THE SUN,

MONEY and COMMERCIAL N
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The ssles of Cot•on at Liverpool on Saturday were
estimated-at 4.000 hates; 509 American were for export;
300 Surat realised 24d. to 2id , and 100 remain !. to
41 The market was fit-tn.—Toe Share `Market was
better,and prices seem to have an upward tendency.
The Continental letters are not very interesting upon
commercial matters, and in the north of Europe espe-
ciaDy- the progresi of the season was occasioning the
usual contraction of business operations. The state of
the money markets of Hsmburgh and Frankfort con-
tinued the same, but ut Berlin there was less confidence.
Ira the accounts from America, received by the
steamer, we are sorry to notice many complaints of the
dulness of trade, and the unremunerating prices for
goods. The exportation to Europe of such a large
amount of specie, estimated this year at 10,000,000
dollars, has not suffice.l to meet the indebtedness of the
United States to its European creditors; but if corn
shipments are pushed forward the exchange may go
lower, and at least prevent specie being forwarded either
way, unless under special arrangements.
In reference to the stock and share market a New
York journalist remaks that—
" There has been no change of consequence in prices
either way. Some securities have slightly advanced, and
some have slightly declined. The interest is accumulat-
ing on most of these stocks; but that appears to make
very little difference in the market value. The effect of
the tightness in the money market is not seen so much
in the securities quoted above, as in those of a more
fancy character. During the present pressure upon the
market Government and State stocks have not varied
oae per cent.; while some of the fancy railroad securi
ties—which are, in fact, safer and better investments—
have depreciated ten, fifteen, and twenty per cent.
" No one can for a moment doubt the ultimate pro•
ductiveness of even the most depreciated railroad pro-
perty in this country, or the safety, as permanent in-
vestments, of those now paying good dividends. Rail-
roads are much more profitable investments in the
United States than in Great Britain or any part of
Europe ; and those which pay dividends, even
in the present state of population, must, long
before the country becomes as thickly peopled
as most of Europe, be immensely productive.
Their business is almost unlimited ; and as most of
them have been constructed at small cost, their divi-
dends almost annually increase. Government and
State Securities, on the other hand, are limited in
thiiir dividends, and their value as investments is as
great one time as another. It is true, they do not fluc-
tuate in value so much as railroad shares; but there is
no sounder basis for the security of State Stocks than
that of railroad shares. In our opinion, private credit
and responsibility are at all times more desirable than
public faith. We have had the value of such practically
illustrated in this country, and, in fact, in all parts of the
world, and at all times, and under all circumstances, in-
dividual liability and private credit have proved vastly
superior to that of Government."
The Corn Market has been flat to-day.
The following particulars from Aris' Birmingham
Gazette, informs us of the state of the iron trade :
" The increasing inclination to do business at lower
rates, which prevailed after the late quarterly meeting,
has been temporarily checked by the more promising
incidents of the last few days. The revival of our South
American connexions, the reduction of Bank discounts,
the favourable news from the continent, and, above all, the
dissipation of much of that apprehension which had
overwhelmed the affairs of our great railway companies
in causeless panic, all operrite beneficially upon the feel-
ing of the trade, and assist in re-establishing a tone of
confidence in every day transactions. But the most
material drawback, so far as Staffordshire is affected,
appears to be the formidable rivalry of the Welsh and
Scotch markets. The low wages of their workmen, and
the almost nominal royalty paid in many cases for the
minerals, combined with the lighter expense of obtaining
them, enable the Welsh or Scotch maker to realise a
profit upon his iron at prices which would insure a
speedy ruin in Staffordshire. And although the article
produced must be acknowledged to be interior in qua-
lity, yet-it is now so much improved that it can be substi•
tuted in a considerable proportion of those uses where
• Staffordshire was formerly the only material
consumed. Hence the demand for the latter
, ha's become more limited, and confined to
better purposes ; consequently, the market is
. more easily glutted, and the rates obtainable must, in a
great measure, be dependent upon the prices at which
Welsh and Scotch can be brought into the same lo-
cality. These at the present moment are excessively
low, and as yet without airy tendency to improve-
ment. The immediate home market of this district
has, however, experienced a slight impulse during the past
week, consequent upon the renewed activity of the mer-
chants and manufacturers of hardware; and although
this is insuffieient to disperse the gloom through which
the prospects of the winter trade have hitherto been
viewed, even in our own neighbourhood, yet, in addition
to the considerations before mentioned, and with a

