' _ . : ¦ ' . ¦ ¦ ' , ; . A- NICE FIKM . ;¦/¦ ¦ ¦ At the Lyceum we have had a . picture of legal life , drawn witl ^ an attention to reality rarely witnessed ; on the ^ stage , and drawn with , a skill which puzzles one to account for its success not being greajter'tlian it was . . Here is a comedy in one act , well written ; admirably and ingeniously constructed , full of character , never runnin g into exaggeration , never dawdling into dulriess , played ¦¦ to perfection , arid yjsf ; not b ^ any means so successful as many a piece unworthy to be mentioned in the same breath . Why , with aUtfiese elements of durable success , was the success so much Deneath -desert ? Why was the piece more admired than laughed at ? This is a nut for critics to crack . I have puzzled , over it , tried my molars on it , and am not sure that I have got at the kernel yet . The subject is an ill-regulated attdrney ' s ofBce . Two solicitors , Moon and 3 fesszter , present two types of bad management ; one is slow , formal , oblivious ^ pottering , twaddling , moony ; the other is rapid , reckless , confidentj messy . One * forgets , the other does riot wait to remember . One mislays documents , the other acts upon his own hasty guesses . Were it not for a cool managing clerk the business Would instantly fall into ruin : as it is , the business only falls into confusion . You see at once the idea ia fertile : Tom Taylor makes it only top fertile : in his hands it is illustrated with such abundant , truthful , and minute detail , that the whole pictures comes out like a daguerreotype . I do not indicate the imbroglio of incident and character through which the piece moves with amazing ¦ mgeriuity arid clearness , for I do not want to take the edge off curiosity ; but enough has been said , to indicate the nature of the dramatic idea presented ; and enough , perhaps , to render intelligible the following remarks . ' A Mice Firm is anoriginal idea worked out with ^ felicity , but worked out in a style more suited to the novel than the drama . It is like one of Balzac ' s stories in its exhaustivedetails—all of them necessary for the complete exhibition of the idea ; but individually too minute and familiar to be of great interest . This , as I take it ^ is the Trpcarov -tyevbos , ; the original sin of the piece . In the drama , details should be few and striking , rather than abundant and trivial : We do not , as in a novel , care to fonotf the author in his building up of a large work out of minute materials ^ Effects slionldbe distributedin masses ; asindeed is implied in . the very _ fact of
representing in an hour or two the events and feelings of a large episode of life . Tom Taylor ' s effects are seldom broad enoug h , droll enough , to amuse in themselves while illustrating Ms idea ; hence it is that although , we see what he is doing , and admire its truth , we are not so much amused as we should have been in reading a story so worked out . : In this res £ ect I look upon The Nice Firm as a dramatic lesson ; I do not think the Times has pointed out the main source of weakness in alluding to the technical nature of the subject and the jokes ; that may have had something to do with it , but the real error lies deeper 1 think , and it is one which deserves study , for surely the paradox is unpleasant when a piece like this , of which every one must speak in admiration , does not amuse so much as others every way its inferiors ! The acting was excellent . Especially is Frank Matthews to be commended for his unexaggerated portrait of the moony old solicitor—a real bit of acting . Charles Mathews began in his charming , easy , natural style , promising great things ; but the part falls off as the piece advances , and expectation gradually subsides . Baker , always truthful , played a little bit of character . Roxby , Williams , and Mrs . Frank Matthews were also good in their several parts ' .

: heavy losers , unless some very disastrous continental dilemma should arise . Large purchases haye been made for Trust Funds in Chancery , and the aspect of English railways , with their enor-, mous debts and liabilities , is doubtless driving many people to ' get rid of their . shares , and purchase Three per Cents , at . this present low figure ; and it must also be taken' into eonsider ' ation that Europe is in a state of smoulder that may burst into a flame at anyi moment . Hence prudent foreign capitalists may be huyiflg largely into our funds , The sales , therefore , of Consols arei perhaps mostly speculative , while the purchases are real and bona fide . Railway Shares have been very sparely dealt in , and the bi-monthl y settling on the 15 th was very easily got over . Of Foreign Railways the same may be said- —a slight depression has occurred within the last two days , owing to a threatened rise in the rate of discount by the " R <»» J = of Vianicc . Xiic ' orettt ¦ Imxombttrg r lino has commanded some attention , owing to a report of a favourable arrangement being onward with the Strasburg line . Mines have been somewhat brisker this . week . The . unlucky Mctcalf Jamaica Copper Mine has received very unfavourable intelligence , and command but -J- premium per 6 hare , at one time having been puifed to £ 18 per share . The Aqua Frios and Nouveau Monde still promise great returns . West IHariporas have met with , attention , one of the managers' having-, it is said , arrived with 700 or 800 ounces of gold . Waller shares have also been enquired after . Australian mines have been dormant , nothing doing in them . 'Australian Agriculturam have advanced some , i £ 4 i per ' Hharo . The supposition is , that favourable news has been received . But the great business of the week has been in the Consol market and Foreign Securities . There its but little doing in Ruasian , the greater number of liolders of this Stoolc' are in . Holland , and there the fluctuations are more marked , and of greater extent . Spanitih Three per Cents , have been dealt in ooniewbat , and Peruvians . The markets clowo 3 30 , as per list .

A PRETTY PIECE OP BUSINESS . NoTmijra can be more unlike ANice Firmthan . A Pretty Piece of Business ? one is all truth , the other all farce— -one is new , the other as old as farce ; one extorts admiration , the other laughter . A Pretty Piece of Business has no other object than that , of raising laughter , and it raises shouts . Buckstone , as the bashful M . D ., intensely admiring the impudence of Howe , is worth going miles to see . ! For a long while this very droll actor has been ( although a manager ) playing the most ungrateful parts ; at last he has got a bit of character in his hands , and it is a treat to see what he makes of it . George Vandenhoff is decidedly " making a stand" at the HayMarket 1 . His Claude Melnotte fully justifies our hopes of him as a valuable acquisition in serious comedy and tlie " young tragedy" parts . On Thursday a little opera by Edward JFitzwilliam was produced , with success . I was unable to go , but next week I will see it and report . Vivian .
