The Haymakket Revival Of The " Beaux' St...
to their brains—must , in short , have a modicum of brains to answer the appeal . The disfavour into which Congbeve and others of his school have fallen , arises , as we conceive , partly from the plain speaking of their profligacy ( for now-a-days we demand that our immoralities should be delicately i wrapped up in inuendo ) , and partly from a better motive—from a dislike , or j rather a horror , of that uniform disbelief in anything good or noble which i was the central principle in the dramas of the earlier comedy writers . Licence in itself , though , bad , is but a venial sin compared with this shocking obliteration of the instinctive sentiments of humanity . Licence is not necessarily inconsistent with generosity of nature , and with faith in the goodness of the heart ; but the writers of the age of Charles II . and An me denied the least spark of nobility in any human act—denied the very possibility of virtue in deed or aspiration . Utter selfishness , meanness , and disregard of othersa cold , calculating , smiling , sparkling villany—the heart corrupt to its very centre , and the brain a more cynic without the grandeur of self-denial—such was the picture of human nature which those classics of the stage presented night after night to delighted audiences , who thought they were seeing vice castigated , but were in fact abetting its extension . For , if the charge against humanity was anything approaching truth , the flaunting it so gaily in the face of the world could only increase the evil , by offering the excuse of universality ; if false , which we believe it to have been , it was a libel on mankind . Therefore , we are inclined to agree with Jeremy Collier that the influence of such exhibitions was demoralising , though we arrive at the conclusion by roads very different from those travelled by that dirt- eating divine . Farquhak was the least sinner in this respect of any of his school , though bad enough ; and the Beaux ? Stratagem , produced as a relic of bygone tastes , will do no harm to audiences of the present day . It may be doubted , however , if it will ever become popular . To say the truth , it is rather dull as an acting comedy . It possesses what we conceive were the common faults of all of its class—a frittering away of the dramatic action into a number of small sections , so that no one character is brought into any prominent relief ; and a want of that skilful combination by which the various incidents are brought to tear upon one common centre , and to aid in the elaboration or the disentanglement of the plot . Perhaps , also , our modern tastes have been accustomed to the quick movement of the lighter pieces from the French , and to the effective and tableau-like termination of the acts ; all of which we miss in the Beausc' Stratagem . Bitt . there is abuntlant knowledge of the villanous side of human nature—abundant wit and
biting satire ; and the Haymarket company did their best last Saturday night to give vitality to this disagreeable view of life . The principal acting lay with Miss Reynolds and Mr . Buckstone . The former performed the part of Mrs . Sullen with vivacity and spirit . It was a difficult part , for the lady is all along intriguing against her husband up to a certain point , yet perpetually holding to her honour for safety against dangerous extremities ; but Miss Revnolds managed to convey the general idea of the character without offending the audience . Buckstone was inexpressibly ludicrous in the country servant . Scrub , suddenly awakened to coxcombical ideas of gait and gesture by the example of his supposed fellowaervant , the disguised gentleman , Archer ( Howe ) ; and his imitation of the rnock illness of Aim well ( Mr . W . Faerb . v )—his soothing encouragement of himself to " take a little of this cordial water "—videlicet , the contents of a tankard of strong ale—were evidences of high comic faculty . This incident , however , is an interpolation ; and we remarked some others . Howe and Farren played the two rakes with life and energy , though without anv conspicuous talent ; and Miss Swanborovgh did the most that was possible for the uninteresting character of Dorinda . Miss Bella Copeland , who performed the landlord ' s daughter , Cherry , is a young ladynew to the stage . She has a slight figure and a small voice ; but plays with . a pleasant freshness and absence from conventionalisms . An older actress would have given more sting and smartness to Cherry , but might have failed to interest us as much .

From Paris we " glad to hear , that M . Edmond About's new comedy is definitively in rehearsal at the Theatre Franc ais , and it is hoped willb e ready for the forthcoming Carnival season . The title of the comedy is Guillery ; it is in three acts , and in prose ; the principal chararters will be acted by MM . Pbovost , Got , An 3 elme , and Ba . che , Mdiles . Nathalie and Valerie . Great expectations are formed of the success of the first dramatic essay of the young and brilliant author of Tolla and of those charming sketches of society , Les Manages de Paris , now appearing in thp feuillelon of the Monifeur . Guillery is said to be full of wit and vivacity , and it is to be splendidly put on the stage . ¦»

Money Market And City Intelligence Londo...
MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE London , Friday Evening , Jan . 11 , 1856 . The settling day in the English Funds has taken place this week . The fluctuations have beon very considerable during the week , but the market is firmer 111 appearance . The Bank directors broke up yesterday , without raising the rate of discount , in anticipation of which there had been some heavy sales effeo'ed on Tuesday and Wednesday . It would still seem from the price pnid for continuations , that the Bulls , sncoulatlvely cousidered , ar « in the majority , and the Speech from the Throne , accompanied byilie Chancellor mwuici mil
* n iiHis tJAviKijuci n iiiuifa * % ? < v t'iav w ivtiuwii . Loans , increased income-tax , a divided Cabinet , perhaps , and a dissolution ahetul , will all go to weaken the price of the Funds . In tlio Foreign Stocks thore has been a fall , Turkish Six per Cents * , nt one time were as low as 793 , 80 . but have rallied again . Itnlhvny securities are of course lower , but liavo not sympathised much with tlio fall in the Funds , aa ia their wont . Eastern Counties are considerably flatter . Tlie report of the Government Inspector on a portion of their line , showing Ha insecurity nnd dnngorou . s state , of course has been thooauao . Great Westerns nrc lower , also Gieat 'Wostern of Canada , & o . In the Foreign Mining Mnrkut there him been no trade to Apeak of , although in the English Mining Market there has ween much investment . Crystal Palaces remain the same . At four o ' clock Consols closed heavily at 801 , i- Heavy Government sales are auld to be the cause . Outside the Stock Exchange this ia tlU 0 to a grent extent , but tl » o feeling In the ' House" is de cidedly •' Bear . Aa to any pence negotiations of any mark being arranged , tho idea now nwma to bo abandoned .