prospect of a better export trade early in the spring,
more firmness may be expected in maintaining present
rates, and a fair employment will be provided for the
works: en."

The English Stock Market is very quiet today, but
the quotations have been firm. Consols have been 861
to 4, tor the present Account, and are nearly the same
kr the December Account. The Continental news has
not any immediate or present influence, but the state of
affairs at Ber;in, and the uncertainty as to events in
France, serve to check a material rally. The " Account"
will be 'arranged to-morrow, and it is still said the
" Bears " are the losing party; but many of
them have already made their arrangements to
" carry over," and it is not therefore expected
that there will be so much to settle as, under other
circumstances, it would have befit natural to expect.
The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been
851 to 858, and the Three per Cents. 85 to 851 Ex-
chequer-bills have been 40s. to 435. premium, and
375. to 40s. for those dated March and June respec-
tively. East India Bonds have beeri 375. to 38s. prem.
The For,ign Securities have been very dull. Spani3b
Five per Cents. fur Account, 1 le; Portuguese Four per
Coats. about 231 to 241; Brazilian 72 to 74; Mexican
214 to 2lf ; Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. 45 to 46;
Grenada about 121 to 13. Most of these prices are
merely nominal.
The market for Railway Shares is rather inactive to-
day, and the higher rates of Saturday are not in all
cases maintained. Great Western and South-Western
have recede. 4. The York lines are better. South-
Eastern steady, and also Eastern Counties. North-

" Lloyd's Agency Office, Mslaga,Oct. 31,
.1848.

•
" Sir,—l beg to apprise you, for the infirination and
guidance of the important shipping interests of your
committee, that the Board of Health of this city has
recently passed a resolution imposing a quarantine of
fifteen days' observation on vessels arriving here from
any port of the United Kingdom, with the proviso that
should the port of departure be infected, or reported to
be infected, with cholera morbus, in such cases the v,s-
sels are to be refused pratique, and ordered off to Port
Mahon to perform a rigorous quarantine.
Under these circumstances I would venture to suggest
that ships bound from England to this part of the Spanish
Peninsula might touch at Vigo, and there comply with
the quarantine regulation, by which course I have been
assured by these authorities a considerable saving of
time and expense would be attained.

748 ditto of Beans, 10,863 ditto of Peas, 4,128 ditto of
Tares, 3,217 ditto of Linseed, 37 ditto of Mustard-weed,
318 ditto of sundry other seeds, 7,320 barrels and 4,283
sacks of flour. The supply of Wheat received fresh up
to our market this morning, coastwise as well as
by land carriage and sample, was very limited,
and of middling quality. Notwithstanding the
small show of English Wheat, and the full
average number of both town and country buyers in at-
tendance, the demand for all descriptions, arising from
the heaby imports of Foreign Wheat and Flour, was in
a very sluggish state, at, in most instances, a decline in
the prices paid on Monday last of fully Is. per quarter,
at which the market closed heavily. As might be ex-
pected, the show of Foreign Wheat samples was large.
All hit:ds were purchased by the millers with extreme
caution. Selected parcels moved off heavily, at a all
in value of quite Is. per quarter ; while the prices of
the middling and interior kinds must be considered
from Is. to 2s. per quarter lower than last week. On
ss eculation no transactions worthy of notice took
place ; and we had scarcely any inquiry for
inland consumption. Bonded Corn was nominal.
For all kinds of Barley, the supply of which which was
large, we had a very dull inquiry. Malting parcels
were 2s, and grinding and distilling sorts is per quarter
lower than on this day se'nnight. The foreign supplies
are still coming to hand in excellent condition. A. 1-
though the supply of Malt was not to say large, the in
quiry for that article was heavy. In some instances
last week's figures were paid for finequaliries of new,
but old parcels and the secondary kinds of new were
quite is per quarter lower than last advised. The
bulk of the new Malt was extremely fine. The exten-
sive arrivals from abroad produced considerable heaviness
in the inquiry for all kinds of Oats. The best parcels
were 6d; other kinds is per quarter lower; and a large
quantity remained unsoled. We were fairly supplied
with Beans, the sale for which was heavy, at barely
stationary prices. Having an unusually large quantity
of Peas on show, that article was very dull, and is to
quite
neglected; per quarter lower. Indian Corn and Meal were
neglected; yet we cannot call them cheaper. The Flour
trade was in a sluggish state, at last week's prices. The
nominal top figure for town made was 48s per 2801bs.

