Oratory, like other arts, appeals as the eye as the ear, and when a speaker reads that command of the sympathies of his audience which comes from the magnetism of the eye. This is the grand difficulty in the reading of plays or dramatic poems. It must be a great genius, as well as a finished artist, who can overcome the prosaic table, the open book and the blank wall of the lecture room. It is only recording a well known fact when we say that Mrs. Kemble is the only professional reader who overcomes ali these difficul- tes, ond whose reading of one of Shakspere’s plays is better than a theatrical performance of it, as wo shall presently show. Mrs. Kemble, after a short but brilliant theatrical ca- reer, retired from the stage several years since. She is, we bolicve, the last of that family which gave to the Eng- lish stage the best Lady Macbeth (Mrs. Siddons), the ‘best Hamlet (John Philip Kemble) and the best Mercutio (Charles Kemble). Her own performance of Julict was favorably compared, by the best critics, with those of Miss O'Neill and Miss Ellen Treo. dirs. Kombio had thon and bas still allthe physical and mental requisites for the highest place upon the stage. Ten years and over have elapsed since she commenced reading tho plays of Shakspere in public. During that time numerous imitators have sprung up in all parts of the country, but none of them have ever succeeded in obtaining an audience sm the metropolis. Mrs, Kemble, on the ey has her room full_of the best brod and best educated people in town. Such were her audiences at the Four- teenth street College on Monday, when she read “Cymbe- line,” and on Thursday for “Hichard Ill.” Mrs. Kemble Das ‘grown no thinner since we gaw her last, and is other- wise unchanged. She vate behind tho same low table with the same ample folio befare her. Inthe samo man- ner she peopled smatl rostrum from which adolescent doctors are wont to hear learned discourses upon the whole art of killing or curing, with creations of the won- derful imagination of the divine master. Mrs. Kemble is an elocutionist of the old school—we say “old’’ as a fami- liar term—the fact is, there is uo school of oratory for the stage now adays.’ We have departed from the prac tice of our fathers, and very few plays in verse are Sow performed. Wiha few exceptions, our young actors slady only their tailors’ bills, and the actresses are equal ally do- voted to the publications of the milliners. Occasionally a stage stricken youth will essay something in the style so happily hit off in the “ Critic,’ but with the exception of Miss Cushman, Mr. Forrest and Mr. Wallack, we kuow of no persons on the stage who have made elocution a study. Mrs. Kemble joins a perfect knowledge of clocution to a thorongh appreciation Ot the besution ef the poet and that nameless something which makes a groat actress—that power of identification with the part to be assumed and the art to convey thut identification to the audience. Some critics say it is cine faculty—some call it genius. ‘It is a good thing and right pleasant to both arn ed pong what- ever it may be called. The reading of “Rich- ard Jil.,” Shakspere’s most abused play—knocked about and maltreated by retired wood sawyors and dissipated clerks, who hang about theatres hugging the fallacy that one of these daye they will be great actors—was eminently refreshing. No theatre in the city could give 80 good & rey pi ota sr pe of the play, because neither tie leading or subordinate characters could be well Allied by any of our stock companies. During tho wholo reading Mrs. Kemble never lost command over ber audieuce. If we were to sclect any particular passages we should take aif the play; but wo were particularly struck with the rendering of Clarence’s dream, which is omitted in re} sentation. In the lines “Clarence is come,” &c., Kembie’s five full yore rang through the hall like the notes of a trumpet, and the whole speech was iven with such vivid dramatic coloring as bbe d the scene before the eyes of the audience. Mra. Kemble was equally happy in del the cl Sar: an nena ‘ouankion he ete csens ia, * R r seems at times a little conventional, but that is better than the hurrying or slurring or drawling or whining of tho Fronch school, which has spoiled many a good English actress. We are glad to it Mrs. Kemble is fully appreciated. On Thursday the hall was eutirely fail, aud a number of the audience were obliged to remain standing throughout the reading. This evening Mrs. Kemble will read “ Henry VIL” Tux Boor axp Snok Trant or Bostox.—We take the following from the “Lyna Directory,” just pub- hshed:—Roston is now the largest market in the world, and her sales exceed, by millions of dollars, of aby other city on the giobe, Recently there bas been a canvass made by a numberof gentiemen thoroughly ac- juainted with the trade, and it has been ascertained that there are 218 wholesale and jobbing boot, shoo and leather dealers in Boston, whose yearly sales hat and much ho loses peer) REET US 100,000 106 hide and icather dealers, whose yeatiy Bales amount to.......

