The week just ended has been the reverse of fertile in theatrical inci- dents. A poor melodrame, of a very common school, has been produced at the Olympic, with the title Of _Life in Australia; containing one or two tolerably effective tableaux illustrative of a digger's career. But all that is striking in this piece has been done in a still more striking manner in the drama of Gold, which was brought out at Drury Lane SOMO weeks ago.

Edgard el sa Bernie, a Parisian novelty of last year's growth, which lutist ludicrously points out the misfortunes that may arise in a family where one of the sons falls in love with one of the domestics, has afforded One part more for M. Ravel ; whose engagement, at St. James's, ceasing tonight, has lasted just long enough for Royalty to bestow a smile upon his humour. The appearance of Mademoiselle Luther, of the Gymnase, is announced for Monday.
