THE CRIBIB OP INDIA.
(From the Spectator.)

It is very necessary that a sufficient number of
European troops should be thrown in to keep the native

nrarciasries in -order. The distribution should be such as to
pmerant any saws rebels from consolidating their strength.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.
When a man who has raised himself to the highest
place in his profession is compelled by the attacks of
iaei-
dioea disease to give up his vocation, in what should be the
prime of life, and when his final parting with those who for
each a length of time hare appreciated his efforts and en-
°Garaged him by their approbation must be made face to face,
the scene must necessarily be a most painful one both for the
leave-taker and his heaters. Lest night Mr. Alfred Wigan
