OLYMPIC THEATRE.

The comic di.'ma of the Red Cap, or the Prisoner of Vin-
cennes, was revived last night at this theatre for the first
time for four years. The principal characters were well sus-
tained by Mrs. Stirling And Messrs. Leigh Murray and H.
Farren, and the piece was put upon the stage in a very
creditable manner; the last scene, showing the illuminati u
of Paris in honour of the escape from prion of the Prince de
Conde, being particularly worthy of notice. After the per-
formance of Ail that Glitters is not Gold, a comic ballet called
the White Statue was proth ced, in which the graceful
dancing of Madlle. Adele and the drollness of Mr. Tom
Matthews gave g-eat satisfaction to the audience.

CREMORNE GARDENS.—Great alterations and im-
provements are taking place in this favourite resort of the
public for the forthcoming season, with an especial regard to
the gratification of foreigners who will flock to our shores
this memoraLle year. Amongst the novelties will be the
construction of a grand equestrian circus, and the formation
of a Hippodrome. The extensive maze heretofore at the
entrance of the King's-road will be removed to the river es-
planade, in order to make room for the circus. The enter-
prising manager, Mr. T. B. Simpson, is now in Paris, con-
cluding equestrian and other engagements, which doubtless
will fully maintain the great reputati,n of this popular place
of amusement.

ADULTERATION OF COFFEE.—A meeting to take
into consideration the present state of the Coffee trade was
held yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr. T. Baring, M.l'.,
in the chair, when resolutions condemnatory of the practice
of adulterating coffee with chicory and other rubbish were
agreed to, notwithstanding the vehement opposition of a
number of retail coffee dealers who were present, the majority
of whom admitted that they were in the daily habit of selling
chicory as coffee.
EXTRAORDINAUT PIGEON FLYING MATCH BY
NlGHT.—During the last few weeks considerable curiosity-
has been manifested among the pigeon fanciers en the
Surrey side of the water, and other places, in consequence
of the following unusual and extraordinary match, which is
reported to be for 31. a side:—lt appears that a Mr. Raw-
lings, of Bermondsey New-road, a well-known fancier of
the feathered tribe, has backed his pigeon to fly, at dark,
from the fifth mile stone, on the Brixton dal, to his resi-
dence, and afterwards from Shoreditch Church, with the
same bird, which has also to travel to Mr. Rawlings' house,
as above stated. The pigeon has been in training for some
time past, and will be shown at the house of Mr. George
Osmond, the BritaLnia, Edward- street, lacing the western
end of the Grange-road, Bermondsey, where the members of
the society assemble every Monday,
Wed"esday, and Satur-
day evenings. The bird has to be marked by disinterested
parties, and, according to the articles drawn up, must be
thrown at both points, and produced at Mr. Osmond's be-
tween seven and tvelve o'clock on Sunday night next. A
great number of be.s are depending on the result, as many of
the young fanciers do not believe that pigeons can fly any
distance in the dart.

THE KAFIR TAB.—WOOLWICH, FEB. 10.—There
is now no doubt of the Vulcan steam troop-ship, Mas.-Corn-
wander John Pena, being ordered to proceed to the Cape of
Good Hope with tie 74th Regiment of Foot, the moment
that gallant corps embark in her at Cork. The 13th Prince
Albert's Light Infantry, at present at Stirling Castle, and
several of the rem,te parts of Scotland, will supply the place
of the 74th Regiment,
originally intended for Gibraltar ; and
the whole of thel3th will be collected with all pos-
sible dispatch at Portsmouth, where they are to
o, u
embark for GiValtar and not at Cork, as has
been stated in some publications. The 13th relieves

ceeds to Antigun,

TEE CA PE.
bAY. Orders Tvere received here this morning to get the
Singavore, Atearo-ship, the property of the Peninsular and
Oriental Steam Company, ready immediately, to embark
troops for the Cape of Good Ilope. Within half an hour
after the receipt of the communication, Captain Engledue,
the superintendent of that company, gave instructions to have
the ship haulvi alongside the dock wall, to be fitted out
with all 'possible dispatch. Sho is to have an orlop deck, and
every requisite for the conveyance and accommodation of
a large number of soldiers. The Singapore is a new ship,
having: made only one voyage to Constantinople and back,
and pl•oved he:•self a fast sailer. She had a trial recently,
and made 12 knots easily. She is commanded by Captain
Robert; W. Evans, one of the most experienced of the com-
pany's officers. It is expected the vessel will be ready and
victimlled by Saturday next, on which day the troops, no
doubt, will leave Southampton for the seat of war.
