STREET NOISES.

\xo zae __cutor ot the evening Star.) Sir, —Can your or any of your readers kindly inform me if our sapient City Coun cillors have made ai_y by-law for the suppression of street nuisances, or have the police the authority to act. I allude in par ticular to a nuisance in the form of a band, of pseudo-musicians, which are to be seen occasionally on the balcony of the City Hall I am, &c, Pro Bono Publico

MRS BROWN AND THE RICHEST MAN IN NEW ZEALAND.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. My dear Mr Editor,—l've been all round the world, as the sayin' is, but I never—not since I was so 'igh—ever saw such an old skinflint of an oddity as that Greenall. I only wonder how the folks of Auckland allow such an old Boomerang to live at all. Why, as my Brown used to say, if he'd had to do with such an one as him he would have smothered him in his fust sleep. -You know 'ow Brown lost his money, and was forced to come out here as an imagegrant in the three-masted ship City of Auckland. Lord love her dear captain for stopping that 'orrid woman from righting all the image<rants one down and t'other come on, as run°away with the steward aleaving her 'usband to bring up the poor little thing by 'and ; and that sinner of a steward, too, as falsified the books, and drunk ten dozins of old torn and only give me as much as 'ud fill a 'ook-pot, 'cause it was that orful cold a running down her yeastings. But he'll 'aye to answer to 'is maker, and the poor captain to Shaw Snavell. Well, as I was a saying, Brown is now employed up on the railroad. Not as I likes railroads when we can get onibli busses. Well, we took a 'ouse up in Vicar of Wakefield street, and paid eight bob a week rent, which we pays every Monday as every was. Ido abbor smells as much as liis serene majesty Lord Clovenfoot hates pie, but lawks a mussy this is a place, and them closets is so full. I can't abide it nohow. When I had been fti my new 'bode just two nights it came on to rain that hard that I thought we should have been washed out of 'ouse and 'ome, and Brown, he was cutting a stick of tobacco when he says to me " Hish, whats that." No sooner had he spoke when up jumps Snider and growled that ferocious that I felt as if something dreadfull was a happen ing. I'm sure I looked down right aghast whenl peeped outof thewinder, for what d'ye think I saw. There was a little anitequated old scurmudgeon a standing wet thro and thro in all that rain, and it did rain heavens hardest, close up against our closet, and he had. got a long pole which he was a ramming and a rammin and a twisting in a most tremendjous manner down that closet. Says I, " Brown there's a man a poking a pole down our house of parliament." "Never" says he, a turnin' pale." I says, '' whatever yo do, keep your feelings to yourself, and come out with me quiet." So out we goes, a holdin' our breaths, as the sayin' is ; and I walks up to him, and says I, '' Hullo old rhinoceros, what are you at ; cant ye ." Never givin it a thought, as I knowed the chap. He says never stopping a wishing of his pole ; '' Its all light Missess, I'm only sluicing it for you." He looks up just as I ketched'old on 'im, and who do think it was ? Why ! Old Greenall, our landlord. "You war mint," says I, "how dare you come stirring up strife ; frightin people out of their wits ends like that in the dead of night." "Oh," says he, "I'm the_ richest man in New Zealand, and only cleaning your cesspool out, don't you see, when it rains like this I can stir the old lot out and it all runs into the street beautiful." I says to him, says I "You ought to be ashamed of yourself. What do I care for your riches, which is only for this world ! I've a good mind to send for the perlice. How's Cain and Abel Fletcher or that Faulder to live if all were the likes of you, you nasty old man? Who made you a wolinteer nightman, I should like to know '("' With that I up with my arm for to give bim a back-'ander like, when he puts up the pole to defend himself against a lone woman, and ketches me with the nasty dirty thing right on the funny bone that wiolent like. "Perlice," I screams, and deary me if that old Greenall I didn't skedaddle it's a caution, leaving his j pole in our garden, and it was so dark I couldn't see which way he went. Well, I ! goes into Mrs**Crallin next door, and tells ' her all about it, and she gives me | a leastish drop of square, not as I likes that | better than "0 de wee, but she says its Wolfe's temp'rance mixture. She larfs right j out when I told her. " Oh," says she, "you ; mustn't mind him, he allers does that when ; wet weather comes, and that keeps us sweet, i If he didn't do that the places would get | brimful, and that I can't abare." So I tells her he's a close-fisted waggerbone as never I see, and the old miserly scavenger shan't come stirring up dirty -#ater in my house, leastwise I pays the ren#: So I wiites off post 'aste to Sooperintendent Goldey and tells him all about it, which I should not have done but for his 'ighly undecent con duct, which certingly provoked me. So Mr Thingumejig he summinesses old waxworks up to the pallis court, but he was that artful that he constructs one of them lawyers who twists the thing round his fingers, as the Bayin is; but justis wasn't to be dumb funded you know, so the highly intelligent magistrate he reminds the case so as to get the exclamation comended, and Lord only knows when that'll be done, which is beyond the hooman constitution of yours concernedly, Martha Brown.

