Each day adds to the severity of the monetary crisis, to the uncertainty and excitement in the money market, and produces a further depreciation in the value of every description of property, and of every species of security, public or private. Consols for money were sold at T9l, which rate, after the close of the regular hours of business, was lowered to 79e or 791. In our Third Edition, yesterday, it was our painful duty t o announce t h e suspens i on of the Royal Bank of Liverpool, occasioned by the absence of notes and specie to carry on its ordinary business, caused by the universal contraction of the currency. Here, then, we have another gigantic esta blishment, of the most undoubted solvency, sacrificed to the maintenance of those laws which have already spread such consternation and ruin throughout the land. The magnitude of the concern, and the enormous evils that even its temporary stop page must occasion, may be gathered from the fact that its paid-up capital amounted to no less than 600 ,0001, sterling, and that at the commencement of the present year its shares, on which 5001. had been P th a eaa id l r t ead"y commanded a premium of 3651. Within ten days, it i s sa id, th a t a pplic a tion has been made o n i ts a behalf le a t d o van t c h e e Bank of England, for a conside r on bills, which the directors were unable to comply with, rom the stringency of the Act 4.t, and the necessity of keeping within the limit therebyseai a s assigned, n a e n d d , s t a a l b t i h l o i tuyg of f , so convinced were they of the solvency the concern, that the required hiinch stock.could not be given in money, was freely offered How much longer is the n a ti on to groan under incubus by which it is oppress e d, and b energies are impaired, its resources diminished, which the ishedh itsd its merchants, traders, and manufacturers —the classesan by whom the national prosperity has hith erto been maintained and upheld—reduced to the very verge of bankruptcy or insolvency ? Such a state of things cannot be endured much longer. Every hour increases the difficulty of our position, and it will require months to repair the damage inflicted in a single day, if indeed our position be not rendered altogether irretrievable, a contingency by no means impossible. Every eye is now directed to the movements of those selected by our SOVEREIGN to carry on the Government of the country. It is in their power, and in their power alone, to allay the alarm and restore confidence in the country. We have already shown that it is the panic (which is the necessary result of the restrictive laws now in force) that is the great cause of the evil. If that panic Were removed—if the public generally could be induced to refrain from the silly and mis- 1 ,1 - 7 LONDON, _ TEY i , SDAY nvswixra, _ chievous hoarding an d locling up their money would they consent to use it now when it is really valuable, all further danger would be averted, but un fortunately they do not understand their real in terests. The moment the Bank sets the example by restricting its issues, and putting on the screw, they follow in the wake, and increase the evil until it be comes unendurable. The appearance of restored con fidence on the part of the Bank, would, as in 1525, when the prcyidentially discovered one-pound notes were put into circulation, allay the terror. But without the Ministerial sanction that confidence can. not be exhibited. The Bank could not now avail itself of the means by which its own safety and the national credit were then maintained. Especial care has been taken to deprive it of the weapons that once proved so efficacious, and until new powers are con ceded it must remain comparatively helpless and in active. The summoning together of Parliament to assemble. with the least possible delay, in order to take into their consideration the measures rendered necessary, would have an instant effect in calming the existing excitement. Such a course would be at the same time the most constitutional and the best calculated to afford a per manent remedy for the disease under which the country is suffering, to effect a perfect cure. Our monetary laws are radically wrong, and a thorough reform must be carried. Since the resumption of cash payments, since the Bill of 1819 has been in opera tion, the country has been subjected to constant alterna tions, to periods of apparent prosperity, succeeded by severe depressions. Persons are induced to enter into engagements, to carry on undertakings, and the moment they are inextricably involved, every facility is withdrawn, every species of accommodation is withheld, and if not rendered unable to provide for their liabilities, to meet the demands for which they are responsible, they are exposed to the most serious losses, by which they are reduced from wealth and independence to comparative poverty. If a national currency, not convertible into gold, but receivable in payment of taxes, and secured, like the national debt, on all the resources of the country, were introduced, and