Charles Kean plays the two brothers ; and you must see him before you will believe hbwwell and how quietly he plays them ; preserving . a gentlemanly demeanour , a drawing-room manner very ^ difficult to assume on thesta / e if one may judge from its rarity , which intensifies the / passion of the part , and giveVit tfrrible reality . Nothing can be better than the way he steps forward to defend the insulted woman at that supper ; nothing can be more impressive tlian his appearance in the ^ hird act as the avenger of his brbther . The duel between him and Wigan was a masterpiece on both sides : the Bois de Boulogne itself has scarcely seen a duel more real or more exciting . Kean ' s dogged , quiet , terrible walk after Wigan , with the fragment of broken sword in his relentless grasp , I shall not forget . Nor can I forget Wigan's performance . In " makeup , " in demeanour , in look , in tone , he was perfect—the type , of a French duellist . ODDS AND ENDS . At the Olympic a new piece has been produced , called The Advocate and his Daughter , of which I will tell you next week ; prury-Lane has produced a new ballet , called The Star of the Bhine , which I will go and see when the house is warmed by something more effective than cold air , and seven men in the stalls . Miss Woolgar returned on Monday to the Adelphi , and was as fascinating as ever in Paul Pry . M ,. Biletta is
about to produce a comic opera at the Haymarket : and here ends budget . my A correspondent writes to know my reason for reading " Neinean . V » Nemean P As I am never ashamed to own myself in error , I inform \? that my reason was an erroneous one . Usuallyit isi written Kern * and this it was which misled me , as it has misled many dictioni makers . Virgil's authority , however , cited by my correspondent sett ? -the matter : — ' . ¦ ' ' . ' . wes "Tu Cressia mactas Prodigia , et vastam Nemese sub rupe leonem . " A German correspondent has taken my badinage ^ of Gervinus ' s vhra ^ " tragedy of the purest water , " as if I seriously misunderstood its mean ing . The meaning was plain , but the metaphor was infelicitous , and lent itself to a jest . Every one knew what Castlereagh meant when he said " The feature on which this question hinges , " but few admired itafelieitv ' so also when that M . P ., who deserves to be immortal for it , said , ''} smell a rat ; it ' s brewing a storm ; but I will crush it in the bud !" ' the convulsed House had no doubt respecting his meaning , whatever thev thought of his rhetoric . In like manner , although I admit a diamond of the purest water , I do not admit a tragedy of that quality . It reminds me too forcibly of Goethe ' s sarcasm , that modern poets put too much water in their ink ! Vivian .

Important Copykigiit Decision. — Mr. Cra...
Important CopYkigiit Decision . — Mr . Craig applied to Vice-Chancellor Par / ker on behalf of his client , Mr . Bogue ; the publisher , on Monday week , for an injunction to restrain Messrs . Houlston and Stoneman from publishing a book , entitled , "A Story-Book for Young People , by Aunt Mary ; the Comical History and Tragical End of Reynard the Fox , "—or any other work copied , or colourably altered , from any part of a book published by Mr . Bogue , entitled , "The Comical Creatures from Wurtemberg , including the Story of Reynard the Fox . " The mere story of Reynard the Fox was acknowledged to be an old one , and no copyright was claimed for
it , but although Mr . Bogue ' s illustrations were taken from the stuffed figures of animals exhibited in the Crystal Palace in 1851 , and which of course might have been copied . by any one , his counsel contended that in Mr . Houlston ' s book both the illustrations , and the letterpress at the foot of each figure explaining its name , were manifestly imitated from Mr . "Bogue's book . The similarity in detail was much too great for accident . The weasel in Mr , Houlston ' s book was represented as a sharp lawyer ; so he was in the original work published by Bogue : the weasel ' s interview with old Martin , the fox , was described
in precisely the same manner in both books . The same was the case with regard to the visit of the " bantam" to old Martin ; and the plagiarism was still more glaring in the story of " the frogs who would a-wooing go . " But the most conclusive piece of evidence as to Mr . Bogue ' s illustrations having been copied was that in one of the groups from the stuffed figures a shaving box was introduced , which was not in the original exhibition—but the same addition was found in Mr . Houlston ' s illustration . On Monday last the Vice-Chancellor gave his judgment , and said lie had come to the conclusion that Houlston and
Stoneman had copied their designs , as well as the names affixed to them , from Mr . Boguc ' s book . He therefore gave the defendants time to consider whether they would submit to an injunction absolutely , or whether they would prefer an action being brought against them by Mr . Bogue .

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Fjuday Mokning , Feb . 27 .

Corn Exchange. Mark-Lane, February 27-—O...
CORN EXCHANGE . Mark-Lane , February 27- —On Monday , there was only a moderate supply of English wheat , and the dry weather having improved the condition , it met a ready sale at fully previous rates . Foreign wheat was also held firmly , but the transactions were not large . The best descriptions of malting barley recovered something of the decline we reported last week , and other sorts well supported their previous value . There was a liberal supply of oats , but the demand was sufficient to prevent any decline . There was no alteration in the value of beans and peas . Floating cargoes of Egyptian wheat and beans were held firmly at the decline we noticed last week . During the week , the value of all descriptions of grain has been well maintained , without , however , any large transactions . Floating cargoes of wheat and beans have recovered the decline of last week , several sales of each having been made at Cd . over Monday ' s rates . At the principal country markets held during the week , the trade has very much corresponded with the foregoing . The stock of flour in Paris is increasing , and the value of the best qualities has declined a trifle . There is no decline in value at the French ports , though trade was dull in consequence of the accounts from Paris . Eye continues in demand for the north of Europe .
