MISS MARdHALL.

On Monday evening Miss Polly Marshall, just arrived
from England, and a London actress of standing and
reputation, made her debut as Catherine Kloper, in the
little comedy of "Wanted a Governor, or a Countess
for an Hour." This piece is founded on a supposed
episode in the Bavarian career of Lola Mentes, and is e
mere vehicle for the comic displays of an enterprising
clear-starcher and her lover, a court barber. We remem-
ber to have seen Miss Marshall in London in 1851, and
her great prototype, Mrs. Keeley, on whom she has
founded her style of acting, and of whom she gives en
exceedingly perfect imitation. Those who have never
seen Mrs. Keeley will admire the fair Polly's originality;
those who have will recognise an old friend, and say,
with truth, that no better model could have been
selected.
Miss Marshall is a smart, intelligent, and lively ac-
tress, thoroughly acquainted with her profession, and
completely at home on the stage, whilst she has the tact
to make herself completely so immediately with the
audience. Her reception by a crowded house was most
cheering. She elicited great applause, and was urani-
mously recalled on the fall of the curtain, as was Mr.
Burton, who was inimitably funny as the Court Barber.
Miss Marshall afterwards appeared as "The Object of

Interest "—a cockney servant girl, who is dying to be-

even to her intonation ; and in
so-
ir:oonultiberoeefrtteepsorot; this description she will prove an imnaer.ss
acqui,ition to manager Burton, who will find her a
capital exponent of the female character in those Lon-
don farces n which be delights. She dances well,
which is not surprising, as she was a danseuse long be-
fore she became an actress.—Porter' 3 New York Spirit, of
the Times.

OBTAINING A SITUATION WITH A FALSE CHARACTER.—
A young man, named Wh,:elor, was remanded yesterday
from the Westminßter Police-court, ore a charge of hav-
ing obtained a situation by means of a false character.
EMBEZZLEIIENT.—Joseph Smith was finally examined
at Worshio-streot on a charge of having embezzled 3341.
which he bad received in his capacity of rate-collector
for the parish of St. Leonard, Shoreditch. The magis-
trate sentenced him to three months' imprisonment.
Another charge of having also embezzled the sum o
1501. was reserved until after the expiration of the
sentence.

Further accounts from Constantinople, relative
to the formation of a National Bank in Turkey,
mention that there are four parties applying for the
concession, who have laid their plans before the
commission at present deliberating upon the sub-
ject. The agents of these competitors are M.
Landau, for the house of Rothschild ; Mr. Ede,
for the Ottoman Bank of London ; Mr. Wilkins,
for another English company of capitalists ; and
Mr. Black, the representative of the associated
financiers of Galatz, whose plans were submitted
some time ago to the Ottoman Government. The
London Ottoman Bank is looked upon favourably
by the President, Fuad Pacha, probably through
the influence of Mr. Layard and theßritish Ambas-
mador. But the general impression is that the
concession will not be given to one party, and that
a fusion of two or more interests may be successful.
On the other hand it is said that the firm of Roths-
child possess great influence, and are likely to
succeed singly. What adds to this assertion is the
circumstance of M. Landau having positively
refused to consent to a fusion with any of the
other competitors who have severally made ad-
vances.

Although the various French journals speak in
more encouraging terms with regard to monetary
affairs in Paris, and it is stated that the bullion in
the national Bank is rapidly increasing, the pri-
'rate advices report no symptoms of recovery. The
French journals, it must be remembered, are not
Permitted to allude in an unfavourable manner to
the crisis, while the stock of the precious metals
has only been augmented through the purchases of
gold in this country. These purchases still con-
tinue, and the specie arrivals from Australia, an-
nounced yesterday, will most likely be transmitted
to Paris. The pressure for money is unabated, and
the commercial community, especially the retail
Portion, it is said, are still much embarrassed in
their operations. _

The Bank of England Directors yesterday after-
noon resolved to limit their advances on stock to
a Week, instead of a fortnight or a month, as here-
tofore. A good deal of surprise was occasioned
by this step, and the immediate effect was a de-
cline in the Funds. The Directors of the Bank
are evidently coitracting their engagements, and it
is stated that they refuse to discount foreign bills,
Which are drawn for the obvious purpose of draw-
ing out gold fur the continent. The demand for
Money is still very active, and no relief has yet
been afforded by the payment of the quarterly
dividendt.
The rates of exchange yesterday afternoon on
most of the continental cities slightly advanced.
When the decision of the Bank of England
directors, arrived at yesterday, became known, the
Funds dropped fully per cent ; and this morning
the depression of the market has increased, owing
to a continuance of speculative sales. The public
!till operate for investment, but their transactions,
In the face of such adverse dealing, give no support
to the quotations. Consols opened at 911 for
money, and 91l for account, but they are now
91 to H and 914 g respectively. The New Threes
have been 911, 90a and the Reduced 90} 90.
Bank Stock is marked 211 to 213. Exchequer
Bills are 3s. to 7s. premium, being lower,
the Bonds are 981 j ; and East India Bonds, ss.
to 10s. premium.
In the Foreign Market the dealings are chiefly
in connection with the settlement. Turkish 6 per
Cants., however, continue to recede in a very re-.
markable manner, transactions having been re-
corded in them this morning at 861 and 87i
The 4 per Cents. are 98i, being about 1 per cent.
lower. Spanish 3 per Cents. are firm at 421 ;
Russian 4i per Cents. are 95i to 9615; ; and Peru-
vian Threes, 531. Dutch 4 par Cents. are quoted
941.

Railway Shares are all lower, but except in con-
nection with the arrangement of the account, this

elng a name day, the dealings are unimportant.

cent. The French lines have also a downward
tendency. East Indian are 22 221, Great Western
°f Canada 22, and Paris and Lyons 481
Joint-Stock Banks and Miscellaneous Shares are
Without material alteration, with the exception of

MARKET NEWS.—(T l2ay.)

CORN EXCHANGE•

The English wheat in to-day's market was very mode-
rate, and in poor condition. All kinds moved off slowly,
but no actual change took place in the quotations.
Foreign wheat, the supply of which was tolerably good,
Was held at full prices, but the amount of business doing
in it was limited. There was a fair inquiry for floating
cargoes of grain, on former terms.
We had a slow sale for barley, at barely late rates.
Malt, however, was firm.
The oat trade was inactive, but no change took place in
the currencies.
Beans, peas, and flour sold slowly, on former terms.
