OLYMPIC THEATRE.

Last night the interesting drama, Tune Tries All,
was presented at this theatre, for the debut of Miss
Clarissa Doris, in the character of Laura Leeson.
Miss Doria is possessed of much histrionic ability,
combined with natural taste and appreciation. Her
manner of acting is free and unconstrained, and the
absence of all timidity gives to it a reality and truth-
fulness which cannot fail to have their due effect. In
addition to these qualifications she is remarkable for
her personal attractions. She yesterday evening
rendered the part of the wayward Laura with an
ease and elegance which evinced that she had
studied the character attentively, and was
determined to do it all justice. In the open-
ing portions of the drama her light, gay air, and the
merry ringing peals of laughter into which she ever
and anon burst forth, reminded the auditor most for-
cibly of the fascinating Mrs. Nisbett. In the second
act, when remorse and regret take the place of former
forwardness, the fair and youthful actress threw into
her manner a feeling and taste worthy of the highest
commendation. She was loudly applauded throughout.
The other portions of the drama were carefully given
by Mr. Howard, Matthew Bates; Mr. Rogerson,
Mr. Leeson Mr. 11. Lee, the Hon. Colonel Jawn ;
Mr. H. J. lurner, Tom Tact, a character which he
rendered 'uslY ; Mrs. H. J. Turner;

these characters were played by Mr. Phelps, Mr.
Waller (an,actor new„to the London stage), and Miss
Glyn, and their combined efforts tended to give full
effect to all the leading features of the piece. Of the
play itself it is almost superfluous to speak in critical
terms. It may, however, be stated that the Legend
of Florence is a play of purely domestic interest, and
its object is to show to what extrerneties a husband
may be driven by an infirmity of temper,
rendered more intolerant by the meddling interfer
ence of his wife's friends. The scenes in which
Francesco Agalante, the hero of the play, and his
gentle wife Genevra take the most prominent part,
are fraught with numerous points of affecting interest,
and the attention of the audience is constantly ex-
cited by the reflection that the characters before them
are not " the mere fiction of a poets dream," but are
such as may too often be met with in our every-day
existence. The story, in its gradual and poetic deve-
lopment, appeared to be fully understood and appre-
ciated, and the result of the performance gave abun-
ant proof that the management of this theatre con-
tinues to be marked by judgment and good taste.

in the principal part of the town fur business—the High-
street. The property destroyed is so great, the liabilities of
the insurers so extensive, and
fires in this town so remarkable, that the inhabitants, the
insurers, and the public in general, are perfectly justified in
a period of six or seven years, of such sweeping
their anxiety for an inqairy. The coroner has fixed this day
for the inquest.
