Li ON DON,

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

An accident, temporarily disabling Mr. Keeley
from performing, has occasioned the substitution of
Mr. Wigan's smart farce, A Model of a Wife, for
Mr. W. Brough's fortunate extravaganza, Apart-
ments, which was approaching its hundredth night.
The firsalnentioned piece was originally produced at
the Lyceum, during Mrs. Keeley's management, and
was one of the most successful trifles of the day. It
has been as favourably received as ever, and Mr.
Wigan's artistic extravagance and capital make -up
are duly appreciated. The fortunes of this admirably
managed theatre continue as brilliant as ever. The
attractions of the bill are so strong that nothing but
an accident induces a change of announcement. This
is a natural result of the liberal and judicious system
of management which has been adopted here. What-
ever piece thl direction has thought worthy of bringing
out at all has been brought out in first-rate style, no ra-
tional expense being spared. Accuracy and picturesque-
ness have been studied in the case of revivals and of
dramas admitting variety of costume, while a tasteful
magnificence he been bestowed upon burlesque. The
dramas have been cast with the utmost strength of
a capital working company, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Kean—unquestionably the first tragic artists upon
the English stage—have set the excellent example of
lending their names and talents to ensure the success
of any works in which they couli advantageously ap-
pear. The public is not slow to perceive when it is
fairly and liberally treated, and when managers are
not content with merely obtaining full houses, but
study to deserve them, by aiming at artistic excel-
lence. Rarely, indeed, is a nightly miss en scene so
superb as that at the Princess's Theatre, the mere il-
lustration of a performance so intrinsically worthy.
Mr. Kean and his coadjutors are doing all that a
management can do for the elevation and improve-
ment of dramatic art, and we gladly record the patro-
nage, aristocratic as well as popular, which has been
so freely and deservedly accorded to the Princess's
Theatre.

GERMANY.

Several of the German journals again state that
the Governments of the north have sent a collective
note to that of England, complaining of the facilities
afforded in that country to political refugees to form
plans of insurrection on the continent.
We find the following in the Independance of
Brussels :—" A valet of the King of HANOVER was
in the habit of performing the duty of Cabinet cou-
rier between Hanover and London, under the Munch-
hausen Ministry. A few days since this royal
messenger was arrested at Cologne. The escape
from the State prison of Hanover of M. STECIIAN,
who had been implicated in some political proceed-
ings, led to the discovery that the Cabinet courier had
been charged to carry to London, at the same time
with the correspondence of the KING and his Mi-
nisters, letters and money, which the Hanoverian
Democrats wished to send to their confederates in
London. The valet of the ICING was a radical in dis-
guise. This affair has caused much excitement in the
Hanoverian journals."
Some of the German journals state that in the
northern parts of Germany the potato disease had
made its appearance with great intensity. From
Cologne to Berlin the tubercle is represented as unfit
for food, and as sending forth a most offensive odour.
It is feared that the poorer classes will suffer severely
this year from the calamity.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CALCUTTA, AuG. 7.
Tho Oriental steamer reached Calcutta on the 29th
ult., putting us in possession of London dates to the 24th
of June. The tenor of commercial advices received on
this occasion, although showing a shad© of improve-
ment, is decidedly of an unr tvourable and discouraging
character. Trade is represented as generally dull
throughout the kingdom, and to a certain extent dis-
tress prevailed among the poorer classes, owing to the
progressive improvement in machinery, and the conse-
quent falling off in the demand for manual labour. Cot-
ton mills were coming more actively into operation, and
both goods and yarns were in improved inquiry, and
value had gone 113- d. to id. per lb, higher.
The money market was steady; first-class paper
could not he done under 3 per cent. Large supplies of
specie had been received, and Bank Stock had increased
to 13,925,8741.

