I called your attention to the subject of Finance in a Letter published in this Paper on the 7th of February, to which I refer you. wherein I apprised you of the Minister's wools, notwithstanding the assertions I heard him mike in the House of Com mons, that he had paid in the peer three millions mom titan be had borrowed, and which he could only have stated for the purpose of raising the Funds, because he at that time knew the account stood es under, viz.-- &edam, of the year 0.11,000,000. 11,000,000 Ditto on Consolidsted Food Di 2,1100,000 alto so f`burche s 00,0 Ditto on Fortresses ....... 1,000 ....... . . 700,000 Total Deficiency ...... Z. 10,300,000 Now, this deficiency of the year has only been provided for in part, agreeably to the Minister's statement, which is a very fallacious one, and ought to have been thus, vix.— s isAietkoson as above. 11.•••••••••••=•••• 94100,000 to pay off the Beek. 2 . 3 7,3i/0,900 The Minister has borrowed thirty million, out of which he has to pay as above ; consequently the amount of Exchequer Bills left in the market will be filly millions, and out of the thirty millions he has now borrowed, he emu only appropriate 51 ,700,000/. to the liquidation of these fifty millious; consequently at the end of the year 47;300,0001. of Exchequer Bills will remain unfunded, to which he will have to add upwards of twelve millions fur the service of 1819; consequently in May, 1819, be will have an sufusided debt of fifty-none millions And upwards, •in addition to the creation this year of thirty-five millions of 3 per Cent. Stock, and a creation of Stock in Si per Cents. equal to three millions of money. For this creation of stock, equal to thirty-nine millions. be has as yet provided no fund for interest. Why ? because he lies none, and can only pay it by diminishing the Sinking Fund. Now, Geotl;asen, let me put you on your guard against this new attempt to raise the Funds unfairly, lest you should fall into the snare.— Can a new creations of Stock of nearly thirty-nine million,, (without any Fond to charge for interest), with Exchequer Bills unfunded at the end of twelve months to the extedt of nearly sixty millions, be good cause for the advance of Stock ? Can the return of the Allies from France add to our seen rity ? Can the determination of the Bank to lessen its eircelatiag medially (as stated by Mr. Tnoan- TO! in the Roue of Commons a few days since) raise the Funds ? Can the preparation of the Bask to pay in specie raise them ? Can the reduces tion of the Sinking Fund raise them ? Can the French Loan abort to be mode. of twenty million, sterling. raise them ? or can the great buyers, the Jews, raise then). under such pressure as I have stat ed ? (arid I defy any one to contradict what I have put before yen.) Notwithetandieg the charge of the Minister against the Stock Exchange for Opposition to his wild plans, I will ask any reasonable person whether the probability in not, that 3 per Cent. Consols will be nearer 70 than so within six months from this period ? I sincerely wish I could draw a more lively picture, but I have determined to put before you a true statement, and leave the Jews and their ally, the Minister, together with the boasting Courier, to make their efforts to mis lead yob and the public. I am really ashamed to see the daily puffs of the Clerks of the Treasury in The Coiner, evidently calculated to raise the price of Stock, without any regard to the consequences. Refer to the letter al luded to, dated 7th February, and you will dis cover that I did not there over -rate the deficiencies of this year, and you may, therefore, reasonably rely on the statements I have now offered you.

DRDRY-LASII4 Mr. Zitt?lntlS'S tragedy of Bertram wee per formed on Saturday evening. Miss NACAULEY sustained, for the first time. the character of /no gime—mid surprised us by pley of energies. which her subdued manner , iiit h e se most impassioned scenes of Lady Randolph. did not lead us to ex pect. Lavine is a creature of the Germareachool. She understand., perfectly well, the theory of vir tue--but she is oat quite so perfect in its practice, She is aware of the duties which the endearing ties of wife and soother impose upon her —..y et , trem blingly alive as she apiaries to he to those duties, site consents to meet the declared foe oilier Lord— the foe of him who had rescued her family from the depths of poverty—she consesat s to meet that man, whom of all others she should have avoided. In these cases-- " Tks misuse who deliberate s is lost ;'• and inrogine, overcome by the intoxication of a criminal passion, returns from the fatal interview, guilty and despairing--te minion of a villain," The character is out o f nature—and. therefore, however beautifully written, cannot commaild our sympathies. There hasty transitions from virtue to vice --and from vice to repentance, do not belong to air sphere. " No person," say, the adage, " becomes very wicked on a sodden." The acme of vice is the infidelity of a wife to an honourable, afrecrionste husband. That crime once committee!, the cOnscieuce, fora time, a t least, becomes seared, and rarely dues contrition resu,n , till reflection is awakened the s by the ap a th y , if not the contempt, of poiler. Faulty, however, as the character, if analysed, must appear, it cannot he denied, that, in its principal scenes, it affords " ample room and verge enough" for the exhibition of histrionic powers of the first order. To say, that Miss MACAULIT merely supported the character well, would be proof, either of want of candour, or of a deficiency in judgment. Till she performed the part of /ravine we never save it played. Her passion was without extravagance but it was not methodi col. It was not the rooting of a heroine —nor the whimpering of a girl. At.times, indeed, it came on us a little too abruptly—but, unlike all other storms. it pleased us most when we were in the midst of it. In her first scene with Bertram, we think she was peculiarly successful. The answers of the stranger recal more forcibly to her recollection her own accumulated woes. a t the moment, when, thinki ng o f hi m to whom her faith Was plighted, ihe seeks to retire—dm hand, which was once all gentleness, rudely arrests her progress —that Bertram, once all loveliness, but now, pale and einaciated.the fires of life burning fiercely and feverishly, ere they are extinguished for ever-- appears before her. Miss MACIIVLET sustained this scene with great talent. Here, to a mind of meagre judgment, there is ample opportunity for " tearing a passion to tatters," Miss MACAULET has too much taste to accept the invitation. She gave to the various feelings of lateens a due de gree of force—the picture was not overscoloured its any instance--and in no instance was it tame or spiritless. In the fourth and fifth acts, as the re - Iweseutation became more difficult, Miss Mac- MILES'S powers appeared to acquire additional strength. The soliloquy which follows her criminal interview with Bertram, and h er s u b sequent meet ing with St. Aldobreottl , were, throughout, marked by genius of no ordinary character. In some minor points, Miss MACAULRY did not plense us. She occasionally rolls her eyes, as if she would shoot sparks from them—but no sparks come. Amongst ladies, we are sure, the next fault we point out will be accounted a virtue. Miss MAEAULIT dims not fall well. She has not studied pantomime much_ and yet that is a branch of the art which ought not to be totally disregarded. This lady falls something like Corpora( Trim's hat—"f had it been filled with lead, it could not have fallen more perpendicularly." In the art of the mo dulation of voice, she also appears to be deficient. Her scream is the peacock's note.-- IVe are sure, if she essay e d t h e task, she could render her sh riek equally expressive and somewhat more musical. These are trifles—these are vingu. larities—and genius never existed without them. As an actress of more than common powers, we are happy to see her snatched from " the side of a bleak hill" and planted in a warmer soil. That she should so long have been absent from the me tropolis. is a matter at once to be wondered at and to be regretted. Her performance was received not favour a bl y , b ut esithusiiietically. Of M r. KEAN'S &HMV, it is ueineeelonty to speak at length. He hasa monopoly of the superior order of theatrical villains, and he plays them well. He never played Bertram better. After the tragedy, a new afterpiece, entitled " The Bleektimaar's Head." was performed. We have tar hesitation in say i ng, that the head which produced it was not iuhabited by a large family of Maas.
