HAYMARKET THEATRE.

A sequel, but not quite an equal, to the celebrated Box
and Car, was produced last evening under the title of
Box and Cox Married and Settled. Mr. Sterling Coyne
is the author. Box and Cox are supposed to have re-
tired from business and got married, and after a separa-
tion of some time, the friends find themselves residing
with their spouses, in their old lodgings at Mrs.
Bouncer's. They form a domestic partie carree, the har-
mony of which is disturbed by the squabbles of the
ladies, who are not so amicably disposed as their hus-
bands. Mr. Box recognises in Mrs. Cox a fair one with
whom he had been smitten in a railway carriage some
eighteen months before. Ho had purloined one of her
gloves, in which he had placed a sentimental effusion
addressed to Miss Fanny Hawes. While they are at
tea he attempts to convey this glove to Mrs. Cox under
a muffin; but the muffin falls into the hands of Mr. Cox,
who reads th© epistle, and a tragi-comic scene of jealous
wrath and confusion ensues. After several other inci-
dents of the most extravagant farce, things are ex-
plained, and harmony is restored among the matrimo-
nial quartett. If there be little plot or incident, and no
striking liveliness nor wit in the dialogue, Keeley and
Buckstone are irresistibly droll, and the audience
laughed consumedly. The farce will have a good run.

THE JOURNALIST.
As shakes the canvass of a thousand ships,
Struck by a heavy land-breeze, far at sea—
Ruffle the thousand broad-sheets of the land,
Filled with people's breath of potency.
A thousand images the hour will take,
For him who strikes, who rules, who speaks, who sings;
Many within the hour their grave to make—.
Many to live, far in the heart of things.
A dark-eyed spirit he who coins the time,
To virtue's wrongs, in hose disloyal lies—
Who makes the morning's breath, the evening's tide,
The utterer of his blighting forgeries.
How beautiful who scatters, wide and free,
The gold-bright seeds of loved and loving truth!
By whose perpetual hand, each day, supplied—
Leaps to new life tho empire's heart of youth.
To know the instant and to speak it true,
Its passing lights of joy, its dark, sad cloud,
To fix upon the unnumbered gazers' view,
Is to thy ready hand's broad strength allowed.
There is an in-wrought life in every hour,
Fit to be chronicled at large and told—
thine to pluck to light its secret power,
And on the air its many-coloured heart unfold.
The angel that in sand-dropped minutes lives,
Demands a message cautious as the ages—
Who stuns, with dusk red words of hate, his ear,
That mighty power to boundless wrath enrages.
Mar not the quiet of a Chosen Land,
Thou grimy man, over thine engine bending;
The spirit pent that breaches the life into its limbs,
Docile for love, is tyrannous in rending.
[The above stanzas,
which so clearly set for the mis-
sion and duties of the Journalist, are taken from
"Poems on Man in the Republic,"by Cornelius Mathews,
of New York—author of many works in prose and verse,
among which, his " a Legend of the Mound
Builders" (written in 1839, when lie was only 23 years
old), is an
epic in prose, solemn and majestic. As a
critic,
novelist, poet, dramatist, and Orator, Cornelius
Mathews has won more than an American reputation.
Several of his works have been successfully republisha
in England, where, too, ho is well known as the most
and meat constant pleader for
earnest, most eloqnsnt,
that set of international just' ice—a Coppq • -
