MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Satukday MoRNiira , March 6 . Tho vague professions of political faith that the newininifltors have thus far put forth , are already beginning to excite in tho commercial world an anxious and uneiiay feeling , wliich , unlosn speedily allayed , throatens to exorcise an unfavourable influence upon all the more important branches of trade . Meanwhile , tho Funds aro not only well supported , but evince a decided upward tendency , and the partisans of tho ministry , of course , point triumphantly to this fact as a proof that public opinion is in their iavour . A moro fallacious test could not at tho present moment bo found , for such is tho plethora of monoy , and ho low ( ho means of omploying it safoly and remuneratively , that tho Funds nro almost tho only and inevitable resource ¦ - ~ honoo thoiv buoyancy ; and tho political barometer may lor ( ho timo bo consulted to much moro purposo in Mincing 1 'iino than on tho Stock Exohango , where , too heavy a counterp oise chocknits ordinary fluctuations . < Consols opened on Monday at 97 fr to £ , and under tho nil ! of J ' K ° purchases advanced during tho wook to » 7 g , closing ypstorday at 0 7 * ^ .

THE MARIONETTES . Greatly have these puppets improved since my last visit . They walk with a majesty quite surprising , and altogether seem " at home onthe stage , " like many other sticks I could name . The new piece , Foil Practice , is a pitiable attempt at political satire . In the first place , the satirist should learn that no shaft is dangerous merely because it flies from a " twangino * bow . " unless it hit the mark , of what avail is it ? The corruption of electors is surely a mark large enough even for the most bungling to hit—yet Hugo Vamp shoots wide I Secondly , although one may envy the puppets their unlicensed stage , which permits them free political allusion , there is the general licence of common sense _ and taste , which sternly prohibits the miserable doggrel and gasping efforts at wit of such things as Poll Practice . This rubbish put me in an ill-humour with the puppets , wnicli it required all their gentillesse to dissipate . Mr . Simpson is hereby entreated to abstain from satirical pieces , unless he can cajole real satirists to write them . The house was well filled , and the audience seemed to enjoy the performance . Indeed , the success of these puppets is decided . 1 ViviAir .

FAREWELL , DEJAZET . She has left us * the brilliant , the witty , the incomparable ! Gone from our loving applause $ o her own Vaudeville public , and we shall see her no more this year ¦! . A trail of glory she has left behind her , and that crisp quick laugh will ring in our ears for some time yet . Her last week showed that the attraction of her name had increased . Two new pieces , Caesar et Napoleon , and La Douairiere de Briovne , were produced , only the latter of which could I find time to see . O Time ! Time ! JSdax Berum—eater of so many things ! .... But , at any rate , I did see La Douairiere , and a gay , pleasant little pieco it was—a fact of which you would have no conception , if you had only seen its mangled image , Grandmother Grizzle . As Dejazet i 3 fled , and no one but Dejazet could be tolerated in the part , I don't know that there is any use in telling you " all about" this piece which you cannot see ; and yet , on second thoughts , remembering how a gustative sympathy reads , with water in the mouth , the minute description of a banquet which has taken place , I may as well say something of the piece you cannot see . " Quoi ! maman , " exclaims the open eyed child , in Beranger , to her ' garrulous grandam , whose tongue is loosened by the wine which brings back memories to her brain— " Quoi ! maman , vous n'Stiez pas sage !" You—the model of severe virtue and starched propriety ! You — tho terror of all giddy girls , the abomination of young men ! You—lean , old , savagely virtuous , never relaxing , never laughing ; to whom love seems
sin , enjoyment debauchery , mirth frivolity ; whose pale and ^ withered hand seems as if it had never clasped anything but a prayer-book ; whose filmy eye looks upon this life as if its joys were all fleejfcing like stuntner shadows , its pains alone abiding ; You , too , once were young f W& ** surprise ! That lean rigidity is the urn in which are contained the asttes of a life once ebullient , once eager , once loving ! That pale and withered hand furtively sought the pressure of another ' s ; those dull , sad eyes were drooping- beneath the weight of more than they . could express ; the pulses were quick , the heart was full , ahd " Earth was fair to see , " and beauty and youth burst forth in their eternal hymn of Love , whicili seemed eternal ! Quoi ! maman , vous n'&iez pas sage ! Is . it you , in ; whose presence my heart scarcely dares to beat , that I hear singing —• Combien je regrette Mon bras si dodu , Ma jambe bien faite Et le temps perdu ! It is even so . The old Dowager de Brionne , who would not suffetf a cork to be drawn in her house , who banished love , who banished laughter , who preached abstinence in everything but prayers , a glass of wine opens the floodgates of pent-up memories , and she astounds her grand-daughter and others by the revelations of her ancient gallantries . Dejazet , as the frumpish old dowager , was diabolically virtuous , and set the person most vividly Before . U 3 . Very noticeable was the finesse of her changing expressions as the wine took its effect , and the gaillarde re-appeared ; and the audience were amazed to see Dejazet one instant the old woman , and the next transformed into the freshest and youngest of boys , bounding from the eeole de marine . Bat of what use is it recurring to her performance—she is gone , and I am left to sing—Combien . je regrette Son bras si ( peu ) dodu , Sa jambe bien faite Et mon plaisir perdu ! But , after ail , il y a compensation , as that amiable , but not very wise philosopher , M . Azais , would say . If Fretillon departs , Buy Bias arrives j if sparkling Vaudeville , with its facile laugh , has quitted St . James ' sstreet , its place is taken by sombre Drame , with its agonies and terrors ; if Dejazet has left us , Frederic is here!—Frederic , leroi du drame , the greatest artist melodrama has ever seen—Frederic ,-rightly called Lemaitre , has brouo-ht over with Mm a repertoire of tears and laughter , terrors ana excitements , such as will shake the nerves of the fashionable audiences into something like forgetfulness of their own impassible existence .

WORK , NOT WAIT . " Wait a little longer . "—Street Song . Full long the promise has gone forth , Of better times and brighter days , When honour shall attend on worth , And meet reward on honest ways . The Peoples have been told to wait Until this golden age appears . To wait ! Why , that has been their fat © For some six thousand years . To wait is good > to wait is brave ; To Wait , it is the hero ' s part : But waiting never freed one slave , Nor healed a single wounded heart . O Poet , write thou Work for Wait , In humble faith and active deed : The Worker is the lord of fate ; The Man who waits still fails ' at need . George Hooper .
