w THE JERROLD PERFORMANCES . Mk . Wilkie Collins ' s refined and poetical drama of The Frozen Beep—a drama as remarkable for the purity of its tone as for its power over the laughter , the tears , and the interest of the audience—was acted last Saturday , for the first time before the general public , at the Gai ^ ery op Illustration , Regentstreet , Avhere Mr . Dickens and his company of amateurs repeated , 'in remembrance of the late DotrctAS Jebkold , ' the performances which gave
so much de light to a large circle of friends last winter at Tavistoek House In tbe Leader of January 10 th , we ~~ entered fully into the character of this play , and into the consummate manner in which "it JJwas acted ; and , as the performers are still the same , with but two exceptions , we may at present confine our observations toa small space . In lieu of Mrs ; AV ill s m the part of the old Scotch nurse , we now have a Mrs . Francis , who continues the charm of the former lady ' s acting ; and , instead of the bluff , salt-sea
manliness of Mr , j Edwaed Hogabth , in the part of Bateson , one of the Sea Mew ' s people , the equally broad and sailor-like bearing of Mr , Shirley Brooks is substituted . The Prologue , moreover , is now read by Mr . Dickens ( its author ) , instead of by Mr . Fohster . The performance was most successful , and gave the audience a new flavour in theatricals , the acting of all concerned—but more especially of Mr . Dickens and the young ladies—being of ji nature not commonly seen . The drama , followed by a farce , will be repeated to-night and next Saturday , with the same benevolent view . We append the cast : —

The deceased wit's brilliant dramas of The Housekeeper of War were brilliantly performed on Wednesday at the Haymabket by a company combining many of the best London actors , and were heartily enjoyed . Previous to the second play , Mr . Pmelps spoke the following effective Prologue , written by Mr . Samdel Lucas : — Welcome in Jerrold ' s name ! From Jerrolds tomb This greeting chases half the gathering gloom , Aud turns our sorrow for his mortal part To joy and pride in his immortal art . If of this art , enduring at its prime , We gather salvage from the wrecks of time , You , mindful of tha storms and struggles past , Receive and welcome it to shore at last . True to yourselves , and to each other true , In honouring one who greatly honoured you , Behind this curtain you can greet at will His genius living and triumphant still . There waits the actor—there the scene is set , And there the author ' s thought is pregnant yet;—There the light offspring , of his fancy sprung , ' Betray their parent by their English tongue , Reflect his native humour in their part , Or draw their pathos from his manly heart . As 'twas of old , in England ' s classic age , His own creations amply fill our stage . Theirs is the savour and the zest we crave , Surging and sparkling like a Channel wave ^ With salt that had been Attic , but the Nine Steep'd them in English and a stronger brine . Forgetful of their state , here kings may sit , Subjects themselves to his imperial -wit—Wit that flows on regardless—free as air , Like the rough waters around Canute ' s chair . You humbler men who come to see the play * And cheer the playwright , carry this away : — The man was still more worthy of regard , And—though he smote the Philistines so hard—He fought a fair , a brave , and generous fight , ' And struck in honour's name for ruth and right : —Hopeless of cross or riband—taking heed Less for his fortunes than the common need—So , for his guerdon and the common cause , Do you now crown him with your just applause .

—? London , Friday Bvoning , July 17 , 1857 . TnB Indian nows , which was looked for on Saturday last , had been anticipated by some of tho great operators , and the funds fell 3 per cent ., aud the tendency has been downwards ovor since . The 'Bulls' arc seriously alarmed about the possible news by tho next Indian Mail , and are closing their uccounta . This will give the market a sounder basis to go upon . Tho Bank has reduced tho rate of interest ; to C 4 per cent ,, and , although in demand , money Is easier . Tho report , vague and absurd , of a , new five millions loan for India , has holned tho confusion , and the fluctuations in Consols have ueon something considerable . Tho operation in ordinary times of the Bank lowering its rate of discount would have improved the market , but mow , bo dangerous is tho Bull account from its magnitude , that operators rush In to sell . In foreign rnilway shares , Indians and Canadians , tho depression has been greater than in our homo linos . Miscellaneous Khares aro much neglected , and Minos , particularly | Britlah , havu boon much dealt in .

Thk Indian Insurrection . —A correspondent of the Times , in commenting on the recent news from India , attributes much of the disorganisation now existing there , to the vicious sj'stem of centralization which attends to the most trivial matters when it should lie occupied by subjects of a serious nature . He relates a case in point : — " When Sir Frederick Adam was Governor of Madras , I once asked a member of Council , on his return from the Council Chamber , if much business of importance had been transacted that day . ' No , said he , 4 but Adam has been swearing fearfully . ' ' Why ? ' ' Because , as usual , our time lms been taken' up in considering the propriety of adding one more aweepor to the strength of a certain hospital , and after all we have been obliged to refer the question of his pay—viz ., three and a half rupees per mensem , for the approbation of the Supreme Government . Moreover , we have received , as we often dp , a most insolent letter from one of the Calcutta secretaries , which drove Adam frantic' "