and country buyers, was tolerably steady. In some few
transactions, a trifle more money NV= obtained for the
best Scots. Herefords, runts, and Irish Beasts were
in some instances rather easier to purchase. From Lin
colnAire, Liecestershire, Northamptonshire, &c., we re-
ceived about 1,200 short-horns; from the eastern, wes-
tern, and midland districts, 1,300 Herefords, runts,
Devons, Irish beasts, and short horns, with a few Scots;
from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds,
the remainder of the supply being derived from abroad
and the neighbourhood of the metropolis. The supply
( f Sheep was somewhat on the decrease, yet it was quite
equal to the wants of the buyers. The few prime old
Downs in the market sold at fully last week's rates, viz,
from 4s 10(1 to 5s per 8lbs; otherwise the Mutton trade
was in a sluggish state, at about stationary flgur, s.
We were but moderately supplied with Calves, prime
small quantities moved off steadily; at fully last week's
improvement in value. In the secondary and interim
Calves, exceedingly little business was doing, at late
rates. Thr re was a better inquiry for the best dairy-fed
at extreme currencies. Large Pork was very
in sale. About 100 were on offer from Ireland. Prior
to the close of business, a fair clearance of the general
supply was effected.

The low prices obtained for the foreign stock in Smith-
field and elsewhere have,unquestionably, operated against
importations, or we should, doubtless, have had to re-
pot t a considerably increased, and not a decreased foreign
supply. Although the imports of foreign stack for our
market since this day se'nnight have exhibited a consi-
derable falling-off, compared with those at the corres-
ponding period in 1847, as is shown above, the supply
here to-day—a large portion being the refuse of Fri-
day's trade—was seasonably gocd. The beasts gene-
rally were in very middling condition; but we noticed
a decided improvement in the weight and quality of the
Dutch Sheep. There was a slight improvement in the
demand for the fresh importations, at prices fully equal
to those paid last week, and at which a fair clearance
was effected. There was a slight decline in the number
of home-fed beasts on offer this morning, but their
quality was somewhat improved. Notwithstanding the
dead markets were rather heavily supplied, the Beef

pointed actually to the office of constable. In this ca.,.4e
he was informed that Booth was not put in the list b -
cause he was disliked. Now, he submitted that the name
of a substitute must appear in tho list. The 13th and
16Lh sections of the Act spoke of " properly qualith d
substitutes." If the system were pursued the inhabitants
of towns would be deprived of a valuable right which
they undoubtedly possessed at common law.
Lord DENMAN was of opinion that the case was clear
from all doubts. It was but reasonable that persons ap-
pointed substitutes should receive a fair reward for the
burden which they had taken from the shoulders of the
principal. If there was a corrupt consideration given
for the appointment to the office that appointment would
be invalid, but that was not imputed. It seemed to him
that the Act had been fully complied with. It was not
incumbent that the name of the substitute should be on
the list.
The other Learned Judges concurred in this opinion.
The rule was, therefore, discharged with cost.

