OLYMPIC THEATRE.-"The Streets Of New York;
q highly splced sensational drama. which some
three years ago occupied the boards Of the olympic
theatre, was revived on Monday evening at thas
establishment, with new scenery and some few OF
the old ravortes In their original roles The story OF
the play, its title implies, is purely local. but
rendered last evening ia decidedly sangy and full
of harsh ncongrulties and eXaggerations. which

customs OF our citizens will find II extremely dlGicut

Certain little liberties have also been taken with tho
dialogue or the piece, with the view, suppose, OF
improving it to suit the times; but the improve
