OLYMPIC THEATRE.

A farce, stated to be "entirely original," was produced
with umj,lete success at this theatre last evening, under
the title of Matrimonial—A Gentleman, ts-e. It is full of
broad, side-splitting fun. A gentleman puts an adver-
tisement in a Sunday paper for a wife, end it is
answered by an elderly lady, who sends her maid to
conduct him to the appointed rendezvous. The maid,
however, finds another person on the spot, who is the
lover of her mistress's niece, and brings him instead.
This causes all manner of ludicrous mistakes, until, of
course, all ends happily. Like most productions, the
farce will bear a little curtailment. The dialogue is
lively and smart, and the incidents highly diverting.
Compton and Shalders fifled the principal parts with
extraordinary humour, and the piece is certain to have a
good run.

NOVEL EMPLOYMENT OF INDIARUBBER.--An in-
genious discovery, by which indiarubber and gutta percha
are rendered applicable to the formation of artificial features,
and to the covering of artificial limbs, has been made by edr.
F. Gray, of Cork-street. By this discovery the necessity of
what is called the Taliacotian operation, in supplying the
place of a lost nose to the face, is removed, for that feature
can be formed, and, as it were, grafted ou the integuments in
such a manner as closely to resemble nature. The human
ear can also be closely imitated by the substance produced
by the mixture of the gums of which indiarubber and gutta
percha are constituted. In respect to artificial bands, the
material of which they are formed can be covered
with this substance, which perfectly