M. ‘The tendency of prices in the stock market to-day was downward, and the disposition to sell was more active. At the first board Virginia 6’s declined 34 per cent; Read: ing, 1; Erie 4;; Michigan Southern, old, 3; Panama, 3¢ Cleveland and Toledo, 34. Illinois Central bonds advanced 4 per cent; Galena and Chicago, %. Erie opened pretty steady at 1634 per cent, but fell off after a few sales, and closed dull at 1634 per cent, cash. The company is in a very bad way, and we do not see how it can be kept much longer out of the hands of the sheriff. We under- stand that the present management are completely dis- couraged, and have about abandoned all hopo of oxtri- cating the company from its financial difficulties. At the second board nearly every stock on the list was lower. Reading fell off 2 per cent; Cumberland, +4; New York Central Railroad, 14x; Erie, 3{; Galena and Chicago, 1; Cleveland and Toledo, ‘The decline inthe New York Central is the feature of the afternoon board. The last — report of the company should satisfy the public that the | road ts far from being preductive on its immense cost. ‘The financial statement for last year shows a deficieucy of $160,000, and the road running down in condition, The company acknowledge that the $730,000 put into construc- tion account was nothing more or less than so much extra expense. In admitting this they have not admitted enough, for no one at all posted in rolation to railroad operating expenses, supposes for a moment that the New York Central line of 560 miles is operated a peuny below 70 per centof the gross earnings. About two years since the Central Company passed its dividend, and borrowed money six months after to pay it. The reason given for | ‘this was the necessity for making thorough repairs on the road, and the net oornings were taken for that pur- pose. At no very distant day a similar movement will be made again for a similar purpose. The road way and property of the Central Company run down last year more than two per cont on the cost; and if a beavy expenditure is not made very soon to keep"! up the efficiency of the line it will be as bad off as the | Erie. The New York Central Railroad Company earn not just about four per cent per annum, and that is all it | should pay. Its business is running rapidly into freight- | ing, which at present prices is not profitable. Its passen- | ger business in 1857 was less than in any previous year | since 1853, and this year (1867 and 1858) it will be, with out doubt, less than at any time since the consolidation. ‘The wholo increase in its earnings since 1863 has been in freight. The net receipts for the six months ending December 31, 1867, are appropriated to the payment of the February (1858) dividend. The decrease in the groas earnings in that six months cannot be less than eight hundred thousand dollars, The expenses from freshets, &o,, have in the same time been larger than asual, Cader these circumstances, the payment of the February divi dend cannot be made without borrowing bodily the entire sum required topay it, This is nothing mew, for it has been done every year since the consolidation. ‘The Asristant ‘treasurer reports to-day as follows :-— $431,218 91 118,171 25 4,230, 987 72 barebones of bank oficers. wae ‘held at the Clearing House this afternoon, at which the following banks were represented — Bank of New York, Rank of the Republic, Merchants’ Bank, Chatham Rank, Mechanics’ Bank , Peo: Rank , Union Bank, Hlanover Bank, Rank of America, Irving Bank, Pheonix Rank, Metropolitan Bank, City Rank, Citizens’ Bank, ‘Tradesmen’s Bank.

Farmers are tov timid to send i poultry on their own account, although there is very little danger in doing #0, The warm weather has also retarded the forwarding of poultry.
