MARYLEBONE THEATRE.

Mrs. Warner is pursuing her course at this now
delightful little theatre judiciously, and, we are happy
to add, successfully. Handel was produced here last
evening in a style, and with a completeness, to which
of late, we have not been used. Mr. Graham acted
the " Prince of Denmark" with great power ; and if
he would cure himself of his Macreadyisms, he would
be an excellent actor. As it is, his elocution is any
thing but good. Mrs. Warner, as Gertrude, was
very fine. She looked " every inch a Queen ;" and
in the play scene, and the closet scene, her acting
was of the very highest order. Miss Huddart was
the Ophelia, and her rich contralto voice told with
immense effect in the beautiful snatches of ballad
with which the part is interspersed. Mr. James
Johnstone acted the part of Claudius, the King, with
great effect and judgment. He certainly made more
of the part than we have ever seen made of it. He
most judiciously restored the celebrated soliloquy,
"Oh ! my offence is rank !" which he declaimed
beautifully. Mr. H. Webb, as the grave-digger, was
quaint and full of true Shaksperian humour. The
tragedy was admirably put upon the stage, and the
scenery was beautiful. The platform scene, particu-
larly, was a perfect diorama. The disappearance of
the ghost was admirably managed, and a change was
made in the management of the funeral procession of
Ophelia which we hope to see adopted at all the
theatres for the future. Instead of the black pall
(the introduction of which in the days of Hamlet is
an absurd anachronism, the body of Ophelia is borne
in by maidens. The effect is beautiful exceedingly,
and the whole is certainly more in accordance with
the manners of the age in which Hamlet is :supposed
to have flourished. The house was crowded, and
nothing could exceed the attention with which the
play was listened to. Even the "gods" were charmed
into silence.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

CITY, MONDAY EVENING.
Arrivals of gold took place to-day from Paris and
llamburgh, to the extent of 150,0001. A further
arrival is expected to-morrow, of about 200,0001.,
from St. Petersburgh.
The letters from the country this morning are free
from tidings of disaster. At Liverpool, Saturday
next is the period looked forward to with most
anxiety, as on that day the draughts will be mature
which were remitted from New York by the steamer
of the Ist of August.
The failure of James and William Morley, Man-
chester warehousemen, was announced this morning.
The house was of about forty years' standing, and
the liabilities, it is supposed, may amount to about
60,000/. or 80,000/. The immediate cause of the
suspension was the circumstance of their holding
acceptances of Rickards, Little, and Co.
The private letters by the Washington contain no
facts of any importance in addition to those which
have been published. Five failures are mentioned as
having taken place in New York, but they are none
of them to any large amount. Amongst the number
are Muir, Taylor, and Co., who have also a house at
h
Montreal. The suspension in this and in one of the
other cases was caused by returned bills from Eng-
land. In the three remaining instances —one of
which was for about 30,000/.—the event was the
consequence of speculations in railway shares induced
