Coleman, was opened for the first time on Thursday
night, when a crowded and respectable audience listened
with pleasure to an excellent band, playing the most fa-
vourite overtures and quadrilles. Some choice and ex-
cellent singing followed, diversifying the entertainment
of the evening, which was loudly applauded. After a
short interval, dancing cornmencA, which was kept up
with great spirit. A visit to this novel entertainment

REMEDY FOR CRAMP.—A writer in the Medical
Times asserts that he has discovered in the,followirm
simple process an effectual remedy for this distressing
and frequent complaint, to which he bad himself been,
for many years, a martyr. His plan is to sleep upon an
inclined plane, which is effected by taking care that the
bed or mattress should incline at least twelve inches
from the upper to the lower portions of the bed; and for
this purpose either the lower feet may be cut down to
the requisite inclination, or the inclined plane may be
made by an arrangement of mattresses, or by removing
the feathers from the lower end or the bed. The writer
was led to adopt this plan, by ots•ervit:,_;-
bleeping in a chair, with the lower limbs nearly tuticniug
the floor, he never, in that position, was disturbed by
cramp.