RATS ! RATS ! RATS !

To the Editor of the Evening Star. Dear Sir,—Do please teU William Furlong to try and destroy some of the rats that infest this public part of the city, instead of paying them, as he says he does. By the-bye, what does he mean ; is it pampering 'them he means? I wish he would serve them as he does his candidates — chase them. That done; he should then chase that wooden dictionary of his off the shelf into the sewer for the rats to study—that is my opinion.—l am, &c, A Very Small Boy.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

THERE was a very good attendance at the Prince of Wales Theatre last night to witness the performance of the new comedy, "A Victim of Circumstances," in which that celebrated and accomplished artiste, Miss Rose Evans, took a leading part. , The comedy, as a literary production, is of minor interest, but it admirably serves the purpose (for which it was written) of affording Miss Evans the opportunity of displaying her histrionic abilities to the best advantage. The story is divided into three acts. Virginie, the, most prominent character, is, of course, the life and spirit of the piece ; she is separated from her husband, who, ap parently, could not live with her on account of certain strange and changeable features in her character. At one moment Virginie is all love and gentleness,, when suddenly,: the next moment, Ishe is a frantic demon, mad

With the recurring knowledge of a wrong which rankles in her nature. After a series of narrow escapes from dreaded discoveries of the same nature, both on the part of Virginie and Bonfoi, matters come right again, and the long separated pair are again mutually happy in each others arms. The character of the heroine was admirably sustained throughout. Miss Rose Evans exhibited all the peculiarities and tempers of Virginie with force and truth. Miss Evans has the advantage also of adding to her histrionic abilities a fine voice, and we are not at all surprised that she is already a great favourite with the play-seeing public. Mr B. N. Jones was excellent, displaying a nice appreciation of the character of Bonfoi. Mrs Walter Hill, with her usual good taste, impersonated Annie, to the delight of the house ; whilst Mrs Ryan, as Madame Toque., made a real mother-in-law of the tyrannical crab type, with her continued repetitions about codes of law, which were almost too frequent to be pleasing. Mrs Jones was quite natural as Babette, whilst a word of praise is certainly due to Miss May for her lively con ception of little Annette. The several minor characters, by Messrs Aveling, O'Neill, and Gardener, were also deserving of credit. The whole concluded with a very entertaining farce—"Raising the Wind.'' We under stand that the promised'play, " 'Twixt Axe and Crown," which will be performed on Friday evening, will present unusual attrac tions.

J PRICE—ONE SHILLING. AUCKLAND ALMANAC, Por 1873. WE beg to intimate that we are engaged in the compilation of an Almanac for the Province of Auckland for the year 1573, which will be issued early in December of the present year. Without reflecting on any previous productions in this special field of literature, we believe that we can produce a work that will meet the wants of the residents in the city and province to an extent not yet j attained by any local Almanac. It is not our wish to define the points on which our Almanac will base its I claims to supersede other local Almanacs, but we feel confidence in promising that it will find its way into more households and offices, and more nearly attain to the correct ideal of a Provincial "Book " Almanac than anything of the kind that has yet been sub , nutted to tlie public of Auckland. | The information contained will be extensive and j carefully compiled, and the literary portion of tlie I work will be executed in a manner that will satisfy the I most fastidious, while our extensive and varied assort ! ment of hew and ornamental type, and the advantages j of our steam printing machinery will enable us to produce a volume that for neatness and cheapness is I not likely to be equalled in tlie district. I We can therefore confidently recommend tliis Annual as affording tlie best advertising medium. . Although the first year of issue the numerous agencies and correspondents of the Evening Star will provide a medium for bringing the work immediately into ; contact with residents in every part of the province, I and, as far as may be practicable, in other parts of the colony.
