"Universally and cordially do we recommend this delightful volume. Impressed with the genuine spirit of Christianity; a diary, as it were, of the feelings, hopes, and sorrows, of a clergyman's family,it comes liome to all, either on sympathy or example. It is a beautiful picture of a religious household, influencing to excellence all within its sphere. We believe no young person could read this work, and not be the better for its pious and touching lessons. It is a page taken from the book of life, and eloquent with all the instruction of an excellent pattern: it is a commentary on the affectionate warning Remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth.

CHIT-CHAT FROM PETERHEAD.-It is rumoured, but probably with little foundation, that Strichen House, in the Buchan district of Aberdeenshire, and the property of Mr Fraser of Lovat, is at present fitting up for the future residence of Charles the Tenth of Bourbon, the Ex-King of France.-Although two of our ships engaged in the Whale Fishery, which is one of the staple supports of Peterhead, have been wrecked at Davis' Straits, Peterhead still possesses a greater number of whalers than any other town in Scotland. -Our townsman, Mr Peter Buchan's new book, announced in the last Number of the Journal, is to be dedicated to the memories of his late Majesty King George the Fourth, and his Royal Highness the Duke of York.-A vessel, laden with government stores for Fort George, has lately arrived unexpectedly in the Moray Frith, from Deptford.

Theatrical Gossip.-The opening of our own Theatre Royal has this week engrossed our attention exclusively. This event was first announced for Monday, but, though the workmen were employed night and day, it was found that the house could not be ready, as we conjectured in our last, before Wednesday. Even then the workmen were busy to the last moment, and went out at six in the evening only to make room for the audience. In a few minutes the Theatre was quite full. Every thing within is new; the general effect is light and elegant-perhaps rather too light for a winter theatre, there being a want of depth and richness. The new drop-scene, by Roberts, consisting principally of a view of Edinburgh, embracing the new High School, North Bridge, and Castle, was received with much applause, and deserves it. There is also a new grand central lustre, fully larger and more elegant that its predecessor. Among the new scenery, we were most pleased with a street view, an excellent forest, and a library. On the drawing up of the curtain, the whole company were discovered, and God save the King was sung, which, however, went off flatly. Miss Jarman then delivered the following Address, written, we believe, by Mr Murray:

Thank fortune, here I am again-but such a fright
I've had on your account, kind friends, to-night!-
For all, like Hamlet, is so changed of late,
And so much alter'd from its former state,
I really thought my man had gone astray,
And that my absence would keep back the play:
(On the first night of the new patent, too,)
Scenes, Dresses, Lustres, Theatre, all new-
All ready, all prepared for the beginning,—
In my mind's ear I heard the Prompter ringing→
Then the dread pause, and then the rising riot,
Heard the poor Manager, to keep you quiet,
Crying, 'midst catcalls, orange peels, and hissing,
**Ladies and Gentlemen, Juliana's missing."

In agony, I scream'd, “You've gone too far, man;"
But Coachee answer'd, "Na, na, I'm right, Miss Jarman.-
Don't be afear'd, Ma'am, there's not no deception;
Or if you think so, judge by your reception."
And now once in, I own my doubts to blame,
Though much is changed, I feel you're still the same.
My willing duty paid, I trust I may
Look round, and take a general survey.
Upon my word I think the thing 's improved;
For though some parts are alter'd, some removed,
I'm sure no member of our Commons would

Balance his seat against the general good.
And to plead boldly for my client-you

Will own hereafter what I say is true,

That though our Manager has faults in plenty,

Exceeding those of nineteen men in twenty,

Mere parsimony is not amongst his vices;

Witness our Theatre, then read our prices —(Great applause.)

Well, then, you'll own those prices have been sent

Down to the lowest peace establishment.

