SADLER'S WELLS.

Shakspere's delightful comedy of Much Ado about
Nothing was revived here last night for the first time
under Mr. Phelps's management, and was produced with
all that strict attention to accuracy, and that fixed de-
termination to do justice to the productions of our
immortal &bard that has always distinguished Mr.
Phelps's Shaksperian revivals. Mr. Henry Marston was
the Benedick. It was in this character that he first won
the favour ;of a London audience when ho made his
debut at Drury-lane ander the management of poor
Hammond. Were it not for his unfortunate voice,
Mr. Marston's Benedick would be the best since Charles
Kemble. It is evident that Mr. Marston not only loves
but understands Shakespere. Miss Cooper made a lively
and sarcastic Beatrice ; and Mr. Younge and Mr.
Scharf were admirable as Dogberry and Verges. Mr.
Scharf is a true Shaksperian low-comedy actor. The
play went off admirably. The house was well attended ,

Tho Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was firm.
Sales 4,000 to 5,000 bales. Railway Shares were b teavy.
It was remarked last week under this head the t the
turning point in the public deposits had aot, up t. a that
Period arrived, and it is gratifying to find an e special
alteration in this item of the Bank return, made up to
the 11th instant. The Government, judging by the in-
crease of the securities, may have obtained ado 'anew
upon stock or bills. The Bank circulation has mat srially
fallen off, but when the deposits increase this f *mum
may be observable without any decline in the discount
business. A comparison with the previous week ' gives
