HAYMARKET THEATRE.

A sequel, but not quite an equal, to the celebrated Box
end Cc*, was produced last evening under the title of
Box and Coa Married and Settled. Mr. Sterling Coyne
is tho 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 fled themselves residing
with their spouses, in their old lodgings at Mrs.
Bouncer's. They form a domestic parsie carrie, 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 the epistle, and a tragicomic scene of jsaleus
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—
Ruse the thousand broad-eheets of the land,
Filled with people's breath of potency.
A thousand images the hoar 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 base 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 the empire's he art of youth.
To know the instant and to speak it true,l

To fix s ;die we ,
Is to thy ready hand's broad strength allowed.
There is an in-wrought life in every hour,
Fit to be chronicled at largo and told—
'Tis thine to pluck to light its sF crtt power,
And on the air its many-colourkd heart unfold.
The angel that in sand-dropped minutes lives,
Demands a rees,age 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 men, over alive engine bending;
The spirit pent that breathes the life into its limbs,
Docile for love., is tyrannous in rending.
[The above stanzas, which so clearly act for the mis-
sion and duties of the Journalist, aro 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 " Behemoth, a Legend of the Mound
Builders" (written in 1839, when he was only 23 years
old), is an epic in prose, solemn and majestic. As a

Mathews has won more than an American reputation.

A prospectus was issued yesterday_, of a Swedish
Railway Company, with a capital of 410,6701., the privilege
for which has been conceded by the Government for forty
years, with a guarantee during that time of a minimum
diviThhd of 5 per cent. The object of the line is to facili-
tate the traffic across the country from the Baltic to the
North Sea, but its length in the first instance will be only
88 miles, advantage being taken of the great interior lakes
of Wenern and Malarn, each about 90 miles long, to com-
plete the route by steam navigation. Out of the guarantee
of 5 per cent., 1 per cent, is to be reserved to reimburse the
capital at the expiration of the company's title. About
three years back an analogous proposition was brought
for-
ward in London, but it was then contemplated that the
only
guarantee line
should be conceded in perpetuity, and consequently the
ime,
guarantee offered was 4 per cent. for fifteen years. T
