There would have been a good audi
ence in attendance at Portland Theatre
last evening, for there was a quite large
demand for seats, but Manager Tukes-
bury receivedTa note from DR.. Warren,
stating that Mora was very i'll at the
Falmouth Hotel with acute indigestion,
and therefore the performance would not
take place. If the lady is sufficiently
recovered tonight, she will appear in La
Belle Midge."
