OLYMPIC THEATRE.

The petite drama of Hush Money, WkiCh was first pro-
duced some twenty years ago, under the management of
Mme. Vestris, at the Olympic Theatre, has been revived,
to afford Mr, Robson a new field for the exhibition of his
peculiar t-slents. Sir Jasper Touchwood suits Mr. Robson
well, who is never seen to Tuch advantage as when he has
a comic character to al:stain with a dash of the tragic in
it. Liston, it may 'be remembered, was famous in the
part of Sir Jasper Touchwood ; but we doubt if in this
character he equalled Mr. Robson, who is a more skilful
actor in the earnest line than his renowned predecessor.
Mr. Wigen could hardly have selected a better drama than
Hush Money for Mr. Robson, who has proved so great a
trump card for the establishment thai it is worth while to
study the direction of his abilities on all occasions.

Titan it . waterwork companies of the steps taken for adapt-
,g.,
their laid.° arrangements to the requirements of the
act of la'it session regarding the London supply. The
New _River Company state that all the necessary works
c,or the covering of reservoirs, the completion of filtering
beds, and insuring constant supply and high service,
will be efficiently completed by the period named in the
act, and that a bill for the diversion of the sewerage of
the town of Hertford, which was last year thrown out by
the Lords on the opposition of local Interests, is now
again before Parliament, These undertakings, how-
ever, will involve an aggregate outlay of 700,000/. The
Grand Junction Company state that their works for
drawing water from Hampton, and bringing it to their
former reservoirs at Kew, although they have not
made the progress expected, will be completed with-
in the prescribed time—namely, the 31st of August,
1855. At present the water delivered by this com-
pany amounts to t,518,342 gallons, and they .."4"

P'- ..g of next year. The delivery of the latter corn-
.ay is at present 8,000,000 gallons, and their power
Will be increased to 20,000,000, The Lambeth Com-
pany and the Chelsea Company have both selooted a
point above Kingston as the sources of their fresh
supply, and the new works of the former are already in
full operation. The Kent Company derive
their supply
from the Ravenabourne, and their existing system is in
harmony with all the requirements of the act. They
wants

of the

tending their works to meet the growing
district. The East London Company merely report
that they will lee ready with their alterations at the
proper time. The Hampstead Company state that they
are making an artesian well at Kentish-town, that a
total depth has been reached of 886 feet, and that there
is every reason to believe the original estimate of the
thickness of the chalk stratum will be entirely verified,
and that the green sand will be found within 2QO feet of
the depth now attained. -