MR. COBBETT'S CASE,
Mrs. Cobbett applied for a special writ of habeas
corpus to bring up her husband, in order that he might
be discharged.
The COURT said they would give their decision on
Thursday.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
THE QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF JAMES FLOYD v.
JOSEPH FERNYHOUGH, THOMAS LEESE, AND SARAH
BERESFORD.

Mr. HUDDLESTONE applied to the Court for a rule
nisi, calling upon the magistrates of Staffordshire to
show cause why the prisoners in this case should not be
admitted to bail. The prisoners, who were respectable
tradespeople, residing at Stoke-upon-Trent, had been
committed to the Staffordshire gaol on a charge of steal-
ing some earthenware, the whole value of which was
under 30s. The evidence against the prisoners esta-
blished a case rather of receiving than of stealing, and
the chief evidence against them was the circumstance of
some of the stolen earthenware having been found up..n
their premises. It was proved, however, at the hearing
before the magistrates, that the posecu‘or allowed some
of his men to sell the description of earthenware in
question, which was of an inferior quality, but the police
had prejudiced the minds of the magistrates against the
prisoners, and al:hough good bail was offered, it was
peremptorily refused. The two male prisoners had
lived upwards of thirty years in Stoke-upon-Trent, where
they carried on the business of brewers and corn dealers,
and as all that the magistrates could have been anxious
to provide for was the due appearance of the prisoners
at the ensuing quarter-sessions,, it was quite clear that
an act of injustice had been committed towards them by
the magistrates refusing to hold them to bail.
Mr. Justice PATTESON doubted whether the Criminal
Appeal Act, of last session, did not place the power of
holding to bail entirely at the discretion of the magistrate.
Mr. HUDDLESTONE apprehended that it did not. The
Act only extended the power of magistrates to hold pri-
soners to bail in cases of felony, but in no way affected
the jurisdiction of the Court of Queen's Bench in such
matters.

Mr. Justice PATTESON, after looking at the Act,
seemed to agree with the construction the learned Coun-
sel put upon it, and said he would grant a rule to show
cause why a writ of habeas corpus should not issue.
Mr. HUDDLESTONE said the usual course was to grant
a rule nisi to show cause why the prisoners should not
be admitted to bail, and a certiorari issued to bring up
the depositions.

Mr. Justice PITTESON said the learned Counsel migh
take a rule in that form.

MELANCHOLY SUICIDE.-NOTTINGHAM, SUNDAY
MORNING.—During the last two days much and very
painful excitement has been occasioned in this neigh-
bourhood by the suicide of the Rev. William Browne, of
St. John's, Oxford, and curate'of St. Stephen's, Snen-
ton. He was observed on Friday last, at his lodgings,
to be in a state of the utmost excitement, after receiving
a letter, which letter, it subsequently appeared, was from
the father of a young lady to which he was deeply at-
tached, but who, as well as her father, declined encou-
raging his advances. He rushed from his lodging in a
violent passion, proceeded soon after to a gunsmith's and
purchased a pistol, powder, &c., and in a few hours after
was found a lifeless corpse among the ruins of the old
castle. He had fired the pistol into the centre of his
forehead; but it amply appeared from the evidence of
the several witnesses, that the unfortunate deceased was
at the time labouring under insanity, and that his dis-
position was such as was calculated to bring about such
a state under great disappointment. Verdict--" Tempo-
rary insanity.'

