AIMS KELLY'S THEATRE.
We were much delighted by a on Saturday last to this
very elegant little place of amusement in Dean-stieet, Sdhoi
square. The time was erst when the name of " Miss Kelly's
was enough to draw a crowded audience to any house. Her
sweetly modulated voice, h r just conception, her truthful act-
ing, and her unstained reputation, were attributes which ren-
ablid hI I It Once Ole favourite and the admiration of the whole
Misi Relit has lett none of her powers of former
days; her voice is as sweet as ever; lief eoneeption juster, more
truthful still her acting, untainted yet lier fbpfttation; and yeti
we grieve to say it, Miss Kelly and her company nightly flak
to almost empty benches. Can it be that a fickle public has
deserted the old favourite? We can scarce believe it. Can it
be that Miss Kelly's little theatre is unkisown to the public
geriefilly 'We think it is, and to that cause. and that alone,
do we ascribe the tefy liddt honse which we beheld on Satur-
day. Miss Kelly is an ictregs tshose untiring zeal
and perseverance, united with the verj, eteellent bill
of fare which she always presents, deserves the gnpre.
and countenance of the public; and we are sure her theatre
eitilif requires to be known to be universally visited. The
enteyfainnients on Saturday consist d of the clever little farce
of Pie Intripile, the &lima of The Miller's Maid ,and the
farce of The Irish J'iifoi, Stith between pieces. L. Schully's
much admired Rondo a la Chasse, eieduted in a most masterly
style on the guitar, by Herr Otto Feder. In the first piece,
every actor was perfection ; not one, indeed, of the whole cots
appears to be mediocre, they are all first .rate in the parts as-
Signed to them ; Mr. Kinloch, Mr. Garth, J. Webster, and
fllfss boulder vt-efe excellent. In The Miller's Maid, Miss
Kelly sustained her Original character of Phoebe, and that
most admirably: It has netef fallen to our lot to witness a
more exquisite piece of acting—spurning all !lefty attempts at
stage effect, nut even painting her face to add unnattiral e,rdt!t3.
Miss Kelly is content to be natural—truly natural she is, iii d
with nature to back her, she could not but succeed. Mr.
Grafton, as Giles, was a'so admirable, his acting was true to
life ; indeed; Miss Kelly appears to have infused a spirit of
na•ure over the whole horse I every actor, every thing is natu-
ral. We did not like Webstef in this piece, he is not suited for
a sailor nor a walking gentleman; the dashing little active
tiger, or the bouncir.g servant are his forte, and in those cha-
racters we advise him to stick. Mr. Aybffee, Mr. H. C. Welt;
and Mrs, Benson, were very good. The entertainments con-
gliided; bk partjcular desire, with the lance of The Irish Tutor
and herd Mr. H. Datnilten: from Liverpool, as Terry O'Rourke,

for to this the production of suggr ottr market is by
law confined, has been called in to assist, Mg PtOducing
less than the paltry island of Mauritius, this feitinfee;
has bethi Wholly inadequate. The result is that the
sugar, *bleb may be had at Hamburgh or Bremen, or
" under lock " in the London stfel tiverpoOl warehouses,
costs the British consumer 405., or cent, per eent. more.
The export has of course ceased, and the reVetlite has of
course declined, No one ventures to dispute these kis.
and, indeed, being chronicled in the public Gazette, they
are indisputable.
Now, the quantity of sugar 'eonSuilied in 1841 was
above 200,000 tons, or better than 4,0M,000 dvt'tSs; Oil
which the monopoly charge of 20s. the cwt. makes full'
millions sterling. Here item sum equal to what Sir I.
Peel calculates on receivitig from the Income tax, Irish
stamps, Irish whiskey, and coal duty t and if, under a
free trade, every farthing of it were toted as a sugar
duty, the whole might go into the public Treasury, and
the supply of sugar be larger and cheaper than it is noW.
But what says our great sugar manufacturer and
small Chancellor of the Exchequer to this state of
things ? Why, that the price of sugar is " not execs-
sive." The poor Englishman is called upon to pay
a shilling for what might be got, and what ail
other people do actually get, for a sixpence, and his
great consolation is the assurance of a West. India
proprietor that the extra charge of 100 per cent. is
" not excessive." It would do Mr. •Gloulburn ser-
vice, as a statesman, to set up a grocer's shop for a
few mouths, and see what his customers would say
of his prudence or his honesty when, boasting all the
while of moderate prices, he attempted to sell for a
shilling what was intrinsically worth but a sixpence, and
what all respectable tradesmen were actually selling at
that sum. Moderate and modest as Mr, Labouchere is,
almost to a fault, even he was provoked to tell Mr.
Goulburn that in this he spoke more as a West India
Proprietor than as Chancellor of the Exchequer.
And now for the virtual President of the Board of
Trade. The proposal of Mr. Labouchere, be says,
would hardly save a penny a pound in sugar, so that
there was no reason to expect from it " any great or
sudden relief to the consumer." This is thoughtless
and blundering. Mr. Gladstone's own statement of the
consumption of last year was 200,003 tons, and this
year he estimates that it will be much higher: Let us
call it, then, 200,010. This will make 448,022,400
pounds on each of which there would be a penny saved,
and this would amount to 1,866,7601., or a national
saving which is much nearer to two than to one million
sterling. Every 20s. thus saved would buy a hundred
weight of Cuba or Porto Rico sugar, equal in average
quality to our Muscovado, the result of which would be
to multiply our consumption of a necessary of life by
an amount approaching to near one-half more than our
present penurious supply, " -
This is perhaps not so "great and sudden a relief
as might be given to the people, but it is notwithstanding
something very respectable t and, to be plain, in value
