HAY MARKET THEATRE.

Mr. Charles Kean appeared last evening in the cha-
racter of lago, the first time he has appeared in that
character in London since the memorable evening when
the Keans—father and son—appeared together for the
first and only time. The character of lago is perhaps
the most difficult to delineate in the whole course of the
drama, because it is pre eminently a character of intel-
lect, refined by malice, but unalloyed by violent passion.
I igo is as nearly a complete incarnation of the evil
principle as it is possible to imagine. As it
is a character of pure intellect, none but a person
of the very highest intellectual powers can adequately
represent it; and the perfection of the representation
will be in exact proportion to the amount of intellectual
power, and to the extent of intellectual cultivation of
the representative. Hence it is that the lago of Mr.
Charles Kean is so infinitely superior to that of any of
his contemporaries; he enters into the very inmost re-
cesses of the character, and pourtrays faithfully the very
lago that Shakspere imagined. There is an appearance
of reckless bonhommie about the lago of Mr. Charism
Kean in the scenes with Cassio, and an appearance of
blunt honesty in those with Othello, which is the very
perfection of hypocrisy; and in his closing scene wh er
his true character is discovered he looked as though he
were the very spirit of evil himself. Mrs, Charles Kean
sustained the character of Emilia, and it is much to be
desired that ladies of Mrs. C. Kean's talent and genius
would more frequently condescend to appear in Shak-
sperian characters of this calibre, in order to let the
world see of what Shakspere is capable. The great-
ness of Shakspere is not yet half appreciated, and will
not be until we have a few more such accomplished
artistes as Mrs. Charles Kean to interpret even his ap-
parently minor characters. Miss Laura Addison acted
Desdemona with infinite grace and feeling, and the
audience were enthusiastic in their applause. Mr. James
Wallack acted Othello with his usual taste and judg-
ment. The house %%as crowded.