JOHN WILSON UPON THE ATLANTIC.—Letters
have been received from the Scottish Minstrel, dated the
17th ult., " within a few hours :sail of Halifax," where
they expected to find the Cambria on the following day,
and it was expected the Niagara would be at New York
by the 20th, after a very boisterous passage, made under
a fortnight. Mr. Wilson says—" In crossing the Gulf
of St. Lawrence we had an awful tossing, and I had
great difficulty in getting from the cabin to the saloon
to answer a summons from the ladies, who had sent me
a petition to sing them a few songs, which, of course, I
did ; but it was by no means an easy matter to hold on
to a song and the table at the same time. Divine ser-
vice was performed on Sunday by two clergymen (pas-
sengers), and I had the honour of conducting the
psalmody. I can assure you that the Old Hundredth
Psalm and the Portuguese Hymn were sung beautifully
by all present, and the whole service had a mist impres-
sive effect. Despite the tempestuous weathf r the noble
Niagara stemmed the waves most gallantly."—Livercoel
Paper.

13XCOMMUNICATION.—The Rev. Mr. Darcy, P. P.
(4 Mungret, Ireland, has denounced from the alter the
murderers of Richard Donohoe, !JAW to George Gough,
E,q. The murderers are thus cut off from the commu-
nion of the Roman Catholic Church, and from all inter-
course with the members of the same creed.
SEVERN NAVIGATION.—The inhabitants of Tewkes-
bury are as determined as ever to oppose any further
meddling with the Severn, in the guise of improvement,
as proposed by the commissioners. A meeting con-
vened by the Mayor of the borough, in compliance with
a requisition signed by upwards of 100 persons, will be
held at Tewkesbury, on Monday next, to " take into
consideration the proposed measures of the Severn Navi-
gation Commission for erecting weirs on the River
Severn, andJevying further tolls on the traffic, which
the requsitionists consider will materially affect the trade
of the town. The notice of the intention of the com-
missioners to apply to Parliament for further powers will
be found in another column.—Gloucester JournaL
ACCOUNT Or TRADE AND NAVIGATION. The
public accounts of trade and navigation, for the month
ending the 10th of October, 1841, have just been pub-
lished. These returns exhibit a very considerable im-
provement in comparison with the declared monthly
value of our exports for the last six or eight months.
The aggregate amount of our exports for the month
ending October 10, 1847, was 4,665,000L,—f0r the same
month this year, 4,6o2,oool—showing a deficiency of
63,0001. only, whilst the deficit on the previous month,
as compared with the same period last year, was no less
than 539,000/. These returns also show, on a compari
son of the nine months' declared value of our exports,
ending October 10, 1847, with the same period of the
present year, a decrease of 5,350,000/.
The account of the affair between the Earl of
Cardigan and Captain Noel which has reached us differs
most materially from those which have hitherto ap-
peared; but as we understand the gallant officers are
now reconciled, and the difference has been arranged
to the satisfaction of the Horse Guards, we should not
think ourselves justified in-- entering into details.—

We have reason to believe that a Companionship of

acknowledgment of his voluntary but must arduous

On Saturday morning a fire broke out between six
and seven o'clock, in Mark's Auction Mart, 123, Ox-

property of the value of 2,0001. Some of the adjoining
houses have also been slightly injured. Mr. Marks and
the others are insured. Nothing is known as to the
origin of the fire.

