OLYMPIC THEATRE.

Since the introduction of the Tread Mill at this
theatre, we are happy to find that the Proprietor has
turned it to good account. The house has been
crowded every evening this week at a very early
hoar. ✓osw a sod Tom cad Jerry, the splen-
dour of the former and the excellence of the latter,
are still the admiration of all who visit this elegant
and comfortable little establishment. A most
beautiful scene is introduced in this inimitable
version of Life its London of Vauxhall Gardens,
on a gala night, the brilliancy of which is impos-
sible to surpass. The introduction of a hornpipe
by ?dim ADCOCK drew forth much and deserved
apphium. Eve►y exertion appears to be used to
merit the great patronage the house has received
since the commencement of the season.

Mr. BOCHSA is engaged ut Drury lane Theatre,
as composer to that estoblislimerit, for ten years. It
is uoderstood thus he does not lend the orchestra
this season, but is notwithstanding at the hood of
the musical department. Next season he will, we
believe, have the entire control of the vocal and
instrumental music.

We have pleasure in observing that the rare and
exquisite fruit from Matronlians, imported by Mr.
JAMES HARRIS. late of Coventry, sod of which a
small supply was humbly presented to his MA-
Jurry some time ago, has since been partially sup-
plied to the different fruit of the 'metropolis at
from Is. to is. rich. It is the first successful at-
tempt to import this species of fruit at this late
period of the year, but it manifests the ingenuity
of the memo taken to preserve it during a sea
voyage ; and. nu doubt, Mr. HARRIS will discover
other means of importation, that we may obtain it
under excellent preservation said plentiful supply.
