Yesterday afternoon, the inhabitants of the surround ing neighbourhood were thrown into a state of the utmost consternation from the breaking out of a fire, which, before it was subdued, rendered the once cele brated Olympic a mass of ruins. Of the building only a portion of the walls and the portico in Drury-lane, which used to lead to the box and pit entrances, are standing. The first information which the i❑habitants of the adjoining houses and the passers by had of the ca lamity, was from the several persons connected with the theatre rushing into the streets and calling out fire, and almost immediately after the flames and smoke were to be seen pouring out in all directions. Within five minutes after the first alarm had been given the engines from the parish church, followed by those from Chandos-street, West of England, the Waterloo-road, the Farringdon and Watling-street stations arrived, and these were suc ceeded by those belonging to the more distant stations; yet with this powerful aid, coupled with a plentiful supply of water, and assisted by a large and powerful body of police, under the direction of Mr. Superintendent Pearce and Inspector Ward, of the F division, the ex ertions were unavailing, and the Olympic is totally destroyed. The following authentic particulars connected with this calamity have been obtained from Mr. David son, the lessee in conjunction with Captain; Spicer. Mr. Davidson informed the reporter that he had been at the theatre during the whole day, making the necessary preparations for the production of the several pieces which were to be produced that evening for the benefit of Mr. Bender, it being the last night but one of the season. At ten minutes past five o'clock he left the theatre for his chambers, at which time the house vas is perfect safety. In less than half an hour he returned to witness the destruction of his property (one of the per sons connected with the theatre corning with the intel ligence of the calamity to him in a cab), and front the isiformation which he obtained from the several parties in the building at the time of the accident, the follow ing is the origin of the fire:—Tha drop-curtain on the the stage, as all the frequenters of the theatre aro aware, was of green velvet, but, from being very old, it was lined with common cotton. The curtain, in stead of drawing up, divided in the centre, and was drawn to the sides. On that side next to the right from the entrance to the boxes and pit was situate the prompter's box, and here a gas-light was located, over which was invariably placed a tin shade to prevent any accident. Last evening, the per son whose duty it was to attend to the gas was absent, and the party who lighted the prompter's lamp forgot to please the tin shade over it; the light of the gas thus came in contact with the curtain, and in an instant all was in flames. The carpenters and those on the stage declare that the fire ran up as if it had caught a train of gunpowder; for some secends they were stupified, but as soon as they recovered their self-possession they ran to the top of the flies with an intention of cutting the supporters of the curtain away. While this was being done Mr. Stirling, the stage manager, and the treasurer, had filled what buckets they could with water, hoping that when the curtain fell they should be able, if not to extinguish, to at least prevent the flames from extending until help was obtained, and thus save the building and property. The carpenters, however, camp running down, declaring that all hope was lost, for the flames had caught the various inflammable matters, sixth as turpentine, &c., so as to render it impossible to save the building from total destruction. This opinion, un fortunately, was too well founded, as within an hour the whole was one mass of flames, towering up like a pyra mid, and, though still day-light, showing to a consider able distance.

The Company has Branch Offices at Glasgow, Dublin, Edin burgh, Liverpool, Manchester, Bath, Bristol, Gloucester, &c., and In the principal towns in the kingdom. Transfer of Policies free of expense. It is to be regretted that Mr. Davidson is not insured. That gentleman and Captain Spicer took the house about eighteen months ago, and, singular as it may appear, an insurance was to have been effected to-morrow. Mr. Davidson having come to an agreement with Mr. Farren and Mrs. Nesbit to let the house for the summer season, they were to take possession in a few days. The loss sustained by the present lessees is about 2,0001. The house was originally built by Philip Astley for equestrian performances. George 111. not only assisted Astley pecuniarily, but gave him the timber of a cap tured French seventy•four, of which the whole of the interior of the theatre was composed, the masts being used as the supporters. The ground on which it stood belongs to the Earl of Craven; but the owner of the late theatre was Mr. Cavell, a descendant of old Astley by marriage, and that gentleman's loss is covered by an insurance in the County Fire-office for 3,0002 Independently of the above loss, from 15 to 20 persona have suffered morelor leas by the calamity, most of whom are in humble circumstances, but from the confusion which prevailed it was impossible :to obtain anything like a correct account. The greatest sufferer is under stood to be the landlord of the Fountain, the corner of Maypole-alley, which nearly abutted on the theatre. The inhabitants in Craven-buildings brought out their goods, and sustained in this way much greater damage than if they had actually remained in their various rooms. By nine o'clock all danger had ceased; and although there could not not have been at one time less than from 10,000 to 15,000 persons about the vicinity; yet, owing to the admirable arrangements of the police, it was understood no accident occurred.

