OLYMPIC THEATRE.—At this house last
night, after the performance of The Ladies' Club, and Bar-
nard's interesting burletta The Happiest Man Alive, a new
Piece, entitled The Bald Head, was played for the first, and,
it may be most probably predicted, the last time, should the very
equivocal reception which it met with from the more discern.
log portion of the audience have its due influence with the ma-
nagement. Its name was rather ominous ; for a production
more bare of dramatic incident or interest, well turned or
Pointed dialogue, or one more utterly devoid of anything even
approaching to an attempt at wit or humour, it is not possible
to conceive. The whole affair, either as a dramatic or literary
composition, totally defies criticism. The piece was not an-
nounced for repetition, notwithstanding that the author had
some injudicious admireas amongst the gods.
OYSTER FISHERIES.--A Bill has been brought
into the House of Commons for the better protection of the
Oyster Fisheries in Scotland. It is in substance the same with
that passed for England in the reign of George IV., and enacts
that every person who shall knowingly steal oysters from oyster-
beds, the property of others, shall be deemed guilty of theft,
present
and punished wording y. That every person dredging for
oysters, though none be taken, shall be punished by fine or im-
prisohment—the fine not to exceed 201., and the imprisonment