The colonial produce market continued to present a
dull and discouraging aspect, although a little steadiness
had begun to chow itself. Little activity was displyyed,
and almost every single article ruled at unremunerativo
prices. The tenor of the above a•ivices is not such as to
lead us to anticipate the smallest improvement in the po-
sition of business hero, either as respects the export or
import branch. On the contrary, there is every reason
to expect a continuance of dulness and want of wawa-
don in the export, and the imvalence of unprofitable
prices in the import market. Should imports be at all
on a heavy scale daring the ensuing month, we fear the
approach of the great annual holiday will cause holders
to relax yet further in their demands, and evince in-
' creased anxiety to get out of stock before the vacation.
In our export market we have hardly any chant© to
notice; business has continued exceedingly slack, and
the indisposition to operate has been on the increaar.
Produce has been accumulating and continues generally
with a declining tendency. The general rulings, how-
ever, in the produce market are yet high, as compared
with the position of things in the home market. It is
probable that before long a masked decline will be es-
tablished in the scale of value. The heavy losses sus-
tained in shipments of produce during the past twelve
months begin now to cause a little sobriety to be shown,
and transactions bear less the stamp of a speculative cha-
racter. Indigo has been without a sale. Sugars bare

INSURRECTION.

The rebellion of the two Kwengs seems to be
spreading and asiumiog a more formidable appear-
ance than we were disposed to anticipate a short time
ago. The latest news we have is that the rebels have
captured Kvs ei-lin, the capital of Kvvang-se. They
took the Commissary- General's military chest, which
was said to contain about three-quarters of a million
taels. They also sacked all the Yamuns of the au-
thorities, but did no damage to any private buildings,
and seem to have conducted themselves with modera-
tion in respect to private property, except in the exac-
tion of a loan from the bankers and merchants of
nearly 50,000 tasls, to be repaid, we suppose, " when
the King shall enjoy his own again."
The urgency of the matter is shown by an an-
nouncement in the supplement to the Official Re-
porter of the 12th inst., that his Excellency the
Governor-General St-ii will start on the 22d, taking
with him the Adjutant-General of the Governor's
division for Kaou-chow and Leen-chow. These are
the southern departments of Kwang tung, and are
on the borders of Kwang-se and Cochin China.
St ii takes with him three thousand regular soldiers,
from which it is apparent that he goes to make head
against the rebellion in that quarter. The prime
minister, Sae-shang-ah, had been sent to Hoonan to
remain on the defensive, and prevent the spread of
the rebellion in that quarter. Since then the news of
the death of Lesing-ymn, the imperial commissioner,
has reached the Emperor, and he has ordered Sae-
shang-ah to advance into Kwang-se. Heu-tseang-
Kwang, one of the principal Canton gentry, has been
appointed his assistant, doubtless from his " barbarian
quelling" powers, as he was one of the principal op-
ponents to our admission to Canton, and for which
good and patriotic deed he received high honours.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

.Mr. Macready appeared last night in the character
of Benedick for the last time, at least so announced;
but we strongly urge upon Mr. l'.lticready that he
should repeat this, the finest piece of high comedy
we have seen for years, at least once egain.
During the many years that Mr. Macready has been
on the stage he has a►ways been regarded in the
metropolis as exclusively a tragedian, and until 1-e
eppeared in the character of Benedick Lit Drury .
lane, about eight years since, and took the town
by storm, no one gave him credit fdr being
superior in comedy, for so he undoubtedly is, to
what he even is in tragedy. This is much
to be regretted, for there is in Mr. Mac-
ready a rich vein of comic humour, which to the
metropolitan playgoer is unknown and consequently
unappreciated. We have seen him in the provinces
act several comedy characters (among them Petruchio
and Puff) in a style of excellence, and with a degree
of humour and of true comic gusto, which we may
seek for in vain in any professed commedian
at present on the stage. Could it not be arranged
that, at the conclusion of his present engagement,
Mr. Macready should appear in a range of comedy
character? At all events he ought not to retire from
the stage until at least the conclusion of the present
season ; it will be most unpatriotic in him to deprive
our stage of its best actor, just when all the world are
about to visit us. We hope that if it be only to sustain
our dramatic character among our continental neigh-
bours, Mr. Macready will delay his final retirement
from the stage until after the Great Exhibition.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

