OLYMPIC THEATRE.

Another very amusing little piece was produced here on
Wednesday evening, under the title of P. Q., or Bachelors'
Wives. The humour turns on an advertisement for a wife by
Sir Carraway Comfit, bachelor and confectioner, and the
ruses practised by his niece, Kitty Camelean, to cure him of
his folly, which she effects by personating a variety of annoy_
ing applicants. Mrs. ORGER, who sustained this part, fully
bore out the name given to it ; her changes of character are
among the best and most perfect we have ever witnessed. The
country boor is especially good, and elicited shouts of laugh-
ter ; and her personation of the French coquette is quite as
effective in another style. Mrs. ORGER has always had the repu-
tation of a very sliver actress, but we own we had scarcely
looked for the talent and tact she displays in this little piece.
Her last character is that of an Irish officer, who challenges
Sir Carraway for a slight put upon one of the ladies. The
whole concludes by the offer of Captain Gorgct (Mr. RAY_
morn), a suitor of Miss Camcleon, to rid the confectioner of
the quarrelsome officer and the several other troublesome ap-
plicants, by marrying them all himself. The piece was emi-
nently successful. Our old friends The Olympic Devils are as
spirited and laughter-moving as ever; they have made 1t24
appearances, and are still general favourites.

The late Viscountess Dowager DUNCAN,
whose dissolution we announced yesterday, was, before
her marriage with the renowned Admiral, Viscount
DuNcaN, Miss DUNDAS, daughter of the Right Hon. R.
DUNDAS, Lord President of the Court of Session, and
M.P. for Edinburgh county, elder brother of the first
Vi count MELVILLE. The issue of her marriage with
Lord DUNCAN was two sons and five daughters, viz.,
the present Earl of CAMPERDOWN and the Hon. Captain
DUNCAN, the Ladies HUGH DALRYMPLE HAMILTON,
JOHN HAMILTON DALRYMPLE, J. FEROUSSON, the
Hon. Mrs. J. DuNows, and the Hon. CATHERINE DUN-

husband 28 years.
NEW BANKING ESTABLISHMXNT.—Mr.
ALEXANDER BARING, the celebrated merchant and banker
of London, is, we understand, about to establish a bank
in Dublin, upon a plan altogether new in this country ;
the principle of which is to lend money upon deposit and
transfer of bonds, judgments, and other securities. The
late banking establishment of Messrs. FINLAY and Co.
was negotiated for as a fit situation for the purpose,but the
idea has been abandoned. Mr. St. GEORGE GREGG is,
we understand, to be appointed secretary, Mr. BOYLE
manager. The Messrs. LAToucNE, it is said, are to be
connected with the concern.—Steward'aDublinDespatch.
Great rejoicings are expected to take place
on Tuesday next, at Petworth, to celebrate the Slat an-
niversary of the birth of the venerable Earl of EGREMONT.
The Earl and Countess of MUNSTER have quitted Pet-
worth, and are now sojourning at their house in Belgrave-
street.

We yesterday received some further accounts
from the Cape de Verdes, which mention that the utmost
distress continued to prevail there. In Cravo and Fogo
no less than 200 individuals bad perished from the priva-
tions they were compelled to undergo.

This city continues to be the focus of political excite-
ment, raised, not only within its own precincts, by the
College and City elections, but throughout the county, by
the struggle now going forward. The whole county may
at this moment be said to be divided into three parties—
the Moderates, the Liberals, and the Conservatives ; the
first of them having arisen lately out of the extremes or
excesses in'o which the other two had indulged. It is to
be regretted that this moderate party has not more of that
quality, " action," which the ancient orator so much re-
commended. If they had, they are respectable enough in
numbers, and certainly in property and influence, to rendet
the country some service. As the matter now stands, thei
result of the contest going on will not he such as to tran-
quillize the country; though there is no doubt that it will
terminate, generally, in favour of liberty and the people's
rights. But O'Connell and his submissive followers are
attempting so many things under the name of " liberty'.
and the " cause of Ireland," that many of the more cod
and reasonable Liberals and Whigs desert him, and, id
some instances, j .in his adversarie-. His return for this
city is, however, pretty secure; there was a majority for
him and Ruthven yesterday, which is likely to increase
rill the end of the poll.- I have already informed you tile.
Government lends its influence to the Conservative candi.,
dates for the city. This circumstanee has induced some
of the Moderates to vote for O'Connell, who otherwise
would not have done so, under the impression that any
party is preferable to the old ascendancy faction, which
Earl Grey and Lord Anglesea had nearly annihilated.
Government will, however, be taxed, and are already so,
with inconsistency, for supporting Conservatives in the
city, and Liberals in college.

The scenes in College are scandalous ! Mr. Crampton
continued to speak there this morning for three hours,
amid groans, hisses, and every species of interruption
from the College lads, few of whom are voters. In fact,
his opponents are likely to repent the zeal of those parti-
sans, who have behaved in the most indecent manner.
They proceeded to violence in some in.tances, striking
the Rev. Mr. Wray, one of the Fellows of the University,
and making a similar attempt on Byrne, the senior seho•
lar, both friends of the Solicitor-General and Mr. Pon-
sonby. Orange flags and "No Popery" placards were
-ent about in profusion !
The contest in Carlow town and county is expected to be
of such a nature as to require the presence of the military
in every hamlet and village.
