      fying . Let the directors go on as they have begun , and they will draw all On ^ Saturday last the company of the Theatre db la . Gaitb appeared before a IiOndon audience at Dkubt Lane . The play they brought with them was the now famous Cosaques , which has just reached its two hundredth night of representation at Paris . This dramatic prodigy did not present itself as an absolute novelty , however , to an English audience on Saturday . Visitors to Astley ' s saw it performed ( and very well performed too ) , in a considerably abridged translation , last year . We have now the excellent original actors , and the whole original play , an entertainment long enough to fill up the evening by itself The great effect of Lts Cosaques is a riot between the French and the Bussian invaders ( the period of the play being the year 1814 ) at a cafe chantant . Fire-arms are prodigally used , chairs and tables are heaped up as barricades a thorough battle in miniature takes place , and the Cossacks are defeated . ' This admirable and exciting scene was one great agent in the success of the play at Paris , and also at Asti / ey ' s . Now we have it at Druby Lane , with an astounding temporary addition . International feeling must be appealed to in London since the late visit , or there is no chance with a British audience . Accordingly , in the fight between the French and the Cossacks , English soldiers are actually introduced ( in the year 1814 ) as helping the French ! At Drury Lane , the soldiers of Wellington and the soldiers of Napoleon—the Great join I

      cause , fight together with the wildest enthusiasm , and fraternise in the hour of victory to the tunes of " God Save the Queen" and- * - *? Parian t pour la Syrie !!" This we conceive to be the boldest coup d ' etat ever inflicted on the drama , and it was brilliantly successful . The patriotic spectators had an excuse for getting on their legs and uttering loyal and patriotic howls , and , just now , that is exactly what audiences want when they go to the theatre . After this , of course , Les Cosaques succeeded ; and we are glad to record the success for the sake of the company . One thing only we should like to know in reference to the performance at Drdky Lane—What do the authors of the play -think of the alteration that has been made in their work to adapt it to London audiences ? Having lost the Spanish Dancers—we hope only for a time—Mr . Buckstonb now attracts the public to the Haybiarket by Auber ' s Fra Diavolo , with Mr . Sims Reeves for hero . This most charming of operas is carefully and completely performed ; both band and chorus ( generally the weak points at nonoperatic theatres ) being in excellent training under the conductorship of Signor Schira . As to Mr . Sims Keeves , we need not criticise him ; we need only announce that he is to be seen and heard . Everybody knows by this time that Fra Diavolo is the best of his characters . He is to appear in the The Bohemian Girl on Tuesdaj r , supported , as in Fra Diavolo , by Mrs . Sims Beeves , and by Mr . and Mrs . Weiss .

      MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , April 27 , 1855 . AVh aro very weak in our markets as rogardu the funds . The intelligence communicated by tho Govornmont journal on Monday morning of tho rejection of our propositions by

      Russia , and the gloomy accounts from Sebastopol , counterbalance the abundance of money and the low rate of discount . People begin to speak openly now that the siege is to be raised ; if so , we shall have to re-embark our forces in the face of an enemy , and perhaps have to fight a second Corunna with the rear-guard whilst the main body is embarking . This afternoon has depressed both funds and shares again . Quotations from Paris are lower up to two o ' clock , and a rumour that increasing infirmity compels Lord Panmure to give up the office and . duties of Minister of War . The electric telegraph between TJalaklaya and London gives us information of matters in the Crimea up to a few hours back ; but the silenceof tho telegraph is very ominous People argue that bad news must have arrived , and that the Ministry keeps it back , and so on . Next week , unless Sebastopol has fallen , we shall hear of the siege being raised , re-embarkation of troops , and a fall of 2 per cent . more . Austria will show herself in her true colours , and whether that will be in favour of the Western Powers remains to be seen . The fate of Sebastopol will determine that wretched power as . to the future . Without the Allies she must fall to pieces herself before another year passes . Railway shares aro very dull , the same with all kinds of investments . United Mexican maintain a fair price ; Santiago ' s nutter , owing to some disturbances in Cuba ; Crystal Palaces heavy .

      CORN MARKET . — -Mark Lane , Friday Evening , April 27 , _ 18 _ 55 , The supplies of Wheat this week , both Foreign and English , arc moderate . The upward movement , which commenced on Monday , has continued since , and a fair extent of business has been done to-day at 4 s . over the prices of that day . Tho holders of Wheat on tho spot have , many of them , withdrawn samples in expectation of still higher prices . The offers on hand , f . o . b . from abroad havo been readily placed , but holders there exhibit equal firmness with our own , and now there is very little offering , and that at prices beyond the ideas of the most sanguine buyers hero . Barley is in moderate supply—demand slow at Is . advance . Oats , of which a fair quantity has arrived during tho week , havo made a ready sale at an advance of Is . Beans aro in request at higher prices ; some cargoes of Saidi on passage have beon sold at 33 s . cost , freight , and insurance , and this description is now held for higher prices . Peas aro hold with more flrmnoss , but tho demand is slow . BRITISH FUNDS FOR THE PAST WEEK . ( Closing Prices . )