The new comedy of the 01(1 Love and the New
still continues to attract crowded houses. We ogzin
witnessed its representation last evening, and were de-
lighted by the sparkling brilliancy of its epigrammatic
dialogue, and the admirable manner in which the author
has contrived to keep the attention of the spectator
rivetted to the stage from the beginning of the play
to the end. The play acts much closer than it did on
the night of its production. Camilla Haythorn is per-
haps the most fascinating and vivacious of Mrs.Niebett's
characters ; we. prefer it to her Lady. Gay Spanker,
and consider it quite equal; if not superior, even to her
Constance. Mrs. Ternari, as the old maid, Miss
Trimmer, was excellent ; and Mr. Barratt, as old
Haythorn, is one of the most mellow and hearty old
men on the stage. The pantomime still continues to
draw.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 1151.

Nothing positive haayet been done in the way of ter-
minating the Ministerial crisis in the French Repub-
lic. Overtures, it is true, are being made with cor-
diality to various eminent individual 3 in succession—
the PRESIDENT evincing every readiness to conciliate
the belligerent politicians, without, however, in any
manner betraying a weak concesqon to their auda-
city. Little, of course, can be predicted with any
confidence as to the mode in which Louis NAPOLEON
Trill ultimately bring the crisis to a termination. So
many Prejudices have to be conquered, so many jea-
louaies have to be dissipated, so many differences of
opinion hays to be reconciled before the conflicting
ranks of the representatives can be brought to any-
thing like a state of tranquillity, that we
shrink instinctively from anything at all sa-
vouring of an explicit vaticination. Until nOW a
hollow friendship has been maintained between the
Legislative and Executive authorities. Thanks to
the ambitious arrogance Of CHANGAINIER, both par-
ties are at length placed on a true and substantial
footing of mutual comprehension. Hitherto, again,
the secret aspirants for a restoration, the traitors to
Republicaniern, the conspirators of counter-revolution,
have contrived to assume an imperturbable air of alle-
giance to democratic institutions. Thanks to the
impassioned petulance of BERRTRR, the political
masquerade has been flung aside in the heat and agi-
tation of debate. Before the opening of the recent
dinussion, moreover, the latent enemies of the
Prince-PEIBSIDhIIT, the intriguers who, while as-
suming towards him an aspect of generousand almost
enthusiastic devotion, were really plotting to bring
about at the very earliest opportunity the downfall
of the repr had
managed of the imperial dynasty,
managed to hide their sinister designs under an ap-
pearance of satisfaction. Thanks to the constitu-
tional irritability and the systematised faithlessness
of 'rinses, the animosity of this most despicable of I
all factions towards the
nephew of the EMPBROR has
been tardily, but unmistakably disclosed.
In the passion of assailing the Chief Magistrate of 1
the Republic, the historian of the Consulate openly
texed him with hypocrisy, and avowed that the occu-
pant of the Elygie was in reality (whatever his Pre-
sidential
Messages might proclaim to the contrary)
aspiring for the arrival of the day when the democracy

BELGIUM.

The King of the BELGIANS has addressed the fol,
lowing letter to M. RCGILE, Minister of the ILI

terior:—

"Brussels, 2 lst January.

"My dear Minister,—The circumstances in which we
fiod ourselves indicate only one solution of the Ministerial
difficulty, which is, that you shall charge yourself wish
the ad interim administration of the war department.
You know what is my confidence in you; I
am persuaded that the sentiment of the country. with
respect to you, is the same. Without national
security, there is no political existence; all the most
precious interests, without any exceptions, ate
connected with that security. The strongest guarantees
must then be given to the country and the army; that
we shall defend the elements of this security as our most
precious treasure. I place this deposit in your coura-
geous and devoted hands; the task, I know, is difficult,
but you will defend the most important national interest.
I have sufficient confidence in your devotedness and your
character to rely on you for the accomplisment of a
sacred duty for all of us, and I beg of you to charge
yourself with it, in assuring you of my most sincerely
affectionate sentiments.