the amount that would be sent into circulation regulated according to the wants of the country by the Legislature, we should not be subjected to those alternations that are so deeply inju rious. The introduction of 1/. and 21. notes, which the experience of Scotland and Ireland testifies would be readily received by all classes, and taken as freely as sovereigns, would liberate by far the greater portion of the gold that is now obliged to be retained in use for the internal circulation of the country from the want of notes of a smaller de nomination than 51., and make it applicable to the purposes of commerce. The annual loss to the country may be set down at no less than 3,000,000/. sterling, which the ridiculous fancy for gold in com mon use, in place of 1/. or 21. notes, entails upon us, and this would at once be saved. The interest on the unfunded debt would be another item to be placed to the credit side of the account, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer would speedily find himself in a position to remit the tax on light, and several other imposts by which the industry of the country is materially affected. These changes, that are so urgently demanded, could only be intro duced by the Legislature. Were the Ministry now to sanction an increased issue by the Bank beyond the 14,000,000/. permitted by the Act, they would have to apply to Parliament for an Act of Indemnity for the Bank and themselves, the clause which reserved a power to the Bank, with the consent of the First Lord of the Treasury, the Chancellor of the Exche quer, and the Master of the Mint, to extend their issue upon securities beyond that amount, in the event of any particular crisis, having been omitted the Bill, notwithstanding the almost unanimous remonstrance of the bankers of London against ;the absolute limitation of the issue without any power of expansion being reserved, which they were apprehensive, whether the amount was itself a proper amount or not, would create a general feeling of uneasiness throughout the country, and restrict business, by leading to a general withdrawal of legitimate accommodation, an appre hension which, we regret to say, has been too fatally verified. Let Parliament, then, be immediately called together, and in the meantime let our chosen Ministers assume the power that should hare been granted by that Bill, and demand an indemnity for the act rendered necessary for the welfare of the people. It will readily be granted ; and they will entitle themselves to the gratitude of those whom they will have rescued from utter ruin. The circulation of Bank post-bills, as we suggested yesterday, is in the power of the people themselves, and may afford some mitigation to the pressure, by giving an increase of a million or one million five hundred thousand pounds to the circula `rom tion, and the substitution of small Exchequer bills of 51. and 101. each for those of larger denomination would also have the most beneficial effect as a temporary measure, and that they would be perfectly authorised to do, for the Act that em- powers the Treasury to issue Exchequer-bills says nothing as to their respective amount, which is left to the discretion of the Treasury, to suit the public convenience in the best manner possible, and that we need scarcely add would be by the smallest possible denominations. A system was denounced by Lord ASHLEY in Edinburgh, on Friday last, which, if it be not dis countenanced betimes, may prove singularly detri mental to the poorer portion of the population, by diminishing the advantages accruing to the very destitute through the judicious instructions of the Ragged or Industrial Schools. The system to which we allude is familiarly known throughout Scotland as the Hospital System, and the most pernicious cir cumstances in the intended movement of its advocates, in the metropolis and elsewhere, is that, under the guise of benevolence and generosity, violence is done to the noblest impulses of humanity, the embryo vice of the children is developed and con firmed, while the reclamation of their aban doned parents is rendered still more im practical and hopeless. When we remark that the hospital system is nothing less than the abduction of all the wretched children that are found sprawling in the mud of the rookeries, starving in back attics, pilfering in bye lanes, and acquiring constitutional diseases by their habitual subjection to the influences of filth, privation, and wretchedness, it will be unne cessary to add that the success of its promoters necessitates the retirement of the schoolmasters and schoolmistresses employed by the supporters of the Ragged School establishments. Persons are to be instructed by the former to gather together all the young creatures who may be found loitering about the streets of the most abandoned localities, to convey them several miles from 1 the capital to a building constructed for their reception, and then to proceed in their education, apart from their homes and families. Such is the project