OLYMPIC THEATRE.

Apiece from the Freud), called the Advocate and
hie Daughter, was produced with.success last evening
et this the,:tre. , It is more pleasing than striking.
Tpe plot turns ppon the incident, of a French advo-
clte or barrister succeeding, by his forensic skill, in
annulling a clandestine marriage, fthe lady concerned
in which he" discovers, in the middle of the process
and beforefhis cOlieluding speech, to be his own
daughter, ',whom he thinks 'abroad in Italy. The
Oats are the cliscdVery of the fact, and the 'subse-
quent struggle 1 upon the father's
_part between duty
tni his client and affection' for ',his daughter. The
dinonement consists in the softening of the plaintiff
in the (tlad)fcriii4g hu'sband's father), a majestic
baree,4ajeitiOally rendered lby Mr. Diddear. The
bride was played by Miss Sarah Lyons,, with natural
impulse and feeling.' Mr. Ferret), Miss Lyons, :and
Mr. Hoskins were called before the curtain at the
'conclusion.
