The stage business of the week requires little to be
said. At the Haymarket, Bubbles of the Day, with FARREN and Mrs. NasaErr in their original parts, alternates with the Rose of Arragon. At the English Opera, 0. SMITH has joined the company ; and besides the continued change of old pieces, a new one is promised. At the New Strand, Mr. and Mrs. KEELEY are keeping the game of fun alive. Mr. MACREADY has obtained 51. damages for a violent attack upon his management in the Weekly Dispatch. He could not have expected more, or got much less ; and mulcting in law-costs the paper which however unjustly assailed him, was surely not a dignified proceeding. The verdict of the Jury proves nothing : MACREADY'S character, as an actor, a manager, and a man, stands just as it was before. For all vindicatory purposes the lawsuit was useless. We think he must regret that his sensitiveness led him to commence an action that he could not abandon without confessing he was wrong.
