BOURSE, May 21, Two o'clock.—Business has
been resumed to-day amidst the greatest uneasiness
and apprehension, and the quotations of all classes
of securities show a further sensible fall. The mar-
ket, however, has now continued so long in this
state of anxiety that little improvement cau be ex-

pected until the delicate state of Continental affairs
shall have taken a definite turn—either in the sense
of a declaration of war or the success of the nego-
tiations now in progress to bring about a peaceful
arrangement. Threes, for the Account, have de-
clined 40c., the price now being at 62f. 90c. Credit
Mobilier Shares are now offered below par, viz., at
495 f., or a loss of 18f. 75c. Italian Fives show a
loss of 20c.—at 37f. 50c. Credit Foncier have
fallen 12f. 50c., viz., 1,082 f. 50c., and Comptour
d'Escompte Shares at 662 f. 50c., showing a depre-
ciation of Bf. 75c. Quotations have also receded in
the Railway Department, Lyons and Northern
Shares are each quoted sf. lower, and Austrian and
Lombard 2f. 50c. each. English Consols are tele-
graphed with a decline of I per cent. An addi-
tional amount of 57,500 f. French Rente is being

WH TSUN TIDE AMUSEMENTS.

LYCEUM.

The entertainment last evening at this bijou
theatre, one of the most elegant and popular
theatres in all London, was exceptionally attrac-

At present we can find neither time nor
space to say more than that the revival of the
" Corsican Brothers," under Mr. Fechter's manage-
ment, was worthy of his genius as an Actor, of his
taste as an Artist, and of his liberality as a
Theatrical Manager. The piece was put upon the
stage with the utmost splendour. The scenery,
by Mr. Grieve and assistants, was magnificent. The
appointments were rich and varied. While as for
the twin brothers, Fabien and Louis dei Franchi,
they had their matchless impersonator in that
rarely gifted and exquisitely pathetic artist, Charles
Fechter, forrmerly of Paris, now, happily, for
us all, of London, and of London permanently !
Having been the original impersonator of the Cor-
sican Brothers, having represented the twin heroes
of that haunting and haunted melodrama on the
10th of August, 1850, on the boards of the Theatre
Historique—Mr. Fechter has thus revived it
between fifteen and sixteen years afterwards on the
21st of May, 1866, on the boards of his own thea-
tre, the Lyceum! And he has done so in a manner
calculated not only to enhance his own resplendent
reputation as an Actor, but to win " golden
opinions from all sorts of men"—golden opinions
that are likely for many weeks, and probably
for many months to come, to tinkle nightly into his
coffers as Manager. The Revival is a brilliant suc-
cess, and one that deserves to be—what we have no
doubt that it will certainly prove to be—exception-
ally and splendidly remunerative.
