Another extraordenary advance took place in rail-
way shares this morning, a lively demand for nearly
all stocks being experienced, and the rise in many
cases was as much as 21. per cent. on the enhanced

however, this market has become sensibly flatter.
French shares arc quiet, and, in consequence of the

Sig,—As there seems to be a want of shipping at

Surely they would thereby be better employed that, are

DRAMA.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.-GERMAN PERFORM-

ANCES. ---
Clocthe's celebrated poem of " Faust "—for it is
I rather a dramatic poem than a play—was performed last
night to a very crowded audience. The poem is more po-
pular in England than in Germany, where it is rather ad-
mired by the few than either relished or understood by the
multitude. Its merits, as a poem, have caused several
translations of it to be made, and it is even more familiar to
the Badiak students of German than to the Germans
en. In Germany it is very rarely performed, and
we know habitual playguen who have lived fur many
years there who have never seen it. In fact, it us
nem and vulgar as a poem, indelicate and disagreeable to
reed, and still more disagreeable to see. Guetheiss in fact
been reproached by some of the best of German critics fur
having made his MrphistopAeles unnecessarily vulgar.
Without a great number of very necessary curtailments,
it is barely presentable to an English audience, and
with them, the story is deprived of much of its
interest, and becomes almost unintelligible. It was per-
formed, however, last night with considerable applause.
Herr Emil Devrient was Faust, but his part is over-
whelmed by the more important part of Miphialopheles
(Herr Keuhn). It is of the latter, in fact, that the critic
must speak, rather than the former. He was admirably
1 , and was most devilish. Margaret, the victim, was
performed by Eraulein Schaeffer, who did justice to the
creation of the oet.llorrEmillhvrient,thoughgreatinaU
n
the characters ho undertakes, has made latest less his own,
and has apparently studied it less than any other part we
have seen him in. We are not inclined to speak well of a
play which we think ought not to have been produced, but
the audience received it, particularly the latter parts of it,
with vocif, mass applause. Iler Majesty was present, and it
was noticed that Prince Albert heartily appreciated the
satirical points in the speeches, and appeared to take great
interest in the performance.

SIR JAREB nltoolih.—Yeldenlap was printed a

A moderate badness has been done in mining
shares to-dny, and the market presents no feature of
novelty. The prices at which sales have been made
are reported to us as follows by the most respectable
brokers and dealers, but due allowance must be
made for the wide margin frequently existing in this
rariable market us between buyer and seller :
South Cal-adult, 130 ; Clive, 6/, 6 ; Great Wheal Al-

There was less business in the sold mining diem
to-day, and prices remain stationary. The feel-
ing of the market, however, is sensibly firmer
than it was a few Ive.ks back. The non official re-
turns areas billuws :—Australian Consols, dis. to

THE NORTH V. TIIE SOUTH.—This match woe
brought to a conclusion yesterday, at Lord's, in favour of

SUICIDE BY A ClllLD.—Yesterday Mr. Wm.
Carter held an inquest at the Bridge House, Old Kest-
road, on the body of John Wm. Fisher, aged 12 can.
Deceased was the eon of a printer, residing at 6, Union-
plaoe, Croeby.row, Borough. On Tuesday evening last he
made an attempt to strike his brother with an iron poker:
his mother having entered the house at the moment he was
in the set of striking his brother, she chastised him with a
thin strap, when he jumped out of his bedroom window
and ran away. His brother followed after him and
found him. Ile requested him to return home,
but he refused, and said he intended to drown him-
self. His brother then told him if he did not return
he would call a policeman, and give him into custody. Ile,
however, ran away up Mace Pond, and he was lost sight of
in St. Thomas's-street. The brother proved that the de-
ceased was treated with the greatest kindness by his mo-
ther and father, but he was a very had boy, and exceed-
ingly passionate.—Thomas Moore, police-constable, No. 231 '
M, proved finding the body of the deceased in the Surrey
Canal, on Sunday evening, near the bridge. There were
no marks of violence on the body. The whole of the wit-
nesses were unanimously of opinion that the deceased had
destroyed himself, and the jury found that he committed
suicide by drowning himself when labouring under fear of
returning home.

OXFORD GRAND COMMEMORATION.

