The new burletta of A Quiet Day, produced last week

at the Olympic, is a pleasant little piece, on the hackneyed subject of the an. noyances to which a retired merchant is subjcctd by the intrusions of his friends on his wished-for seclusion at his villa. Mr. and Mrs. KEELEY acted the victim and his wife naturally and agreeably, but not in their happiest style. The parts seem to have been written purposely to display the talents of LISTON and Mrs. ORGEa. In the Country Squire, Finiti:N is now quite at home in his new quarters ; but, excel. lent as be is in all he does, his humour and his joints will both require the application of a little oil before he will be able to atone for the ab- sence of his predecessor. The neat little burletta of Truth has afforded Mrs. KEELEY the most favourable opportunity she has had of display- ing her abilities in this theatre. In other respects, the piece is not so well perfortned as it was at the Adelphi, by YATES, 0. Small, and Ileaistieos.
