The Evening Star. MONDAY, MAY 1, 1871.

Thebe cannot be a doubt that some discrimination should be used by Ac climatization Societies with reference to their importations. We are con stantly reading of complaints respect ing the depredations of many of the imports, even in this province, where acclimatization has done compara tively little, and where the animals have not yet increased to any very great extent. But the accounts from Victoria especially reveal a state of things sufficient to awaken public attention to the irreparable evils that may be done by the introduction of what cannot be regarded as other than pests to agricultural productions, and detrimental to the settlement of the country. Sparrows and pheasants, hares and deer, are especially pro tested against as having already made themselves a nuisance becoming almost intolerable ; and now ffo'm our own country districts the same indignant complaint" against the results of the Acclimatization Society's efforts are beginning to make themselves heard. This is really a subject deserving of immediate attention. That many of these imports have tastes and tenden cies, that if properly directed, would be of great service in restraining the superabundant insect life of the coun try, cannot be doubted, but as it is not in the power of the Society to so direct their tastes and regulate the larcenous propensities of their proteges, some caution and selection are necessary. Great as has been the trouble in intro ducing some of these immigrants, their expulsion would be attended with infinitely more difficulty, and the extraordinary prolific character of sparrows, and hares, and rabbits, if these animals are really objectionable, will create an evil which it will not be in the power of a sparse population to overcome. If the range of objects to twhich the members of the Acclimatisa tion Society could direct their efforts were really limited, then excuse could be made for the zeal of members being directed to the import of animals regarding whose habits there is room for question; but as the sphere of valuable imports is absolutely limitless, no such reason can be given for the efforts at acclimatization being directed to objects of questionable utility. Erom the last report-of our Acclima tization Society, it appears that the' attention of the local Society has been devoted solely to animal life. As animals once introduced are beyond the control of the Society, this exclusive attention, when their utility is still sub judice, is, to say the least, open to question. The multitude of vegetable substances in ' other lands that are of unquestioned economic value might fairly be expected to receive some attention, and even though such products as cinchona, tea, and the multitude of others which are .supposed to be susceptible of acclima tization, should prove otherwise, no evil would result; and even though any should be found a positive nuisance, they are incomparably more under control in their propagation. It is greatly to be desired that the quality of their imports should receive the more particular attention of the Society, and should the Society prove obdurate, notwithstanding the reite rated complaints of the. inutility of their imports, the public will feel impelled to bring pressure to bear, by the stoppage of supplies.

It is satisfactory to find that the ladies oi Auckland will have an opportunity of uniting in the welcome to the Nevada, and that ar rangements have been made by which ladies' tickets to the gallery will be issued to those gentlemen who have taken tickets to the lun cheon. The day has not yet arrived when woman s right" to join practically in public banquettmg will be conceded, but it'is doubt less an instalment of the "good time coming " 3^. cV hey are invite<i "to see the lions feed." Lite hounes around the celestial gate, they must have but a distant glimpse of the pleasures of their lords' and masters, but we do not doubt?- that their presence will not enliven -the welcome, lending it the ecUt of bright smifes and pretty faces, but serve to regulate the gastro nomic and bibulous proclivities of the supe rior animal devouring victuals below. *It is not fair to severely criticise postparandial oratory, and on this ocpasion especially, free dom must be given to; rhetorical rhapsbdy. But we venture to affirm that there will be some arch criticism in the gallery, and that many a one who, under the inspiring influences of the moment, will fancy Minself soaring

in the highest flights of oratory, will next day be humorously reminded of-the transcenden talism to which he has giremutteranice. *,