by which certain well meaning but mistaken philanthropists intend to supersede the previous efforts of the benevolent. We are disposed to attribute the preference which is imparted to this scheme as mainly attributable to the fact of its being apparently more expeditions in its operation, and requiring, to all appearance, less circumspection and solicitude. For this reason, especially, we should be disposed to discountenance the undertaking, because the arrangement which promises to diminish trouble and anxiety is usually one which proves in the end to be less efficacious and more expensive. That the outlay would be considerably more in sustaining such associations as would be requisite on the adoption of the proposed hospital system, is ma nifest on the mere outline of the arrangement. A larger number of employees would be necessary ; a distinct and extensive suburban establishment would be indispensable, and the plan of tuition would be more liable to become inapplicable to the capacities and position of its various inmates. Besides which, as Lord ASHLEY very excellently observed, the an - I nual exhibiti on system, which is inseparable, from all public seminaries, would be calculated to dissi pate that generous and beneficial emulation which, in the Ragged Schools, has proved the most effectual means for ensuring the menta l enlightenment and moral improvement of their other w i se d epraved and ignorant frequenters. " The days in which we live are the days of parade and ostentation," said the noble speaker. " We may do a vast deal of good, but we are indisposed that that good should pass unobserved, and, therefore, in all our public institutions we have annual parades, and the tutors are invariably striving to ensure a good annual exhibition. The conse quence is that bright and clever boys are selected and receive proper attention, while those who require the utmost care and vigilance are, in most instances, altogether overlooked." This,• we are persuaded, is of itself a sufficient reason for the rejection of the hospital project, as one which must almost inevitably abandon the destitute children to their present be nighted condition, and plunge them beyond re demption into the darkness of the most pernici ous depths of their vicious inclinations. Suppos ing, even, that in the monotonous drill of educa tion, in the daily routine of a superficial tuition, a spark of intelligence is struck from the dulness of a scholar, it must be so insignificant when regarded correlatively with his low cunning and craftiness, that it can only render him more of a proficient in the prosecution of his villanous practices. The principal evil, however, resulting from the abandonment of the Ragged and Industrial Schools, and the development of the scheme of juvenile hos pitals, will be the diminution of the benefits which are, indirectly, conferred upon the adult population by the excellent influences of the former, and the baneful stagnation of the better feelings which would be the certain result of the latter. Without in any manner exaggerating the advantages inseparable from the establishment of a Ragged or Industrial School in such:a locality as Saffron-hill, th e nuc l eus of a district of profligates and vagabonds, we may assert with perfect accuracy that almost as much good devolves therefrom upon the parents as upon the offspring. An example is afforded to the former by the ameliorated natures of the latter. A spectacle of regeneration, of a callous disposition rendered gentle and tractable, of a barren mind blooming into saga ' city, effects in the households of the adult destitute a more appreciable improvement than could by any possi bility be produced by direct and persuasive instruc tion. The separation of child and parent, which would be requisite on the opening of a juvenile hospital, would at once and entirely dissipate these indirect advantages. Therefore it is that we coincide with Lord ASHLEY in denouncing this intention of a mock and spurious philanthropy; and we should, more over, be as indisposed to witness the destruction of the admirable system of Ragged or Industrial Schools as we should be to hear of the expulsion of Mr. BROOKE, the, enterprising and humane Raja of Sarawak from those DyaJcs of Borneo, to whom he has opened the blessings ftlf civilization. Letters have been received from St. Peters burgh to the sth October. They state that a violent snow storm commenced on the 2d, and con tinued with little interruption till the sth, and that the mass of snow that had fallen was immense. A return of mild weather, however, was expected, the early severity being no evidence of its continuance. Exchange on London was 38i. sa. Madrid papers of the 12th have arrived. If the object of the mystery observed in Paris on the subject of the departure of CHRISTINA was to conceal her movements from the Progressistas, and to enable the wife of Munoz to take the palace by surprise, it has been frustrated. The Eco del Co mercio of the 12th states that she had left Paris, and