from the prison to the sea-coast , with the Dutch fleet standing in—a change effected with all the characters remaining on the stage ? The tableau , no doubt , makes a very pretty termination ; but it is at the sacrifice of sense . It was found necessary on the first night to make an apology both for Mr . and Mrs . Diixon , who were suffering from hoarseness , but who xesolved to go on with their parts . This was courageous and praiseworthy . We did not observe much diminution of Mr . Dillon ' s powers "; but the lady evidently suffered painfully , and at times was almost inaudible . Nevertheless , she went on with immense energy , and was loudly applauded . Sir . Dillon ' s acting , as usual , had one or two striking bursts of passion ; but there was the invariable fault of over-loudness , excess of physical effort , and lack of those fine pencillings which give vitality to a part . Mr . Stuart , also , Avas more noisy than effective ; but the other characters were creditably sustained .

The Royal Bbitish : Bank . —An application to the Lords Justices of Appeal for leave to petition the House of Lords against the decision of the Lords Justices not to annul- the adjudication of bankruptcy of the Royal British Bank , has been refused , solely on the ground that an unreasonable time had been allowed to elapse . — Thursday was appointed , by adjournment , for the last examination in the Court of Bankruptcy of the directors who represent the bank under the bankruptcy .

Paul was entered on the schedule as a disputed creditor for 796 / . for money lent and paid on account of the insolvent , with a statement opposite the debt . The insolvency was attributed to the non-fulfilment of an arrangement made between the insolvent and John Paul to liquidate old debts , and to the insolvent having , out of gratitude for that and occasional assistance by advances of money ( expended principally on the education of his children ); accepted bills

Arrowsrnith has again written to the Times , saying that he made a mistake in the day ; that it was Friday , not Thursday . He adds that , if some of his fellow travellers could be brought forward to substantiate the denial , the refutation , would indeed be complete ; but he concludes with this solemn asseveration :- — " "Were I as free to meet the Judgment Day as I am in this matter , it -would le well with me .

London , Friday Evening , February 20 , 1857 . CoH 8 Oi , 8 have been about 94 . all the week . Foreign Stocks-Turkish Six per Cents , and Russian Five 3 are 1 per cent , better . ¦¦ ¦ . -. In Paris prices arc well sustained , and this reacts here , m spite of the high rate of interest . Money has loeen lent on Government securities » t 6 per cent , for short loans , and is in demand . The Bank return , it is believed , will be of & more favourable nature this week , than last . Foreign exchanges havo ruled in our favour ; the export of gola still continues , and to this well there would seem to be "no bottom . . Kail way shares are briskly in demand , particularly South Eastern , Caledonian , Brighton , and Eastern Counties . Canadian Rail
way shares have scarcely moved . The Indian railway market seems very quiet . Foreign railway shares are in demand , and particularly Lombardo-Veuetian : tho traffic returns are exceedingly good . Joint-Stock Banks have been much dealt in . Ottoman and Egypts are considerably better . The LondonGeneral Omnibus Company ' s shares are in request . One parcel of two thousand was bought this morning , and the weekly traffic returns are very satisfactory . In British mines there has been a regular but quiet business doing . Foreign mines are rather dull . Cobre Copper , St . John del Rey . and United Mexicans have been dealt in . The closing appearance of Consols is affected , doubtless , by the present political state of affairs . ShouLq Ministers dissolve to-night in case of defeat , or a victory by a few votes , aud Lord Palmerston appeal to trie country , of course such eventualities would depress Consols i . 8 . or 1 percent .