. The interest felt in the anticipated arrival of the Nevada was '.shown to-day by the excite ment that suddenly arose on the Luna being signalled. Somebody,-either from mistaking the signal, orforthe purpose of befooling people, started the rumor that it was the Nevada, and immediately clusters of people-were to be seen in a high state of enthusiasm' discussing the code of signals. The signal L for "New Zealand Government vessel" if it had been supplemented with a code pennant over the flag, would have indicated "vessel from South America," and as somebody sup posed Mr. T)uder fo have but one flag for all America, the appearance of L without the pennant was sufficient to raise the rumour. The Nevada may not be expected before Wednesday. ■ To-day commences the shooting. Season, and we wish all our friends and patrons good sport. If the bad character which the phea sants are acquiring for themselves among our agricultural settlers is really founded on fact, we sincerely hope that there will be an im mense number of sportsmen, and that every " pickle "of shot will have its billet. L, will perhaps enhance the pleasure of the shooting season when our sportsmen know that they are doing public service in lessening the numbers of these feathered immigrants. To-day firing at One Tree Hill has been proceeding ; 'the competitors being five mem bers selected indiscrimiuately by Colonel Har rington from each of the companies. The in tention is to discover the average ability of the companies in the use of the rifle ; and a report is to be forwarded to the Government oh the subject. The first drill of the new company of " Royal Engineers nee Sappers and Miners," will be held this evening, at half-past seven, at the Drill-shed. This, the youngest of our companies, gives good promise of becoming highly efficient, and the importance of that particular form of duty with which they must be charged if ever our defenders are called to take the field, makes us wish them the very best success. We observe that tenders are called for their uniform, which, through the spirited conduct of the officer in command (Captain Dargaville)f will be placed at the service of the members of the company imme diately. The s.s. St. Kilda arrived in the Mauukau this morning from Taranaki and Wanganui. She brings no news of importance. Thomas Beckham, Esq., H.M. and District Judge, returned from Taranaki by the s.s. St. Kilda this morning. . Mr. J. Gh Hall, bootmaker, called our atten tion the other day to an American shoemaker's bench, which he has had erected in his work shop. It is very ingenious, and we are assured by Mr. Hall that boots and shoes can be made, by the employment of this bench, nearly doubly as quick as by the usual method.— Taranaki Herald, April 29.

The programme of the annual course of winter lectures to be delivered before tlie Young Men's Christian Association, in the rooms, Wellesley-street, will be found in our advertising columns. It will be seen that, whether n." regards the lecturers or the topics selected, the series is in no way inferior to its predecessors. This evening a newly-formed troupe of minstrels, culling themselves the Orpheus Ethiopian Troupe, will give a performance at the Mechanics' Institute, Onehunga, for the Benevolent Society at that place. An excel lent programme has been arranged, and as several of the gentlemen of the Orpheus Troupe formerly belonged to the Auckland Ethiopian Troupe, whose career was so very successful, the entertainment will doubtless pass off satisfactorily, and will, we trust, bring in an addition to the funds of the Benevolent Society. At about one o'clock yesterday a house in the occupation of Mrs. Gilbert, Parnell, had a narrow escape from fire. Some boys were tho first to give the alarm, and assistance was rendered previous to the fire obtaining a firm hold of the building. A hole burned through the roof of the back kitchen in which the fire originated was the only injury which resulted. Had assistance not been bo opportune, no doubt, an extensive conflagration would have been the result, as the house im mediately adjoins the ParnellHall. An impudent robbery took place on Friday evening at tho Lunatic Asylum. At that time several ladies' were walking up and down in front of the Asylum and noticed with; surprise a woman (apparently) cutting the flowers and shrubs in the front garden. The ladies' at once ran in to the Asylum to give the alarm, when the depredator fell down hid ing his face in the grass. Some of the keepers gave chase, when the thief took to his heels and jumped over a fence, in doing which he with more agility than grace, displayed a pair of grey pantaloons and other indications of his sex. He however only jumped out of the frying pan into the fire, for he plunged head foremost into a clump of furze bushes, broken bottles, and brick-bats, cutting himself very badly J The keepers did not follow and the rascal succeeded in effecting his escape. • This is not the first occasion when depredations of a similar kind have been committed. Proper measures have bten taken, however, to pre- • vent a repetition.