was expected in Madrid on the 14th. These papers state that there was every probability of a reconciliation being patched up between the QUEEN and Paw:To, and that SERRANO, before his departure, had strongly recommended that the QUEEN should issue a decree rendering it obligatory on her husband to return and reside in the palace. SERRANO left Madrid en the 11th instant, "his purse well lined," for Grenada. His secretary, Captain CIIINCILLA accompanied him, and General Ros DE OLINO and Dr. NUNEZ went with him the first stage of his journey. Under pretence that an emeute was apprehended, the military posts were all doubled on the 11th, and NARTAEZ paraded himself about Madrid on horseback in the most insulting manner imaginable, evidently with a view to excite if possible the sensitive Madrilenos, by whom he is most cordially hated, to some outbreak. The Madri lenos, however, were too wise to be caught in the trap set for them by the Afrancesados, and NAEYAEZ was permitted to strut about unmolested, so that he could find no excuse for letting loose the troops among the people. MA.DILID BOLSA, OCT. 12.—The Three per Cents. were done at 27} at 50 days; Five per Cents. at 17, for cash; and the Debt without Interest, at s}, We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The Journal des Debats not only avows the sale of arms to the Sonderbund, but justifies the support which France is giving to the Jesuit minority in their opposition to the Diet, which is the legitimate government of the state, and more than insinuates that France in conjunction with Aus tria will intervene by force in favour of the Jesuit minority. But there is still a locus penitentia left to the Radical majority of the Diet, if it will act in such a manner that its origin and tendencies shall be forgotten, if, in fact, it will follow the example of the Government of the Barri cades it may be acknowledged as the legitimate Government of Switzerland. It is well that the organ of the dynasty of Barricades avows at length the truth, and confesses what all the world has for some time perceived, that that dynasty has, by prov ing false to its origin, endeavoured to make that origin be forgotten, but, however much the dynasty may have forgotten its origin, the French people have not forgotten it, and although they are a patient and a long. suffering people, patience has its limits, as M. GuizoT and his partisans may find to their cost if they attempt to support by arms the Jesuits of the Sonderbund against the legitimate Government of Switzerland. On this subject, we believe, the National, in the following article, gives expression to the all but universal opinion of France. The National says— "The mask is taken off. The French Government intends to interfere with arms in Switzerland, in con cert with Austria, to support the insurgent cantons. It was not enough to have acted with hostile intent against the regular government of the Diet in send ing to the league arms and ammunition. If the sword leaves the scabbard, in any part of Switzer land, her powerful neighbours must intervene to cause it to be replaced.' So spoke yesterday the Journal des Debats, or rather the Cabinet, for the origin of the notes dated from Berne is a secret for no person ; therefore we look on the declaration of the pretended correspondent as official, and it is to M. Guizot that we assign the responsibility of it. Besides all goes on consistently' in his conduct with respect to Swit zerland, and from the inimical note to the Vorort to the sale of arms and military equipments, there has not been an act of the French Government that has not manifested its firm determination to make the Sonderbund triumph. The last word of counter revolutionary police is the menace of intervention. Such is, then, the part reserved for France to play; a liberal Government, our ally, resists the attempts of a factious minority, and it is we who are going to give assistance to its enemies. Since 1830, the Government which sprang from the barricades has pitilessly refused to afford aid to the nations, which, aroused by our victory, endeavoured in their turn to escape from despotism, and now, behold, it gives a contradiction to the principle of non-intervention. What then is the powerful interest that prompts it to act thus ? Be it remarked, also, that it is doubly in contradiction with itself. When lately it bolstered up the half-overturned throne of Portugal, it appealed to the treaty of the Quadruple Alliance, and the ne cessity of succouring the regular power against in surrection. But now that pretext is wanting; in Switzerland the question lies between the Federal Government and the Se ven C an t ons le ag u e d against it; right and justice are on the side of the Diet, and yet it is in favour of the insurgents that M. Guizot wants to intervene. Will France permit this ? We cannot believe it. The idea alone of a war being possible with Switzerland would at once rouse up public opinion. Never, in fact, was a more insolent challenge given to a country, and if carried out, never would the natural tendencies, the legitimate sympathies, and the real interests of the nation be more cruelly wounded, and more audaciously slighted. No, the intervention will not take place, and if that majority in Parliament which the Cabinet has never found uncomplying should consent to allow French troops to pass the frontier to support the Jesuits, the majority of the nation outside the Chambers would rise to protest with effect against the complicity of the legislative powers." The Prince DE JoiNviLLz sailed from Toulon on the 12th, on board the Cacique steamer, to join the French squadron which was cruising in the Gulf.

