OLYMPIC.

Last night the Olympic commenced its second
season under the management of Miss Kate Howard,
and no sooner were the doors thrown open than the
house became filled from top to bottom with as noisy
and boisterous an audience as ever was assembled
within the walls of a theatre of the same size and
dimensions. Yet still good-humour prevailed
throughout the whole of the evening, and jokes
passed freely from the pit to the gallery, and from
the gallery to the pit. Perhaps the high and mighty
gods were now and then too severe in their satirical
observations upon the dress and appearance of the
tenantry of the boxes, and even of the performers
themselves. But let these pass ; they were
drowned in the notes of a shrill warbler of the
" Polka," "We may be happy yet," and many
other popular airs with which street orchestras have
familiarised the million. The entertainments com-
menced with La Dame de St. Tropez ; or, The
Poisoner, but the majority of the audience appeared

AGRARIAN OUTRAGES.

LIMERICK, DEC. 24.—As Mr. Connor Cogblan,
steward to Sir Aubrey De Vere, Bart., was returning
from Askeaton on Friday to his residence at Ballina-
mons, within a few miles of Pallaskenry, he was fired
at from behind a ditch. Providentially the assassin's
aim did not take effect; the ball passed through the
sleeve of his riding-coat, slightly grazing his left arm.
This man was attacked on two former occasions, on
which he miraculously escaped being killed.
On Saturday evening, about five o'clock, as a farmer of
the name of James Jones, from near Kilteely, was re-
turning from this city, he was attacked nearly opposite
the county gaol by three men, and knocked down by a
blow of a stone, and cut in two places. They robbed
him of a gun he was taking home after repairs by Mr.
S. Whitaker, of this city. lie reported the outrage to
the Ballysimon police, who made diligent search for the
offenders, but without effect.

A threatening notice was kft on the barn gate of Mr.
Arthur Morris, of Pallaskenry, menacing any landlord
who should demand rent for ground in which black
potatoes grew, or any person who should pay rent for
such ground, or if the did they would be dealt with
according as the beard of conscience may think proper.
On Sunday last the Rev. P. Quaid, P.P. of Clonlea,
county Clare, addressed his flock, first at the chapel of
Oatfield, afterwards at Kilkisken, in consequence of
recent outrages committed borderieg his parish. Ile
pointed out the folly and wickedness of the course pur-
suing by those midnight legislators, and described in
such feeling terms the heartrending scenes which he
himself had witnessed, resulting from similar proceed-
ings, that the greater portion of the congregation were
in t..ars. A more forcible appeal to the feelings of an
audience, we are assured, was never delivered. This is
not the first time we were led to record the Rev. Gentle-
men's exertions to check outrage.
On Tuesday last, a threatening letter, bearing the
Ca tleconnel postmark, and a death's head and coffin,
was received by Cornelius Connors, a tenant to David J.
Wilson, Esq., on the lands of Coolassey, orderinc, him to
quit his farm within three days, or to mark the conse-
quence, if he disobeyed Tipperary men's orders." On
the same evening, Neagle's house, on Ballycullen, was
attacked. The same party visited the houses of Martin
M'Nainara and M.Ma.bon, tenants to John Gabbett, of
Castlelake, Esq., from each of whom a gun was tak€n.
Saturday night an armed party forced open the pound
at Bridgetown, County Clare, and turned out all the
cattle under seizure for rent.—Limerick Chronicle.
'1 he Irish Lord Chancellor gave his usual entertain-
ments after Michaelmas Term to the judges of the
Irish bar, without party distinction. On Saturday his
Lordship entertained Sir Thomas Fremantle, Chief
Justice Doherty, the Chief Baron, Baron Lefroy, Judge
Keatinge, and °tilers of the judges, together with several
Queen's counsel, including Mr. Hatchell, Mr. G. Bennett,
Mr. Monaghan, Mr. R, Moore, Mr. Holmes, &c. Sub-

THE MAMMOTH HORSE.

Mr. Carter's Mammoth Horse, known as " General
Washington," has been the wonder of the month in
London, and judging from the crowds of ladies and
gentlemen who have flocked to the Egyptian Hall
during the past fortnight to see this colossal animal,
we predict that few exhibitions in the metropolis will
be so well patronised during the holidays. This horse
is admired by every visitor, not only for his immense
size and fine proportions, but for his remarkable doci-
lity, as ladies and children freely approach him, and
he has been petted so much by them, that he invari-
ably looks to the fair sex for a biscuit or piece of cake.
We learn that Mr. Carter intends to embark for the
United States shortly, for the purpose of exhibiting
his gigantic horse in that country ; therefore we advise
the wonder-loving world to see this animal imme-
diately.

