;um iesy commanas tne primary reference to the Lzdy Macbeth.
[ti this chanter Mrs. Vickery, from the Theatre Royal, Drury-
ane,. made her debut before a Liverpool audience, and, if her
mpersonation i f the character does not ervi.le the artiste
o be ranked' in the highest class of histrionic celebrities,
ill, it Was an embodiment which evinced a careful readine d

, and
nlered in a lady-like, Chaste, and truly

appreciation of the autho.,
elegant manner. if there was a deficiency of power in the scenes
in which she works upon her guilty spouse to " do the deed?' that
v • cuum was amply supplied by the deep pathos and sublimity in
which her last scene was acted. The recurrence to the blood upon
that ":little hand." and the mental wanderings of a 'diseased brain,
were pourtrayed,with a truthfulness which deservedly won for Mrs.
Viaei y loud plaudits. Mr. Barry Sullivan, whose metropolitan fame
has been welt earned, played Macbethin a mann r which completely
establishes amongst us a claim to rack amongst our first
tragedians. Mr. Sullivan rejects mere imitative toiling in, the
beaten track of tradition, and follows the guidance of his own con-
ception, aided by careful study. He avoids stale stage tric s, and
disdains having recourse to the mere making of points. Tasteful y
following his ideal, he presents the author and not the individual,
and,,his success is achieved by the success with which he rivets
brrathless attention and gain! possession of the intellect
and judgment of his audience. Tints it was with
his rendering of the well known dagger scene before, and the
equally familiar soliloquy after the murder. - In the banquet scene,
and that with the weird sisters, he disitlayed the perlen mastery
of that most difficult of dramatic Impersonations—subdued acting.
The so sequent scenes, up to the combat and dea in, though of •a
different, character, were equally great, and were rewarded by
plaudits as long continued as they were simultaneously repeated
whin he was called before the curtain. Mr. Sullivan has accom-
plished a t iureph, and we doubt not will worthily wear his
histrionic laurels. Mr. Lora ne went through Maeda, carefully,
the generally subordinate part of flosse was made important by the
chute manner In which it was sustained by Mr. F. L. Villiers, and
we may dismiss the o her parts by the general remark that they
were meat respectably filled. The musical arrangements, with
Lock's music, were corifided to M. Buchez, and most creditably
was the task discharged. The chorus was perfect, and therefore
effectivr, and the solo parts beautifully given by Mr. Edward Lyons
as Hecate, and by Miss Landon. Miss G. Oliver, Miss George,.
and Miss Goodall as the singing witches. Of the scenery;
we may say it would go far to rival any ever executed
by Grieve, Telbin. or the most famed Of metropolitan artists. These
and the novel effects introduced in the adparition of Banpo in
the banquet scene. and in the incaotetion scene where the weird
summons "came like shadows, co • efepai t," was, to the letter,
fulfilled with exquisite effect. On the whole, we congratulate the
p ay-going public upon the treat which the produiri in of the
tragety in this form affords th m, Mr. Ihr y Sullivan on the
triumph he has achieved. and the inlafatigable manager, Mr.
Copeland, upon the p eduction of a !prate, le which has already
ft led the house, and which cannot tail to add to the coffers of
the treasury.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
Yesterday morning, about ten o'clock, the neighbour-
hood of the Exchange was suddenly and frightfully
agitated, by a report that a broker had committed
suicide by cutting his throat in the news- room.
The intelligence flew with great rapidity, and in a
brief period the flags and rooms were thronged
by anxious groups, who sought, in the most excited
manner, information regarding this truly lamentable
affair. As far as we have been able to collect, the
principal facts are these: —About the hoer mentioned,

anil that his attention was attracted
et door, from whence issued a
quantity of blood. On proceeding to examine the
place, he was horrified to find Mr. Tatham, a well
known broker, of the firm of Hill, Tatham and Co.,
weltering in blood and nearly in an expiring state. He
at once raised an alarm, and in a brief period two
medical gentlemen vi ere in attendance. Every assis-
tance was rendered, but the removal of the unfortunate
gentleman was found impossible, in such a
state. His throat was desperately cut with a razor,
evidently by his own hand. It is needless to say, the
sensation this fearful affair has created through town
is great. We do not give circulation nor credit to any
of the rumours in reference to this deeply deplored trans-
action. We underitand that the unfortunate gentleman
is about 32 years Of age, and was highly esteemed in the
mercantile world, whilst in social life he was admired,
and his society much valued, amongst a wide spread
circle of attached friends, amongst whom the deepest
sorrow Prevails. Indeed, we have not heard of a more
lamentable case for many years, nor of one that has

caused such a raofd that the regret