(From the Chronicle)
The series of Windsor Entertainments-" having
been brought to a close, a new attraction was afforded'
at this theatre last night, by the production of Othello,
with a cast which served to develope the present
strength of the establishment, and which, as, regarded
tho juxtaposition of the performers, at least,, was-also
new. We have before had occasion to observe that Mr.
and Mrs. Kean have shown a laudable desire to abandon
some of the inconvenient habits of modern actors, and to
perform characters in which they can please the public,
or add to the strength of a cast, regardless of that
very natural jealousy in artists which seeks to monopo-
lise the leading parts only, and to condemn all others as
beneath their professional rank. That the performer
makes the character has seldom been more signally proved
than by Mrs. Kean is her rendering of Emilia. It is not
too much to say that it was an original conception—
at least by comparison with living artists, and our tra-
ditions of others—and it certainly approached more
nearly to the palpable design of Shakspere in creating
the character than that of any actress we have seen. The
Emilia of Mrs. Kean is a gentlewoman, as the wife of a
man in lago's position, and the chosen companion of
Desdemona, must be supposed to be. In dress, in man-
ner, and bearing, this characteristic is never lost sight of
throughout Mrs. Kean's performance. She is spirited,
uncontrollable in the assertion of the rights of her sex,
violent even in her denunciation of the villany of her
husband, and the short-sighted precipitancy of Othello;
but in the most telling parts of her performance she
never oversteps that dignity and modesty of car-
riage and conduct which become the lady of
an officer and the friend of his general's wife. From
first to last Mrs. Kean's performance last night was full
of fine, natural, and artistic touches; and she met her
reward in the ready applause and sympathy of the
audience. To Mr. Kean's lago must also be accorded
the merit of originality of conception. It is in character
depending more on the mental grasp than the mere
physical development that this gentleman excels. It is
comparatively easy to play a conventional Hamlet, or a
conventional Iago; Mr. Kean's merit in each character is
that he strikes out a path of his own. To speak more
correctly, he avoids the beaten track of stage tradition,
and seeks that marked out by the author. The merit of
Mr. Kean's lago lies in its being neither conventional
nor over-acted. In the earlier scenes there is a geniality
and a bonhommie necessary as a foundation for the confi-
dence he inspires, in all but his wife, who alone sees him
from time to time as he really is. In the first soliloquy
he gives the cue to the audience, but without all that by-
play of transparent villany which in most actors of
lago renders Othello'a weakness unaccountable, and
by so much destroys the interest of the piece. In
the scenes in which the Moor is gradually impreg-
nated with the poison which is to be his ruin
Mr. Kean maintained the same abstinence from mere
stage effect, and the action of the piece was thereby ren-
dered natural. The quiet, cool, hypocritical indifference
of the latter scenes was also admirably given, only at
intervals the mocking devil being apparent in an occa-
sional flash or glance of the eye, or curl of the lip, as
silently he gloats over his victim. The final expression
of intense hatred and gratified revenge as he quits the
stage was given by Mr. Lean with concentrated power.
Miss Laura Addison was the Desdemona. Her concep-
tion, as is usual with her, was excellent. If this
young lady would trust more to her own impulses
she would produce a more powerful impression, and
her natural taste would prove a safe guide. As it is,
she fails in the attempt at artistic elaboration. Above
all, she should strive to conquer bar habit of
delivery—a drawling monotony, and an artificial in-
inflection of the voice. Whenever she allows herself to
be carried away by her feelings she produces a powerful
impression. This was the case in her Juliet; and her
sudden burst of energy when protesting her innocence to
Othello, in the fourth act, was electrical in its influence
on the audience. Of the Othello of Mr. Wallack we
need say no more than that it was a very respectable
performance, exhibiting much taste and feeling. Mr.
Creswick, as Cassio, quite sustained the average merit
of the performances. The principal performers were
called before the curtain—Mr. and Mrs. Kean especially
being greeted with enthusiastic applause. The house
was crowded. It may not be generally known that Mr.
Charles Kean's first performance of lago was on the oc-
casion of the last appearance of his father as Othello,
when the father and son played together. Mr. Charles
Kean has not, we believe, since repeated the character
of lago in London, until last evening.
(From the Times.)
On the occasion of Mr. Ransford's benefit last night,
the tragedy of Othello was performed with a remarkable
cast, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean taking the two cha-
racters which are usually deemed secondary to those of
the Moor and Desdemona. Both the lago of Mr. Kean
and the Emilia of Mrs. Kean have peculiarities which
distinguish them from the versions of any other per-
formers. It is common for lago to obtrude his villany
so conspicuously thaktie Moor, without being very acute,
would naturally see, through the artifice; at .once. Mr.
Kean lays more emphasis on the dissimulation
of the man, and does not seek to keep his
villanous intention constantly in sight. There
is less of the fiend than is usually exhibited, but
more of the "honest lago," who might easily be made a
confidant. This appearance is skilfully and sedulously
maintained till towards the end of the piece, and it is
not until his villany is unmasked that the full malignity
of Ingo is brought into his countenance. Emilia is
usually represented as a. virago, a character in which
an actress may put forth all her loudness, certain that
the loudness will fall on popular passages—for it is the
great luck of Emilia that her's is a popular part. The
version of Mrs. Charles Kean may be expressed in a
sentence—she made Emilia a woman less of violent dis-
plays, than of deep convictions. lago and Othello
were not rated half so furiously as usual, but you felt
that every speech was uttered in earnest ; and Emilia,
by being more than commonly feminine, gained addi-
tional interest, even though she sacrificed a few of the
old clap-traps. The Othello of Mr. Wallack is a clever
conventional performance, with a tendency to over zes-
ticulation, but with a genuine burst of passion here and
there, which deserved the applause it obtained. Miss
Laura Addison, as Desdemona, showed a great deal of
feeling and intelligence, evidently entering in the sim-
plicity and trusting nature of the part, but failing to do
justice to her own conceptions, through the want of flu-
ency in her declamation. The sudden and earnest
asseveration of her innocence in the fourth act was one
of those decided "points" that startle a whole audience
into applause. The fopperies of Roderigo were rendered
more than usually substantial by Mr. Wigan heightening
the indignant side of the character. The principal actors
were called before the curtain by an audience crammed
to the utmost possible density.

Order for Committee read; Motion made, and Question
proposed, " That Mr. Speaker do now leave the Chair :"
Amendment proposed, to leave out from the word " That"
to the end of the Question, in order to add the words " the
net expenditure of the Government for the year 1e35 (Par-
liamentary Paper, No. 260, 1847), amounted to 44,422,0001.;
that the net expenditure for the year ended sth January,
1849 (Parliamentary Paper, No. 1, 1849). amounted to
54,1A5,000/. ; the increase of nearly ten millions having been
caused principally by successive augmentations of our war-
like establishments, and outlays fcr defensive armaments:
" That no foreign danger, nor necessary cost of the Civil
Government, nor indispensable disbursements for the ser-
vices in our dependencies abroad, warrant the continuance of
this increase of expenditure:
" That the Taxes required to meet the present expendi-
ture, impede the operations of agriculture and manufactures,
and diminish the funds for the employment of labour in all
branches of productive industry, thereby increasing pau-
perism and crime, and adding grievously to the local and
general burdens of the people:
" That, to diminish these evils, it is expedient that this
House take steps to reduce the annual expenditure, with all
practicable speed, to an amount not exceeding the sum
which, within the last fourteen years, has been proved to be
sufficient for the maintenance of the security, honour, and
dignity of the nation," instead thereof:— Question put, "That
the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Ques•
tion." The House divided:—

Mr. Martin, Q.C., Mr. Ilurafrey, Q.C., and Mr.
Willis appeared tor the plaintiff; Mr. Crowder, Q.C.,
and Mr. Lush for the. defendant Richards; Mr. Boyill
appeared for the other defendant, Mr. Shadbolt.

