents Circulation, including Bank Post Bills . 3,222,108 This comparison is unfavourable in sil essential respects. The large decrease in the " Other Deposits" is the most striking feature in it. Part of the diminution is owing to withdrawals on acc,aint of the transmission of coin to Constantinople, in connec tion with the recent Turkish Loan, and to some by the India-house; but it is mainly caused by bankers and others having reduced their balances in order to meet the demand for money out of doors, and by payments in connection with extensive bullion operations. The Public Deposits continue to enlarge ; but though a considerable sum has been received on this account, the effect upon the Reserve of the withdrawal of pri vate deposits has been the heavy diminution of 1157,000/. The Bullion is more than halt a million 1 es; and in the absence of Australian arrivals, it can hardly be expected that the stock will remain at its present amount.
