OLYMPIC THEATRE.

The new aquatic melodrame, entitled " Casco
flay,' or the Mutineers of 1727," is really a very
superior performance. The incidents throughout
are interesting, without being' outrageous, and turn
chiefly on the mutiny of a ship's crew, who combine
to murder a rich passenger, hut are subsequently
wrecked, which last incident-is brought before the
audience in a truly surprising and spirited mariner.
An apparently full-sized ship, with a numerous crew
on board, founders under the very nose of the au-
dience, and went down last night scarce twelve
inches off an old woman who was selling bottled
porter in the pit. In addition to this glorious ship-
wreck, a Mr. Richards, while singing a comic song,
"makes faces, humorous and varied enough to set up
six full-fledged clowns for life. It is on record that
Lucian died of laughter at seeing a donkey cat
thistles; could he by any possibility get a "day
rule" from tbe shades for the purpose of seeing Mr.
Richards, the sight would kill his very ghost.—
" Come then expressive silence, muse his praise."

COPY OF A LETTER TO TIIE RIGHT DON. THE LORD MAYOR,

Whitehall, Dec. 4.

My L'rd,—l have to request your Lordship's attention
to a subject connected with the character of the police of
the metropolis, and therefore one of general importance.
Your Lordship is aware that it has for some days past
been generally and confidently stated, that after a robbery
of great magnittide of property belonging to the Warwick
Bank, the property so lost has been recovered through the
agency of a police-officer, who is charged with being guilty
of compounding a felony.
From the inquiries which I have hitherto bear enabled
to make, it does not appear that there is any foundation for
such a charge, as applied to the police-officers attached to
'any of the establishments in Westminster. but conceiving
it to be of the utmost importance that it should not past
unnoticed, and that if the charge is true the guilty party
should be brought to justice, I have directed a lettei to he
addressed to the Magistiates of the several police-offices, de-
siring., them immediately to make further and strict inquiry
into 'the conduct of their officers with reference to such im-
putations, and to report to me the result of their inquiry.
I would also beg leave to suggest to your Lordship the
expe4ietico of directing that a similar inquiry should be
instituted with regard to the conduct of the officers of the
police of the city of London, if such a measure has not
been already adopted. And if, on such inquiry, it should
be proved that any police-officer has been implicated,
directly or indirectly,
in the transaction above alluded to,
I have to request that your Lordship will make known to
me the circumstances of the case, that proper measures
may be taken against the offender.—I have, &c.
(Signed) LANSDOWNE.