Not so his soldiers! like King Richard, they

Are all in arms, and eager for the fray!
The Ladies also, who, in line array'd,
Compose a pretty petticoat brigade,

Sound men and true-in duty stanch and fervent,
For an example, take your humble servant.
As for our grenadiers, the men, I leave the elves
To stand the brunt and battle for themselves;
One thing alone I beg, as some are brought
Fresh importations to your fand, just caught,—
Lighten their duties give them ready clearance,
Granting fair drawbacks for a first appearance :-
But their alarms are vain-I know with you
The name of stranger is a pusse par tout.
And now, I'd leave you, but the opening speech
Some inkling of our policy should teach:
Then know, my Lords and Gentry, we remain

On terms of amity with Drury Lane:

From Covent Garden also have been sent
"Lines of fair comfort and encouragement.”

If you approve it-May I ask your hands ?—(Immense cheering.)
We have your voices, and my task is o'er.

Your favouring breath shali waft our bark from shore, And wish the good ship well, with-One cheer more. Miss Jarman was received on her appearance with tremendous ap plause, which was frequently repeated during the Address. The "Honey Moon" followed, in which we had no fewer than seven new appearances,-Waldron as the Duke Aranza, Green as Rolando, Brindall as the Count Montalban, Roberts as Belthazar, Mason as Lampedo, Miss M. Penley as Samora, and Mrs Charles Pettingall as Volante. The audience was in good humour, and every body was well received. Mason's return was hailed with great delight. A petite ballet succeeded, in which Miss O'Bryan, a pretty girl and accomplished opera-dancer, made her debut. The performances concluded with the farce called "Of Age To-morrow," in which Mrs Charles Pettingall sang "The Soldier's Tear," in a style that secured a rapturous encore. Murray was then called for, that the audience might testify to him once more the sense they entertainedof the exertions he had been making. This they had already done to a considerable extent, for, when he entered as the Mock Duke, in the "Honey Moon, "the whole audience stood up, and amidst deafening shouts, there was a waving of hats and handkerchiefs, which continued for several minutes. When Mr Murray came forward, on the falling of the curtain, he made a short speech, the main point in which was, that, highly flattered as he was by the ap plause he had received, he had not yet done nearly all that he inteuded to do for the Edinburgh stage, which he was determined to make. at all events, the first out of London.-On Thursday evening Miss Turpin made her first appearance as Polly, in the " Beggar's Opera." It was a highly successful debut. Miss Turpin is a very pretty and lady-like girl; she has a clear, rich, and sweet voice, a chaste style, and a good deal of expression. She bids fair to become a favourite:-she is the only first female singer we have had worth talking of since Miss Noel left us, whom she resembles a good deal in manner. We wished to have had an article from OLD CERBERUS this week, but, on applying to him, he told us that he did not choose to speak till he could speak with decision; and that he had not yet had enough of time to make up his mind on the merits of those whose fate he is to determine. He promises, however, positively to make his bow for the season next Saturday.

TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS.

WE shall notice the Olive Branch for 1831 next Saturday.

We are obliged to our friend in Wellington Place, Leith, for his good wishes, but it is impossible that we can review books published so far back as the Guide to the Study of Revelation."-When Thomas Dodds writes to us again, let his letter be post-paid.-A Correspondent is very anxious that we should state that the Times newspaper of Thursday, last week, contained seven hundred and sixty-two advertisements-a tolerable proof that the Times is in a thriving way.-William Mackay's communications are under consideration. We thank our friend at Dollar for his good wishes; his communications are always acceptable.We are afraid "The Three Foolish Brahmins, from the Italian," will hardly suit us-it lies at our publishers'.

We regret to hear of the death of the Rev. John Ballantyne, the ingenious author of the "Examination of the Human Mind;" but the Verses to his Memory, from Forres, appear too exclusively the dictates of private friendship, and would scarcely interest the public in general." Thoughts of an Absent One" shall have a place, and we shall be glad to receive from the author, at his best convenience,' the poem proposed.-The "Song" from West Houses lies over for insertion.-The Lines "On Home," and "To Miss M. A." and the stanzas of "F. D." will scarcely suit us.
