ELOPEMENTS IN HIGH LIFE . On Thursday Mr . Sullivan ' s new comedy was produced at the Haymabket , unhappily without the success which would give a cheerful impulse to the new management , "We are in Timbuctoo . I will not guarantee the geography , but I assume the country to be Timbuctoo , because my knowledge of costume forbids the notion of any other country where a leader of fashion , a |
D'Orsay upon town , could possibly attire himself as Barry Sullivan does in this comedy ! Imagine a young man of fashion dressed in a plumcoloured frock coat , grey trousers strapped over cloth boots , round his neck a sky-blue scarf , with a gigautic fall fastened by a large brooch ! And such a coat : such trousers ! such , a scarf ! Imagine a leader of ton on a morning visit lea ving his hat in the hall , taking the lady ' s hand in his gloved hand , and kissing it by way of " how d'ye do ! " This may be couleur locale in Timbuctoo , but is not , I am given to understand , a very correct representation of fashion elsewhere . We suppose ourselves , therefore , in Timbuetoo . That is not the author's fault ; but his fault is , that we have no picture of life sufficiently distinct to give his comedy " a local habitation . I am at a loss where the scenes take place . Not that I am particularly interested ; for the scenes are so undramatic my curiosity will not be aroused . I see a young gentleman in difficulties , very unscrupulous , and very anxious to marry a fortune . I see three young women all anxious to be married . I see a portentous nobleman , rather stiff in the knees ; and two club men , who may be sharpers for aught I know . But who the people are , and what they want , some keener critic must tell . The scenes change ; people talk , sometimes well enough , but seldom humorously ; they make long explanations and go away again . After five acts of this , the curtain descends , and the comedy is announced " for repetition every evening . " Mr . Sullivan—the author I mean—knows , as well as I do , that his comedy is a mistake , and very wearisome to sit out ; so that I will not analyze defects he has already noted . Let me rather praise him for the natural and charming character of " Catherine Simple , " ( very naively played by pretty Miss Louisa Howard , ) a real dramatic type , and a novelty ; let me also praise him for the unforced felicity of many passages of dialogue , and urge him to learn a lesson by this failure , and write a comedy full of life , character , and action . Little can be said of the acting , for the actors had no chance . Buckstone and Compton played two small parts , not in the least comic ; ( the " make up" of Compton was a mistake ) . Mrs . Fitzwilliam had nothing to do ; Miss Eeynolds was as agreeable as the part admitted , and Miss Howard I have already praised . Mr . Chippendale , whom I saw for the first time , brings with him a great reputation , but , unless he was paralyzed by the part , I fear no tittle of that reputation will be maintained in London . What Queen Elizabeth said of the poet Persius , I must say of Mr . Chippendale— " dry as a crabstick ! " He showed none of the qualities of a good actor . His delivery is monotonous , his face immovable , his gestures are not significant ; all the qualities of old Farren—finesse , observation , detail and elegance of manner , are wanting in Mr . Chippendale . The sentence is severe , and may be revoked on some future occasion . I shall be but too happy to revoke it , if he will give me the opportunity . There has been one other dramatic novelty this week — Phelps in Justice Shallow—of which very favourable reports reach me ; and the Strange History has been abridged from nine chapters to eight , so that Little ToddleMns can be played after it . This matter of abridgment recals to me a capital witticism : A bad poet asked Mabtial to make the necessary erasures in the verses submitted to him ; Martial read the verses and said , Una liturapotest— " erasure will suffice ! " Slingsby Laurence and Charles Mathews might think of this . Vivian .