MOW AND VALUABLE.—Catch a rat in a wire trap,
keep him until night, then procure a preparation of
phosplu rous in oil, apply it all' over the rat, except his
head, and turn him loose into his hole. Such scamper-
ing and getting out of the house as occurs as his phores-
cent majesty pursues his alarmed friends, whom he is
anxious to overtake, afford a security against the return
of the depredators for a long season. Try it, ye who
doubt.—Somerset County Gazette.
AN ARTFUL DODGE.—As a farmer of Caterham
was making a bargain for some sheep in Croydon fair
last week, with a farmer whom he did not know, there
was some dispute about the price, and he left the pens.
One of the " swell mob" having overheard the conversa-
tion, followed Mr. Clark, and said he did not like to lose
the bidding, and would take his money for the sheep
(naming the price). They went to an inn, where the
money was paid, the purchaser saying he would send for
the sheep shortly. On going, however, to the owner,
the latter disclaimed all knowledge of the man to whom
the money, which was about 501., was paid.
It is stated that in the dispute which has arisen
between the Committee of Council on Education and the
National Society, the Archbishop of Canterbury has
given his decision in favour of the former. This, pro-
bably, will decide the question.
GREAT CATCH or HERRINGS.—Larger quantities
of herrings have been ,taken this week off Brighton and
other places along the Sussex coast than have been
known for many years. Yesterday, as many as nine or
ten last (from 80,000 to 90,000) were brought to our
beach, which was covered with mountains of fish. They
wore sold at 2s. per 100. At Hastings and the North
Foreland the catch has been as great. Vast numbers of
sprats have also boen taken, 100 bushels were brought in
here and sold at 2s. per bushel. Our fishermen attri-
bute this early appearance of the sprat to the setting in
of cold weather. To the poorer classes it is a great
boon, as the herring can be eaten without butter, and is,
therefore, the cheapest of fish. They have been sold in
the streets for 30 per ls. Trawl fish is more abundant
than is usual at this season of the year. Good soles have
sold at 4d. per lb. Codfish are also plentiful and cheap
—a good fish, weighing 151 b. or 161 b., for Is. 6d. or 2s.

THE WORKS OF THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIA-
MENT.—In reply to several inquirers wo are obliged to
say, it is too true that a large number of men have been
discharged from these works. Where there were about
1,000 employed, there will now be not more than 500,
and after Christmas a further reduction is threatened.
Wh it makes this shortsighted policy worse is, that
many of those who have been discharged are picked men,
rained to the sort of work in hand, and not easily to be
eplaced hereafter,—Budder.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.
Shakspere's comedy of Twelfth Night, the most
delightful comedy that perhaps even Shakspere ever
wrote, was revived here on Saturday evening in a
manner worthy of Shakspere. Mrs. Charles Kean
was of course the Viola. She is by far the best Viola
on the stage, and Viola is her greatest comedy cha-
racter. From the day that she first appeared in this
character she made it her own; never, before or
since, have we seen this beautiful conception of Shak-
spere so perfectly, so admirably embodied. To de-
lineate the Viola of Shakspere requires an aggregation
of qualities such as seldom are to be found united in
one person. Your Viola must be pretty, your Viola
must be arch, your Viola must be pathetic, above all your
Viola must be lady- like. She must also be a perfectly
accomplished artiste, capable not only of perceiving,
bnt embodying, so as to make them perceptible to
others the various delicate nuances of feeling of which
this delightful character is composed. In no lady on
the stage do all these requisites so completely meet
as in Mrs. Charles Kean, and, accordingly, on Satur-
day night, she gave us one of the most perfect and
delightful representations of Viola that ever was wit-
nessed. Heretofore she had been accustomed to dress
Viola in the usual page's dress, but on Saturday sf e
appeared in the costume of a Greek boy—a costume
not only more picturesque, but more appropriate,
seeing that the scene of the comedy is laid
in Illyria. Her delivery of the celebrated line
"she never told her love" was exquisitely beautiful,
and it was evident, throughout the play, that Mrs.
Charles Kean kept this description in view, and made
it the key-note as it were of the character. Her
acting throughout was the embodiment of untold
love. The scenes with Olivia were delightfully ren
dered, and the celebrated " I am the man !" was given
with such a keen relish of the ludicrous which the
situation suggests, that it drew down repeated rounds
of applause. The comedy was very strongly cast;
Webster was the Malvolio, and admirably he acted
the part—he threw into it a deegree of burlesque
gravity that was quite Listonian. The letter-reading
scene was superb, and the cross gartering and the
lecturing Sir Toby and the condescension to Olivia
were all rich—rich exceedingly. Since the days
of Liston we have had no such Malvolio.
Sir Toby Belch found an admirable representative in
Tilbury. Keeley, as the Sir Andrew Aguecheek,
was perfection. His Sir Andrew is superior even to
his Verges, and that is saying everything. Wigan as
the Clown gave a perfectly new reading of the part,
and a reading which is, in our opinion, the co-rect
one. He makes the Clown a Figaro, a. fellow of in-
finite wit, who perfectly understands what he is
about, enjoys in every sense of the word his pri
vileges, and who himself keenly relishes the fun
and mischief of which he is the author. The Olivia
of Miss Reynolds was exceedingly tasteful. This
young lady is fit for better things than burlesques;
she can act high comedy, which is more than can
be said of many artistes who hold a nominally higher
professional rank than Miss Reynolds. After the
comedy we had the beautiful drama of the Ransom
in which Mrs. Charles Kean resumed her old cha.

