ADF LP HI THEATRE.

The pleasing little farce, entitled More Blunders
than One ; or, The Irish Valet, was oil Monday night.
revived at thisTheatre. We stated, on its first appear-
ance, that the incidents of the piece arise out of the
blunders and mistakes of Larry Hoologan, a well-. .
meaning Irish servant, in his attempts to reconcile the.
jealous-quarrels which hourly take place between his
master and the Lady to whom he is about to be married
(Miss S. Boorri). The acting of Mr. Porten, as Larry,
reminded us of some of the beat delineations of Irish
character. In a word, it was such as to keep the house;
which was crowded to excess, in a continued roar or
laughter. Some of the scenes ate so exquisitely hu-
morous and so inimitably pourtrayed, that it would be
useless to attempt a description of them ; to he fully ap-
preciated They must be witnessed. Miss S. Boosts, as
the Love sick Lady, and Miss PARROCKs her attendant)
(the Sweetheart of Larry Hoologan), played their parts
with their wonted spirit and effect, and were loudly and
justly applauded.

Letters were received yesterday from Pernambuco;
dated the 26th of December, being three days later
than the previous accounts. The prisoners from Bahia
had reached that place, and the Balfour transport, in
which they had been conveyed, was tying moored be-
tween two Brazilian vessels of war. The order from Rio
de Janeiro for immediately disarming them was about to
be put into execution, previcau to their being trans-
ferred to that place. It is said the differences between
Lord COCHRANE and the Brazilian Government, which
had created in him an aversion to that service, have
been satisfactorily adjusted, and that his Lordship has
abandoned his intention of returning to England.
COACH ROBBERY.—Another valuable parcel has,
within a few days past, fallen into the hands of the
adepts at coach robberies.—lnformation of the affair
has been given to the Police, from which it appears,
that some days back a parcel containing Bills of Ex-
change, specially indorsed, a number of Country Bank
notes, and several Lottery Prizes, made payable to
bearer, were sent up from Gloucester by the Mail di-
rected to Messrs. Middleton and Company,. of Skinner
street, Snow-hill. The parcel was placed with nume•
roes others in a strong box, under one of the seats in
the inside of the coach, and on reaching town it was
missed ; but as the box remained locked, and bore no
marks of violence, and as the other parcels were all
safe, it was at first thought that it- might by accident
have been left behind. Subsequent inquiries, however,
have led the Proprietors to conclude that the box must
have been opened with a false trey, and the parcel ab-
stracted. The party, whoever he may be, seems to
have had some skill at selection, as the parcel he took
was the only one of value in the box. The value of the
parcel was nearly 4001.
Saturday evening a fire was discovered in a bake.
house in Queen's Place, back of Greenside-street, Edin-
bargh, which extended to a smith's shop adjoining, and
before it was subdued, destroyed most of the interior'
of both places. The inhabitants in the vicinity were
greatly alarmed, and many began to remove- their
effects. The fire, however, was kept in check by
throwing buckets of water, and on the arrival of the
fire engines was soon got under.—About the same time,
a fire broke out in a cellar in the Covenant Close, but
it was extinguished without doing any material damage.
—Sunday night, about nine o'clock, another alarm was
given of a fire in Roxburgh Close. It was occasioned
by a foul chimney, and was extinguished after consum-
ing some of the joists of the house it began in.
Monday se'nnight, a young man calling himself Ro-
#rt Maitland, from Aberdeen, succeeding in passing
several forged notes of the Royal Bank of Scotland, in
Stonehaven, but was apprehended while vending ano-
her, and has been committed for trial. Several forged
motes of the above Bank, and one of the Fife Banking
Company, were found upon him.
