A FEW THEATRICAL NOTES . It is vervunpleasant to have to record the production ^? an ^ pera , b y Hector Berlioz , at Covent Garden , without success . Benvenuto Cellini , although a failure , and an opera which had in it few elements of ^ success , is the work of a man of genius , who fails because his system is false . JL do not feel disposed to enter into a minute criticism of an opera which will never be repeated ; but a passing word may be given to the charming and original accompaniments , the prodigality of musical colouring wasted on worthless themes , and the abiding sense of perverse power which his writing displays . „ , t , -i j Eachel has concluded her most successful season . It may be a point for critics to discuss , why Rachel should this year have been more run after than on any previous occasion , for she herself has lamentably deteriorated , and her troupe is detestable beyond epithets . Not that ^ the
audiences perceive any difference ! I will do them that justice . Ahey accept actors who should never have quitted the Circus , and they applaud the worst pieces , and the worst passages of those pieces , with admirable Let me briefly point out wherein Eachel ' s acting has deteriorated . I have spoken before of her careless gabbling—of her rushing onwards to make " points , " totally indifferent as to the rest . But an attentive observation will have noted that besides this most unartistic practice , she has acquired a certain mechanicalness even in the production of the
" points" themselves . What I mean is that—to use a technical phraseher emotion becomes " business . " She does it , she does not feel it . Jjer command over the mimetic means is so great , that she can in an instant quiver as with emotion , her voice growing husky with passion . This command it is which makes her capable of tragedy . But she has learned to do it mechanically , and the consequence is her " points" are " explosions , " followed by perfect calmness . One moment she is quivering with agony , the next she is in a state of ladylike self-possession . The secondary emotions of subsiding passion she no longer represents ; and that is what
I indicate in saying she has become mechanical . But this objection , strong as it is , must not be made without the accompanying acknowledgment of her matchless grace , and the delicate beauty of much of her style . I compare her with what she was , and find her fallen off . Compare her with any one else on the stage , and this little " rod of Moses" is an enchantress ! On Tuesday , Donizetti ' s wretched opera of Maria di Rohan was repeated , and I had an opportunity of hearing the new singer , Madame Medori . She is a decided gain , and when a better opera has given her a better opportunity , one may hope to find in her qualities for a permanent
favorite . The voice is powerful , clear , resonant , and sweet , a little screamy in occasional passages , and with what I should call a certain effrontery about it , but decidedly the finest voice we have had for a long while . The event of the week , however , has been the long and anxiously expected appearance of Tamberlik in the Prophete , a part with which Mario is more thoroughly identified in the eyes of the London public than any other ; so that the excessive nervousness of Tamberlik is quite intelligible—indeed , it was so great as to deprive his marvellous voice of almost all its marvellous power ; nothing but the style and an occasional phrase remaining to remind us what a great singer was before us ! Nevertheless , in spite of Friday night , I feel confident that after one or two more performances he will make a great hit in the part . Madame Tedesco , who made her dSbut as Fides , is a stout , handsome
woman , with a pleasant face , not capable of varied expression , and a contralto voice of very great beauty in the lower register , and pleasing throughout its compass . She sings well , without forcing or attectation ; and if not the actress demanded byvthe part , little can be objected to Her 81 gathering together these hurried notes , I must not f 6 rget _ thafc on Thursday we had a new farce at the Ade lphi , for which the Camp at Chobham formed a pretext and a name . Nothing can be older than the canvass of this farce-a young lover . « circumventing ; a recalcitrant guardian , and forcing consent to his marriage with the fair ward ; but tlie comic embroidery makes one forget in laughter the antiquity of the ^ naj ....: _ l- __ j t ~ . ~ U 4-av ia litfi Tjnvft in triiim-nluno- over reasons , xou
