The political events of the last few days are unimportant, but when the second read ." o f the Custom Duties Bill comes on, and it will probably be moved this evening, Sir James McCulloch will move as an amend ment that the Bill be read a second time that day six months.

THE PfUSCE OF WALES THEATRE. OUR AMERICAN COUSIN. The appearance of Mr Bates in this celebra ted play as Asa Trenchard was welcomed by? capital house last night, and the applause which greeted the artiste's performance must have made some amends for the luke-warm ness of the public on another occasion. The play was uncommonly well cast and mounted, and -with the exception that there was hardly enough life infused into the dialogue of the minor characters, no fault could be found with it. The piece is so well known that we need not enlarge upon its merits. All English playgoers will recognise it as that in which Mr Sothern made his fame as Lord Drundreary. That character on this occasion was taken by Mr H. Stoneham, who represented the dawdling, drawliDg, listless fop very credit ably. But we must devote a few lines to Mr Bates as Asa Trenchard. At starting we must give our verdicts that Mr Bates is the best comedy player we have seen here since Boskins, and we should hesitate about assigning the latter the palm between them. The character of the off-hand, cool, but decidedly "calculatin" Yankee was hit off splendidly, the utter absence of effort in the assumption of the part being a conspicuous feature. Mr Bates in his easy nonchalant manner on the stage reminds us very strongly of Charles Matthews. He excels in what is technically called the "business" of his art, and is able to convey a volume by an ap propriate look or gestuae. In the love scene between Asa and Mary his acting was very fine, and as it was well backed up by the genuine feeling infused into the lady's part by Miss Adelaide Stoneham the audience at its close testified their approval by loud ap plause. Miss Stoneham throughout dis played her usual sparkling winsomeness of manner, and was repeatedly cheered. Mr L. Booth's "Abel Murcutt" we look upon as the best personification we have seen of that gentleman's. He was real and consist ent, and the bitter shame of a self abase ment was expressed in a way that could hardly be excelled. His burst of feeling when Florence tells him to call her by her Christian name was ad mirable. Mrs Searle as Florence, and Mrs £-tonebam as Mrs Mount Chessington, both played well and with a thorough appreciation of their roles. Of Mr Vex-ner we can only say he was out of his element as Coyle, and it was very good of him to consent to play such a part. The other performers did their parts fairly. To-night Mr Bates is to appear as Ingomar, in LovelFs play of that name, and as it is the last time he is to appear we certainly advise those who are fond of good acting to go and see him.

ENTERTAINMENT AT THE ASYLUM.

An entertainment of a very agreeable character was given last night to the inmates of the Lunatic Asylum, which was also attended by a large number of residents in the surrounding district. The large dining hall was quite crowded, and the most Jively interest was shown in the proceedingß by those for whose benefit the entertainment was arranged. His Honor the Superintendent and members of Executive were in attend ance. The first part of the programme consisted of a little comedy—" Mary, the Maid of the Mill," expressly written for the occasion by the surgeon-supeiintendent, Dr. Aickin, the plot of which unfolding the rivalry in love of a father and son for the same fair hand afforded some very effective scenes, in which the warders and keepers of the institution ac quitted themselves with the greatest credit ; one character, that of the rollicking Irish man, with the orthodox shillelagh, being provocative throughout of infinite merriment. Some songs also interspersed through the drama were very prettily and sweetly ren dered by the fair " Maid of the Mill," and the several parts were altogether well sus tained, without one of those hitches which so commonly make amateur theatricals pro ductive of anxiety and jpain to the audience. In an interval, while awaiting the arrival of the Vivian Troupe from Coromandel, several gentlemen volunteered songs, recitation, &c, and an inmate made a very excellent extem pore address on the laws as affecting the treatment of such institutions. The " Vivian Company," who had kindly responded to the particular request of the Superintendent, and hastened up from Coro mandel to assist at the entertainment, had been detained by the tempestuous weather, but immediately on the arrival of the steamer hurried out by cab with all their "properties." Despite the consequences of sea-sickness the Vivians entered into the work con amore, and their eccentricities were greeted from first to last with a running fire of hearty laughter. Refreshments were provi ded during the interval, and after most of the inmates had retired the seats were removed, and dancing kept spiritedly up till midnight. After a few words of thanks and congratula tions from Dr. Aickin and the rendering of the National Anthem, a very pleasant even ing was brought to a close.
