MR. AND MRS. HERMANN VEZIN IN LIVERPOOL.
—The Liverpool Daily Post of Feb. 23 says:--
"' Donna Diana' is the productior, of Mr. Westland Mars-
ton, and it was produced at our Tteatre Royal for the first
time last night with entire success, The scene is laid in
Spain, the plot is Spanish, and a spa/Ash play suggested the
plot rather than furnished the dia;ogue. Every situation
tells; every word sparkles like a diamond well set, and the
characters are made miserable without having an oppor-
tunity of communicating their misery to the audience ; on
the contrary, their distress become, enjoyment. The hero
of the comedy is personated by Mr,
Vezin; the heroine by
Mrs. Vezin, well remembered in Liverpool as Mrs. Charles
Young. Around these two revolved the other artistes,
assisting but hardly forwarding the plot. Mr. Vezin's
Donna Diana was one of those creations which enter into
the mind and never leave it. All leas grace and beauty; it
was not eating, it was reality. She moved as it were
through an atmosphere of fascination. Mr. Vezin is an ac-
well in a splendid dress. It would be difficult to, say whether
ethomeppliarsthseuditaerdlihstiem; or he possesses a fine figure, and set it of
he the part Lest. There was no ap-
parent effort; and although elaborate, it did not seem so.
Confiding in himself, he never attempted to t ake the audi-
ence into his confidence. Donna Diana hadl a touch of
Beatrice in her, but was by no means an imitation. In Don
Caesar there was nothing of Benedick. He was a lover
from the first ; her abhorrence of the sex was only put on.
Owing to their characters and position, the la en encounter
of their wits was constant; and the language was marvel-
lously chaste and brilliant, without any attei npt at senti-
ment or poetic passion. After the second act Mr. and Mrs.
Vezin were called before the curtain, and thi a termination
of the play enjoyed a full flood of approbation.. The comedy
was beautifully put uu the stage, and is sure f jo have a long

run,",

By the arrival of the Calcutta and China mails

Jan. 28 ; Colombo, Jan. 30 ; Hong Kong, Jan. 15 ;
and Singapore, Jan. 22.

INDIA.
Advices from Calcutta are meagre, two days
only having elapsed since the departure of the pre-
vious mail to England.
The Great Exhibition of Agricultural Produce
and Macinery in Calcutta has been, and continues
to be, a very great success. Immense interest is
taken in it by all the natives.
"We are happy to state," says the Hurkaru,
" that the commercial crisis has passed, and that
there is a sensible improvement in the money mar-
ket. This rapid return of the market to a healthier
condition, after so long a depression, is attributable
to the simultaneous arrival of three mail steamers,
viz., the 26th November, 10th December, at Cal-
cutta, and the 3d of December at Bombay, bringing
the Secretary of State's bills on Treasuries, and bul-

lion. From the returns of the Bank of Bengal,
dated the 13th inst., it is gratifying to learn that
the reserves are steadily increasing."
The first locomotive in connection with the rail•
way in Ceylon has been landed at Colombo, and a
part of the railway will shortly be open for traffic.
