LYCEUM THEATRE.

Last night a new and original play, in three 'ants,
entitled, " Lover's Amazements, or Hew Will it End,"
was produced al; this theatre with great success.' The
announcement that the piece was from the pen of Leigh
Hunt excited the most pleasant anticipations, which
were agreeably realised in the result. The scene of the
biilliant trifle is laid in France, and the plot is as fol-
lows : _ _ _

Chevalier de Torsey (Ur. J. G. Shore), an officer
of the Parliamentary forces, has the misfortune to fall
one evening into the hands of Captain de la Rousse
(Mr. C. Dillon); of the army of the Fronde, a very
"fast" young gentleman, as the modern phrase has it,
who, learning that his prisoner has undertaken to escort
a lady through the camp to a place of safety, gener-
ously allows him a fes:. hours' liberty, for the purpose
of fulfilling his gallant engagement. The fair one
in question is no other than the Chevalier's sweetheart,
ill, Countess de Montelais (Mrs. A. Mellon), in whom
th Captain recognises an old flame of his own, to whom
he nad made many soft protestations—false man that he
is—and in whoso society he had spent many hours of
innocent flirtation. The Captain boasts of the favours
he ha- received, an 1 is a= cordingly called to account by
tie Chevalier, 't hey fight, aid from the picket of de la
Rousse, who is wounded in the duels there falls a packet
of letters addressed to him in former times by the Cant'.
teas. Eagerly snatching the fatal prize, the Chevalier
rushes into the presence of his mistress with the intention
of finally cancelling their engagement. The Countess
receives him with supercilious hauteur, and " trumps"
his card most effectively by quietly handing him, in
return for his packet, !mother containing a number
of love-letters addressed by himself to a
certain Louise de la Motto (Mrs. Charles Dillon),
who has now retired to a convent, where, however, she
has not ai yet taken the veil, A pauionate csue ensues,
in the course of which the Countess utters many
pungent sarca.ma about the inconsistency of men in
exacting from the other sex a fidelity which they are by
no means prepared to reciprocate. In the third act we
find the Captain suffering severely from his wound, and
receiving the most humane attentions from a novice
Scour de Charite, for whom he conceives a romantic
passion. The sister lifts her dark veil, and to big
arnezement reveals the familiar features of Louise de la
Motte, the only woman whom he had ever truly loved.
It is now Louise's turn to play at reprisals, and she does
so in brilliant style. But ultimately all comes right.
The two sets of lovers agree, and matrimony, which
always means happiness (on the stage), is the delightful
dertiny of all the characters in this pictty little drama.
The principal part, Captain de la Rousse, was admirably
sustained by Mr. C. Dillon. He pourtrayed the gallant,.
loving, careless cavalier to the life. Mrs. C. Dillon and
Mrs Mellon have parts that suit to a nicety, and the
result is a very fascinating and graceful performance,
and Mr. Shore acquitted himself with much ability.
On the fall of the curtain the applause was embus'.
astic, amidst which there were loud calls for the author.
In a few momeuts Leigh Huut was led forward by Mr.
Dillon, and the venerable poet was received in a man-
ner wel befitting one who has been so long associated
with the national literature. The house was crowded,
every seat being occupied previous to the rising of
the curtain.

