Hfltcb interest. Mr Collier and his associates are of great assistance at the circus, and give variety and change to the equestrian circle. The afternoon performances were well attended by the little members of the Industrial School and Orphanages of the city, and pleased the youngsters immensely. THE VIVIAN COMIQTJE TROUPE. The members of this established troupe of vocalists and dramatic representatives enter tained a large audience at the Onehunga Institute on Saturday evening. Mr Shapter made his. first appearance with considerable suocess, in company Mr Mason, the nigger melodist and dancer. The farce of the evepu k was " Cupboard Love," which Wis hj^ ~ ' received. Miss Melville was much a'^bsidid nOTrwdth her characteristic imperso nate' v - new comic duet, " Matrimonial Squabbles," was given by the author, Mr Vivian, and elicited prolonged applause. The troupe will appear again to-night in the Institute, and repeat their sketchy and laughable representations.

THE ENGLISH OPERA COMPANY.

The "Grand Duchess" was re-produced to a capital house on Saturday night. The night was wretchedly wet, but in spite of this the dress circle and stalls were well patronised by ladies. The performance was equally successful with that of Thursday. The cast of characters was the same. Miss Alice May, as the lively and susceptible Duahess, was again applauded to the echo for^ her fine singing and acting. • Say to him au impress he's made " was the gem of the evening, though the " Drinking" song in the last act was honored with an encore. This a fine rollicking composition, but is not to be com pared for beauty of expression with the first named selection. Mr Rainford was again very great in his bombastic character of General Boom. The other characters were all fairly represented. This evening the com pany will produce Balfe's " Bohemian Girl," an exceedingly .popular opera with all English audiences. It contains some of the best known and most favorite airs, duets, and choruses. There is sure to be a large house, so those who have not secured seats should go early. By-the-bye Cameo, in his weekly contribution to "Under the Verandah," confesses to having made a fool of himself the other night at the opera in the front row of the stalls. We never knew who Cameo was before, but if that was Cameo who on Thursday night was present with' his wife and children in that position we have our eye on him, and caution him as to.his future behaviour. It is bad enough when a man amuses himself by cracking nuts during the whole time of an operatic performance, but when not content with doing it himself he provides his wife and four children with a Bagful each it is too much. Cameo, beware !

COROMANDEL.

This day.

THE ORANGE ANNIVERSARY

Sermon was preached in Coromandel hall yesterday afternoon by the Rev Mr Dews« bury, and was largely attended. The sub ject was the "Claims of Romanism is to be considered the only true church." The points of antiquity, infallibility and unity were touched on. The proceedings passed off quietly. The supper is to be held this evening, and will be numerously attended. The Manager of the Union Beach reports being on gold to-day £ A nice lot of speci mens have been taken from a leader between No. 2 and 3 winze,, about 100 feet from where the last gold was got. The Tokatea have another parcel of speci mens.

The New Pacific is looking well. The Tokatea stone from No. 1 pass is showing gold. From the tribute leader the bos of the shift is at present bagging about twenty pounds of specimens. The City of Auckland is showing good gold, but nothing-worth bagging.

NAPIER.

This day.

A strong' party is being formed in opposi tion to the old identities, and finds its exponent in the "Telegraph," an independent and spirited journal. There will be lively times next election, and Mr Ormond will have a hard struggle for the Superinten dency. It is Very doubtful whether Mr MoLean will secure a majority for the General Assembly. The new party care not for old politioal squabbles, but are determined to teach our present member that they can not be ridden over rough-shod. Carlisle, the bellows-blower of the HawJces' Bay Herald, a paper that is now but the shadow of its former self, has made himself look ridiculous in the Council.

WELLINGTON.

This day.

McDonald was sentenced this morning to three years penal servitude, the shortest term the Act allowed. Before being dis charged the prisoner is to find sureties for keeping the peace in his part of the country ; himself in £500, two sureties of £50 each. The Judge gave a long address, in the course of which he said he could not entertain the prisoner's statement in extenuation. Having received Young with the utmost cordiality, and even tried to obtain a passage in the coach, and failing to ' obtain that, he then deliberately' shoots his horse nnder pretence of doing something to satisfy Ratios, and so prevent wwgethiUjß; —one

being done, could only be characterised as base and treacherous conduct. It was people such as he who so much retarded the progress of the enlightenment of the native race. When sentence was passed upon McDonald, the Palmerston surveyor, who is his son in law, was so overcome by his feeiings that he had to be carried out. The Manawatu Maories interested in McDonald's fate sent a telegram to Mr Travers stating that if McDonald was imprisoned something will happen. The passengers by the Waikato, from London, arrived in excellent condition. They will be landed to-day,and placed in the immigration barracks.

The rapidly increasing importance of Onehunga ai a port of arrival and departure, the extension of the railway, the connecting of the peninsula with Mangere, and the general favour Onehunga has obtained as a place of pleasurable resort,- has induced the Proprietor to spare neither pains or expense to make it A FIRST-CLASS FAMILY, COMMERCIAL, AND travellers' hotel. The establishment has been so re-arranged as to afford the best accommodation for visitors in transitu between the por and other ports of the colony; aa also for those who seek Onehunga as A MARINE TREAT, whether for pleasure or health. The accommodation comprises COMMERCIAL, TRAVELLERS*, PUBLIC, AND' * PRIVATE ROOMS. The Bedrooms are spacious, well-ventilated, and comfortably furnished. Every attention, under very irpjrienced management, is paid to the wants of customers.
