- ¦ — ^ ,. . THEATRICAL NOTES . Mb . Pheljps , last Saturday night , revived Shakspeark ' s Timon of Athens , himself pe rforming t he part of the old Greek misanthrope , and Mr . Mi rston appearing as Apemanius . The play Iiad been brought out at Sadler ' s Wells once before , in the year 1851 , at which time it had not been played since 1816 J ¦ wh en , though supported by Edmund "Mean , then in the flush of his unparalleled popularity , it was something very like a failure . Though containing some of Shakspeare ' s finest writing , It had never been popular till Mr . Puelps made it so ; for , dating back from 1816 , "we must travel as far as the reign of Charles II . before ' we can find another representation of Timon on the stage ; and even then it was thought necessary , by patching it with some of honest Shadwkll ' s upholstery , to make it pretty and interesting for the beaux and belles of those days , who were offended at the want of female interest . In subsequent times , the same and other presumed defects were kindly amended by Cumberland and the Hoh » Geobge Lamb ; but the manager of Sadler ' s Wells has not found it advisable to adopt any of these aids to Shaksfeabe , but has given the play simply as he found it , except for those omissions which it is always necessary to make from a drama of the Elizabethan days . Beautiful scenery and gorgeous costumes are not wanting in the present revival ; and there is a panorama representing the mareli of Aldbiades to Athens , while , for a concluding tableau , ¦ we have avaew on tlie shore of the ocean , with the tomb of Timon in the foreground , and the invading army grouped about it , as an illustration of those grand lines : . — :. ¦ ' . ¦ . . ¦ ¦ ¦ . ; . : ¦ ¦ ¦' ' ¦ ¦ " . ¦ : ' . ' ¦ . " : ; . ' ' - ¦ ' Say to Athens , Timon hath made his everlasting mansion : Upon the beached verge of the salt flood , Which once a day with his embossed froth The turbulent surge shall cover . Mr . Phelps is always conspicuously fine in : parts where there is a mingling of misanthropy and broken-hearted grief ; and his audience has now for the second time endorsed his performance of Timon . The revival is a success . The engagement of Mrs . Emma . Waller at Dkdry Lake terminated on Saturday night with her performance of Beatrice in Much Ado about Nothing . Talking of Dkurt Lane , we may mention that the play called Bianca , which was announced for production by Mr . E . T . Smith , has been withdrawn . It was written by Hobson , the person now in custody under charges connected with the frauds at the Crystal Palace ; and it is of course obvious that there was no Choice but to consign it to forgetfulness . A play , with the rather melodramatic title of The Adventurer on the Fiend ' s Mountain , vf as produced on Monday evening at Drtjry Lane , for the purpose of introducing Mr . Ba-rrt Sollivan in the character of a roistering Gascon , who goes to the Fiend ' s Mountain on a perilous adventure in search of a certain lady reported to be guilty of the charming little coquetry of murdering several husbands in succession , like Assyrian Semiramis . This wayward lady afterwards turns out to lie the Duchess of Monmouth , who has herself put forth the story of the husband-murdering , to keep off intruders ; and the Gascon , who has introduced himself to her , is arrested in mistake for the rebel Duke . He is even sentenced to death , under this error ; but matters are made right in the end and both tlie Gascon and the Duke get clear off , leaving to the audience the pleasing reflection that they all live happy ever after . The plot is from M . Eugene Stje ' s story of Madame Barfie-Bleue . The Oltmpic reopened on Monday with Still Waters Run Deep , and the First Night . Mrs . Wigan resumed her original part in the former piece . Another triumph of scenic splendour and artistic skill was added to the Ion « list of Mr . Kean ' s enchantments at th e Princess's , on Wednesday evening , in the production of Midsummer Night ' s Dream . We have so often argued the impropriety of making Shakspeaee subsidiary to spectacle that we decline to enter again into that question , and therefore merely refer to the present ' revival' as we should to a pageant at a Czar ' s coronation . There can be no two opinions as to the extraordinary beauty and ingenuity of Mr . Kean ' s
achievements as a stage artist ; and here we have a new world of fairy life , moon-lit haunted forests , and stately palaces , opened to us . The electric light is brought into frequent operation , and reveals , in sudden snatches , alternating with green glooms of foliage Oberon , and Titania , and the elves , reclining on pendant boughs , starting out of blue-bells and " the nodding violets , " or weaving their fantastic and volatile dances in the midst of illummated flowers . Of the acting , it will be sufficient to say that Mr . Harlev performs Bottom , Mr . Frank Matthews Peter Quince , Mr . Ryi > eu Theseus , Miss Mukbat Hippolyta , Miss Heath Helena , Miss Leclerq Titania , and Miss Tejinan Oberon . — -Pizarro now follows the fairy Dream ; so that the spectators go home to bed full gorged with splendours . The King ' s Musketeers Is the title of a piece founded ou the dramatized version of Alexanrbe Dumas ' s novel Les Trois Mousquetaires , and produced at the Ly ceum on Thursday . The passion of Anne of Austria ( Mts ^ White ) for George Villiers , Duke of Buckingham , and the wily opposition or Richelieu , form the main incidents of the plot . Mr . Dillon performed D'Artagnan , and Miss Woolgar made a success in the part of the Queen ' s attendant , Constance . Two brief snatches of Italian opera are announced for the last days of October , like the unexpected notes of Spring birds suddenly startling us , on some warm , golden-tinged Autumn clay , in the midst of " the waning woods" and plashy fields . Mdlle . Piccolomini proposes to appear at Her Majesty ' s Theatre on Thursday next , the 23 rd inst ., in Don Pasquale , and the last scene of the first act of La Figlia del lieggimento . On tlie following Saturday slie will once more shock the Times , the Eev . Mr . M'Hugh , and the old ladies , by performing Jn the Traviata ; after which , she vanishes across the sea for Paris . The prices of admission will be reduced . —At DittRY Lane , some of the old Covent Garden company will appear , on Monday , October 27 th , and during the week , in six operas , of which the first three will be Norma , II Barbiere , and Lucrezia Borgia . The performers are—Madame Grist , Madame Ajiadei , Madame Gassier ; Signori Mabio , Lorini , Kovere , and Albiciui ; Monsieur Gassieb , Heir Formes , & c . The prices are to be on the former Drxjrx Lane scale . London , will assuredly fancy that the spring has come .

