before the Court of Assizes for the sale and distribution
of emblems of a nature to disturb the public peace.

THE -POLEiI 'IN PO-5E24.—A Frankfort journal gives
the following from Posen; of the 10th inst.:-"The Countess
Kiyileika,, who in childhood ...was the companion of the
Queen OfPrussia, is gone to Berlin, in spite of her grief for
the recent death of her husband, to entreat the King to recal
the ordinance enjoining the Polish refugees to leave the
province. The president of the police, 31. dellinutoli, has
offered his -house to Count'Plater, in case the Government
should-allow him to continue to reside in the province. It is,
however, scarcely probable. that these steps will be attended
'with any degree of success, for the Russian Ambassador lias
declared that his Government has received positive inforina-
'lion that revolutionary-measures were being taken in Poland
and Galicia, and had every reason to apprehend that they
,extended to the Grand Duchy of Posen."

Expressly established for Insurances on the Lives of Mariners,
(whether members of the Royal or Mercantile Navy) and Military
officers.—lt is to be noted that the Policies of this Company will
cover voyages of every description and service iu every.part of the
globe.
The Lives of Fishermen and Boatmen also insured.
High rates of premium hays hitherto operated against this kind of
Assurance, but as the scale now adopted will be found as low as is
consonant with the risk, it is believed that this fact, coupled with
Other advantaaes, will induce a great increase of insurers.
Deferred Annuities to Mariners granted upon very moderate
Premiums.

-
The Premiums for General Assurances are based upon a new ad-
usted table of mortality.
Ten pound per cent. of the profits to be applied in making a provi-

THE MARINERS and GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY.
Expressly ;established -for Insurances on • the Lives of Mariners,
(whether members of the Royal or Mercantile Navy) and Military
omcers.—lt is to be noted that the Policies of this Company will
cover voyages of every description and service in every part o f the
globe.
The Lives of Fishermen and Boatmen also insured.
High rates of premium have hitherto operated against this kind. of
Assurance, but as the scale now adopted will be found as low as Is
consonant with the risk, it is believed that this fact, coupled with
other advantaaee, will induce a great increase of insurers.
Deferred Annuities to Mariners granted upon very moderate
Premiums.

The Premiums for General Assurances are based upon a new ad-
justed table of mortality.
Ten pound per cent. of the profits to be applied in making a provi-
sion for destitute and disabled Mariners.

ADELPHI THEA7RE..

On Monday a burletta, called Anthony and Cleopatra
Married and Settled, was produced at this theatre. This
piece is one of those light and humorous entertainments
which depend for their success more on the individual
exertions of the performers than on any interest attach-
ing to the structure of the plot. Anthony and Cleo-
patra (not the Roman General and the Egyptian Queen,
but a poor tailor and his spouse) fall'out without suffi-
cient reason, and after maintaining a recriminatory dia-
logue, spun out, perhaps, to too great a length, conclude
by becoming more sincerely attached than ever. Tilt se
two characters were sustained by Wright and Miss
Woolgar, who were, in fact, the only performers in the
piece. They celebrated their reconciliation by a dance
en costume, a sort of medley in which the figures of some
of the most popular (lances were introduced. This was
the most diverting part of the performance, and it save
so much satisfaction to the audience that it was unani-
mously encored. The piece, on the whole, was received
with approbation, but might be curtailed with advantage.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.
On Monday the presentation, for the 25th time, of
Mr. Leman Rede's drama of the Profligate opened the
performance. A farce, which has been played with much
success, was then revived for the first time this season;
it is entitled Angels and Lucifers. The anxiously-
expected event of the evening—the revival-4, a piece
founded on the popular tale of " Robinson Crusoe"—
concluded the evening's entertainments. It was in 1817
that this drama was first produced, at Covent-garden
Theatre, it being from the pen of the author of the
favourite drama of the Miller and his Men. It adheres
closely to the tale, with the exception of the incident
that the wife of Robinson Crusoe having left England in
search of him, is placed on shore by the mutinous crew
of the vessel of which her son is the commander, and it
so happens that they fall on the very island where Robin-
son and his man Friday are located.
