      HENRY RUSSELL ( from America ) will give his VOCAL and PICTORIAL ENTERTAINMENT , entitled the FAR WKST , or the Emigrant ' s Progress from the Old World to the New , at the Royal Olympic Theatre , commencing-on Monday , April 14 , and four successive nights . Mr . Russell will introducehisnew compositions— " The parting tear ;' " Cheer , boys , cheer ; no more of idle sorrow ; " " Gaily g-oes the ship when the wind blows fair ; " "Land , land , to the west , to the west , to the land of the free ; " " The Falls of Niagara , " &c , and several of his favourite compositions . The principal features of this entertainment are by no mean 3 intended to be looked up > n solely in the lisjht of a mere entertaining ' exhibition . It is intended to instruct as well ns to amuse ; and to instruct , moreover , in one of the most profoundly and practically important subjects-which can be ofl ' e'ed to the notice of the English people . The succession of pictures , constituting the Exhibition , are no mere fancy sketches . They do not represent set nes which few or none save rich tourists or professional travellers can ever hope to visit . They do not appeal to the limited interest or the partial knowledge which may he found to exist among certain classes , with reference to the architectural beauties or the historic associations of the countries delineated ; on the contrary , they are thoroughly practical pictures—transcripts from the daily lives of hundreds ol thousands of our countrymen and womenrepresenting' scenes which hundreds of thousands more are thinking of encountering—scenes in which practicable and reliable information is always in eager demand—scenes , in fact , appealing directly to the deepest interests and most cherished prospects of the multitudes who are daily making up their minds to seek liettT fortunes and brighter clays upon the boundless plainti , and by the clear broad rivers of the West . Mr . Kussell will perform upon Messrs . Kiikman and SonV Cirand Fonda I'iano . Doors open at Half-past Seven , to commence at Kif ; lit o ' clock .