OUR EXTRA.

As the Nevada is expected to arrive on Wednesday, we have to state that, in accordance with arrangements made in Honolulu, our extra printed there will be forwarded ; and being delivered to us on the steamer arriving in our waters, will be published by us immediately after, lake all those, which we have hitherto received from our agents at Honolulu, * if c°ntaJ Q an exceedingly full digest ot all the latest telegraphic news, and from the critical state of affairs in' Paris on the departure of the last mail, may be expedted to convey intelligence of the mosfr^nlling-'kind.

$BXti&E O#F ALES a^EATRE. J Mpj, wee's playfbf "*Eich^keu"|isj pet^' jnapsiV'the masterpiece of /that \talented author's dramatic prbducliaiis; and seldom has its representation in Auckland re ceived more justice at the hands of the players than' on Saturday last. ;?-_£r. Hoskins in his pourtrayal df the crafty, patriotic and scheming statesman-evinced a scholarly perception of the requirements of the part, and in! several of the telling situations with which the piece abounds, brought down the house with tremendous appreciative applause. Juli de Mortemar found a graceful and ladylike representa tive in Miss Florence Colville, who seems to win upon the audience with each new representation she appears in. We have already descanted upon'"' the Mperittir merits of these two clever artists, and are confident that they will afford consider able gratification to those supporters of the drama who embrace the opportunity of witnessing their performances. Miss Flora Anstead as Francois, the faithful page, played with considerable taste and feeling, as also did Miss Raymond in the character of Marion de Lorme. Amongst the marked and responsible characters with which the piece abbunds, i the most prominent for good acting were the Chevalier de Mau prat of Mr. B. "N. Jones, the Count de Baradas of Mr. Ryan, the De Beringher of Mr. Hydes, and the Louis the Tirteonth of Mr. Booth. The customary compliment of being called before the curtain was accorded Mr.. Hoskins a„fc the end of the fourth act, and5 at the termina tion of the piece Miss Colville was also, in conjunction with him, honoured with a similar mark of popular approval. The farce of the " Man about Town," in which Mr. Hydes, as Skirts, provoked the continuous hearty laughter of the audience, brought the performances to a satisfactory conclusion. Richard Brinsley Sheridan's comedy of, the, '! Critic," and the " Comical Countess/" are to be pre sented this evening.

MELANCHOY ACCIDENT AT OPOTIKI.

With regret I have to report the death of one of the best of our settlers. Edward Stanton was found drowned in the Waiowika river on the 22nd. It is supposed that in attempting to cross the river in search of .cattle he was swept down by the current. An inquest was held at the Masonic Hotel on the 23rd, the. sub inspector of police acting as deputy coroner in the absence of our Resident Magistrate. Too much praise cannot be given to this gentle man. Since the unfortunate man was re ported missing, Mr. Withers never flagged a moment; he tracked the footmarks to tho river the Bame day, and carefully searched the banks until dark. At daylight on, tho 22nd at least thirty mounted men started out to search the swamps. Sub-inspector Withers, with six of the Armed Constabulary, again took up the trail, and although the water was bitterly cold, for eight hours that gentleman was more in than out of the water, and after exploring the rivor for a long distance, he was rewarded with success. He came across the body in twelve feet of water. Stanton was buried on tho 23rd, with military honors. He was a member of the Bay of Plenty Volunteer Cavalry.—L^orre9 Pondent.]

We understand that the telegraph poles have all beenerected between Patea and Opunake, and the r wire is now being strung on them.; The telegraph office, we understand, is to be placed near the flagstaff, at Opunake; this being about half-way between Patea and here.; There appears still to" be some slight difficulty about the telegraph being allowed to cross the land at Pariaka, one of the old chiefs not agreeing to it. However, the poles will be erected this side Of the Stoney River to New Plymouth, and by the time that portion is finished, we have no doubt arrangements will be made for connecting it.— Taranaki Herald, April 29. ~ •».;=."•
