ADELPHI THEATRE. .
—sob.
A new Piece, in three acts, entitled The Life of an
Actor, waa.proliced at this Theatre last night. It is a
new version of the story, or succession of incidents
already published, although, perhaps, not very exten-
sively read. WRINCII, in the part of a Stage-struck
Printer; WILKINsoN (his first appearance this season),
in a Dramatic Green-grocer ; Rzays, in the Ma-
nager of a Theatre-Rural, Finchley • and Powza,
in an Irish Man of Letters, exerted themselves with
their usual sticces,and were loudly applauded through-
out. The Piece has been arranged, we understand, by
Mr. PEAK', and contains some very capital specimens
of that Gentleman's talent. As in most first represen-
tations, some trifling inaccuracies were perceptible, .but
many of the scenes were very effective. The whole of
the first, and part of the second act, appeared to hang
heavily; however, by judicious curtailment, and the
degree of perfection which results from repetition, we
have little doubt that The Life of an Actor may be
rendered very attractive. Some popular music is in-
troduced with good effect ; but we could not help re.
gtetting, that the laughing chorus from Der Freischutx
was marred, by the evident want of rehearsal or practice
by the performers. On the whole, the Managers of the
Adelphi have given a new proof of their anxiety to
merit the patronage by which their previous efforts
have been rewarded. Notwithstanding the dreadful
:torn) which raged, the house was crowed to an overflow
long before the commencement of the performance.

Dispatches, date,' the 22d of September, were re-
ceived yesterday, at the India Board, from Persia.

Yesterday afternoon, at two oclock, a Cabinet Codn-
cil assembled at the Foreign Office Downing-street, which was at-
tended by the same Cabinet Ministers who attended the Cabinet
Council on Wednesday, with the addition of Lord Bazi.ar and Mr.
Husatssow. The Cabinet continued in deliberation till half-past
five o'clock.

The Duke of GLOUCESTER -visited his Royal Duchess
yesterday, who passed a good night on Wednesday night, and was
much better yesterday. Her Royal Highness also received visits
from the Duchess of KS" the Princess Soma, and the Princess
FLODOR
The air of Blighton is recommended, by the medical
advisers of the amiable Duchess of Dumont' as likely to restore
and renovate her health. That place possesses the peculiar character
of a bracing, and a soft and mild atmosphere at the same time.
The Duke of NORT/lUMBERLAND is the solitary indi-
vidual of any importance who opposes the erection of the Thames
Quay, or splendid ornamental as weU as useful promenade and car-
riJge-way, contemplated to extend from Westminster to London
&Mgr, along the banks of the river.
Lord THANE'''. who is now in Paris, has been con-
fined to his hotel by a fit of the gout. _ _ _

NIr.FAIiQVH a has been staying at his noble edifice,
nimbill Abbey, during the whole summer, not ostentatiously, but
quietly and hospitably entertaining a select number of friends in
succession. The Abbey has, to a certain extent, been re-furnished,
and, in addition to articles for domestic comfort, there are several
rare and costly articles, which the wealthy owner has purchased
since the sale.

People hit up their hands and eyes with astonishment,
when they hear that Twenty Pounds, invested in a Item. Dim
'Morns Mum in Bits, has produced Seven or Eight Hundred
Pounds; do they forget that less than one-fourth part of that sum,
risked on the lGth of this Month, must obtain for somebody more
than Twenty Thousand Pounds ?—All other speculatio►s are mere
re tiles, compared with the chance of an adventure in such a Lottery
Scheme as the present, in which the gain is so great, and the risk
next to nothing,