COVENT-GARDEN.

Last evening M. Jullien commenced what he terms
the " prolongation of his annual concerts," with great
eclat The overture (King Lear), by Berlioz, was
splendidly performed, and rapturously applauded, as
was, of course, Beethoven's symphony in C minor,
which followed. Signor Camillo Sivori performed
Paganini's surprising duet for two violins (without
accompaniment) in a style which excited an admi-
ration of the mechanical power attained by the pupil,
and the curious ingenuity and tireless perseverance
of the master, whilst it raised some regret that so
much taste and industry were employed to such un-
important ends. The clever, but anomalous work
was, however, applauded to the echo, and vehemently
encored. The New Polka, suggested by Mr.
Dickens's Christmas Fairy Tale, The Cricket, on the
Hearth,, was in the highest degree successful. The
composition displays great ingenuity and musical
tact. The British Navy Quadrilles and the Irish
Echoes filled up the remainder of a very delightful

.performers, Richardson, Barrett,
Beauman, Sonnenberg, and Koenig, were honoured
with as hearty expressions of approbation as their
warmest admirers could wish for.

STRAND THEATRE.
A numerous audience assembled here to greet M.
Philippe on his return from his provincial tour, and
the mighty magician, by a mere wave of his wand,
performed transformations in comparison with which
the tricks of pantomimes are but as mere matters of
every-day life. We believe that during the holidays
it is the intention of M. Philippe to give a series of
morning performances, and we know not where our
young friends can spend a morning more agreeably
than with the mysterious M. Philippe.

RHEUMATISM. All those suffering from
Rheumatism, Chilblains, Lumbago, Tie-Dolorenx, Cramp,
Sprains, &c., will find immediate relief and a speedy cure by using
CORRALL'S EMBROCATION. The great and inci easing demand
for this novel Embrocation induces the proprietor to introduce it
more generally to the public, satisfied that one trial alone will be
sufficient to convince the most sceptical of its superiority over all
other articles offered for similar purposes.
Sold in betties at Is. 11,6 d., 25., and 2s. 9d. each, by the Sole Pro-
prietor, George Richardson, 12, No,land-place, Notting-hill, and

BitussELs, DEC. .23.-The average price of wheat
in the week ending on Saturday, the 20th D
was 23f. 81c., and that of rye 18f. 33c.
The exportation of wheat flour is now permitted
on the payment of a duty of 25 centimes per 1,000
kilogrammes. Mr. Hart has just completed a medal
of very large size, which will be struck in a few
days, in commemoration of the passage of the Queen
of England to and from Germany. On one side is
the head, which is an admirable likeness, with the
inscription, " Victoria, reine d'Angleterre ;" on the
reverie, round the arms of the city of Antwerp, i►t
the style of the renaissance " Debarquement de la
Iteine, 10 Aout, enbarquement 6 Septembre. Anvers,
1845." The execution is no less remarkable than
the likeness.
A letter from Antwerp of the 22d informs us that
the Princess Victoria steamer, which left London on
Sunday morning, at ten o'clock, did not reach Ant-
were till six o'clock on Monday afternoon, in conse-
quence of the bad weather. She had on board thirty
passengers, among whom was Mr. Janssen, of the
department of foreign affairs, with dispatches for the
Government.

The Senate, in its sitting of to-day, heard several
reports. Baron Stapart presented a report o❑ the
supplementary credits for the budget of the public
,lebt and the dotation, aul on that for the department
of j ustice.

DURHAM AGRICULTURAL PROTECTION SOCIETY.
In accordance with the recommendation of the Central Society,
a meeting of the committee of the above society took place at
the Rose and Crown, Durham, on the 19th inst., when it was
unanimously resolved to take immediate steps for calling a
meeting of the whole body of agricultural protectionists in
the county, at the earliest possible day. Most unreserved,
censure was heaped on Sir Robert Peel, and that, too, by
many who had formerly been his staunchest supporters. Mr.

ROYAL ADELAIDE GALLERY.