The great event of the week, and one in which the
chief interest is concentrated, is the Eugenia or Com-
memeratiost of Founder. and Benefactors, which took place
.cooing in the Sheldonian Theatre. The spier-
Omni wee densely crowded in every part. As soon
es Ile walergradeates had taken possession of their gallery,
imneenneweed their proceedings by giving a hearty round
of kr the Queen, then for the ladies, a Imo hearty
au for Prince Albert, and a volley of mad kisses
he Lord John Russell, the University CovYslw, Louis
Mr. Hermosa the Remni sovirepepor, and the
JMadw proctor • the disesiedeat deraeasaaalea- la the latter
ease far exceeding all the others, sad seattealag for several
minutes. The 'motile' of the awes et she Bishop of
Exeter was the signal for such a geared damastratien of
approval as has rarely been washstand ; the maims of the
area joining most heartily in it. Dr. Pug was bestared
in a similar manner, though not to Aegean Mani ; sad Mir
Sellons name was received in a way which rendered it diffi-
cult to say whether the ayes or noes predominated. The
mention of the Duke of Wellington reunited the scattered
forces and an enthusiastic burst of applause rose from all
sides. The Great Exhibition received no response, but
was treated as the light of other days, and no disposition
was evinced towards it. The name of the Archbishop of
Canterbury was received with mingled tokens. Then
earns a hearty burst of applause for Lord Derby and him
government ; three cheers for the judges and one fee the
jury. The mention of the next parliament was re-
ceived with much cheering. Mr. Gladstone's name spread
disunion in the camp, and cheers and hisses alternated.
Teetotallers and Bloomers were kindly hired, public schools
were cheered and private ones decried. At length the pro-
cesaion, headed by the Vice-Chancellor, Heads of Houses,
Noblemen, and Doctors of Civil Law, entered the Theatre,
when the National Anthem was poured from the organ.
The Vice-Chancellor then opened the proceedings, and the
honorary degreeof Doctor of Civil Law was conferred on a
number of individuals, who were prevented by Dr. Blies
in addresses descriptive of their merits and claims to the
distinction. The honorary degree of Doctor in Civil Law
was conferred on Don Dominico Lassa Di Pictra Santa,
Duke of Serradcfaleo and Prince of San Pietro; the Right

EDWARD MI. DRAY'S CASE.

ROME, Jl•Ne 18.

The affair of Edward Murray as approaching a de-
cisive conclusion. His Holiness is to look over the
rieAL elo. or summary of the evidence and trial, in a
day or two, and when that formality is gone through
his sovereign tint will be pronounced. Ile has
already urn the petition forwarded through the
consul by the British residents in Home,
and has returned it to Cardinal Antonelli,
with orders for it to be brought to him
kmin, together with the rise ret to. His eminence
meanwhile is to ascertain the respectability of
the parties who signed the petition, and has
applied for that purpose to Mr. Petri., who
will be able to satisfy the cardinal fully in
the matter, as he is personally acquainted with
almost all the subscribers. The instructions
nx, Ivey from the foreign office inculcate the necessity
of using every exertion to save the prisoner's life,
and no doubt Mr. Peter, as well as Signor Ercole,
who has born appointed to the office of pro-consular
agent during the absence of Mr. Freeborn, will act
op to the spirit of their orders.
The lintish consul at .tneona has not yet received
permi.sion from Home to see Murray alone, which
is a tact that reflects no great credit upon the Papal
government and tribunals, as, if everything had been
carried on fairly, there could be no possible objec-
tion. now that the trial is concluded and sentence
passed, to allow the prisoner to hold free converse
with a fellow-countryman. Whatever the opinion
a the public regarding Edward Murray may
be at Ancona, or elsewhere, there is no
doubt that all agree in one sentiment of
admiration at the energetic demonstration of the
Itrai,h government, and the humane patriotism of
those members of the legislation who rushed at once
to the the succour of a countryman in distress,
a:though humble and afar oft:
Musts sensation had been produced in Rome by an
athuipt on the part of a Neapolitan footman to-poi-
son the French ambassador and his family, all of
shuns had a narrow escape.

DENMARK.

The Danish ministry is engaged in a dispute with
the Germanic Diet on the subject of the Holstein
federal contingent. The Diet demands that the
King of Denmark, as Duke of holstein, shall hold a
separate military contingent at its disposal ; and the
monarch replies, in very decisive language, that he
has as good a right as the Emperor of Austria to
keep his army "one and indivisible;" and to desig-
nate whatever troops he may please to the German
service. All ho will promise is, that a federal
contingent shall remain as a rule in Holstein, and be
generally composed of natives of the duchy. The
Diet considers that it has made a bad bargun in re-
storing the sovereign authority without assuring its
own influence at the same time.
