At the Olympic, a new farce entitled Crinoline has been

produced, with the extraordinary qualification of originality. A wife, ordering a crino- line petticoat to be made unknown to her husband, adopts a mysterious course, that is mischievously interpreted by a maid-servant, who also wears crinoline, and uses the wide-spreading garment as an expedient for carrying of her master's property. The story is not worth much, but the dialogue, pointed and characteristic, does no discredit to Mr. R. Brough.