;The plaintiff in this case is the advertising agent
in Birchin-lane, and the action was brought to recover
the sum of 2,5001. from the defendants as
the acting directors of the Southern Counties
Railway Company for advertising that scheme
in the various morning papers from October to
December, 1845. It appeared that when it turned out
that this undertaking could not be carried out, the
plaintiff's claim amounted to upwards of 3,3511., and an
action was commenced by him against the two de-
fendants in the present action, as well as Alderman
Hughes and Dr. Allnut, to recover the amount. An
agreement was signed by these parties in order to step:.

GENERAL F °sr- orFicE.—NOTICE TO TUB PUBLIC.
—On and alter the Ist of March next the postage upon
all late letters posted at the provincial offices, as well as
the late letter fee must be paid by attaching the requi•
Site number of postage stamps. As any late letter not
bearing the requisite stamps, as determined by the office
scales, must be detained until the next dispatch, the pub-
lic are advised in every case in which such detention
would be inconvenient carefully to avoid all doubt as to
the sufficiency of the stamps. As this arrangement will
facilitate the receipt of late letters, the hours of closing
the late letter boxes have been revised throughout the
kirgdom, and they will, whenever practicable, be kept
open later than heretofore.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUiIRTER TO TEIREE.
There was a firm market firm Cotton at Liverpool yes-
terday, and prices of the midd ling qualities of American
were extreme compared with lost Friday's rates. Prices
of all other kinds are the same. The sales were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, and conslFst of about 7,000 Ame-
rican at 30. to skd., 100 .Bahia at Sid. to 51d., 400
Egyptian at bid. to eid., 500' sarat at 3id. to 31(1., and
80 Sea Island at Bd. to ls. oitn. per IL—Railway Shares
were heavy, with very little bi esinessdoing.
The imports of grain and ineal into Great Britain
during the week, to the 14th anstant, were again of
considerable extent, amounting i',43 147,241 quarters, and
there were entered for home consumption 190,414
quarters, the total duty amountina• to 9,8511.
The produce markets have a fitvourable appearance,
and holders do not appear to press sales. At the wool
sales, there has been a rise of 2d. to 3.d.. per lb., and this,
with the faVourable result of the indigo auctions,is the
best evidence that can be afforded of the improved
state
of things in the manufacturing
districts, indeedwhence
our accounts are very cheerful, ahhough they notice
rather a natural reluctance to give the aovanced prices
asked for rawataples. This is a feeling that will subside
with the growth of confidence.
An excellent site for future emigration appears to
present itself in the northern part of VanDiemen's Land,
aid from the particulars forwarded to us by the Agri-
cultural Company of that beautiful ireand we cannot
avoid the conclusion, that at no distant day a rival ca-
pital to Hubert Town will exist there. It appears that
at Circular Head, en the sea coast, almost immediately
opp site Port Phillip, there is a bluff promontory in
Bass's Straits, that is on the north. west side of he
itl,nd. Here there are twenty thousand acres of land,
with a climate much resembling that of Devonshire, free
from draught in summer or frost in winter. The soil,
though heavily timbered, is very rich, being of a deep
black vegetable mould, easily worked, and producing
luxuriant crops of potatoes, wheat, and every description
of European grain, fruits, and vegetables. The settlers
there have 2,000 acres already clearod and cultivated,
and Stanley contains all the usual comfbrts of small
towns in England, including places of worship, schools,
stores, &e. The total population on the company's
lands is 900, •according to the Government census,
and these possess cattle, &c., valued at 15,000/. There
are no convicts employed within 150 miles, nor any
aboriginal natives, ai.d roads, bridges, and granaries
hate been termed. To purchasers cat 80 acre allotments
of freehold land, a free passage is offered, and from the
,high stundint; of the merchants and capatilists connected
with the company, there can be nodoubt of any engage-
ment being entered into being strictly carried out.

mand from other quarters, are naturally bidding lower
