now holds ; the many applauding things which made " the judicious grieve . " Since then I had not seen his Richard . Played it he has , but it was my privilege not to see him , a privilege I clung to as a right : " Else wherefore breathe I in a Christian land ? " Seventeen years is a long period , and on Monday night I was astonished at the improvement seventeen years ot hard practice had effected with such hopeless materials . He played quietly , at first , and for him transcendently . I really thought it was going to be his best Shakspearian part . He had renounced the stampings , pauses , and splattering bursts of the juvenile Richard ; and if he manifested his abidin g fault—that minute and detailed misconception' of the meaning of the phrase ! he has to utter—it was to be set down to the general wan $ of intelligence exhibited in his acting , and not to any particular fault of his Richard . His performance was broad , quiet , and effective . It had not the wondrous play of light and shade , of tone , manner , and gesture , with whi p h his father indelibly impressed all who saw him . It had great , and quite ludicrous faults , if tested by any delicate criticism ; but the sum total was , as I said , broad and effective ; especially to those who did not' ask why bursts of triumphant gratulation , such as " Was ever woman in such humour wooed , was ever woman in such humour won , " were roared out as if Richard were in a passion with all womankind ! With the violence of the fourth act all praise to his performance ceases until we reach the fight at the close of the fifth , a really good fight , desperate , and effective . But for the rest , such vehemence ' misplaced , such emphasis at random , such loudness without passion , and melancholy quiet without . cause , belongs to the style Hamlet reprobates . Might I be permitted to ask why Richard is to strike those wild attitudes , and shout * ' i ? rwrrrichard * s himself again 1 "
when he really seems not himself , but quite beside himself ? On the other hand , does he ask the simple business question , " Is my beaver earner than it was , And all my amour laid into my tent ? in tones of drawling melancholy ? I might go on for an hour asking questions of this kind , for Charles Kean ' s acting is full of these absurdities . But if you see him ( don't ) , you will ask those questions for yourself . From the foregoing ^ you gather that I do not highly estimate Charles Kean's Richard ; but if—instead of comparing it with sense and nature—I compare it with the performance of G . V . Brooke on Wednesday , I must pronounce it great . It was effective ; in some parts very effective . Brooke was less loud , because his voice is in ruins ; but he was quite as vehement * and quite as random with the meanings .. There were details in which he was superior to Kean , but he was not equal to him in any one scene . He has a fine presence and graceful gesture ; Kean is ungainly and undignified . Both ranted—but Kean's superior vigour allowed him to rant superbly , whereas Brooke ' s voice was gone , and he could not thunder as he used ; so that , considering the two performances physically ( yon remember Power ' s reply to Charles Kean ?) , the one was triumphant , the other a failure ! % I dare say my criticism will sound harsh to ears accustomed to the honeyed smoothness with which criticism now-a-days expresses itself ; but what is said is said deliberately , " weighing the words before I give them breath , " and , as usual , I am prepared for its verification or rejection "fey every reader who has seen or may see the performances . . Vivxak . P . S . By way of postscript , i t may be added that Plot and Passion mtjH t& revived at the Olympic on Monday—that theatre having already recovered its public , scared by the disastrous Lovehck—and the Serious Family was been revived with success at the Araurai . . . . , -.

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , February 24 , 1854 . Consols maintain a firm aspect in the absence of any particular news . The actual embarcation of troops , and the active preparations for war seem to have no effect upon the funds . Russian Fives are below par , and with the certain prospect of a still lower quotation should the Czar persist In his insane obstinacy . As I said last week , the English funds will not go muchv lower until the first cannon-shot is fired in . anger . I cannot but believe that such an event must bring in sellers , and not merely speculators . The French Loan was expected to have had a lowering effect , but it has passed off quietly enough . Money is very easy on tne Stock Exchange , and although very little business is doing , either in railway or other shares , the war is confidently looked upon as likely to be Bhortand decisive , and successful . Perhaps the excessive complication of the state

COKIfr MARKET . Mark Lane , Friday Evening , Feb . 24 . Local Tba . de . — "We continue well supplied with "Wheat Flour , and Barley , but the supplies of Oats are only moderate . There is no alteration wnatoYer in-the value of any article . Die full prices of Monday are paid for Wheat ; Barley and Oats are dull sale ! Floatj . bg Tbade . —Ve have to report 74 arrivals since this day week . Of these many were sold before arrival . There remain for sale about 15 of the principal . . The trade has been xouch firmer this week than for some time previously , and the uncertainty as to what further fall in prices was to be feared seems to be -giving place to a feeling of confidence in present prices being at least maintained . It is of course impossible to foresee the course of- the trade for long together , but judging , from all we can learn it appears at the present moment not unlikely that we shall have a gradually increasing demand , from this time forward up
to next harvest , with temporary seasons of dulness . We have made strict inquiries from most districts , and find no , reason to doubt that the opinion we expressed in our last as to stocks throughout the country , is substantially correct , "We do not believe that the stocks at present in the country or now on the way here , will be sufficient to meet our wants till next October . At the same time present rates are high enough to secure liberal supplies from all corn growing countries unaffected by the now certain war . From Ireland we have rather improved accounts , but the sales complained of at Cork continue to be made at prices below those , cost , freight and insurance , and cause great dullness , there for the tune . Home grown produce is , however , dearer . The Scotch markets are better , aa well as the country markets throughout England . From France and Belgium we have also rather ' better reports , without however any actual rise iu prices . '
