OLYMPIC.

The entertainments at this deservedly favourite
little theatre, commenced last evening with A
Royal Commission from Paris, which was ex-
ceedingly well received, and is likely to become a
stock piece. The Royal Commission is directed
as a reward for electioneering service to M. Jollivet
(Mr. F. Vining), a wealthy proprietaire in La
Vendee, and imposes on him the special duty of
ridding the province of the Chouan leader Alexis
Kerbout (Mr. Baker), who, whilst the Commis-
sioner has been in Paris, to obtain an appointment
from his ministerial patron, is introduced to
Madame Jollivet (Miss Fitzwalter), as the
husband of her dearest friend Agatha (Miss
Treble), and is accordingly sheltered from his pur-
suers in the very house of the Commissioner.
To deceive a mischievous and prying lady's maid,
Clausette (very cleverly acted by Miss Ayres), the
Chouan Chief is passed off as M. Jollivet, until
that gentleman arrives in person, when a series of
the most laughable mistakes and embar-
rassments ensue, terminating in the escape of
the outlaw from France, and the great honour of
the Commissioner, who unconsciously obtains at
last the entire credit of putting down, by his ad-
dress and humanity, the protracted Chouan insur-
rection, and ridding the province of its most for-
midable pest. " The Ladies Club" followed, and
its proceedings were conducted with undiminished
spirit and eclat. In the burletta called Legacy
Hunting, the acting of Mr. Brookes as General
Playwell, was very much applauded, and, indeed,
deserved the highest praise. The very dissi-
milar part of Morgan Morgan, in Mark
Leman's drama of Gwynneth Vaughan, was
performed by Mr. Brooks with equal truth, vigour,
and richness. Miss M. A. Atkinson, as Lyddy
Pryse, and Mr. G. Wild, as Hugh Morgan, also
well merited the hearty applause which they received.
It is scarcely necessary to say, that the Ladies'
Club and Gwynneth Vaughan owe a large share
of their success to the admirable acting of Mrs.
Stirling.

REGENT-STREET, and 29, IRONMONGER•LANE,
CIIEAPSIDE, may be consulted from Eight o'Clock in the
Morning until Ten at Night, on every variety and stage of
Syphilis, with that delicacy and secresy they have hitherto ob-
served. The treatment they pursue will not subject any patient
to confinement or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex-
treme nature they eradicate in eight or ten days, or if slight or
recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate, use of mer-
cury, and at a moderate expense. Generative debility,
Gonorrhcea, and Strictures of the Urethra, tuahappily so preva-
lent, are treated upon those unerring principles which have in-
sured to Messrs. Sloan and Co. sot, rge a share of public pa-
tronage for nearly thirty years in London, and which it will be
their future exertion to maintain.
Letters, oontaining, an onelosur!i, will be answered by return

THE APERITIVE FOUNTAIN instantly
removes confinement of the bowels by a little water only.
Having been constructed by Dr. Scott, with a view to render
it easy of application ; it will be found superior to all lavement
machines. One of its chief recommendations is--that it admits
of being ( with its contents) carried in the pocket. It should
be in the possession of every family, and the habitual use of
opening medicines abandoned.
DR. SCOTT'S CORNETS for Deafness are the smallest
contrivances hitherto invented, that possess a magnifying power
sufficient to enable the deaf to hear conversation ; and as they
are so light that the wearer is not sensible of having anything in
the ears, the benefit of their assistance may be enjoyed, without
inconvenience, amid all the occupations and pursuits of life. A
pair (price 255.) sent, post free, to any part of the kingdom,

Under the Management of a Board of Directors.
This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wealthy, viz. :-
Ist. Insuris.g their lives in sums from 5/. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age ; Weekly
Allowances during Sickness ;_ and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums being divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 10/. to 100/., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 20/. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included.

The attention of the Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
hence:orth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily
have guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the Oleo, 351,
