BoN-FRE.-Some boys started bon FIRE of
straw and trash at the corner OF King and
Royal streets last night about nine O'Clock,
and came very near creating an alarm of fire.
One Of the boys was arrested, but subsequently
released on account of his youth. The prac

streets at night, arc very annoying ones, and
cause large proportion of the false alarms OF
fire. They should be put down.

ADJUSTMENTS. Those lovers of the play who
failed to go to Sarepta Hall, last night, missed
IL decided treat. The performance of Naval
Engagement" was most excellent, while the
fafterpieoe was very laughable and we'll rendered.
/ The performers were all fully up 10 their re-
|spective parts, and despite the discouraglngly
small audience played with much style and anil
nation. It is to be hoped that the performance
tonight will be much better patronized than
THAT of last night. The comedy of Mar.
lried Life and the farce Of MY Neighbor's