The Spring once more resumes her reign, And nature is herself again. The leaflets spread—the flowers unfold, And many a warbled tale is teli. I cannot view a time like this— A holiday of smiling bliss— Without a vvish to weave a rhyme, In hailing happy Easter time. Como, .nhooreta 1... t. in a•oloomo Como, With active stir and busy bum; Cold must the senseless bosom be, Which cannot glow at meeting thee. A special charm this time has got, Which other holidays have not. Axd dearly do I love to mark, Thy smiling groups—thy busy park ; Thy gardens and thy crowde I fairs, Where many a happy heart repairs. And hence thy welcome do I sing, Bright glorious holiday of Spring. Thy near approach, for near thou art, Has wrought a change in MOSES' Mart, Where purchasers in thousands press For articles of EASTER DRESS. MOSES and SON have dresses prime For happy, smiling Easter tine ; Fashions for Spring, entirely new, At MOSES' Mart are brought to view. New cloth, pew workmanship, new style, Here merit an approving smile. THE HATS AND CAPS Are also prime, And suitable for Easter time. No point in quality and shape, Do MOSES suffer to escape ; But any one can plainly see, The Nati are what they ought to be. THE BOOTS AND SHOEg Provided there, Are just the goods for Easter wear. Better I'm sure we'e never known, For I have proved it by my own The stock of HOSIERY AND SHAWLS, For equal commendation calls. There's nothing is the Spring attire But what the public must admire. And reader I would have you know That every thing is purchased low. And thus would I conclude my rhyme On MOSES' Mart and Easter time. LIST OF PRICES. READY MADE.

Mr. Fellows, many years of the Leander Club, and the indefatigable hon. secretary of the Thames Regatta, had, at the solicitation of the gentlemen kindly under taken the office of umpire. At 20 minutes to six o'clock the Cantabs moved towards the starting-place in their blue flannel wrappers, and were shortly afterwards fol lowed by the other crew, who rowed in their Guernseys. Both parties looked extremely well, and appeared most anxious to get to work. Mr. Edward Searle having waited until the course was properly clear gave the signal, and both crews were at work with the rapidity of lightning at the same instant. After about half a dozen strokes the Oxford, who were on the Surrey side, began to show their bow in advance, and at the Duke's head had improved their advantage to getting half their length clear, and in the succeeding tew minutes they had gained a foot or two more, in which position they continued for about the same period, when the Cantabs applied themselves so vigorously to their work as to shorten the distance, on their arrival off the Chancellor's, to merely about from their bow thwart forward in advance, the Cantaba having, in our opinion, been steered too much into the Middle sex shore. From the Chancellor's the Oxonians pulled so hard that they gradually drew their length about clear as they neared Hammer• smith-bridge, where both parties were greeted with the most deafening cheers. In a:minute:and a half from this time, so gallant were the exertions of the Cambridge crew, that they began to overlap their adversaries' boat, and stroke by stroke for the next half minute or so, tame as level with their opponents as at the moment of start ing. The conduct of both crews was most gallant; in ♦ain did the Oxonians endeavour to regain their posi tion; their exertiens-at this trying moment were une qual to those of their opponents, and the Cambridge men gradually drew away, stroke by stroke, and arrived first at the winning-post by six or eight lengths. The Oxonians' style was more lofty than that of their suc cessful opponents, but both worked capitally. The win ners rowed in a boat built by the Searles, of Stangate. The time occupied by them in performing the distance was 22 minutes. TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS STAKES. Offers to back Nunnykirk agst Honeycomb, but no bet laid.

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE BOAT-RACE This very interesting event, which has for some time past engrossed the attention of the aquatic circles, took place yesterday evening, and was one of the most gallant trials of science and condition we ever remember to have witnessed; it had been looked forward to with much anxiety by a large portion of the public, and the hearty plaudits bestowed by the thousands " who put in an appearance at the scene of action yesterday proved beyond a doubt that the anticipation of good sport had been completely realised. The last match of this description was in the spring of 1846, on which occasion, as well as on the previous one (a season before), the Cantabs were victorious. Since that period the public have not been gratified with this interesting race, although it may be as well to remark that in 1847, as well as our memory serves us, the Ox onians pulled against the Cantabs, and defeated them in the regatta at Henley. The Oxonians were the challengers on the present occasion, and the gauntlet having been readily taken up by the Cautabs, they im mediately betook themselves to the selection of the crews and the following gentlemen were ultimately deter mined on OXFORD.

They arrived in town on Monday, and then proceeded to Putney to take as early a turn over the course as they possibly could, nor did they lose any time in this respect, for the Oxonians absolutely turned out at dark on that evening, in consequence of their crew not mustering earlier. They repeated their trial over the course on Tuesday morning, and the Cantabs having done the same both on Monday and Tuesday, the rival crews merely went out on Wednesday, and had three or four little spurts in the way of practice. During these trials their friends and others looked on with considerable satisfaction, it being obvious from the time occupied by them that a good race must be the result. Amongst those who inclined to any think like the ordinary course of t hin g s the betting was throughout slightly in favour of Oxtord, at which it continued up to the moment of starting, when 6 to 5 on Oxford was the figure, but the takers were so eager— from a general desire to get money on—that guineas to pounds on the Oxonians found immediate respondents. The distance selected for this aquatic trial was from Putney to Mortlake, as usual—a distance of four miles, short a furlong. Notwithstanding the very inauspicious state of the weather, the rain having fallen heavily during the early part of the afternoon, and there being a sharp shower or two, with symptoms of more to come, as the time of starting approached, the attendance of spectators was immense.
