"You cannot be too careful in guarding against the burglars

and garotters of the present winter," say the police reports, without a dissenting voice. "You may be too careful," say Messrs. E. Yates and Harrington, through the medium of a farce called A Wight at Notting. Hill, produced at the Adelphi on Monday, with unequivocal success. A worthy Alderman, acted by Mr. Wright, fortifies his residence with detonating machines and man-traps ; but the former frighten his own family, and he himself is caught in the latter. Thus from the evils of the day are materials for mirth elicited.