There was no material change in the series of in-
structive entertainments at this favourite Institution
yesterday ; but the hall was crowded to excess both
at the morning and evening lectures and exhibitions.
The very admirable tableaux vivans presented by
Keller and his corps plastiquex have been already
noticed in detail in the columns of The Sun, and
were last evening favoured with more than usual ex-
pressions of wonder and delight. Notwithstanding
the unfavourable state of the weather, M. Claudet was
eminently successful in producing a great number of
Daguerrotype portraits. On the whole, we have never
seen a more gratified or a happier assemblage than
that which yesterday thronged the hall and galleries
of this beautiful temple of practical science.

PRINCESS'S

Mr. Maddox, eschewing burlesque extravaganza,
has this year possessed himself of the Key of the
Kingdom of pantomime, and has unlocked the said
kingdom, and displayed its treasures to the great
entertainment and delight of his numerous patrons.
This, the first pantomime ever produced at the
Princess's, and likewise, if we mistake not, the first
pantomimic production of Mr. Emden, is so excel-
lent, that we hope that gentleman will continue to
explore the unknown regions of the kingdom, the
key of which he has discovered, and "report progress"
at the Princess's every Christmas. The introductory
scenes of the Key of the Kingdom, or Rarlequin and
Fairy Blue Bell, are laid in the great capital of the
great kingdom of the king of Great Gumption (Mr.
S. Smith), who rules over the vast regions compre-
I hended within the territories of the Isles of Skyaria.
I Great Gumption is all powerful and all learned, and
1 all vast, but there is another more powerful than he,
Dan Cupid bight, and to him even Great Gumption is
compelled to pay allegiance. He loves, but
alack! his love is not returned ; he, however,
obtains possession of the person of the lady,
and having brought her to his kingdom, has ponderous
gates to his kingdom erected, and a ponderous lock
made, and a ponderous key forged, with which he
locks up his kingdom, so securely, as be things, that
he may bid defiance to the powers of the world to
release his captive. The forging of this key, with
which the pantomime opens, is a very excellent scene.
But Love laughs at locksmiths, and Prince Fogle, the
affianced ofthe captive lady, the Princess Prettyface, by
the assistance of theFairyßlueßell, obtains a magic saw,
which will saw through the ponderous gates. The
enchanted grotto of theFairyßlueßell, which forms the
second scene of the pantomime, is a marvel of exqui-
site taste and colouring. The next scene is before the
ponderous gates, and there is a vast deal of broad bur-
lesque in this scene. One hit at the F. M.
(funny man that he is) was loudly applauded.
Great Gumption finds one, of his soldiers
smoking a short pipe, and in order to mark his dis-
pleasure thereat takes the pipe from the delinquent
and smokes it out himself. The fourth scene is a
bird's-eye view of the kingdom of Great Gumption,
and is a beautifully fanciful gem of art. Here the
transformation takes place, and we have Mr. Harvey
as Harlequin, Miss Bullin as Columbine, Mr. T.
Hill as Pantaloon, and Flexmore, most active, hu-
morous, and flexible of grotesques, as Clown.
There was of course a cry among the gods for "Hot
Codlins," but Flexmore, to his credit be it spoken,
refused to comply, but instead he played " Auld Lang
Syne" upon a penny trumpet, and certainly it was
one of the most laughter-moving performances that
can well be imagined. The tricks are good, and the
harlequinade is well kept up, the whole concluding
with a scene of the most dazzling brilliancy, the Fairy
Home, where of course all are made happy. The
house was crowded to suffocation, and the applause
was throughout hearty and continuous.

LONDON, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 97, 1845.

The greatest bustle and activity, it is said,
in our docks and naval yards ; measures for having at
command a large fleet whenever it may be wanted
are adopted in every quarter ; ships are repaired, en-
gines for steam-vessels are ordered to be made within
a limited period, and every symptom in these respects
leads to the belief that the present Administration
are resolved to " assert British rights, and prepared
to maintain them." All the inanimate materiel of
large and powerful fleets, in fact, is in the most for-
ward state of preparation, but how vain and decep-
tive the best built ships are, without they are pro-
perly manned, and plans are formed for supplying
deficiencies, the events of the last war, and, indeed, of
every war with France, for more than a hundred
years, have sufficiently convinced our enterprising and

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.

