¦ ' W , ¦ . : ¦ Xohdoii , Friday Evening , May , 16 , 1856 . The bidding for the now Loan of five millions will take place on Monday . The only capitalist at present , who has opened a list for subscribers , is M . do Rothschild ; and the " bulls" seem inclined to keep the Funds very buoyant , and enable tho Chancellor to make good terms . Tho scarcity of money in tho Stock Exchange is notable , at this present time , Ci and 7 per cent , being Riven . Outside the Stock Exchange , in Mincing Lane and elsewhere , there are symptoms of increasing easiness , and boforo long the Discount houses will bo obliged to take off tho " screw ? ' Tho settling of tho account occupied the attention of the House during the earlier part of tho week . That once over , all shares roso in sympathy with Consols . Belgian Lines remain flat . Sambro aud Meuso and Luxembourgs do not recover from their late depression . Amongst tho new undertakings , the Lombardo-Venetian and Riga llailways seem in favour . Mexican stock has boon also dealt in considerably this last day or two . In the hoavy sharo market , Leeds and Midlands and Birmingham continue in favour . Dovers and Caledonians , York aud North Borwicks , and Groat Northerns are also very firm . Joint Stook Banks hang flro—heavy calls on tho shares and the multiplicity of these undertakings aro the causos . A now Bank has lately b ^ on mentioned—tho Bank of Switzerland—tho shares of which seem inclined to bo sought after . Great Western of Caiiada shares and Government Bonds are very good . Tho Grand Trunk of Canada are 1 */ . to 2 . 1 . per sharo bettor since tho sottling . In Minus there is but little doing , a few of the Gold Mining American shares are asked after occasionally . Tin Mining shares are very popular , an anticipated riso in tho price of tin being tho " cause . Tho stato of tho Bank returns this week is aiiiU to bo satisfactory .

¦ ' . ¦ ¦¦ " [ : ¦ ' ¦ ' " KETJXIBUTION . " Qbcti is the rathe * taelodratnatic title of a drama , based on a French novel , Vhich was produced on Monday night at the Oi / tbific . The hero of this piece 3 a ^ certain M . de'Morriac , ( performed by Mr . Wig an ) , who appears until the ^ hd under the aSsntned name of Count Priuli , an Italian for the nonce , though , in fact , a Frenchman . He has been a sailor , and , during his absence , his wife has fallen -under the seductions of Oscar de BeccGpre , a Parisian rouL Returning suddenly to * France , Be . Mornac finds his wife dying in her dishonour , and , discovering trno the seducer is by a miniature , he devotes the rest of his darkened life to A plan of vengeance of the most consummate devilishness . He resolves to introduce himself to De Beauprtf , to simulate friendship , to warp the affections of fcis wife , to ciestroy her honour . aB that of his own wife was destroyed by De Beaupre , rind thento challenge hisenemy , and wipe out his wrongs in blood . Byeslimiting io Madame de Beaupre the faithlessness of her husband , who is now niaking love to another married woman , he lures her into the deadly vortex of fcls ihteWbn- ^ lures her as the snake lures the bird , though she fears and ^ reifrbies at Him ; arid finally slip is in his power . But his youthful brother >{ Victor-de Morkacy has accidentally discovered him at Paris ; learns from liim lite tihrelenting design-,, and ^ though promising to respect his incognito ,
endeavours" £ 6 ^ ave MadamT ^ Beaupre . F . or . he , top , loves her , though -wTth purity and a kind of worsfii ' pl '^ He / warns her' against'IVfbS / whb "is not what he nemns ;'? and , quarrelling purpoaelj with ~ De Beaiipreyyfhto laugltt at hWfor his youthfulness , challenges him , fights , and is mortally Wouttded " . Der \ tedvpre , not knowing where td take the youth , asks Priuli to adnrithim to his housfe . This is done ; and the climax approaohels . PrivHavowa hirtfself ; 8 hdw » toi ? cBeoiy > r % ia miniature ofihis wife , as aprobf thftt ; 8 ho ;^ hasTaHen ';'* 'andgda ^' liiim ' t 6 tlie- 'fib ^ il issue . It is not long before swords arte crossed in fierce , atitagonistn ; n 6 t long before De Beaupre' falls' with a death-wound through-him . His wife is atr that moment concealed in the house ; and , rushing into thd roomj she implores PrhtK ¦ % <» assure the dying man that , though temptedy she has notyielded . It is giving tip half his revenge to do so ; but , recollecting that his brother has . died to save the lady's name by removing the object of PrUdi ' s , t-evenge , he consents . And the curtain falls on a tableau of death , misery , and remorse . ( . . ; „ .. ,.., ¦ ; It will be seen that here are the elements of ^ yery " effective" drama . And effective it is , but by means of elements , t ]» at have , of late sprung up into unhealthy rahkness . We have surely had tiqb much of this ghastly sportnag with all the domesticities — this east-wind blight spreading over the branches of the social tree ; as if there were no virtues higher than elegant adultery , or seduction for some misconception of " honour . " The whole story df this drama of Retribution moves tinder a shadow of distorted passions , made more oppressive by the glare and glitter of a corrupt drawing-room " civilization . " We do not speak from any petty Exeter Hall point of view ^ but , when the stage shows us little else than selfishness and wild passion on the one hand , cold , subtle , enake-like cruelty on the other , and a general spattering of blood in the midst of a false gaiety , it is clear that the affections are no gainers by the exhibition . We are also sorry to see that , while it is so difficult to find a market for original productions , a play deduced from a French novel , with a concluding scene which is that of the Corsican Brothers over again , should meet with the managerial favour . But the drama is very powerfully as well as elegantly written ; and the acting of Mr . Wigan is consummate . The dark , rrioody man , slowly coiling with a quiet deadliness round his victims , breaking out into passionate grief when detailing his wrongs to his brother , and at times melting and trembling into tenderness when he thinks of the youth who loves him and longs to save him from his own act—this is wonderfully represented . Miss Herbert—with a few drawbacks as regards peculiarities of intonation—acted the wretched victim with a real appreciation of nature : her gradual lapsing and sliding into the dreadful fascination that is upon her , was very striking . Mr . Geokqe Vining ( who performed De Beaupre ) has plenty of spirits for such a part , but he wants gentility , and is too much of a Cockney in his accentuation . Mr . Ejtert had a slight part , with a little humour in it ; and was rough and genuine as usual .
