HA YMA RKET THEATRE.
The Stra flyer was acteclAt th'Theatre last evening, Mr.
Stuart sustaining the prineirdTharaeter,and a more beauti-
fully impassioned piece of natural acting than Mr. Stuart's
Stranger we have never seen. In the first scene, in which
he appears as the gloomy misanthrope, the under current
of kindheartedness and benevolence was visible through
all his assumed moroseness, until, at length, touched by
his servant's kindness and fidelity it bursts forth in the
words " Francis—forgive me," which were given by Mr.
Stuart with a warmth of feeling, mingled with an ex-
pression of self-reproach that drew down loud applause.
I'ha scene with Steinsfort, toe, WAS excellently given.
There was no rant, no false point, no straining after effect,
at the same time there was no. tatnenes6 ; he detailed
the history of his wrongs, and described his lacerated
feelings with a teinkr and impassioned eloquence that
went to every heart, but yet in the very ‘vhirlwind of his
passion, he never once " overstepped the modesty of
Nature." The last scene of the fourth act, in which the
Stranger and Mrs. Haller arc introduced to each other,
is perhaps one of the most difficult scenes in the play
for an actor to give effectively. If over-asted it is
ridiculous. If too tamely given, the whole scene is
rendered ineffective. We have never seen this scene
snore effectively rendered than it was by Mr. Stuart.
lie enters with the air of one not unused to polished
society, bows to the Countess, recognises in Mrs. Haller
his guilty wife, starts back for an instant, as though he
had seen one raised from the dead, and with a look of
the most intense agony turns to leave the Castle. Since
the days of Kean we have not had an actor possessed of
such powers of expre,sion as Mr. Stuart, and never was
the expression of intense agony more finely depicted
than it was by this gentleman last evening. The
whole of the filth act was a perfect
This act, which, in unpractised or inefficient hands,
is either shim:atolls or disgusting, was r,iven with
an impassioned tenderness, a quiet dignity, which,
it stamps Mr. Stuart as a man of high genius, went at
once to the hearts of his auditors. He stood firm, appa-
rently, as a roail, but, through all
.this assumed calm-
ness of demeanour, the terrible conflict that was going
on within, between love and is If-respect—the war be-
tween man and society—was distinctly visible, and shook
his frame as with an earthquake's shock. His exqui-
sitely beautiful acting in this the closing scene of the
play was properly appreciated by the audience, the dead
silence which reigned throughout the house being only
broken by sobs, until the curtain fell, when the
applause was most vociferous. Stuart was, of
course, loudly called for, and made his appearance,
leading on Miss Helen Faucit, who, as Mrs. Haller, had
rendered him most efficient support, and had fully
earned her share of the applause which was so liberally
bestowed on them both. We watched Mr. Stuart nar-
rowly throughout his whole performance, and could not
detect a single flaw in it. His acting last night was per-
fect and faultless, and never, of late years, has the cha-
racter of the Stranger been so well performed. In the
delineation of strong passion he is unrivalled. For
years the country has not sent us up such an actor as
Mr. Stuart ; and Mr. Webster, in having secured his
services, may be considered atmost fortunate. We can-
not close this notice without bestowing high praise on
Mr. Gough, for the manner in which he acted the little
part of Tobias. By the warmth of feeling ivhich he
threw into the part, he made this generally insignificant
character quite a feature in the piece. We were glad to
see his merits were properly appreciated, and that he
was rewarded with that applause his exertions so richly
merited. The house, notwithstanding the unfavourable
state of the weather, was well filled.

ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT BY A

BANK TELLER.
A case is under investigation by the Magistrates at
Glasgow, which has excited verro9nsiderable interest in
the city, involving, as it does, circumstances of a very
serious nature against one of the tellers of the Glasgow
and Ship Bank, an old and a highly-respectable esta-
blishment. We have no means of ascertaining what
transpired at the judicial examination of the parties on
Tuesday, which occupied the attention of the sitting
Magistrates, the assessor, and Procurator Fiscal, for
nearly ten hours ; but from other sources we have ob-
tained some particulars of a most extraordinary charac-
ter, which we shall now lay heroic our readers. It ap-
pears that, late on Monday evening, information was
lodged at the police office, by persons connected with
the above bank, that, in the cash transactions of Mr.
Robert Smith, the teller, there were deficiencies to the
extent of 2,000/.; in consequence of which, Capt. Miller
went to Smith's lodgings, in West Nile-street, about two
in the morning, roused him from his bed, and took him
into custody for examination as to embezzlement to the
above amount. On his way to the office, we learn that
Smith vas much affected. Ile said that he had been
" made a tool," or words to that effect ; and added that
he was " a second Beaumont Smith," or expressions of
a similar import. The books and papers found in his
lodging- were then obtained and carefully exlmined,
when there were found numerous documents, and among
others several bank cheques for. various sums, from 300/.
to 1,000/. on different banks, on which was the name of
Mr. James Wishart, wine and spirit-merchant, High-
street ; and this circumstance, taken in connexion with
the statement said to be made by Smith, was a point not
to be overlooked. Captain Miller the same morning
took Mr. Wishart into custody, and about twelve o'clock
in the day the examination of the parties commenced.
Among Wishart's effects there were found certain docu-
ments which led to the belief that the sum deficient
must be to a much larger amount than was at first re-
ported, reaching probably to upwards of ten thousand
pounds and it is supposed that Wishart must have
obtained cash from Smith to the amount of 6,0001.
How the bank orders came into Smith's possession, is a
circumstance which cannot be accounted for; and why he
retained such papers, is equally a subject of conjecture,
seeing that he had not at the time a sixpence in advance
in the bank. How a fraud could be committed by the
teller of any bank to such an extent, is a matter of mere
conjecture. His exchanges with other banks are made
up every night, and it is supposed that it must have
been in this process that the deficiency appeared. Smith
was a young man of character and acquirements. He
came to Glasgow about fifteen years ago, through the
influence of Mr. Brown, of the Old Ship Bank, and was
teller in that establishment when it was united to the
Glasgow Bank. or late years he has been much in the
company of gamblers, and was also expensive in his
habits. Ile kept a pair of fine horses, and appeared to
be livinn. altogether at a rate above his uslensible means.
We understand he belongs to Mauchline, in Ayrshire.
Wishart's brother, who is shopman in the cellar in
High-street, was also examined, but was not detained.
Smith and Wishart were, at the close of the examina-
tion, about twelve o'clock, committed to the North
Prison, to be further examined in this singular business.