It was in the highest degree gratifying to observe
the growing tendency of the public to combine intel-
lectual improvement with holiday sports, which was
yesterday illustrated by the crowded attendance of
holiday visitors at the Polytechnic Institution. From
the hour of opening to the close, the company were
not for a minute less in number than 3,000, and every
object of curiosity in art or science was viewed even
by the youngest and humblest visitor with an evident
spirit of inquiry, which proves that the Institution,
great and magnificent as it is, has by no means
preceded the intelligence of the times. The
interesting and instructive lectures of Professor
Bachhoffner, and Dr. Ryan were listened to with
profound attention, and were invariably followed by
loud and earnest expressions of delight, which showed
that the vast and varied talents of those learned gen-
tlemen were appreciated by their unpretending
auditors. No one could come away from the lee-
ture•room without being improved in knowledge and
usefulness. The diversified experiments in national
philosophy were occasionally disturbed by bursts of
merriment, as when a timid lath, or a self-confident
squire from north or south, screamed or bellowed
under the first experience of an electric shock. The
music, under the direction of Dr. Wallis, was beauti-
fully effective.

THE LETTERS OPENING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—A finis comes when men " speak their minds." 'I as
time has arrived for consistent Tories to utter their sentiments
about the conduct of the present Government in their alnmc at
wholesale letters opening; they confess it was too bad, and.
that the " great fact" will always stick to the character of
the men now in power.
Many entertain the opinion that Letters opening in Ih.
Secret 'Office was not confined to those letters where Sir ,T 4
Graham's warrants were issued. Be that, however, as it may,
the present Government have earned no enviable reputati9a
through their Paul Pry spy practices. It is a dark blot at*
upon our national character.

NARROW li.:scArE.—FivE LIVES SAVED.--Cn
Tuesday afternoon, about three o'clock, as a waterman.
named White, was conveying six passengers in his boat )1
the Old Swan Pier, near London-bridge, the Watem-aat
steamer No. 3, being about to embark passengers upon ti
pier, took White's boat in the starboard quarter with Ler
larboard sponson, and immediately the whole of White's pas•
sengers, one of them being a woman with a child in Ler
arms, were immersed itt the river and struggling for life. '1 Le
excitement on the shore was indescribable, as one of the male
passengers swam to land, whilst the other five alternately
sunk and rose in the water, the woman with the child clasp•
ing her infant to her bosom, holding it above the eddy wilt
all a mother's instinct. Thomas Norcott, a waterman Le.
longing to the Lower Tunnel Pier, Wapping, with great serf.
possession, though at a considerable risk, shoved his kat
astern of the steamer, and by great and praiseworthy exer.
tion succeeded in rescuing the whole party from impending
death. He first turned his attention to the woman with hm
child, whom, together with another, he placed safely in tike
head of his boat; but,. whilst picking up the others, he ne,..
rowly escaped swamping, as the water several times flowed
over the gunwale. Great credit is due to Norcott for the

of England circulation of 201,0341., in Private Banks of 403,2431.,
Joint-stock Banks of 311,5821., being a total decrease in England of
915,8591., while in Scotland there is an increase of 278,6551., and in

LONDON, SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1845.

The House of Lords met at Five o'clock.
On the motion of Lord MONTEAGLE, certain returns
relating to the sugar duties were ordered.

The Lou CHANCELLOR then moved the second read-
ng of the Bail in Error Bill.

Lord CAMPBELL said that he had himself introduced
this very Bill last session, when it had been opposed
by the Lord Chancellor, who now himself proposed it.
After a few words from the Marquis of LANSDOWNE,
Lord BROBGITA3I, and Lord DENMAN, the Bill was read
a second time.

The Earl of DALHOUSIE presented returns from the
Railway Department of the Board of Trade, and the
House adjourned

The House of Commons met at Four o'clock.

Mr. W. B. BARING took the oaths and his seat for
Thetford ; and Mr. C. TOWER took the oaths and his
seat for the county of Bucks.
After the presentation of various petitions,

Sir T.' FREMANTLE: said it was the intention of the
Government, to introduce a measure on the subject of
mixed marriages in Ireland.
Mr. ROCHE, who had come all the way from Ireland
for the purpose, was about to put a question to Mr.
ROEBUCK on the subject of his statement that the Irish
Members had run away from their posts, when he was
interrupted by the SPEAKER, who informed him that it
was irregular to allude to a debate which had taken
place during the present session.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE then rose to direct the attention of
the House to the proceedings of the Post-office officials
in opening his letters. At the time that he had pre-
sented M. MAZZINI'S petition last year, he had no idea
that his own letters had been opened, and ;t was only
