PliIN CESS'S THEATRE.

The management f this theatre still maintains the laud-
able custom introduced by Mews. Kean and Keeley of
giving a Skakspere night on an average at least once a week.
Last night the Merchant of Venice was performed, with Mr.
Charles Kean as Shylock, and Mrs. Charles Ktan as Portia.
Shylock is one of Mr. Charles Keau's best Shaksperian
characters, and he last night acted it with an energy and
a power which' left nothing to be desired ; his
reading of the character is admirable, and the terrific
flashes of intensely impassioned feeling, which ever and anon
hur:t forth, brought down rounds of applause. The Portia
of Mr. Charles Kean is the very perfection of polished and
artistica' acting. The mercy speech was declaimed exqui-
sitely. The play was we I cast, and well put on the stage;
and the principal artistes were called on at the conclusion.
Apartments, &c., followed; and the Alhambra concluded the
evening's amusements. The house was crowded.

Mr. Wright, wbo fur some time part has been incapaci-
tated from performing by severe indispositiun, re-appeared
last night as Ajax, in the popular drama of Belphegor, and
was warmly greeted.

LOWESTOFT.—The herring fishery from this port
has been much more prosperous this spring than last. The
prospects of the mackerel fishery are also very encouraging.
It is generally allowed that there are more fish upon the
grounds than have been known for years in the month of
:11ay. Prices, however, are lower than was anticipated by
those who naturally expected that the World's Fair would
create a heavy demand at good prices. The nucleus of a
trawling fleet has just been established here, through the
exertions of Mr. Peto,
