OLYMPIC THEATRE.

In addition to the burletta of Hearts and Diamonds, which was pro.
duced at this theatre on Monday last, another new burletta, The River
God, has made its appearance. The River God, notwithstanding his
aqueous appellation, is a mere bubble of the earth, tho.igh most humour-
ously delineated by Keeley. The mirth of the audience was kept up all
through the piece by the drollery of Keeley. Miss Malcolm enacte 1 her
part with archness and tact ; and Mrs. Griffith, who has been imported
to this house from the English Opera-house, gave groof that she is a
most useful addition to the company. The house was, as usual, crowded.

SINGULAR DlSTRESS.—Archibald Carmuel, town-
officer, hanged at the cross, and hung on the gallows 24
hours : and the cause wherefore he was hanged, he, being an
unmerciful greedy creature, poinded (i.e., attached by distress)
an honest man's house ; and among the rest he poinded the
King and Queen's picture ; and when he came to the cross to
comprise (appraise and expose to auction) the same, he hung
them up on two nails on the same gallows to be comprised;
and they being seen, word went to the King. and Queen,
whereupon he was apprehended and hanged.—Pitcairn's
Ancient Trials, April 27, 1601.
The communication lately opened between the
Aberdeenshire canal and the harbour, which allows the barges
to go alongside the vessels, to deliver or receive cargoes from
them, has already increased very considerably the traffic on the
canal, particularly in grain, and at the same time the trade of
the port of Aberdeen ; for, formerly the farmers in Strath-
bogie and neighbouring districts had to seek a market in Port-
soy, which is at a considerable distance ; or at any rate they
had to deliver the produce there, which entailed a great ex-
pense and the sacrifice of a whole day's work of their horses.
liut since the canal was connected with the harbour so great
has been the saving of e*pen§e of cleliYerY AhtircWan that
the whole grain business of the district mentioned is now trans-,
acted in Inverury, where the canal terminates, The transact,
actions, too, are of such magnitude that a Bank Agency has
been established in that small town. Several granaries also
have been erected, or are in course of being so, and an Ai"
business now, for the first time,pervadas *1-
change has also been felt to h^ t .—.,e place. The

doing buginesa that is much relished by farmers, as it is a great
4itying of time, and a convenience to them in various respects.