Our Hope, Expressed Last Week, That Satu...
Our hope , expressed last week , that Saturday would be a fine day , in order that the last display of the great fountains at the Crystal Palace might lie worthily illuminated , was doomed to disappointment . The rain poured down incessantly , and the day was gloomily oppressive with heavy mist and a comfortless wind , against which the fountains struggled vainly ^ and made but a poor j exhibition of their glories . Here , therefore , was a great disappointment , which the visitors made up for by admiring the magnificence of two Oriental worthies who shone upon the Palace that day in all their barbaric splendour . These were Mirza . Secunkar Hushjiet Bahadur , brother to the King of Ocbe , and Mirza WtriAEE Hyde Bahadur , son of the King and heir apparent—to the title . The former was a very incrustation of gold , purple and gems , and walked about tie aisles Like starlight clad with jewels That-were the spoils of provinces . The young prince was more subdued ; but both warmed the dull day with a bit of sunshine from the hot East . A . " Ceramic Court , " or court for the exhibition of Pottery , has been opened at the People ' s Palace . " It is divided , " says the Times , " into two departments . I The department on the side nest the terrace is purely hist orical , and here we have presented to us specimens of every nation , of every age , and in every degree of preservation—Chinese and Babylonian and Egyptian , Greek and Roman and Etruscan , Italian , German , and French , together -with a complete ' collection of English ware . To these many of the most enthusiastic collectors in this country have very generously contributed . In the remaining division ¦ of the court , Mr . Battam has judiciously selected the masterpieces of the historical section , and ^ placed them together in an artistic comparison with modern English earthenware . Here we have the choicest works of Copeland , I of Minton , of Battam , of Kerr and Binns , and others brought into proximity not only with the old Wedgewood china , the old Chelsea and Derby , but with the Dresden , the Berlin , the Palissy ware , Majolica ware , and some of the most glorious specimens of Sevres and Limoges .

—?—London , Friday Evening , Octo-lior 17 , 1858 . Since last weok tho demand for bullion on tho Continent has continued , and tho Jfcuik of England directors have devised tlireo or four petty hindrances to pfto-plo obtaining credit . Tho conscquenco is , an uncomfortable feeling without any real good arising . It will conio to this at last , that they must apply to tho Government to suspend tho IJank ! Act-as was dono in 18 * 7—until our supplies of tho precious ' metals aro equalized . It ia a proof of tho sound state of tho j commercial community and tho monoy doalors , that no ' KrciU r « uuro has taken place sinco tho prossuro sot in . In raria . tho systoin of universal credit has very nearly made a Kpnoi'iil banknu ) tcy , if not somcthhiB worso , Let tho head ol that country and his ontourago , who havo been the prime movers in this hu ^ o gambling concern , now tako restrictive measures—with what oll ' oct wo shall sco . Iho fall in Consols has been about 1 to 1 } por cent . AH
railway shares havo ruled low . Foreign shares ai-c also much depreciated . Tho meeting of the Great Western of Canada shareholders took placo , when several strictures were passed on tho conduct of tho Canadian directors and the agents of the Company in that country , but the meeting , on the wholo , was satisfactory , as it showed an ability on the part of tho concern to pay 10 per cent , dividend in 1 S 57 . The panic in Turkish 6 per cent , stock has continued with imdiminishod activity ; 3 and 4 per cent fall in two days has occurred , then a partial rally . Last account , at tho commencement of tho month , they closed 101 i ; in seventeen days from that time tho stock was sold at 8 Gi , a fall of 15 per cent ., but allowing for tliodividond 12 per cent ., the losses of course must have been fabulously severe . Joint-stock Banks aro quiet , no business doing . Mines are not much in demand . Money is tight , there is but little doubt , yet there is plenty of it to bo had at a price both inside the Stock Exchange and elsewhere . At four o ' clock to day our markets close a shade firmer .
