THEATRE ROYAL GLISGOW.—At this theatre Mr. G.
V. Brooke, with Mrs. Vickery and Miss Fanny Cath-
cart, have appeared nightly this week. In a former
notice we gave our opinion of Mr. Brooke's merits as an
actor ; and, on seeing him in other parts than Othello,
we have had no reason to alter that opinion, and con-
sider him the greatest actor of the day. In the part of
Hamlet, the same innate dignity, the same purpose-like
expression, which distinguished his Othello, were again
conspicuous. Mr. Brooke's Hamlet is simple and true
to nature, yet powerfully rendered. He lets the audience
know that his madness is merely assumed, and invests
the part with so life-like an air, that the whole play is
better understood, and becomes what it should be, a
scene of action, not a vehicle only for the performance of
an abstract creation. On Thursday night Mr. Brooke
appeared as Shylock, Mrs. Vickery supporting the charac-
ter of Portia. Mr. Brooke again, in this difficult part,
completely carried the audience with him ; he looked the
character to the life, and many of his attitudes and ex-
pressions of the countenance would have formed a study
for an artist. But we thought we observed traces of ex-
haustion from overwork, and we would caution Mr.
Brooke against the undue taxation of his transcendent
powers. To play consecutively such heavy parts for a
month on a stretch is too much exertion for any frame,
however powerful. Apart from this, his Shylock was
" indeed tue Jew that Shakspere drew." Mrs. Vickery's
elocution in the trial scene was faultless.—Glasgow
Paper.
THE NEW CLEARING-ROHM—The admission of the
London Joint-stock Banks to the clearing-house will
commence to-day with the London and Westminster
Bank. The London Joint-stock and the Union