The advices from the provinces, although de-
cidedly of an improved character, still report occa-
sional failures, but they are not of magnitude, and
are, in most instances, anticipated either from pre-
vious rumours or from the nature of outstanding
engagements. Much regret has been caused by
the suspension of two old-established firms at New-
castle, viz., Messrs. Matthew, Plummer, and
Company, general merchants, and Messrs. Clarke,
Plummer, and Co., of the Northumberland Flax
mills. The liabilities are stated to be very large,
but the assets being also considerable, hopes are
entertained of a satisfactory liquidation. A meeting
of the creditors will be called as soon as an investi-
gation can be made, and a report furnished respect-
ing the prospects of those interested. There can be
no doubt that the late pressure has been more
severely felt in the North of England than persons
resident here generally imagine, but the actual
stoppages have not been so numerous as might
have been expected.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
steadily, and quotations were fully maintained.
The sales were estimated at 15,000 bales, 4,000 of
which were taken by the speculators, and 1,000
by the exporters. In the Railway Share Market
a better feeling presented itself, and a moderate
business was transacted, at rather higher prices.
The Silver Market is quiet, at previous rates.
Business is generally dull during the few days suc-
ceeding the departure of the steamer. The specie
movement continues most satisfactorily, the im-
ports still being largely i❑ excess of the export.
To-day 156,1411. is reported from Mexico, and the
arrival of remittances from Australia is hourly ex-
pected. The amount of gold sent into the Bank
yesterday was 25,0001., and the total of the
precious metals must now exceed 14,000,0001.
The Bank of England directors, contrary to
general expectation, have made no alteration in the
minimum rate of discount. It was thought that the
terms would have been reduced to 4 per cent., espe-
cially as the bullion is being daily augmented through
the influx of gold. The money-market thus presents
the anomalous feature that whilt, th© official rate
5 per cent., bills of good quality can be negotiated
is Lombard-street at 3 per cent. The mainte-
nance of the minimum under such circumstances
is ridiculous, but, while the present system lasts,
the public must not be astonished at such peculiari-
ties.

The Funds have been firmer to-day, and the quo-
tations show an advance of per cent., notwith-
standing the Bank rate is supported at 5 per cent.
A large purchase has been made—viz., 150,0001.
—for investment, and this has no doubt ex-
ercised a beneficial influence. Consols for trans-
fer have been 941 to 95, and for the account
94 95, but they are now 95 to 951 respectively.

-There has been a very limited business reported
in the Railway Share Market this morning, but
in several instances prices have slightly improved.
Eastern Counties, Edinburgh and Glasgow, Great
Northern, Great Western, Manchester, Sheffield,
and Lincoln and Norfolk, improved 10s. ;
Brighton declined 10s. ; and South-Western, 15s. ;
In, the Foreign and Colonial lines no business of
any importance was transacted, and little variation
in prices can be quoted. Northern of France are a
shade lower, and Grand Trunk of Can,,cla and
Great Western of Canada realised about yester-
day's quotations. The New East Indian lines
remain at previous rates.

In the debates on the Indit Bill of 1853 there
was one. poilit in which Mr. Vernon Smith suc-
cessfully' interested himself, and that was in the
increase a the President's salary to 5,0001. a year.
In trying to raise the miserable pittance, as it
was called, of the Directors he was not able to
assist, and when the salary of the Chairman of the
Company was proposed to be raised from 1,0001.
to 1,5001. .1-year, Mr. V. Smith advised the
Indian Mini.ster of the day against the proposal.
But when the question was about the salary to be
paid to some one of the few persons with Parlia-
mentary standing, who, under present circum-
stances, are likely to become the Mir-ester for India,
we find a different spirit pervading Parliamentary
circles, Mr. Vernon Smith's proposal met with
general concurrence, Mr. Williams alone objecting
to' it. Lord Palmerston, who seldom speaks oi.
Indian matters, added his approv a of this arrange-
ment, and the office, which in a few months was to
fall into the hands of Mr. Vernon Smith himself,
was, by his own motion, invested with the highest
salary which is given to Government officers.
Of course it is merely a coincidence, but it is
t very curious one, that the honourable member
-was raising the salary of an office which he was to
be himself the first to enjoy on the new ter; but
the trait of character exhibited by the circle imsn Par-
liament who decide those matters is very s gnificamt,
and gives us some idea of the spirit in which legis-
lation would be carried on, and patronage di& i-
buted, if the entire management of India fell into
tbcs hands of purely Parliamelea, y men. Where
tho protégé of a peer rf large influence is oncertiedc
there would be no difficulty iremaking the office to
which he aspires worthy of his acceptance, but for
the M. roXXot, the hard-working men of Indian re-
putation, a merely nominal salary is sufficient for
their nor vices...Morn* Adm r 14.4
