      GOSSIP ABOUT THE THEATRES . *' 0 ^ f fne prile beancoup de sottises—I am credited with a great many absurdities I never uttered / ' said a somniferous Abbe" m the presence of D'Alenibert , who , with a Frenchman's wit , replied , " Tant pis ! on ne write qu ' aux riches— So much the worse for you I nobody lends anything Dut to the opulent . " I thought of that mot the other day , hearing an actor complain of not having " parts" written for him , " like the French actors . " Of course not : who will lend to the poorP The French actors can acfc , and therefore parts are written for them . No one hears Keeley , or Mi * s . Keeley , Buckstone , or Webster , or Charles Mathews , complain that they cannot get parts . On our stage , we have not the ingenue ; we nave the " white muslin . " and the " walking lady , " but the ingSnue is a part no man thinks of writing , because there ib no actress for it ; by the time our actresses have acquired the art , they have lost the age . Mdle . Luther is an ingenue . She is young , and plays young parts , " characters . * ' And very charming she is in them . In Une jille de la

      grande ArmSe , for example , nothing can be more fascinating titan her graceful brusquerie and petulance ; she is Pulchra , procax , petit fante manu , as old AusoniuB would say , —that is , feminine , even amidst her unfeminfod ways ; fit for the salon , though bred in barracks . She made me , in that part , forget her incompetence in Livre III ., Chapitre I " ; or * rather , she indicated , thereby , the limits of her style , showing that she can play the ingSnue , but not la grande coquette . Lafont made his first appearance this season in the part of the " General , " and was welcomed as the English always welcome old favourites . He is an admirable actor , and versatile . With him , the company at the St . James's assumes quite a new importance , and the larger audiences of late , show that the public appreciate the better bin of fare . Ravel is still here—still inimitable . I have not much to say of the other theatres . Benefits and Easter preparations are the " order of the day . " Webster is taking farewell of the Haymarket in all earnest , playing for the last time a variety © f favourite parts . His farewell benefit is on Monday . Buckstone , who enters upon management at Easter , has been making great efforts to get a strong company together . Helen Faucit and Miss Cushman have brief " starring" engagements ; the former to appear in a new play by Browaing . But the strongest " company" in London will be at the Ade lphi — Webster , Leigh Murray , Wigan , Keeley , Mrs . Keeley , Mrs . Stirling * Miss Woolgar , Madame Celeste , &c . At the Pbincess ' s there will be no Easter burlesque , but a bandit melodrame , founded on Scribe ' s opera , Marco Spada , in which Charles Kean will doubtless perform an amiable ruffian with effect . A version , of the same Marco Spada will be produced at the Olympic . The same " gossip report" which brings these scraps to my ears , assails me also with the news that the Lyceum : will have another drame spectacle of the Chain of Events character , only instead of being in eight acts , it is to be in nine ! and that Beverly is to do in it what no one else can do—surpass William Beverly ! You may expect , perhaps , that I am about to tell you something of Mr . Sands , the American ceiling walker at Dbuey Lane ; but , although I hear of this great " antipodal feat" of a man walking with his feet pressed to the ceiling , and his head resting on the " impalpable air , " I also read , in the Brury Lane playbills , that he does so " in defiance of the laws of equitation , ' * and being a philosopher , I am occupied in somtifc that problem before witnessing the fact . Consider what a defereatial calculus is needed for this problem : " Given , the laws of equitation , to discover antipodal walking ! " A new drama has also been produced Vt this theatre , The School for Sings , but I did not see it . I was afraid it also might have been in defiance of the laws of equitation ! ^ ¦ - r - VmJitf .

      An unequivocating Yes , was the answer ; and , td make assurance doubly sure , Mr . Purcell affected ndt to hear that answer ; so we repeated the question , and again were assured that she was an impostor . This was the most satisfactory answer of the evening , and I felt very sorry that the Medium was a woman—not a man , to whom I could have said , " I asked the spirits if you were an impostor , and you hear them declare you to he one . " For I must plainly say , that a more ignoble imposture than this spirit manifestation never came before me—and that was the opinion of the whole party . It iB easy for the reader to convince himself of this by a similar process . G . H . Lewes . P . &—I have said nothing of the table being moved , simply because , before the Medium came , we tried the experiment ourselves , and found that by a motion of the knees , which should not be visible to any one sitting * 0 und the table , we could move a huge oaken table , of a size and weight which defied our moving it with the hands , while sitting ; and , when Mrs . Hayden endeavoured to move it , as she had volunteered , Sir William twined his legs around tne leg of the table , and prevented her . He felt her straining to more it ; and she must have thought the table too heavy , for at length she desisted ,

      MONteY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , March 11 , 1853 . DrBiJro the early patt of the treek the Share Market has been Bomewhat languid , bufc during yesterday and to-day prices have again rallied . Consols , aftaf beihg tolerably steady at 99 $ to 99 } , yesterday rose to 99 | , and are today 99 f to par . The expected arrival bT news from Sydney , and the weekly meeting of the bank directors havi ng taken place without any alteration in the rate of discount , has had a favourable effect on all stocks . Foreign Stocks have shown great activity during theveek , particularly South American and Mexican . The Turkish loan Raa advanced to 21 . premium . Foreign Railway Shares have bften Tory buoyant—in all the principal French lines there have been strong purchasers . The Northern of Frattoe have improved 20 s . to 30 s . per share ; the South-Eastern of France , an embryo line which has not yet obtained a concession Aram the French Go-Teniment , has been asked after a good deal this week » and several purchases made—from which it is to be inferred that the state of the Bourse in Paris is more satisfactory , and in that case the concession will bo no longer withheld . Shares in the various Gold-Mining Companies have advanced in price . In Californian Mines the Nouveau Monde seem the beat—a dividend even is threatened . Australian Agriculturals have improved ; the offishoot from this latter Company , called the Peel iiivor Land and Mineral , has risen 21 . par share . Nova Soutias are 1 J- to 2 per share . More Copper Mining Companion have been projected . Lake Superior , which is well known by mineralogists to be abundant in copper , is to bo the scene of these new operations . Money is allowed to be very easy , and if tho Bank uoes not put the " screw" on again , there will be no lack of speculation .
