The Auckland Troop of Cavalry Volun teers are so dissatisfied with the censorious remarks of Colonel Harington at the annual inspection that there is some talk among them of all resigning in a body. It is rumored that they will attend the review on Saturday in civilian's dress, and then and there deliver up their arms.

THE CADUCEUS.

a. ii.il in sight,—supposed to be the Cai-iceus, from London, —is signalled as we go to press.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

Theee was a good attendance at this Theare last evening, when Signor Donato took a benefit. A comic drama, entitled " Romance and Reality," was the opening piece, in which Mr Hoskins and Miss Colville appeared. The heneficiare ap peared twice during the evening in several dances. He sang " Love among the Eoses," which was loudly encored, when he substituted " Moct and Chandon.'' As a pantomimist and a posturist, the signor is truly wonderful. Every evening that Signor Donato has appeared during his brief engagement he has met with rapturous applause, and every one who has witnessed his performances speaks highly of his extraordinary talent and powers. The drama of " The Mistle toe Bough" concluded the perform ances. This evening the programme will be repeated. To-morrow a benefit will be tendered to Mr Hoskins and Miss Colville, who, it appears, are at last about to leave us.

MR. MORTON TAVARES.

Me Moeton Tavaees is about to visit the Southern provinces, and we heartily wish him success Of his talents as an actor it is almost impossible to speak too highly. Devoting an unceasing study to the art of which he is so great a master, he has won for himself the title of one of the first living actors of Shakespearian drama. He possesses likewise the sterling qualities of a gentleman. We trust to see him again on the Auckland boards in those characters in which he is so eminently successful.

RACE BETWEEN THE MERCURY AND THE SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS.

The race between the cutters Mercury and Sovereign of the Seas has terminated in a victory for the latter. It will be remembered that on the day of the regatta the Sovereign of the Seas won the race for cutters over 25 tons round Tiritiri, the Mercury coming in a good second. Daring the race the Mercury carried away some of her gear, and her owner being of opinion that he would have carried off the race but for the accident, challenged the Sovereign to another race, the course to be round the Watchman off Cape Colville, race to be for £40. The cutter Nautilus went round the course with the umpire. As we mentioned iv our issue of yesterday, the two vessels started away well together, the Sovereign leading when last in sight. The cutters carried a light southerly breeze, and at six o'clock the Sovereign rounded the Watchman, followed by the Mercury at 6.16, the Nautilus, which was detained some six minutes in leaving the harbour being only a short distance behind the Mercury. During the night the vessels were almost becalmed, and were in sight of each other. At two o'clock the Mercury had gained on the Sovereign, and was leading by about half a mile, but at daybreak the Sovereign had again come to the front, and was leading by a quarter of a 'mile. The breeze then fresh ened and the Sovereign continued to lengthen the distance, being a mile in advance of the Mercury when passing Tiritiri. The Mercury then overhauled the Sovereign, and for some time they were very close together. When going about off the Wade the Sovereign caught a nice breeze and kept it till rounding the North Head, about twelve o'clock. At this time there were over two hundred persons on the wharf. About a quarter past twelve o'clock the Sovereign was becalmed off Hau laki Bay, and at the same time the Mercury showed round the Heads carrying a nice northerly breeze. At this time there was great excitement on the wharf, and betting was running almost two to one on the Mer cury, when suddenly her sails were observed to flap, and she remained motionless for nearly half-an hovr. At about one o'clock a fresh southerly breeze came off the shore, and the Sovereign, the nearest to the land, was the first to catch the breeze. While the Mercury was lying becalmed the Sovereign passed her, and carrying the breeze right up to the starting point came in the winner by nearly ten minutes —the Nautilus, which rounded the Heads last, passing the wharf second, and the Mercury third. This, we believe, is the fourth race the Sovereign has carried off.

ANOTHER GHOST,

To the Editor of the Evening Stab. g IB> —I have read this evening with much pleasure an article in your paper ridiculing the scare which has come upon the good people of Auckland from the supposed appearance amongst as of that dreaded phantom, Internationalism. I agree with every word you say, besides we are not venerable enough yet to have a ghost. But while you have very effectively striven to lay one unquiet spirit, may I not ask if you, yourself, have not lately been helping to raise another —a spirit, I venture to say, as "dark, mysterious, vengeful, and murderous," as that which emanates from Internationalism —a spirit which, when evoked, leads men to commit such dark, murderous, and vengeful deeds, as the Sheffield enquiry revealed. I refer to your seeming ad' V( jc£cy of the recent strike on the rai' vy works. It is not right that I she $ encroach upon your space by enter in^—; length on this subject; but, as I uu ag -stand, you are ready to let your rea£. ' see both sides of the question, and, 5s hitherto, your paper has only advocated the cause of the men now on strike, will you let me say a few words on the other side. Ist. Did these men agree to work on the Railway, knowing at the time that they would have to work for nine hours a day ? If they did this, I maintain that they have no just ground of complaint. Of course,' no one disputes their right to stop work whenever they are dissatisfied with their bargain; or if, as they say, they

find that nine hours on the railways are too much for them, why do they not go quietly back to the several occupations they would have been engaged in, if the rail way had not been commenced P Surely it is the merest balderdash, bunkum, bosh, to talk in this new and free country of ours, about " nigger driving," and the working men's rights being in danger. If these men think they should not be asked to work more than eight hours a day, the manly, straightforward course would have been for them to have made that a sine qua non, before begining to work at all.

2nd. Are they prepared to work for a proportionately less rate of wages for eight hours P If not, I again say they have no just ground of complaint. The government, or Mr Brogden—or whoever it may be—makes an offer of so much money for so many hours' work : the offer may be taken or rejected at will, and if the latter, why in the world should there be any ill feeling engendered in consequence ? It would be just as absurd and unreason able for me to go into a shop and after wards make a public outcry and complaint because the proprietor would not let me have his goods at my price instead of at his.

I very much fear, sir, that the writers of the letters in your paper, and the pro moters of the working men's meeting the other night, are some would-be Odgers or Bradlaughs, who, being utterly opposed to the doing of any work with their own hands, are desirous of gaining an unenvi able notoriety by evoking the foul and unnatural spirit of class against class, viz., the honorable working man against the equally honorable employer. When people, in this country, write and speak vehemently about the " honest industri ous " working men being " trodden upon," and "oppressed," by any one else, you may be very sure that they are neither honest nor industrious working men themselves ; for, as you truly say, " there is not to be found within our coasts, either wealth or power possessed by any one, or any party, that can throw a blighting shadow over honest industry." Yours, &c, Looker-on.
