The Olympic reopened on Saturday, with the School for Scandal;

the Princess's on Monday, with Henry VIII. Each has inaugurated its sea- son by producing a very indifferent specimen of the genus farce. At the Olympic, an unmeaning extravaganza consisting of a number of impro- bable incidents supposed to occur in a extravaganza, fair, served to introduce one of Mr. Robson's most celebrated songs. At the Princess's, a version of one of the weakest French vaudevilles rose, as it were, in rivalry of the truly British insipidity of Wych Street. The respective names of these two choice preductioaa are Catchiny o Mermaid, and Don't Judge by 4ppear- 4incee4
