PRINCESS'S THEATRE.
re e Sprit of Gold is the title of a dramatic r00t,."„
ot,."„ ee produced at this theatre on Saturday night. The
that zof the author is to inculcate a moral—to show
of it; at 13 not wealth but purity of heart that is the source
th litt'au happiness. The course of action is similar to
at cif the drama of Victorine, or l'll sleep upon it, of
la ia-
rwishich The Spirit of Gold is in this respect ap. g
temperament
Albert, a young German student of an ambitious
7erament, but miserably poor, believes that the pos-
esn7„un of gold will rescue him from the privations and
reue-c7raelY which his poverty subjects him to, and has
ritn urse to alchemy to effect his purpose. While expe-
Sp•reillting he falls asleep, and dreams that the
hi/1,1-4 of Gold appears to him, and gives
tl,_ the command of unbounded wealth. By
v"atTosseasion of riches he becomes cold-hearted and
discards his affianced bride, compels his sister to
to re: samil by her lover, and marry a pretended prince;
deranZgie her wrongs he becomes a murderer, is con-
horrible horribi eat escapes, only to pass through a variety of
for e adventures, in the course of which his cravieg
is ord leads him on from crime to crime. This dream
toes course sufficient to dispel his illusions as to the vir-
itn, °, the philosopher's stone, he breaks his crucibles
the
retorts, and, as usual, a general marriage act by all
characters terminates the affair. The (piecewas
well
put
upon the stage, and was very creditably
Eayed, especially the arts which were filled by Mr.
sister (the ,Germanp student), Mrs. Stirling (the
"`er) Oxberry (an errand boy), and Miss E.
Stanley (a market girl).
