Daunt LANE opened on Monday evening with the
first of a series of six performances by Mr. G. V.
Brooke, who, previous to his departure for Australia,
is to play his principal characters at this theatre.
Virginius was the play chosen for the opening
night, and Richard the Third, Othello, and
Hamlet have followed in succession. Mr. Brook's
has acted throughout with his usual effective vigour,
and with his usual peculiarities, yet meeting witll
that applause which his ability and talent deserve.
The house has been well attended every night., to
which Mr. Wright, in the farce, has no doubt some-
what contributed.

THE PRINCESS'S opens on Monday next, under
the management of Mr. Charles Kean, with a new
comedietta, entitled Living too Fast, and a new
drama in three acts, by Douglas Jerrold, called The
Heart of Gold.
THE OLYMPIC also opens for the season on Monday
next, under the management of Mr. Alfred Wigan.

A SmarrEn Lirrtg Boy, some twelve years old, while
visiting his relations in the neighbourhood of Inverness,
had a narrow escape from a frightful death. About five in
the afternoon he went out in quest of rabbits. At ten in
the evening he had not returned, and no one knew any-
thing of him. Messages were despatched hither and
thither regarding him, quite in vain. At last it was deter-
mined to research the hill where he had been last seen.
On approaching the place a little dog by which he had been
accompanied made its appearance, frisking delightedly,
and conducted the party to a rabbit-hole, where, however,
nothing was visible, or could have been suspected, till one
of the gentlemen thrust his arm into tLe place, and got
hold of the little fellow's heels. He was so firmly wedged
in that it was impossible to extricate him by merely pulling,
and be had at length to be dug out. When brought to
light, much to the gratification and comfort of the folks
around, the little fellow presented a very extraordinary ap-
pearance ; but coolly intimated that be would look better
when he was washed, that he had slept for some time, and
that he was sorry for the loss of the rabbit he had pursued.
THE :MOST COMMON CAUSES OF ENLISTMENT have been
curiously investigated by a surgeon in the United States
army. By permission of the captain in a company con-
taining fifty five. the writer being pledged never to disclose
the name of officer or private, except as a physical or
metaphysical fact, the true history was obtained of every
man. On investigation it appeared that nine-tenths en-
listed on account of some female difficulty, thirteen of them
had changed their names, and forty-three were either
drunk or partially so at the time of the enlistment. Most
of them were men of fine talents and learning, and had
once been in elevated positions in life. Four had been
lawyers, three doctors, and two ministers.
