There were also reports of other debarkations at Saint Lille and Sables d'Oionne. The Rebels were-also said to have moved on the side of Blois. These reports had but little circulatiop, were but slightly believed, and had no influence on the Exchange. The successes in La Vendcle, the. troubles of Spain, and particularly the departure of 'the Em peror, have occupied men's minds, and given a public impulse which will probably keep the stocks at their present rise.

DRURY-LANE .—,rks Mr. KEA'S occupies so great a space in the theatrical world, it may be neces sary for us to notice his second appearance for the preseat season. lie last night resumed the pm t of Othello, and we recognise with pleasure .the diminution of his peculiarities. He has less of mechanical precision in his action, and he does not dwell with such elaborate minuteness on pas sages of subordinate interest. His voice is stt ouger, aml its vigour is wore lasting. lie sets a good example to the theatrical community in general, by the mental a!;sorption which seems - to mark his assuaiption of character. Hence there are no stray looks, and he attends to whatever bears upon his part in the scene. We thought that his pauses were too long, and that in utter ing several words his voice was rendered none, cessarily harsh and grating. We thought also that, as his stature•is so low, he blnt his body too :Intel', and, consequently, lessened the dig nity requisite to so heroic a character. Bat his performance was strongly, characterised by feel ing,,and was deservedly sanctioned by applause.-- The only novelty was Mr. S. I'ENLEY in Roderigo, vice Mr. DECAMP, who being a useful and versa tile actor should, we conceive, have ret a ined his station in the Theatre. Mr. PENLEY, instead of rendering the part rather too silly, as his prede cessor did, hardly rendered it foolish enough. However, he is a promising young actor, and is a ,respectable addition' to the Company. Thc Theatre was well attended, bat by no means crowded in any.part. • The same circumstance attended Mrs. ALsoP which CoLLEY CIBBER has recorded of the cele brated Mrs. OLDFIELD. When that great comic Actress attended the rehearsals, before her first appearance on the Boards, she contented herself with repeatin;,f, her part of the dialogue, but did not enter into the character. CinnFri, therefore, 'with all Ins experience, was mistaken in prediet ing.that she would never he a great Actress. Mrs. ALSO? attended the rehearsals in the same man ner, and hence there was no pre-conception of the merit Which characterized her performance. On Wednesday night, there were no fewer than three female performers in male attire, at Covent Garden and Drury Lane, namely,—Mrs..ALsor, in Rosalind; Miss Bu aitELL, in Patrick; and Mrs. MARDyN, in Albina Mandeville. If we go On. at this rate, the original state of the Drama...will be entirely reversed, and a sort of theatrical minas nil rabilis will ensue, in which all the women will assume manhood.

On Saturday and Monday nearly one hundred extra constables were sworn in to preserve the peace, in case the sailors should become riotous, but they, have 'hitherto conducted themselves in the most orderly manner, only persisting in their demands.