Boulogne and AinienB 1311—Niunur and Li ege, 43/4-- and 4—Rouen and Havre, 20—Satubre % France, 10 MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were only 1,200 bales, business being almost suspended. American sorts declined Id. to id. per lb., compared with the rates of Friday last. Railway Shares were very much depressed. In accounting yesterday for the sudden decline in the value of the public securities, we adverted to the report of a provincial bank being in difficulties, but as the London agents, Messrs. Roberts and Co., continued to pay drafts remitted by the Royal Bank of Liverpool, the establishment in question, we could not take upon ourselves to announce the actual stoppage. Ad vices received later in the day, and given in a subsequent edition of The Sun, confirmed the mere rumour :of the morning, the details of which are given in another column. We need hardly remark that the private accounts received to-day from Liver pool are written in a most disheartening tone, and that there is a decided apprehension of worse consequences to the mercantile community, especially to certain houses said to have been accommodated to a most un reasonable amount by the fallen bank. We have just been informed that the Liverpool de putation, now in town, waits upon Lord John Russell this morning, upon the subject of the commercial diffi culties, and we should be delighted to hear of a favour able result. In the City money is said to be scarcely so much in demand, but there is, perhaps, less confidence than ever. Our trading operations will become so far cir cumscribed as to render money less in demand, but this is no satisfaction. Accounts of Oct. 14 from Leipzic, in noticing the termination of the fair, state the Greeks and merchants of Bucharest were very large buyers, the latter having purchased to the extent of more than 2,000,000 rix dol lars. The Poles and Russians also bought to some ex tent, and all engagements were duly met, notwithstand ing the sad state of affairs in England. The Funds show a marked depression compared even with yesterday. Consols have realised 784 to 794 for Transfer, a very wide range, and 801 to 791 for Ac count. At present they are a little firmer, viz., 791 for Money, and 84.f0r Time. Exchequer -bills have been 30s. to 35g. discount; and India Bonds at 40s. to 50s, discount..

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK.) The Court sat to-day for hearing cases under the Small Debts Act,. There were 93 cases set down for hearing, but few of those heard were of any interest. The following notice was posted:— "SIiERIFFS ' COURT, LONDON. " Take notice, that Courts will be holden for the purposes of the Act 10th and 11th Vic., 1847, enti tuled an Act for the more easy recovery of small debts and demands within the City of London and the Liberties thereof, on the following days :—Oct. 26 and Nov. 4, at Guildhall, and on Nov. 13, 17, and 24 ; and Dec. 2, at the Court-house, Guildhall-buildings." A PERSEVERING LANDLORD-SPENCER V. BIGGINS, This was an action to recover the sum of 31. 16s. on the balance of an account for debt. The plaintiff, upon being examined, proved that he let apartments to defendant in May, 1846. He remained in possession till September, but the un derstanding was that he was to pay from May to June 11. 165., and then go on quarterly. No money was paid, and in September he departed with out leave or notice. Plaintiff set a man to watch him, and traced the goods to Garden-row, London Wall, but before seven o'clock the next morning the goods had vanished. They were at length discovered at an auction room, and plaintiff would not part sight with the defendant till he got .31. 