Mr. Westland Marstofs New Play. The Play...
from the prison to the sea-coast , with the Butch fleet standing in—a change effected ¦ with all the characters remaining on the stage ? The tableau , no doubt , makes a veTy pretty termination ; but it is at the sacrifice of sense . It was found necessary on the first nigh t to make an apology botli for Mr . and Mrs . Ditr-ON , who were suffering from hoarseness , but who resolved to go on with their parts . This was courageous and praiseworthy . We did not observe much diminution of Mr . Dillon ' s powers '; but the lady evidently suffered painfully , and at times was almost inaudible . Nevertheless , she went on with immense energy , and was loudly applauded . Mr . Dillon ' s acting , as usual , had one or two striking bursts of passion ; but there-was the invariable fault of over-loudness , excess of physical effort , and lack of those fine pencillings which giTe vitality to a part . Mr . Stuart , also , was more noisy than effective ; but the other characters were creditably sustained .

Mr . Linklater applied for an adjournment , and expressed a
hope that after the decision of the Lords Justices , refusing to grant an appeal against their judgment , furtheT litigation , would end ; and he expressed his belief that before th « next meeting , in fact , in a few days , a reasonable and satisfactory compromise would be effected between the shareholders and other parties interested , so as to prevent any further harassing proceedings . Mr . Lawrence expressed the same hope and belief , and it was agreed that the meeting should be adjourned till the 30 th next April , before which time the account would be filed .

Paul was enteied on the schedule as a disputed creditor for 796 ? . for money lent and paid on account of the insolvent , with a statement opposite the debt . The insolvency was attributed to the non-fulfilment of an arrangement made between the insolvent and John Paul to liquidate old debts , and to the insolvent haviaig , out of gratitude for that and occasional assistance by advances of money ( expended principally on the education of his children ) , accepted bills
for his accommodation . —The case was adjourned sine die . The Houseless Pooe . —On Wednesday night , at ten o ' clock , the Lord Mayor , the Recorder , Mr . Under-Sheriff Anderton , and Mr .

Resolutions in favour of this object were paused .
The Georgian : Railway Romance : Once More . — "We should have supposed that this question had been finally set at rest ; but Mr . Cuyler , the president of the railway , again writes to the Times from Savannah , enclosing affidavits from several of the officials on the line , who swear that the Alleged occurrences did not take place on the day in question . —In reply to these asseverations , Mr . Arrowsmith . has again written to the Times , saying that he made a mistake in the day ; that it was Friday , not Thursday . He adds that , if some of his fellow travellers could be brought forward to substantiate the denial , the refutation would indeed be complete ; but he concludes with this solemn asseveration : — " Were 1 as free to meet the Judgment Day as I am in this matter , it would be well with me . " Mr . Henry Martley has been appointed Chief Commissioner of the Encumbered Estates Court ( Ireland ) , at a salary of 3000 ? . a year .

w London , Friday Evening , February 20 , 18 S 7 .. Consols have heen about 94 all the week . Foreign Stocks , Turkish Six per Cents , a . nd Russian Fives are I per oenfe . better . , In Paris prices aro well sustained , and this reacts hero , in spite or the high rate of interest . Money has been lent on Government securities at 6 per cent , for short loans , and is in demand . Tho Bank return , it is believed , will be of a more favourable nature this week , than last . Foreign exchanges have ruled in our favour ; tho export of gold still continues , and to this well there would seem to bo " no bottom . Railway shares are briskly in demand , particularly South . Eastern , Caledonian , Brighton , and Eastern Counties . Canadian Railway shares have scarcely moved . Tho Indian railway market seems very quiet . _ Foreign railway shares are in demand , and particularly Lombardo-Venetian : the traffic returns aro exceedingly good . Joint-Stock Banks have been much dealt in . Ottoman andEgypts are considerably better . The LondonGeneral Omnibus Company ' s shares are in request . One parcel of two thousand was bought this morning , and the weekly traffic returns are very satisfactory . In British mines there has been a regular but quiet business doing . Foreign mines are rather dull . Cobre Copper , St . John del Rey , and United Mexicans have been dealt in . The closing appearance of Consols is affected ! , doubtless , by tho present political state of affairs . Should Ministers dissolve to-night in case of defeat , or a victory by a few votes , and Lord Palmerston appeal to the country , of course such eventualities would depress Consols i , # , or 1 percent .
