Ernst Schulz at the Egyptian Hall.

Owing to the unprecedented success that has
attended the entertainment of Herr Schulz, it is
proposed to continue the representation of
" Masks and Faces " some weeks beyond the time
originally fixed upon for the termination of his
performance in London. This style of entertain-
ment is at once so novel and exceedingly clever
that the success that has attended it during
the entire period it has been given is by
no means a surprise to those who have had
the pleasure of witnessing it, as nothing more
animated can be conceived than the living pictures
of the different species of humanity submitted to
the audience by Herr Schulz. In the four parts
into which the entertainment is divided, viz., Hu-
morous Sketches of the Varieties of Mankind,
Physiology of the Beard, My Portrait Album, and
Types of Races and Nationality—the changes of
countenance exhibited are little less than miraculous,
as every one of the six-and-forty changes Kerr
Schulz's features undergo during the entertain-
ment is a perfect study for au artist. It is net
simply a trifling change heightened by false wigs and
other theatrical contrivances of which we speak,
but a perfect and complete alteration of countenance
effected by an extraordinary control of the facial
muscles, each one being a perfect photograph of the
type represented. With respect to the second part
of the entertainment—the Physiology of the Beard—'
the effect is perfectly bewildering. At one time we
have the face ornamented with the military
moustache, the artist's beard, the half-pay beard,
the democratic beard, the mutton-chop whisker,
and a variety of others equally curious, all pro-
duced by a contrivance at once most surpris-
ing and ingenious. Those who have not yet
visited the Egyptian-hall ought certainly to avail
themselves of the present opportunity, for in
losing a sight of Herr Schulz they will miss one
of the most remarkable exhibitions ever produced in
the metropolis.

MUSIC.

THE SONGS OF ME. EL CLIFTON.

It is with much pleasure we have to speak of the
humorous and pleasing compositions of this very
clever vocalist and author, because they supply 3
want which has long existed, viz., a lively, merry
ditty, that can be sung at a private family party,
either by lady or gentleman, without the fear of
offending propriety. Unfortunately of late a taste
has to some extent sprung up for a class of songs of
a very questionable character, and " great comic
singers" have received in some instances enormous
salaries for doing that which, in the opinion Of
many, had much better been left alone. But a
change has begun to appear, and now real wit and
humour seem to be required in place of low vul-
garity. To Mr. Clifton is the favourable movement
mainly to be attributed, because unaided he has
worked against the vulgar taste, and that he has
succeeded is best shown by the very large demand
which every new song he issues to the public
through the instrumentality of Messrs. Hopwood
and Crew, of New Bond-street, is sure to meet
with. In the words of one of his own excellent
compositions, he has been " Pulling hard
against the stream," and at last the po-
pular tide has turned in his favour—a circumstance
that will give pleasure to every lover of mirth and
good taste. It would be impossible to enumerate
separately the merits of his compositions, but as
specimens of his style we take at random, "Bear it,
like a man," " Where there's a will there's a way,'
" A motto for:every man," " Work, boys, work,'
" Pulling hard against the stream," "My old wife,"
"Jones's musical party," "The railway bell," "It'o
really very singular," and " The good tempered man."
Each of the above are entirely of his own composi.•
tion, both words and music, and in all such a healthy
spirit prevails that the vocalist experiences as much
pleasure in singing as a really merry and wise party
would certainly feel in listening to them. Mr. Clifton
has doubtless worked hard, but the success he is nosy
enjoying must be both a gratification and a satisfac"
tion to him, especially as he has had to overcome
difficulties that appeared almost insurmountable•
Messrs. Hopwood and Crew have also just pub'
lished all the new dance music performed by Coote
and Tinney's band at the aristocratic balls during
the season, all the latest gems of melody sung
by the Christy Minstrels, including the immensely
popular ballads, " Sail on, silver cloud," " The bird
awaits.the day," " Mill May," and "Sweet thought°
of thee," and a series of instrumental pieces, the
latest being Berger's " Always Gay," and Riviere s
" Echoes of the Night," both brilliant and telling
compositions.

MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE o'CLoClt.
Affairs in the City this morning have commenced
rather buoyantly, the fineness of the weather exert-
ing a favourable influence. The Stock Exchange
markets are firmer, and even the railway depart-
ment, so much depressed by recent revelations, pre-
sents a better appearance. The public are evidently
more inclined to buy than they were a short time since,
and although speculators are sufficiently powerful
to " handle" prices to some extent, the tendency is
nevertheless in the ascendant. Nor could any other
condition of things be expected. The difficulties
of the session are nearly over. Foreign politics
present no disturbing feature, agricultural prospects
are excellent, and the Money Market is full to reple-
tion. With these considerations there is every promise
of greater prosperity, but much activity can scarcely
be expected until the holiday season has expired.
The lowest rates for discounting bills are 2k per cent.
but special transactions are recorded on lower terms,
and the demand for accommodation at the present
moment is merely for immediate wants, the impres-
sion being that the minimum will be reduced on
Thursday next, or at all events in the next week.
At the Bank of England only a small parcel of
gold was received, viz., £4,000.
The accounts from the principal manufacturing
districts for the past week represent that business
generally has remained very quiet.
Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
remain steady at 30.32, and the Consolidated
Mortgage Bonds have advanced 4, to 24/ 25i.

Two O'CLOCK.
Very little business is reported at the Stock Ex -
change, and, notwithstanding quiescence which
usually induces heaviness, and the determined
efforts of the " Bears" to produce depression,
values are not firmly sustained but exhibit unmis-
takably indications of buoyancy. Consols at the
last account are 94 11-16ths 13-16ths for money
and the 10th inst., and 94 13 -16ths 15-16ths for
August account, showing a rise of if compared with
the latest prices:current on Saturday afternoon.
The :New Threes are 94 34 ; Reduced Annuities,
932- 4 ; Bank of England Stock, 255; India Stock,
216 218 ex div. ; ditto 5 per Cents., 110 k 110 ;
ditto Enfaced 51 per cents., 108 f ; ditto £l,OOO
Bonds, 635. prem. ; and ditto under £l,OOO Bonds,
625. prem.

The Foreign Stock Market is very quiet. Italian
have all revived -a, to 484 49i ; Greek I, to 14i 15 ;
Mexican to 16a ; and Turkish 5 per Cents.
to 31i Spanish Passives are steady at 231 ;
the Certificates at 15f 4 ; and Russian Scrip at
preni.

Less buoyancy has been apparent in the Railway
Share Market, and, in several instances, prices show
a slight decline. Great Western have receded 4 ;
London, Chatham, and Dover, ; Great Northern
A Stock, ; North Western, ; Midland, ; and
South Eastern, 1 ; while North Eastern (Berwick)
have improved
In American Securities Erie shares are better,
at 43i 44 ; United States 5-20 Bonds at 72j
73i ; and Illinois firm, at 79
The Foreign and Colonial lines are without
material variation, Great Luxembourg being dealt
in at 14 ; South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian
at 15i I ; Great Indian Peninsula at 106} j ; East
Indian at 107* ; and Great Western of Canada
at 14i.

Bank Shares have remained very quiet. Impe-
rial Ottoman are dealt in at 8f ; London and
Westminster at 105 ; London Chartered of Aus-
tralia at 23} ; and Oriental Bank Corporation at
43i,

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

THE YELVEIt FON CASE.

The announcement that this case would come on
again this morning brought together a vast number
of persons, principally ladies, who appeared to
labour under the impression that the appellant
would commence the business of the day with her
reply. Much to their disappointment, however,
they learned that Mr. Anderson, Q.C., would pro-
ceed with his argument, founded on dry details of
Scotch law, that he would be likely to occupy a
considerable portion of the morning, and that he
would be followed by the Attorney-General on the
same side. At this time Mrs. Yelverton was pre-
sent, and a rumour began to prevail that an appli-
cation would in due time be made to allow the
appellant's reply on the whole case to stand over
until a future day. At half-past eleven o'clock,
however, the curiosity of the visitors was gratified,
as Mrs.Yelverton came into the house, accompanied
by her sister (Madame Lefevre) and other ladies.
She was dressed as before, in a lavender silk gown,
with black lace shawl, and a very diminutive black
lace bonnet. She was evidently very unwell, having
for some days past been suffering from a severe cold.
Mr. Campbell Smith, her counsel, was also present.
There was some little delly in consequence of the
absence of Lord Westbury, but at length it was
resolved to go on without him.
Mr. Anderson, Q.C., proceeded to contend for
the validity of the marriage of the respondent with
Mrs. Forbes, although the decree was not avowedly
for the purpose of establishing the validity of the
marriage or the legitimacy of the children. He held
that the reference now applied for would not bind
anybody, and that judgment bad been entered in
such a way that the Court of Session itself could not
interfere with it.

The Attorney-General having concluded his ad-
dress on behalf of the respondent, the further hear-
ing of the case was adjourned till to-morrow at
half-past r), when the appellant herself will reply,
their lordships deciding that after having given the
appellant the option at the outset of having her
case postponed on account of the absence of her
counsel, and she having elected to argue her own
case, her counsel could not be heard in reply.
The case was adjourned accordingly.