10s. the amount of the sale, and an order on defendant's solicitor to pay the rest. The legal gentleman, however, declined honouring the draft, and, on the contrary, said there were no visible means of getting any mere. He (plaintiff) had persevered, and after twelve months got hold of the defendant again. _Defendant said that plaintiff had offered to fight for the difference. The plaintiff denied this, and attributed the chat lenge to the defendant to fight it out, which was de. clined. Defendant said he could not pay. Plaintiff observed that he ought to be able to pay for when the apartments were taken defendant said that his wife was coming out as a singer, and would make a great sensation. Defendant admitted that he did expect so at one time, but circumstances had prevented her coining out, as some others were great attractions at present. The plaintiff said defendant filled up his time by playing at concerts, and also held a good situation. Mrs. Higgins was also an organist at a chapel. The Learned JUDGE made at order at 1/. per month. BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.) Wiiiiam Smith, one of the persons known among cabmen as " bucks," was charged before Mr. Henry with driving a cab without a badge, and without the consent of the proprietor, and, by carelessness, doing damage to that and another cab. It appeared that the prisoner was driving a cab in the Strand last evening, and ran against another, doing considerable damage to both. The axle of the one he was driving was twisted, and the panel of the other broken in. The damage amounted in one case to 11., in the other to 11. ss. The proprietors of both cabs were in attendance. The driver of the cab on which the prisoner was found, said that he had left it on the stand while he went to a coffee-house to get his tea. He asked the prisoner to " have an eye to it," but did not tell him to take it off the rank. The prisoner said the driver bid him take the cab, with a fare. Mr. HENRY said it was ♦ery improper to leave cabs unattended, or in charge of such persons as the pri soner, who thus had the opportunity of taking them away if a fare appeared. He would fine him for driving without a badge 11., or, in default of payment, sentence him to fourteen days' imprisonment. For driving without the consent of the proprietor, 21., or, in default, one month's imprisonment, and order him to pay for the damage of the two cabs, 11. and 11. ss. respectively, or, in default, sentence him to three weeks' imprisonment for each. The proprietor of the cab observed that in many cases the drivers were more to blame than the " bucks." THAMES.—( THIS D IY.) Isaac Gardive, a diminutive urchin, whose head was scarcely on a level with the dock, was charged with , assaulting p o li ce - consta bl e H 180. The constable stated that last night he heard the most discordant noises proceeding from Rosemary lane, Whitechapel, and on going to the spot he found the prisoner and about twenty other boys, who all had their faces blackened, and with tin saucepans, kettles, bones and cleavers, were annoying all the peaceable inhabitants, and creating a savage noise, the wedding of a Jew marine store-dealer not very popular in the neighbourhood. He ordered them to go home, lout the prisoner, with a tin kettle, struck him on the head, knocking his hat into the gutter, exclaiming, " Take that, Blue bottle."—(Laughter.) In answer to the magistrate he said he was not much hurt, but his head felt a little soreish. The prisoner, whimpering, said he didn't see no harm in having a lark on a weddin'-day. I wasn't him that struck the policeman. It was a bigger boy. How could I reach up to a tall policeman's head ? Mr. YARDLEY said boys must be taught to con duct themselves properly. He should fine him as., or three days' imprisonment. Locked up in default. ACCIDENT AT BRADFIELD CHURCH, BERKS.—The ancient church of this parish, which is now being exten sively repaired, and receiving great additions, under the superintendence of Mr. Scott, the well known architect, was the scene of a destructive accident on Sunday morning, the 10th instant. Between the naive and the south aisle are three new arches, surmounted by a wall ; these had just been finished, and covered by an oake❑ roof, upon which the tiles had not yet been laid. In consequence, the heavy rains which fell on Saturday night and Sunday morning last were conducted on to the rafters between the wall plates. The pressure, acting on the new and unfinished work, caused the wall to give way, and with a loud crash it fell, the materials de. scending and injuring the pulpit. After the conclusion of Divine service, which has lately been celebrated in the school-room, assistance was given by the workmen, who shored up the walls under the wall plates, which had sunk several feet, and would soon have given way entirely. Further damage was thus prevented, and we are glad to learn that although the falling of the wail and arches will necessarily occasion some delay, the damage is much less than could have been expected from such a formidable accident. Had it occurred on any other day than Sunday, it would probably have oc casioned loss of life among the numerous workmen em ployed in the building. —Berkshire Chronicle. WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH.—About eight o'clock on Wednesday evening, a woman, named Margaret Ross or Simpson, was found burned to death on the floor of her own house in Greenside-row. The discovery of this melancholy accident was first made by her husband. It is stated by the neighbours that the woman was seen in an inebriated state a few hours previously; and it is supposed that, ping too close to the tire, her clothes became ignited, when she became a victim to her own iraprudence.