This .sale has created great interest for a long time past. Speculators from all parts have been going over the lands, but many who have inspected it during the past few days have given up the

intention of competing at the sale in con sequence of the upset price, which they think too high.

The wall will be placed at some distance from the extreme western side of the street, so as to leave room for a cart-road at both ends communicating with Durham-street. The front of the wall to wards Durham-street will be pierced under the roadway, so ao to provide a public urinal, which will be lighted up at night. The place ib well-adapted for the purpose. Both ends of the wall at which the cart way will ran down from Albert-street will be lighted with lamps. The cost is esti mated at over £1,000.

THEATRE ROYAL.

" Our Boys."

Byron's famous comedy, " Our Boys," was pro duced at the theatre last night with complete success. We are particularly glad to be able to say so much, because there can bo no doubt It wae somewhat a daring experiment to play it Fir«t Impressions are nearly everything in a comedy like " Our Boys," and the actor* who attempts to eraso them, has his work cut out " Oderous comparisons " will be instituted, and it seldom happens that they are in favour of tha luckless artiat who comes last. Mr Jack has not, however, anything to fear. HisPerkj n Middlewickcannotinallpoints be compared with the representations of either Mr David James or Mr Lingard, for it differs from both of them in all essential respects. Nevertheless, it is a very excellent conception, quaint, original, and true to nature. We may as well say at once that we prefer Mr Jack to Mr Lingard ia the part. The last named gentleman made the butterman app«ar a fool and exaggerated his eccentricities to the verge of buffoonery. Mr Jack on the contrary makes him a shrewd man of ttte world, and is careful not to overdo the vulgarity. Yet withal he make 0, every point tell, and by his novel rendering, elicited continual peals of laughter, even from those who knew every joke in the play. Again, in the last act, Mr Lingard's emotion vras ludicrous, and created a Bhout of derision. The author, we feel pretty sure, never intended this, and so Mr Jack very properly seems to think, for he makes his emotion produce quite a contrary effect. Miss Firmin takes a different view of the part of Mary Melrose to Mrs Lingard, but her representation is nevertheless a very good one- She gave the smart speeches with full force and point, and looked charming, Mrs Hill, although out of her line, appeared to great advantage as Violet Melrose; and Miss May not only caused considerable amusement, but was heartily applauded for her able and forcible acting ac the "slavey" Bellinda. Mr Steele deserves great credit for his natural and manly rendering of the part of Charlie Middlewick, —a great improvement on what has gone before —and when Mr O'Brien has forsworn that dread ful wig his Talbot Champneys will be worthy of great praise. Mr Burford, as Sir Geoffrey, and Miss Raymond as Miss Champneys, make up an excellent caste. "Our Boys" will be repeated this evening, and we have no hesi tation in advising all who like a good play well acted to secure seats without delay.

"Persons who adopt coke. for fuel are scarcely ever known to revert to ike use of coal." The value ot coke as a tuel, aud as a means of economy oi coal, is not appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of coal aud coke ia invaluable for the ortiiinuy purposes of heating, and still more for those of cooking and raising steam, as it absorbs tne smoke or inflammable gases given off by coal during combustion, and renders the fire brighter, clearer, and hotter. Every house holder should buy coals and coke at the same time, and, if convenient., mix them ; smaller bills and satisfaction will be the result. The price of coke is advertised else where.— [A.DVT.I
