THEATRE.-The play of Great Expectations,
from Dickens novel of that title, will be pro-
duced, for the first time in Portland, at Deer
ing Hall this evening. It was performed in
London for 100 consecutive nights, Mr.. Coles
sustaining the character of "Pip," and Miss
Stocqueler that of "Estella," in which oharac-
tiers they will make their appearance tonight,
supported by an excellent cast in which
we notice Mr.. Beckett, for that of "Joe Cargo
ry,' in which he is pronounced immense The
incidents of the play are attractive and inter-
esting, and we think will please Portland au-
dience. Certain it is that wherever the play
has been performed in this country it has had
tremendous run. The laughable farce of the
Englishman in India, in which both Mr. Coles
and Miss stocqueler will appear, win conclude
the entertainment.
Tuesday evening Nicholas Nickleby will he
brought out. Mr.. Coles sustaining the charac-
ter of Nicholas.

MoHUN; OR, THE LAST DAYS OF LEE
AND HIS PALADINs.-This work is pre-
fessedly based upon materials derived from
the manuscripts of Colonel Surry, staff
officer, who served in Virginia when the
civil war was drawing to close, but for
the finishing touches, which render thedry
details interesting and attractive, we are
undoubtedly indebted to the gifted and
experienced pen of John Esten Cook, Esq.
Commencing with the preparations made
for that raid into Pennsylvania, which ter
minated with the defeat at Gettysburg, we
are carried through series of battles,
skirmishes and military manoeuvres down
to the deRouement of the dramatic hnal
surrender of Lee and his army at Apo
matlox Court House. Gen. Mohun, who
furnishes title to the volume, was one Of
the celebrated and gallant commanders who
fought beneath the "stars and bars of the
Confederacy, and the delinealion Of the
scenes, wherein he is represented as the
chief actor are by no means the least cap
tiyating and are full Of exciting action

Cracksmen in Pulaski.

Our Pulaski neighbors have had visit
from the night providers who made Nash
Vile their stoppiDg-place for several weeks
past The Citizen of yesterday says that
during the past week, Pulaski has been
visited bv a party of scientific burglars,
who for night or two piled their voca-
ton quite vigorously. They entered the
family room Of Mr.. A. L. Crow, and taking
his pants from under his pillow, extracted
all the small bills from the pockets, and
left without disturbing any one. Mr.. VIM
Alexander, at VIM. G. Lewis, detected one
of them in the act of crawling into his win
dow, but kindly advised the gentleman to
lie, the window down and retire, which he
was considerable enough TO do. big dog
drove one Of them away from MIR. Robert
Scoggin's window before he had succeeded
in efIecting an entrance, and just in time
TO preserve a sound skull. At Mr.. AymetFs
they were a little more successful. They
entered his private room through a win
dow and took from his pocket between
1925 and Sl35. Numerous other burglar
les were attempted, but as general thing
our citizens are too watchful for them.