--Scotanan. LYCJiUM yr This theatre opened last evening for the season, under the management of Madame Vestris. The interior of the house has been completely transformed , under the direction of Mr. Bradwell, and instead of the dingy and uncomfortable place that our readers have heretofore remembered it, the Lyceum is now: far and away, the most exquisitely beautiful theatre in London. The Builder, of last week, gives the following official account of the alterations which have been made in the interior of this most elegant theatre :—" The central chandelier is taken away,. and in the place it occupied is pai n t e d th e fi gu re o f Genius, surrounded by a border of fruit. Around this are flying Cupids, connected by wreaths, which they bear, and enclosed by a second circular border (this time of flowers) within gilt bands. The lower and principal portion of the ceiling, all around, is occupied by figures of the Muses, the Seasons, and mythological groups, enclosed by a third border of flowers within bands. The members of the cornice, from which springs the coved ceiling (circular in plan), are very fully gilt, and below is a frieze of rich Italian foliage, with mask-centres, and birds in high relief, taking the appearance of white china, as do all the applied ornaments throughout the house, each gilt, on a rose coloured ground. The columns which support the gallery remain as they were, and are gilt, but the gallery front is entirely changed; the imitative bal lustrade' before-mentioned, h as di sappeare d , an d in its stead are panels, showing clusters of fruit and flowers, painted on a white ground. On the cornice from which the front rises are nine groups of sitting boys, entwined with foliage, holding branches for lights, and producing a play of outline novel and effective. The frieze here also is filled with rich foliage, as above, but on a blue ground, and altered in character by the introduction of birds in high relief, which, apparently, hold up in their bills, by strings of eggs, the drapery of the boxes beneath. The first tier of boxes shows an entirely dif ferent treatment. On the face of each of the columns at this level, encrusting them, as it were, is a well-arranged group of three boys, associated with foliage, and terminating in a bracket from which hangs a chandelier. The canopy of what was the balcony is removed, and on the front of the boxes, midway between each column, are groups of boys in relief, representing music, war, hunting, surrounded by ornamental frames, and made (like the light-bearing boys and freizes above, as before mentioned) to represent white china sparingly gilt. In intervening space s are ova l me d a lli ons containing birds and squirrels, with twinings of holly, oak, and laurel. These are surrounded by borders of flowers, and birds are introduced between them, to hold up the drapery of the dress circle in the same way as above. The front of the dress circle is new, and is made to swell out for the feet, as at the Italian Opera House. The decoration here consists of a rich scroll of china flowers, heightened with gold on it rose-coloured ground, The draperies are a ll of India crimson damask with gold fringe, and present: in addition to the device of looping them up by the birds, a departure from the usual arrangement in respect of the private boxes. Fearing the heaviness that might result from the superabund ance of the crimson drapery in this particular part of the house, Mr. Bradwell, by whom the whole of these decorations have been arranged and carried out, has omitted it in the smaller sub-divisions, and intro' duced Swiss white curtains to each box as a separa tion. The proscenium is exceedingly elegant and effective. The royal arms, also in white china, bril' liantly heightened with gold, on a rose-coloured ground, which (with a blue border, to connect it in tone with the front of the slips and gallery), are made to occupy the whole of the upper part of the prosce nium, by an extension of very elaborate foliage. In the angles, reaching from the front of the slips to the cornice of the ceiling, are rays of gold mouldings: with drops of painted flowers between them. The soffit around the opening to the stage and the pilasters beneath, have china ornaments on a blue ground. The proscenium boxes on th e d ress tier have groups °I , boys in relief. The whole of the applied ornament.