PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

The opera, or more properly speaking vaudeville,
of Love in a Village, was revived at this theatre last
evening, in order to give Miss Harland an opportu-
nity of appearing in the character of Rosetta. Miss
Harland was evidently very nervous at first, but
notwithstanding her nervousness she went through
the part very creditably, and when she becomes more
used to the stage she will be able to do better things
than Rosetta. Mr. Charles Braham was :the Haw-
thorn, and reminded us very much of his father in
that part. He sang " There was a jolly miller once,"
and "My dog and my gun" admirably, and was encored
in both songs. The other characters were well sup-
ported. The entertainments concluded with Midas,
with Miss Poole as Apollo. She is the best Apollo
that has appeared since the days of Miss Love. In
" Pray Goody" she was three times encored, and was
rapturously applauded in all her other songs. Miss
Poole's Apollo has created quite a furore.

THE LATE MR. M'Derf ouG H.—Deceased was a
native of Portumna, in the county of Galway, where he
at ene period of his life farmed a large quantity of land,
but having had property bequeathed to him by a relative
in England, he came over to this country, where he lived
as a private gentleman, and for many years kept a racing
stud at Melton. Ile was well known as what is termed
in sporting circles " a gentleman rider," and was brother
to Mr. Allen M‘Donough, who is celebrated as even a
more bold and intrepid horseman than the uufortunate
deceased. Both were for many years members of the
Turf Club in Ireland, and were highly esteemed for their
courage and straightforward conduct. Deceased was in
the habit of riding at Howth Park, Heaton Park, and
Croxton Park. His forte, however, was steeple-chase
riding; and he won the Leamington Steeple Chase in
1839, on Lord Macdonald's celebrated mare the Nun.
The last race in which he rode was about two years ago,
for Mr. Merry, at Glasgow. He was a person of sober
and regular habits, and spent very much of his time at
home.— Cork Reporter.
