evolutions , embark for Constantinople to assist the noble Lord . The next scene is in Proud Turkee , where it is found This Turk' ( Mr . Taul Bedford ) is thrown into a state of alarm by the arrival of Caesar de Byzantium ( Mr . Selby ) , who is , however , pacified by This Turk' consenting to give him in marriage ' the fair Sophia' ( Miss Keeley ) . Attliis juncture Lord Bateman ( Miss Woolgar ) and John Thomas , the ' Proud Young Porter' ( Mrs . KeelejO , having been caught prying into ' This Turk ' s' harerp , are brought on , when the fair Sopliia's attachment to the noble Lord is discovered . After undergoing the miseries and delights of a Turkish * quod , ' the noble Lord and his attendant , John Thomas , after an affecting : parting with the fair Sophia and her maid Fattyma , are , by the aid of the allied Powers , shipped for England , fart the second of the adventures is occupied by the perils and escape of the fair Sophia from Caesar de Byzantium , and her marriage with the noble Lord . The piece was exceedingly well got up , and the acting throughout was excellent ; and tlie audience testified their approbation in a manner that left no doubt as to its success . " THE PRINCESS'S . The new " magical drama" of Faust and Marguerite , owing to the great preparations required , was not ready till Wednesday evening . We are told that k < the incidents are taken from Gothe ' s immortal poem , but these are arranged after such a new fashion , that , although no single situation is exactly original , the whole leaves an impression very different from that of the German work . " " The plot" ( further observes the Times ) u is an instance of French ingenuity employed on the task of transforming the most undramatic drama in the world into a compact effective melodrama . The poetry and philosophy of the original are dismissed at one fell swoop , and nothing is left but such practical dialogue as may serve to connect the ' effects' of the piece . As this total absence of poetry may awaken an uneasy sensation in the mind of the spectator who goes to" see Faust and Marguerite primed with strong doses ofGothe , we would advise aa deep an oblivion as possible of the original German text ; for it would

This is the asceut of Marguerite , borne by angels to the regions of bliss , while the cathedral slowly sinks in tho foreground . The group is after a well-known picture of St . Catherine , and seldom has a theatrical effect excited so much admiration and astonishment . The admiration is bestowed on the beauty of the group , which is wondrously heightened by an effective distribution of light ; the astonishment is produced by the mysterious manner in which the figures ascend . Neither rope , nor bar , nor wire is visible , but , like the figures in the hut Christmas piece at the Lyceum , Marguerite and her companions sail through empty space by means unknown to the uninitiated into modern stage contrivances . " THE OLYMPIC , Like the I / yceum , relied on old favourites , and a new , or as old as new come * dietta , instead of a fairy piece .

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , April 21 , 1864 . Thx settling of the Consols Account came off on Tuesday , and the results show the existence of Bear speculations to the amount of four millions aud a half in the Three per Cent . Consols , and of three-quarters of a million of the Three and-a-Quarter per Cent . Stock . In some instances stock had to be borrowed at the rate of 5 to 6 per cent , per month . A decided success in the Baltic , or any fresh terms proposed by the Czar , or any accident happening to the aforesaid gentleman , would probably bring in bond fide purchasers from the public , and the Bear losses would be immense . But this , after all , is a chance against them . On their side they have the daily expenditure , which amounts annually to fifteen millions , tlie coming "deficiency at the Bank , and the uncertain appearance of matters on the Continent , combined with tho shifty , irresolute conduct of our Ministry at home . If one is to be guided bv reason and sound deductions , the Bears are right—the chances are in favour of the Bulls , and nothing else . Since the settling of the account , Consols rose sotnowhat , bu , t to-day have been weak and very languid . Shares are a little natter , but little dealing in them . Ir Mines , Metcalfes and Port Royals have risen ,, owing to more cheering accounts . Pqltlmores are buyers at k premium this afternoon . Motiey is not quite as easy as last week . It is not improbable that some expected failures in Paris are having their effect on the markets generally . Consols olose at 87 f 87 £ .

CORN MARKET . Mark Lane , Friday Evening , April 21 . Local Tbadx . —We have fair supplies of Wheat and Barley since Monday and large of Oats . Wheat is held firmly ; and a moderate trade is doing at Monday ' s rates . Barley without alteration . Oats , notwithstanding the large arrivals , are Sd . dearer , with a good demand : Frbb onBoakd . —Little or no alteration has taken place in the value of Wheat at the Northern ports since our last . The dry weather is general over the Continent , and though we doubt if any injury is yet actually suffered , fears are everywhere felt or the consequences should it continue much longer . The prices of Wheat continue relatively lower at the Baltic ports than with us , and there is little doubt they must continue so till the stocks are nearly exliausud , as merchants will not run the risk pf importation in time of war ' without , more than ordinary inducement . At the same time the facilities given by the Governments of France and England , beyond what were enjoyed by merchants during previous wars , will diminish the risk , and to the same extent encourage importation . The last accounts from New York were dull , though the stock of Wheat was very limited . Freights have declined , and as a large number of vessels had arrived which were not wanted for Australia or California , they were expected to load for England . . White Genessee "Wheat was quoted 76 s . 6 d . per 480 lbs ., white Western 67 s . 10 d ., red "Western 80 s . lOd . per 480 lbs ., Baltimore Barrels 34 s . 6 d ., all free on board . - - FtoATiso Trade . —Since last week , ninety cargoes of Wheat , and tenjof . Maize have arrived off the coast for orders . Notwithstanding the firmness of the trade for Wheat on the spot , the steady demand from the country , and the continued proofs of short stocks in the hands of the farmers , there has beau very little disposition manifested to purchase cargoes either arrived or on passage , and very few sales have been made during the week . Holders ask full prices and appear in general resolved to consign to this or other markets , rather than make much concession in prices . Still , we dare say , some will be found willing to yield rather than send tlieir Grain to granary , and if so we think our friends would do well to take advantage of the opportunity . We do not anticipate extravagantly hirh prices , but , cut off as we shall shortly be from the Bl&ok and AzofT Seas , we cannot think that anything below present rates can be unsafe .
