OLYMPIC THEATRE.
An entertainment termed a Romantic Melo-
dramatic Spectacle was produced last evening, under
the title of The Forest of Terror; or, the Devil's
Diggings. It was beautifully put upon the stsge,
and Mr. Flexmore, as the Imp Rubezahl, was inde-
fatigable in his rapid feats of grotesque agility.
Madile. Auriol, as the Spirit of the Golden Lake,
displayed her choregraphic talents with great effect,
dancing with exceeding finish and aplomb, and wrs
greatly applauded. Here we must stop, for the piece
itself is trashy and wearisome, as its qualified recep-
tion by the audience sufficiently demonstrated. When
copiously cut down it may answer to fill up an hour.
The house was extremely well attended, and the
preceding pieces, Sink or Swim and The Loan of a
Lover, very satisfactorily performed. In the lattrr,
Mr. W. Marren, jun., played remarkably well, and
Miss Harriet Gordon acted and sang most-agreeably.
Her talents are a decided acquisition to the establish-
ment.

THE CABINET THEATRE.—The members of the
Amicable Dramatic Amateurs gave their second performance
here last evening. The pieces selected were She Stoops to
Conquer and The Honeymoon.
THE BRITISH MUSEUM.—The iron railings which
have been in course of erection for some months past in front
of the British Museum are at length put up, though the
ornamenting them is not yet completed, and will take yet
five or six weeks to accomplish. The porter's lodge, the last
remnant of the old building, is cleared away, and not a
vestige remains of that celebrated structure. ft is intended
to form an ornamental garden and shrubbery on the exten-
sive area within the enclosure, with a dwarf wall, on which
will be placed an iron railing, a part of which is already
raised. Several alterations have taken place in the arrange-
ment of the sculpture and other antiquities in this national
institution. The Assyrisn relics, which from the darkneqs
of the apartment could scmely be distinguished, have been,
removed to a gallery which extends the whole width of the
Museum, adjoining the Lycean Gallery. The light will
here be distributed from the roof, which will be almost en-
tirely composed of glass, on an iron framework. These
arrangements are not yet finished, and the public will not be
adir.itted to them for some time.
