      and subtlety of passion and discrimination which make one feel how great an artist she is , and how great a poet she is representing . If English audiences do not appreciate Racine—and they do not—so much the worse for them . As Fuseli once said in a dispute about the merits of Petrarch , " Pere is many reasons why de P etr a rca s h al l n ot be ^ understood in England ; de first is , de d—d ignorance of de language ! and although the St . James ' s a udience may na tt er it self it k nows F renc h , it is miserab ly mistaken , if it cannot taste the exquisite beauty of Racines verse . Let me , h owever , say in defence , t h a t unless peop l e k new t he verse b e f ore th ey wen t t o t h e theatre , they are to be excused for not feeling its beauty when they h ear i t mauled and mang l ed b y those merciless mountebanks ¦ . , » " Who mouth a sentence as curs mouth a bone . S uc h a t roupe ! ye gods ! There is a Theseus—the godlike Theseusr epresented by " a party from Astley ' s without his horse , " as little Jarker , sitting beside me , remarked . There is an Aricie of about four hundred ; and H ippo l yte , a little pud gy Jew boy , w h o oug ht t o be selling lemons . But now imagine the other parts to be p layed by actors at all

      resembling Rachel , and then what a tragedy would the Phedre appear ! Not that Rachel does justice to the verse . In days of y ore , when she had her reputation to make , an d made i t , Rachel used to deliver those verses , one c&ait une bSnSdiction ! It was a charm , a spell , to listen to her mus i ca l u tt erance and d e l ica t e ly shaded expression of the poetry j now sh e gab b les , mashes up the rhythm , hurries over the ground as it only eager to reach her " points , " becomes often unintelligible even to jne who know the lines by h eart , and—were it not for the spl endour o f her fl ashes , a nd t he general t ru t h o f h er concep tion—would spoil the eflect altogether . For , be pleased to observe , in th ese p lays composed after the Grecian model , with little story and no incident , th e verse becomes all important . Elaborately written , it should be uttered so that not a syllable be lost . Her acting now resembles that of the elder Kean ; it is saved b y its points ; formerly her level speaking was equally admirable . I will not disguise the fact , that Eachel has greatly fallen off from her own standard ; but it is also true , that no one on the stage approaches even her present standard ; and the crowded , d eli ght ed audiences seem to think so too .

      MONEY MAEKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , June 3 , 1853 . The Money Market has been more depressed during the last ten days than we have Been it for a long time . The very uneasy and unsettled feeling that prevails here and on the Continent with regard to the Turkisn and Russian differences , and the temporary panic exhibited on the Paris Bourse—always much more sensitive than our own—has had the effect of bringing money sellers into the market . Consols have been down as low S 8 99 ^ i . The effect of the Bank of England , at their meeting yesterday , having raised the minimum rate of discount to 3 $ per cent ., caused a . further downward movement . In Paris there has been a considerable reaction since the first panic , and French shares are remarkably well supported this morning . English shares are weak , and many sellers corning in : yet from several reasons , always supposing that the Russo-Turkish difficulty is once got over , one would imagine that we have nearly reached the bottom of the hill , and a rise must ensue . There will be about three millions soon thrown on the market for investment from the Exchequer Bills , and whatever they maybe reinvested in , will produce a reaction , for three millions is nosmallsum . The arrivals of gold from Australia and California , considerable as they are , already promise to be of still greater magnitude ; and the large exports which have been taking place since last year , must soon bo beginning to have a return . Money , therefore , will probably become much easier during the next two months , and a corresponding rise may be looked for , always supposing , as before stated , that the state of Europe remains pacific . All the minor securities of Land Companies and Mines , have partaken of the general fall , and can be very hardly sold . The reports from Nouveau Monde and other Californian mines , would seem to be very good indeed ; and the first of these mines that makes any great return , will doubtless advance cent , per cent , in price , In Copper Mines , Jamaica and Metcalfe ' s nave experienced most heavy falls , the first reports not having been borne out by the subsequent discoveries . The only Land Company that has improved , is the British-American Land Company , upon whose estates it is reported that gold has been discovered . All Australian Mines are flat , and but little doing in them . CORN MAItKET . Mark Lane , Friday , June 3 , 1853 . The arrivals of wheat , oats , and barley since Monday are ^ moderato . Fine wheat ia held for an advance of Is . to 2 s ., and the inferior description of Is . per quarter , from Monday , at which a fair amount of business has been transacted . The value of oats and barley is firmly maintained . Beans and pens are scarce , and rather dearer . There is less demand for rye from the Continent , and the extreme prices of wheat m some of the lialtic ports have not been supported . They are still too high lor shipment to England .