racter of Pauline, which she rendered with all the
heartrending pathos which she knows so well how to
infuse into her representation of the woes of domestic
.._

life, and which never fail to win her a plentiful tri-
bute of tears and of applause from her audience. She
was called for at the conclusion of each of the pieces.
The theatre was well and most faihionably attended.

(From tho Times.)

Some years ago Miss Ellen Tree, after a long absence
in America, re-appeared at the Haymarket, as Viola,
in Shakspere's Twelfth Night, and as Pauline in the do-
mestic drama of The Ransom. Among the theatrical
habitués, to whom Milts, farewells, and appearances form
the important incidents of a year, the reminiscence of
that evening was awakened on Saturday by the pub-
lication of a similar programme. The same lady, now
Mrs. Charles Kean, was again on the same stage, as
the same Viola and Pauline, and a genial tone of
recognition was diffused over the audience. In the
past week she acted two of her favourite parts, but
some how or other this performance of Saturday
seemed to be the veritable re-appearance. Let us not
omit the important circumstances, that the house was
decidedly the best of the season—a really good house.
In costume the character of Viola has greatly changed
since Mrs. Charles Kean performed it at the Haymarket.
Then there was the pa,re's dress, with blue and silver
tunic, white tights, and hat and feather, voted the repre-
sentatives of pages in general, without reference to
epoch or country. Now, thanks to a reformation by
Madame Vestris (during the Covent-garden manage-
ment, when Miss E. Tree also played the character),
Viola appears in the costume of a Greek, which is re-
markably picturesque, and indicates the nominal scene
of the play. But though the dress is changed, the Viola
is the same Viola that charmed her audience in former

times. With the exception of the one speech, " She
never told her love," and the practical drollery of the
duel, Viola is not a character that affords salient op-
portunities to everybody. An indifferent actress might
easily let all the peculiarities of the part slip through her
fingers. Its beauties lie beyond the reach of convention,
and are too subtle for cold precept to point out. The
love which fed on the " damask cheek" of Viola was

