Drury Lane And The Haymaket. The Perform...
tying . Let the directors go on as they have begun , and they will draw all London . ' ¦ „ , ' ¦ ^ -i On Saturday last the company of the Theatre © b la Gaitb appeared before a London audience at Dbctry Lane . The play they brought with them was the now famous Cosaques , which has just reached its two hundredth night of representation at Paris . This dramatic prodigy did not present itself as an absolute novelty , however , to an English audience on Saturday . Visitors to Astlby ' s saw it performed ( and very well performed too ) , in a considerably abridged translation , last year . We have now the excellent original actors , and the whole original play , an entertainment long enough to fill up the evening by itself . The great effect of Las Cosaques is a riot between the French and the Russian invaders ( the period of the play being the year 1814 ) at a cafe chantant . Fire-arms are prodigally used , chairs and tables are heaped up as barricades , a thorough battle in miniature takes place , and the Cossacks are defeated . This admirable and exciting scene was one great agent in the success of the play at Paris , and also at AstleVs . Now we have it at Dbttry Lane , with an astounding temporary addition . International feeling must be appealed to in London since the late visit , or there is no chance with a British audience . Accordingly , in the fight between the French and the Cossacks , English soldiers are actually introduced ( in the year 1814 ) as helping the French ! At Drury Lane , the soldiers of Wellington and the soldiers . of Napoleon—the Great join
: cause , fight together with the wildest enthusiasm , and fraternise in the hour of victory to the tunes of " God Save the Queen" and—" Partant pour la Syrie !!" This we conceive to be the boldest coup d ' etat ever inflicted on the drama , and it was brilliantly successful . The patriotic spectators had an excuse for getting on their legs and uttering loyal and patriotic howls , and , just now , that is exactly what audiences want when they go to the theatre . After this , of course , Les Cosaques succeeded ; and we are glad to record the success for the sake of the company . One thing only we should like to know in reference to the performance at Drdry Lane—What do the authors of the play think of the alteration that has been made in their work to adapt it to London audiences ? Having lost the Spanish Dancers—we hope only for a time—Mr . Bctckstonb now attracts the public to the Haymabket by Acber ' s Fra Diavolo , with Mr . Sims Reeves for hero . This most charming of operas is carefully and completely performed ; both band and chorus ( generally the weak points at nonoperatic theatres ) being in excellent training under the conductorship of Signor Schira . As to Mr . Sims Reeves , we need not criticise him ; we need only announce that he is to be seen and heard . Everybody knows by this time that Fra Diavolo is the best of his characters . He is to appear in . the The Bohemian Girl on Tuesday , supported , as in JF / a Diavolo , by Mrs . Sims Reeves , and by Mr . and Mrs . Weiss .

Money Market And City Intelligence. Frid...
MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evoning , April 27 , 1855 . We are very weak in our markets as rrsgani . i tho funds . Tho intelligence communicated by tho Government journal on Monday morning of tho rejection of oiir proportions by
Russia , and the gloomy accounts from Sebastopol , counterbalance the abundance of money and the low rate of discount . People begin to speak openly now that the siege is to be raised ; if so , we shall have to re-embark our forces in the face of an enemy , and perhaps have to fight a second Corunna with the rear-guard whilst the main body is embarking' . This afternoon has depressed both funds and shares again . Quotations from Paris are lower up to two o'clock , and a rumour that increasing infirmity compels Lord Panmure to give up the office and duties of Minister of War . The electric telegraph between Balaklava and London gives us information of matters in the Crimea up to a few hours back ; but the silence of the telegraph is very ominous . People argue that bad news must have arrived , and that the Ministry keeps it back , and so on . Next week , unless Sebastopol has fallen , we shall hear of the siege being raised , re-embarkation of troops , and a fall of 2 per cent . more . Austria will show herself in her true colours , and whether that will be in favour of the Western Powers remains to be seen . The fate of Sebastopol will determine that wretched power as to the future . Without the Allies she mast fall to picjees herself before another year passes . Railway shares are very dull , the same with all kinds of investments . United Mexican maintain a fair price : Santiago's nutter , owing to some disturbances in Cuba ; Crystal Palaces heavy . Consols leave off at four o ' clock , 88 J , 83 J ; Russian Fives , 9 S , 101 .

The upward movement , which commenced on Monday , has continued since , aud a fair extent of business has been done to-day at 4 s . over the prices of that day . The holders of Wheat on the spot have , many of them , withdrawn samples in expectation of still higher prices . The offers on hand , f . o . b- from abroad have been readily placed , but holders there exhibit equal firmness with our own , and now there is very little offering , and that at prices beyond tho ideas of the most sanguiuo buyers hero .