% friezes, groups, and panels, are of carton pierre, de' signed by Messrs. J ac k son , o f Rathbone-place. This material, from the degree of relief and undercut which can be obtained in it, and its greater sharpness, seals much superior to papier mache." The coup d'ceil, on entering the theatre is beauti.. ful exceedingly. The substitution of the smaller chandeliers, suspended round the fronts of the boxes, for the great central chandelier, is a great improve' anent. It adds to the lightness of the house in every re' spect. The contrast between the white muslin curtains of the boxes and the crimson drapery is very beauti' ful. Each box is an elegant boudoir, The n ew re' gulations, too, are admirable. There is ao half price to any part of the house. The purchase of tickets for the dress circle at the box office will ensure the places for the whole evening, without the usual exac tion of an extra shilling. Those taken in the same way for the upper circle will ensure the places to the end of the first act. No money will be allowed to be received by the box-keepers on any pretence whatever. The doing away with half price is a great step towards " purifying" the audience, and will be found more effectual tha n th e ostentat i ous " barring off " adopted by Macready at Drury-lane. The thanks of the public are due to Madame Vestris for defending them from the extortionate practices of box-keepers, and this reform, we trust, will be adopted in every theatre in the kingdom. The company is perhaps the strongest vaudeville company ever collected together; besides Madame Vestris and Mr. Charles Matthews, it includes Mrs. Stirling, Mrs. Fitzwilliam, Miss Lee, Mrs. C. Jones, Mr. Harley, Mr. Buckstone, Mr. Leigh Murray , Mr. Meadows, Mr. Robert Roxby, Mr, Frank Matthews, Mr. Selby, Mr. Granby, and divers provincial aspirants for metropolitan fame' Mr. R. Roxby is the stage manager, Mr. R. Hugh° the leader of the band, Mr. Edward Fitzwilliam the musical director, Mr. Oscar Byrn the ballet-master: and Mr. W. Beverley the scene painter. The nese act drop, painted by this last gentleman, is s uperb. A new piece, entitle , ' The Pride of the Market, all adaptation by the indefatigable Planche from the French, was chosen as the opening piece. Madame Vestris was of course the heroine, and her reception was perhaps the greatest ever witnessed within the walls of a theatre. Hats and handkerchiefs w ere waved from all parts of the house, and the enthil• siastic shouts of welcome with which she was greeted lasted for several minutes. The scene of the piece is laid in Paris during the reign of Louis Xrir. Marton (Madame Vestris) the pride of the March des Innocens, is a bouquetiere who has attracted the attention of the libertine Marquis de Volange, She is engaged to an honest baker in the market, one Isidore Farine (most quaintly represented by Buck stone), whose jealousy of the Pride of the Market is excessively amusing. The Marquis, disguising his. servants as officers of justice, ord ers th em to arr es t Marton, and carry her to his chateau at Versailles. The indignation of the market women at this outrage knows no bounds. They assembled together, under the command of the mother of the market, Javotte (cal' tally acted by Mrs. C. Jones), and proceed to mak e a formal complaint to the King of the conduct of the Marquis. The King or d ers t h e Marquis either t o marry Marton or t o go to the Baas' He promises to marry M arton, who refuse s to release him fr om hi s prom i se unless he gives bia consent to the imm e di a t e marr i age of his sister: Mademoiselle de Volange (Miss H. Gilbert) w ith the Chevalier de Bellerive (Mr. Parselle) who had res. cued Marton from the castle of the Marquis, en d whose suit had been rejected by the Marquis on ac' count of his poverty. Th e M arqu i s consents, an d Marton releasing him from his promise, b e comes Madame Farine. The piece is put upon th e stage with all the refinement and elegance for which the management of Madame Vestris has ever been celebrated. She was called for at the conclusion and led on by Mr. Robert Roxby. The second piece, also a new one, is entitled The Light Dragoons. This, however, is a misnomer : it should have been called the " Heavies," for even the buoyant volubi' lity of Charles Matthews was crushed beneath its weight. He looked exceedingly well, and was re' ceived as an old favourite should be received. Th e farce of Brother Ben, w ith H arley as Snuffleton, snd Charles Matthews as B en B owles, concluded the, evening's entertainm en t at the reasonable hour o f eleven o'clock. The national anthem was sung at the, conclusion of th e fi rst piece. The house was crowded in every part. Long before the rising of the curtail' it was impossible to procure standing room. STANDARD THEATRE. Johnson and Lee, the enterprising proprietors ° f this natty but favourite place of amusement, brought out last night what they call e d th e i r own vers i on o( the inimitable Cruikshank's Bottle; or the Progress of a Drunkard; and we are bound to confess, aft er witnessing its first production, that it is a most da' cellent version, and one likely to bring grist to their mill. The different characters were excellently sue tained by Howard, Bird, Reynold, T. Lee, Mi Eliza Clayton, Miss M ar ti n , an d M rs. L oveday, a nd the piece was announced for repetition am id lows plaudits from a house crowded to the ceiling. I : 4e Bottle was followed by The Jacket of Blue, and t ue entertainments of the evening concluded with the Scenes of the Circle, introducing the whole of the French company, together with the performance 01 the Numidian Arabs.
