      THEATRES , &c . Time aiix Dames ! Before commencing the critique on the week ' s performances I am not going to write , I have to answer a fair correspondent , who , under the signature of "Arabella" ( which my natural sagacity at once pronounced to be an assumed name ) first complains that I have neglected the Theatres of late 5 and next asks me a delicate question touching ft certain process of heightening the female beauty . . - - , On the complimentary charge of having teen neglectful , my reply is two-fold . There has been nothing doing at the Theatres which demanded critical attention , unless you consider Brooke at Drury Lane , and Miss Cushman at the HairnetfiiK —bothplayingoldand wellknownparts—ought to have coerced a critic to rub hfo opera-glass , and rub up Aristotle . You may consider that debntological . Privately , I differ from you . But , at any rate , I have had my reason ? for staying away , which the reader—especially the female reader—would acknow ledge as sufficient . Next weok , indeed , there will be novelties . To-night the Baymarket produces a comedy ; on Monday , the Olympic , a legendary drama . I have been readipg Longinus and Mr . Blair in anticipation . - 3 ' , - . The postscript question put by , " Arabella" h ^ the following : —Ob it true that women stand over the fumes of charcoal to make their eyes more ; bright ? "Arabella doubts it , but has heard it gravely stated ; Vivian has not heard it stated , but he gravely doubts . Opium gives an unusual distension to the pupil < of the eye ; but the effect is not permanent , and after repeating that dangertius t expe | inxent a few times the effect ceases altogether . Kouge gives Justre ^ tlie eye ^ - but unhappily rouge itself is discernible , and its moral effect on the beholder iB dangerous . I know but of two safe , certain , wholesome methods of iticrej ( sin ^ the lustrous splendour of the eye : —the first is active zeroise—the second is to look into the eyea of one truly loved , and let the soul flash ? incommunisabie meanings into the soul of some " wretch" like :....

      Parliament seems to have lost the little pluck that was left in it , daring not to question our autocrats . It is not unlikely that our first real blow will . come from the Black Sea , and tumble tho funds down headlong . The last weiek it was South Sea versus ZBlack " Sea i tiiit is , investinenta having taken place on tli « part of the South Sea Compxny , these had the effect of haloing up the market against tlie possible warlike news from the Euxine . It is very certain , that with the prospect of such a serious war as we are about to engage : in . 85 ought to bo nearer ! the price ; cf Consols than 12 . Except in Consols but few transactions have taken place . Frencn shajes have been very heavy throughout the week ; Great "Westerns have fallen 30 s . per share owing to some unfavourable financial reports ; London and North Western , the . conso > ls of the railways , promises to divide five per cent , and carry over 85 , o 00 Z . Mining shares , particularly foreign , have not "been much inquired alter—Agua Frias maintain a good premium ; Land companies , Australian Agricultural , South Australian l ^ orth British Australasian , &o ., rather weaker , the same with . Australian banks . Russian Five per CeUts . have been quoted 103 , 105 . If any eaergetic military and naval preparations or movements should occur this coming week-we shall ; see ' . Consols ; totter , butthe great fall will be delayed as long as possible—perhaps until our " old house at home , " otherwise tbo aew Stock Exchange , a beautiful building , bo opened , wTiioh is expected to take place early in March . Consols are considerably flatter this afternoon , and closed at 91 i , f , having fceen as good as 92 i , i at oa « period of to-day . ¦
