The King of Norway and Sweden has charged
the Minister of Justice to draw up a Bill to authei se
the admission of Jews into the kingdom of Nom ay,
from which they are at present entirely excluded, raid
to declare to what rights they are to be entitled.
The Bill will be submitted to the Storthing in its next
sessioa.

Another arrest, connected with the late proceedings
against MM. Hautier and Decaens, has been effected at
Havre, that of an officer of the active service of the
Custom-house. He was examined on Friday, with the
other two accused, before the Juge d'lnstruction, as im-

OPENING OF THE OLYMPIC THEATRE.—The Surrey
Theatre company have taken the Olympic for a few
nights, and they will commence on Monday, Sept. 27.
VAUXHALL GARDENS.—Mr. Howard, of the free-
list department, takes his benefit this evening. In addi-
tion to the numerous attractions which the gardens
afford, the beneficiaire holds out a hundred inducements,
and his personal urbanity and attention lead us to hope
that his benefit may prove a bumper.
We understand there is a probability that the
Admiralty will recommend the grant of pecuniary com-
pensation to the officers and men engaged in the Edict'
Service, and that this recommendation will have reference
to the amount of service performed by each vessel so
employed.— United Service Gazette.

THE CRICKET STEAM-vesser...—We stated last
week that the Admiralty had ordered the machine for
testing boilers at Woolwich to be lent to Mr. Smith, to
test the boilers of the ill-fated steamer Cricket. We
understand that the test has been applied, and with the
most satisfactory results, as affecting the manufacturer
of the boilers, for it resisted a pressure of no less than
1451 b. to the square inch.
