DRAMATIC INTELLIGENCE.

LIVERPOOL, JAR. 4.—The Old Theatre Royal, Liverpool,
still keeps up its powerful attraction. The houses are literally
crowded to suffocation. Mr. Webster, of the Haymarket, has
been performing here during the week, with Madame Celeste,
in the popular dramas of Victor and Hortense and The Pretty
Girls of Stilbery, and both have been applauded to the echo.
Indeed, the interest excited was intense. The theatre has
been open but seven nights, and nearly 18,000 persons have
paid to enter it. Buckstone and Mrs. Fitzwilliam appear next
week in a new operatic drama, adapted and partly re-written
from Donizetti's Opera of La File du Regiment, as Mr.
Webster returns to London to superintend the revival of The
Merry Wives of Windsor, at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket,
on Tuesday night, in which Madame Vestris and Mrs. Nisbett
will enact the Merry Wives.

THE MARQUIS OF WESTMINSTER AND THE

ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE.

•
We have just heard a rumour, to the effect that the Mar-
quis of Westminster has sent a very complimentary letter to
the Council of the Anti-Corn-law League, accompanied by the
munificent subscription of 5001., in aid of the Great League
Fund. If this should be true, it will be another very
" great fact" for the Times, falling like a thunderbolt amongst
the monopolists, who plead the absolute necessity of a
continuance of the corn-laws, as a means of providing for their
mortgages and marriage settlements. The Noble Marquis is
one of the greatest landowners, and most opulent noblemen
in the kingdom, and so munificent and practical a protest
against the iniquitous corn-laws, as that which he is reported
to have made, would, in conjunction with those of Earl
Spencer, Earl Fitzwillitm, Lord Ducie, and other distinguished
Peers and agriculturists, be the death-knell of monopoly.—
