The Evening Star. F RIDAY, JULY 13, 1870.

There, was a poor attendance at the Princo^ei Wales Theatre last evening, when?**Tlie Gipsy Farmer" was played, followed, by the great wizard ; as yet we have seen nothing wonderful from this gentleman, no doubt after several per formances he will be able to perform his tricks with more dexterity than shown by him last night.

Mr. Walter Montgomery i 3 per forming at Franoisco to good houses. Passing- Overland. —Tho passengers of the Wonga Wovgci as they passed through Chicago and New York, excited much interest. The press welcomed these pioneei*3 of an Australasian trade ; and a favourable impression was made upon Congress in favor of the steamship subsidy bill now before it.

The News of the World says:—The papers to hand show that New Zealand is greatly concerned as to the route to be finally adopted. We understand at this end that Mr. Webb has no strong pre-_ ference for any particular route. That question rests entirely upon money basis. The Colonies which are prepared to pay the best subsidy will of course be en titled to be best served.

A person with the name of " State" called at our office today, and stated that in our yesterday's issue wo had wrongly stated a certain case, in which he stated he had been interested. We may slate, that as our report coincides with tho statements of our three local contemporaries, and tho df.tails of the case confirm it, the true cause must have been correctly stated by us. We would also state that this person, from what has been stated to us of the impertinence of his manner in asking the correction, ap pears himself to have required a little correction after tho manner of other naughty boys. We may further state that Mr. State refused to avail himself of our columns, by inserting a letter bearing the name of i: State," so that we conclude he does not place much faith in the incorrectness of our statement.

THEATRE ROYAL

Last night this theatre re-opened under new auspices, Miss Joey Gougenheim and party appearing as the new Star Company. As might be expected, there wis an ovorllowing and most enthusiastic house. We regret that owing to pressure on our space to-day wo must be brief in our report. The play was the " Love Chase," which for its rapid transi tions gave an admirable display of the peculiar abilities of the prima donna. Miss Joey Gougenheim must have been born a flirt; aud when the part requires it, she is irresistibly winning. In facial expressions, whether for upbraiding, denouncing, pouting, resenting, coaxing, she is really unsurpassable ; while her graceful figure and charming ratural acting make her absolutely fascinating. We need not say that the reputation of Miss Gougenheim, as an actress, requires no Auckland coramen dation 5 and we may only add that for grace, expression, and elan she is what she ever was. The whole troupe, to which on a future occasion we shall refer in detail, well supports the favorite actress ; and we predict for the new company a success unusually brilliant. " Court and Stage" is selected for to-night, and anyone that has once seen Miss Joey Gougenheim as "Nell Girynne," decidedly her best impersonation, will never forget the charms of her acting.

NEW ZEALAND'S REPRESENTATIVE.

W. Gray, Esq., who came out on the Wonga Wonga as Mail Agent, representiug New Zea land, has since his arrival here been to Wash ington and back and returns to Auckland by the outgoing steamer. He had no difficulty in at once completing arrangements for the immediate dispatch of the Colonial mails across the continent to Europe. Tho Government at Washington expressed themselves as being only too glad to facilitate the matter. By the way, is it not somewhat unusual for a British Colony to place itself in direct communication with a foreign power without the interveution of the British Minister ? This ignoring of precedents and red tapeism may be taken as a sign of the times. Although no doubt no disrespect to constitutional forms was intended it shows that the Colonists proposo to do their own business in their own way. Tho Eng lish Mail for New Zealand, which is a bulky one, has arrived and will be dispatched this morning by the Ajax.— Neivs of the World.

AUSTRALIAN STEAM LINE SUBSIDY.

Washington, Juno 9th. —Tho Senate Com mittee have reported favorably on the bill granting subsidy to an Australian and New Zealand Steam Line, via San Franclso. So 30on as the bill passes, tenders will be invited for the service and advertised for sixty days. The contract will only be let conditional upon the contractor obtaining the half of the whole amount from the Colonies.

The question as to the termini and ports of call is left to the Colonies to arrange with the contractors.

We have received a copy of the A/ews of the World, published in Sun Francisco on. the departure of the steamer. There is really no later news than that received via Suez, the cause of which is explained in the following paragraph from the paper above referred to :— We had arranged for a lengthy telegram from Reuter, of London, in addition to those in. our columns dated last evening, to be pre pared specially for the Colonies, giving all items of Anglo- Australian news ; the price of wool and colonial produce; the arrival and departure of Australian Shipping, and gene rally, whatever might be thought of interest, hut, for some cause not as yet explained, no such message had been received up to the hour of going to press. Our arrangements will be so complete, that a similar disappointment cannot occur again.

MISCELLANEOUS.

New York, June 3rd.—The Uemhl pub lishes the forthcoming report of the House of Foreign affairs Committee on Cuba.

The report-says the events of the past eighteen months show a condition of affairs injuriously affecting in every way the rights" and interests and honor of the American Government. The condition of Cuba is one of anarchy and a barbarous bloody war. . It declare., the Spanish Government in Cuba is unable to conquer the people, andsurpressthc rebellion, enforce its' authority, or secure the observance of its orders even among the Spaniards, and support its .own officers, much less to protect' the lights of the foreign nation, or prevent crimes which tho civilized world must condemn.

The report concludes : " In view of all these fact, it is-no longer a civil commotion, as it has been hitherto regarded by the United States, n;r a more domestic question:as represented by the Spanish Government, but a protracted civil war, and on-first duty is the trial of it "as such, and inaccordanle with the law of nations declare and maintain with regard to the parties engaged therein a strict and impartial neutral ity.
