HALF-PAST ONE.
It was generally expected that the British Queen,
steamer would have arrived this morning, but to the present
time we have no information respecting her arrival. She
made her passage to New York in 14 days, and was to
sail for England on the let inst.
The chief feature for observation this morning is the
settling of the Foreign Account, and the heaviest one to
adjust is that of Spanish Active, the extreme of fluctuation
has been about 2} per cent. The Contango, or continua-
tion, is about 3-16. Money is in very great demand in the
foreign house, and may; be quoted, according to the de-
scription of the securities offered and the parties borrow-
ing, both in Stock and Shares, from 15 to 25 per cent.
It is a Bull account, of which the monied interest are
taking the advantage.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.--A new farce, called
A Kiss in the Dark, from the pen of Mr. Buckstone, was pro-
(diauccd at this theatre with considerable success on Satur-
stj' night. The plot is very simple. Mr. Pettibone (Buck-
} ), a good-humoured little stock-broker, is introduced to
us shortly after his marriage, an event which has rendered him
perfectly comfortable, except as regards an unfounded misgiv-
ing that he does not possess the undivided affections of his lady.
In order to put her to the test, he prevails upon his friend, Mr.
Frank Fathom (J. Webster), an old admirer of Mrs. Petti-
bone, to make love to her, and observe her behaviour.
Mrs. Pettibone accidentally overhears the plot, and in or-
der to punish her husband for his suspicions, resolves to
encourage Mr. Fathoms attentions, which she does
in a manner for which he was quite unprepared. Mr.
Pettibone, unknown to the two other parties, observes
them, and of course will not believe the assurances of his friend
that the lady repelled his advances; but he determines to have
an incontrovertibletrie

As he anticipated, no sooner has he left the room, than an un-
fortunate kiss transfers some of the black from the face of the
lady to that of Mr. Fathom, and the fact can no longer be de-
nied. Mrs. Pettibone accordingly discovers her knowledge of
the plot, and the motives for her conduct, and a reconciliation
takes place. Mrs. W. Clifford did ample justice to the part of
Mrs. Pettibone, and the other performers left nothing to be
wished.