" never told," and can only be understood and interpreted
by an actress who has a profound sympathy with this
most delicate creation of the great poet. This untold
love is exhibited by Mrs. Charles Kean with tho most
exquisite truthfulness. Having no words by which
she may even hint her passion to the object of her
adoration, there is an eloquence in her pensive eyes, a
deep devotion in her looks, which completely supply the
place of language. The few lines about "patience on
a monument" are always effective, however uttered, en
account of their recognized beatify, and applause at these
indicates nothing; but it was worth while to observe
the fine distinction which Mrs. Kean gave to the
lines immediately sncceeding, and beginning " We men
may say more," and to note how the gentle grief of the
narrator was modified into the tenderest reproachfulness
at the concluding sentiment. The interviews with Olivia
were marked by a graceful courteousness, which rose
into a fine enthusiasm as the disguised maiden pleaded
the cause of her lover. The favourite exclamation, " I
am the man !" was uttered with that burst of comic tri
umph with which Mrs. Kean has always distinguished it,
and drew its accustomed round of applause. The play
altogether Ras remarkably well acted; some of the cha-
racters could not have been played better. We would
especially mention (after Mrs. Kean) the Sir Andrew of
Mr. Keeley, whose representation of a melancholy con-
dition arising from the joint effects of imbecility and
drunkenness, was as perfect as it was originsl. Nothing
could be more comical than the thick crust of dismal-
ness through which the scintillations of joviality burst
forth. Mr. Webster's Malvolio was a creditable per-
formance after the known fashion. The Clown of Mr.
Wigan, on the other hand, was so completely a depar-
ture from the received manner, that it will doubtless
expose him to some animadversion. This singular
character is usually acted with a hard quaint-
ness, the " pleasant fooling" being uttered in a
sort of mock oracular tone, with Lttlo or no sense
of mirth; Mr. Wigan, who always thinks for himself,
infuses a spirit of hilarity into Lis words and gestures
as if the clown were rejoicing in his own pleasan-
tries, and thus the character gains a buoyancy and
activity heretofore unknown. To those who would say
that the interpretation, though amusing, is false, we
would simply remark that the clown seems to us an
open character, in which great license of filling up is
allowed to the actor. If Mr. IVigan has made a mistake
it is the mistake of a clever and thinking man, and does
him more credit than mere traditional correctness. Mr.
Tilbury, as Sir Toby, played with nit unction and a
hearty bluffness which shows an immense advance from
the useful " old man" of two or three years ago. Pro-
, bahly there is no one on the stage who could have done
it better. The Olivia of Miss Reynolds puts this young
actress in a new position. The great spirit with which
she has acted in the holiday burlesques of this house
might lead to an impression that she would be less
in her element in the more poetic drama, bat her Olivia
was a very well-considered and ladylike performance.
Mrs. flumby's Maria was one of those little " bits" of
point in which she has no equal. The Ransom, which
followed Twefth Night, is well known from the intense
feeling with which Mrs. Kean perform a character of
domestic life placed in the most harrowing situations.
Her acting is admirable, but the drama is of kind some-
what passé, and is too much lengthened out. However,
it is a great treat for an audience to see in one evening
so accomplished an actress in two characters so widely
different from each other, and to observe how equally
she is at home in the most poetic melancholy and the
most prosaic distress. The call for her at the conclusion
of both pieces was most enthusiastic, and as for Twelth
Night, it went off with a heartiness as if all the jokes
were new, and written expressly for the present day.

THE ENGLISH DRIIIA : TWHLITH NIGHT.
This theatre, so admirably adapted to all the just
exigencies of the highest class of drama, is making un-
remitting efforts, by appealing not merely to the tastes
of the pleasure-seekers, but to those who, endued with
reflective powers, unite with a true love:and relish for the
poetical drama, a patriotic predilection for the sterling
products of true English growth. At one moment we
see Mr. Webster striving to evoke from their lethargy
the slumbering powers of modern dramatic compositions
—at others we behold' revivals, like that of Saturday
night, of some neglected work of our unrivalled poets.
Such efforts make a demand on our better and higher
feelings, which may only be repudiated with shame, and
which involve very serious considerations.
In a perfect comedy, as in a perfect picture, there
must be a central predominating figure, and accordingly
in Twelfth A iyht the various characters are skilfully
grouped around Viola. The difficulty and desideratum
in our time was to find a fitting representative for the,
embodiment of this the most fascinating of Shakspere s
female portraitures, and in Mrs. Charles Kean the diffi-
culty was vanquished and the desideratum accomplished.
Tbere is not one single element, however delicate or
semi-concealed, no one phase of gentle mirth or pas-
sionate emotion, with which the character of Viola is
instinct, bat is poetically and truthfully rendered by
Mrs. Charles Kean. The entire conception and develop-
ment are " beautiful exceedingly." The recital of the
verse is full of deep melody, and gushes forth—
" So great, so small, yet in so sweet a note,
It seem'd the music melted in the throat."

It is throughout the happiestShaksperian exposition we
have ever witnessed. The tenderness permeates
through the entire character—the true womanhood, the
gentleness, the arch spirit, and the perfect faith that the
sudden love will be finally returned, because pure and
holy, is made evident throughout, and forms the very
nucleus of the conception. Mentally and physically the
