OLYMPIC THEATRE.

Last night a new domestic. drama of an interesting nature,
and with something more than fair pretentious to merit, was
produced at this theatre, under the title of Mark Freeland.
The language is not of a very forcible character, but the situa-
tions strong, and in some eases poeerful. Mr. Rayner, who
has been so long and so injudiCiously absent from the London
theatres, assumed the hero, an impassioned rustic, imbued with
strong feelings ; and never did we see him to greater advantage.
His powerful bursts of passion, and his subdued pathos, were
alike true to nature, and tested the feelings of his auditory with
great effect, who frequently rewarded him with plaudits long
and loud. The manager has shownsboth taste and tact in the
engagement, which will assuredly prove a source of profit to him.
A Miss Mitchell, from the United States, sustained the
heroine; she is rather a pretty actress and also a pretty
woman. Mr. Fitzjames bustled through a penny-a4iner with
amusing eccentricity, which should have been done by Wild.
At the conclusion of the piece the applause became tumultuous,
and there was a vehement call through the whole house for
Rayner, who ultimately appeared before the curtain to an.
nounce the piece for every evening till further notice.