, don't want to know why you love , nor why you laugh ; happy it youican love and laugh ! The audience laughed at Keeley as a m ^ ot drab Peace , having retired from the candlemaking business to the seclusion ot Chobham , its quiet and free air . They laughed ; at his woes , when the camp came to disturb that peace . They laughed at the ^ mdigmties put upon him by a lusty and irregular cock which wowta pertinaciously crow , and by a dashing young dragoon who forced him to black boots , make breakfast , and finally give his " consent . " Keeley was very humorous , and Leigh Murray was the most natural , most gentlemanly , and gayest of guardsmen ; so that the farce went off pleasantly , and with complete success . " ¦ '_ . „ ., ¦¦' . ' ,- » : ¦ ¦ ¦ the
Besides this farce , I have to notice the re-opemng of _ Oi ^ mpic Theatre . A new melodrame , Love and Avarice , taken from $ hBJ ? tl £ e de VAvare , in which Bouffe was so incomparable ( that drama itself being taken from Balzac ' s chefd ' ceuvre of finesse and interest , Eugenie Crrandet ) , With Henry Farren and Miss Anderton in the principal characters , has been the attraction of the week . The following letter is founded on a misconception : —¦ "Mr deAb Vivian , —In the admirable critique of Charles Kean in your last , you say , ' what character did he ever represent in more than a single aspect ?' Now here , with all due deference , and feeling the justice of your other remarks , for the undisguised truth of which the playgoing public can vouch , and they are the hest judges—I think yon are somewhat hard upon Mr . Kean , for I answer at once— ' TheCorsican Brothers . ' ¦ '¦
" There can be no doubt that when he plays ' first one man ' s part and then another ' s / both sides of the question are given ; and I feel it only to be a duty to Mr . C . Kean to correct this statement , which doubtless escaped your editorial supervision , and might easily have heen overlooked . « Who that saw him in The Corsican Brothers , even his greatest detractors , would not say that there was some genius in him , and give him credit for a powerful impersonation , or rather two clever creations , free from rant ? but then , don't go some other night and see him in Macbeth , &c , or you will have to alter your opinion , and say , so bad an actor stood not ' within the prospect of belief / " Yours ever , nay dear Vivian , " One who is aveese to the Ranting School . " My correspondent must surely remember how loud were my praises of CharleB Kean in the Corsican Brothers , and generally how his merit
as a quiet actor of gentlemanly melodrame has been recognised by me . In saying , therefore , that he never represented any character in more than a single aspect , I had not forgotten his Corsicans ; all I indicated was his inability to represent a complex character or fluctuating emotions . A fixed mood , a single aspect , he can represent—as witness the first part of his Hamlet , his Ford , and his Corsicans . It is the varying moods , the complexities of character , which baffle him . Give him the one , and he is unequalled on our stage ; give him the other , and he is the worst actor unhissed . Vivian .

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , July 1 , 1853 . Consols havo been tolerably steady during the week . Of general . business there lias been next to nothing doing . All foreign securities remain very steady . In our own heavy railway market , there has been but few bargains . The settling for the latter part of the month has been comparatively light , the differences being insignificant ; the contangos not very high . Mining shares huvo partaken of tho general dulnesa of the markets . Upper India Scrip has been in demand . French shares throughout tho week have been very steady , but this afternoon decline somewhat . It ia said that the reports from Franco not being so favourable , and Consols have declined ^ per cent , from tho same cause . It seems a very general opinion that tho vanguard of tho Itusaian army has crossed tho Pruth . Trade appears dull and stagnant ; money , from lack of favourable means of employing it , plentiful and easily obtained . In tho next account , should tho news from the Continent be more pacific , wo may hope to soo a riHo , but very gradual , after tho first re-action has taken place . Consols leave olF at 08 J f . COEN MARKET . Marie Lano , Friday , July 1 , 1853 . A groat chango has taken place in tho wheat trade since our last report . On Monday , thoro was a largo demand for cargoes of wheat arrived and on passage from the Black Sea and Mediterranean , and prices rose 2 s . to 8 « . per qr . Wheat on the spot . .. did not partake of tho improvement to tho samo extent , indeed , to not more than 1 « . per qr . Sinco Monday , tho demand for floating cargoes has continued at 1 « . to 2 < f . further advance , and wheat on tho spot is also la . to ' . denror than on that day . Holders , however , ask ho much above those prices , that very little actual businoHB has boon dono to-day . The largo purchases are Raid to havo boon mado on account of tho French Government . Tho supplies of all spring corn arc short , and i > rioes are ' fairly maintained .