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . I'Viday Kveiling , April N , 1853 . CoN'SinrcHAnr / K depression in English Stock securities prevailed during tlie early part oi" the week . The announcement of the proposed iinaneial policy of the Chancellor of the Exchequer caused a brisk upward movement yesterday . The heavy Kailway Slock improved in many lines £ 2 per share . Consols rose to 101 , ( o-duy they havo receded to lOOjf to y /' or the account . Spanish Securities are steady ; Mexicans still with a strong upward tendency , from the belief that Santa Anna will be inclined to seeuro order in ( hat Republic , and to do his utmost in meeting his engagements with the public creditors . It' such be the fact—there is no doubt thut we shall see Mexican Threo-per-Conts . go as high as 37 or . ' ( 8 — the maximum of last year—and oven perhaps higher . Jn Mines , Australian have been very languid throughout the week ; and there seems on ( lie part of the public a belter feeling as regards Califbrniau adventures . The loading Companies , Aqua Savin ,, Anglo California !! , and Nouve . au Monde , speak confidently of returning dividends in all ' 1853 . There lias been a good deal of speculation in the various Copper Mines that are now before the public ; , Amongst others the Metcalf Mine , in Jamaica , of which them would seem to be extraordinary good accounts , commands 11 premium of 17 < jj to IB } premium per share , and tho wildest predictions are hazarded with respect to it . According to some accounts , the Hurra Hurra will look shiall in comparison to this Mine / ioiih verrona . French Sliare « continue pretty firm—two or three new lines are about coming out . The Month Knstern of France arc * said to have been promised a concession , but it , in also added that a fusion will ultimately take place with the Turin and Chamberry lino—11 good measure for holders in both lines . Ktrasburgs , it is said , will divide 11 francs per share next Way—and the line promises moHt hopefully . There seems Home inclination to bring forward Home Alining adventures in Hpittii , but peop le , are nigh sick of Spain and everything connected with such faithless braggadocien . Consols leave offlOOJj to J .

in leaving her will leave her enchanted . You imagine Horace is in ecstacies when he hears it ? Out da ! Horace is furious ! To be left , and by her , too ! To be left , and for such a rival ! Had it been any one else he could have borne it [ . And as he thinks of her now lost to him , all his former tenderness revives . What a smile she has , what a loving frankness ! How happy he was bj her side ; how they sympathised ! And to think of all this having passed away , like a novel that has been read , and cannot be read again ¦!' ¦ .. " Ah ! I remember well , and how can I But evermore remember well , when first Our flame began ; when scarce we knew what was The flame we felt ; when , as we sat and sighed , And looked upon each other ; and conceived Not what we ailed , yet something we did ail ;—And yet were well ; and yet we were not well , And what was our disease we could not tell /' ( It is an old poefc I am quoting , one little read , now—Daniel ; and the passage is from his Hymen ' s Triumph ; might it not have been written yesterday ?) Horace remembers all this with painful distinctness , and is furious to think what the end has been ; he would move heaven and earth to get her back , now that he has lost her . So , many things , besides love , are only precious when unattainable ! It is an instinct of this which makes women coquettish . The foregoing has , I dare say , irritated the impatient reader , who never toitt understand the subtle art of criticism , but always demands a plain , straightforward account of what a dramatic work is " all about , " and is satisfied if told , " The plot is as follows : The Chevalier ( M . Lafont ) has for some years been the lover of The Countess ( Mdlle . Page ) , who now , " &c , &e . This sorfc of critical inventory is beyond my powers . I endeavour to place the subject before you in another manner , and only apply to the plot when necessary . Be pleased to understand , therefore , that in the foregoing bit of metaphysics you have read the subject of a pretty little comedy , Les ^ Extremes se Touchent , played , on Monday , by Lafont and J \ £ dlle . Page . Observe , the subject , not the plot ; for the piece is somewhat more superficial than the subject would lead you to expect . Mdlle . Page , our new *" ' star , " is unlike all who have gone before her , and plays with a delicacy of expression , and an elegance of " deportment , " which pleasantly supply the place of depth and gaiety : having only seen her in two pieces , of which the tedious impossibility , IS Image , was one , I reserve judgment on her powers as an actress . This much , however , one can say of her , that she is elegant and charming ; two qualities rare enough to be made much of .