ITALY.

The official budget of the Papal States for 1851
shows a net income of 10 millions of Roman scudi
(60 millions of francs), and an expenditure of 12 mil-
lions of scudi. This deficit of two millions is partly
owing to the impracticability of taxing professions
according to the decree lately published, which is
now abandoned. It is reported at Rome that M. D
ROTHSCHILD will in this emergency advance six mil-
lions of francs more to the Papal Government. The
remaining deficit is to be made up by coining more
copper money to the amount. of 1 100,000 scudi.

THE ATLANTIC STEAMER.
LIVERPOOL, JAN. 23, MIDNIGHT.
Intelligence ha. reaohtd Liverpool to-bight of the
return of the United States steamer Atlantic, Captain
,Vest, to Cork, in distress.
The Atlantic left Liverpool on the 28th of Decem-
ber, with the usu4l North American mails. Up to
the 6th inst. her machinery worked well, but on that
day it was found that the centre beam or shaft was
broken.

She was then in lat. 46 12, long. 41 30.
Captain West continued to proceed to the west-
ward against very heavy gales till the 11th, intend-
ing to run for Halifax, but finding it impossible to
contend against the gales, he put back, arriving at
Cork on Wednesday last, after having been 25 dais
at sea.

The screw steamer Genova has just arrived from
Gibraltar in five days and eleven h .urs.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

The new comedy of the Old Love and the New
still continues to attract crowded houses. We again
witnessed its representation last evening, and were de-
lighted by the sparkling brilliancy of its epigrammatic
dislogue, and the admirable manner in which the author
has contrived to keep the attention of the spectator
rivetted to the stage from the beginning of the play
to the end. The play acts much closer than it did on
the night of its production. Camilla Haythorn is per-
haps the most fascinating and vivacious of Nlrs.Nisbett's
characters ; we' prefer it to her Lady; Gay Spanker,
and consider it quite equal,:if not superior, even to her
Constance. Mrs. Ternan, as the old maid, Miss
Trimmer, was excellent ; and Mr. thrratt, as old
Haythorn, is one of the most mellow and hearty old
men on the stage. The pantomime still continues to
draw.

who has exclusively, and for many years, devoted his studies to
the treatment of these complaints. He may be consulted with ad-
vantage by all those whose constitutions may have become debili-

of later years, whereby the pleasures of life are marred, the objects
of marriage frustrated, and existence itself rendered a term of un-

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

Mr. Macready appeared last night in the character
of Benedick for the last time, at least so announced;
hut we strongly urge upon Mr. Xiacready that he
should repeat this, the finest piece of high comedy
we have seen for years, at least once again.
During the many years that Mr. Macready has been
on the stage he has always been regarded in the
metrepolis as exclusively a tragedian, and until he
appeared in the character of Benedick at Drury-
lane, about eight years since, and took the town
by storm, no one gave him credit for being
superior in comedy, for so he undoubtedly is, to
what he even is in tragedy. This is much
to be regretted, for there is in Mr. Mac-
ready a rich vein of comic humour, which to the
metropolitan playgoer is unknown and consequently
unappreciated. We have seen him in the provinces
act several comedy characters (among them Petruchio
and Puff) in a style of excellence, and with a degree
of humour and of true comic gusto, which we may
seek for in vain in any professed commedian
at present on the stage. Could it not be arranged
that, at the conclusion of his present engagement,
Mr. Macready should appear in a range of comedy
characters ? At all events he ought not to retire from
the stage until at least the conclusion of the present
season ; it will be most unpatriotic in him to deprive
our stage of its best actor, just when all the world are
about to visit us. We hope that if it be only to sustain
our dramatic character among our continental neigh-
bours, Mr. Macready will delay his anal retirement
from the stage until after the Great Exhibition.
