AMUSEMENTS.

EOYAL ENGLISH OPERA COMPANY. The excellent company of accomplished artistes which form the Royal English Opera Company will make their first appearance this evening in the Prince of Wales Theatre, and will present for the first time to aa Anckland public the beautiful and romantic opera of "Maritana," by Wallace, the lead ing character by Miss Alice ',May, whose genius has been recognised and extolled by critics wherever this lady has made f her appearance. The cast of characters includes Messrs Levison, Bainford, Vernon, Hallam, Lester, Wilkinson, and Misses May, Lam bert. Howe, and Harris. The scenery, newly painted, is in harmony with the scenes of the opera. The peasantry, soldiers, villagers, and rustic associations also will be in strict keeping, and will be in accompanied with a full grand band, grand chorus, and corps de lallet, Mr G. B. Allen (Oxon) will conduct, and Mons A. Fleury, of Paris, will lead the music. In brief Mr Evans, the business manager, and Mr "Raphael, the general agent have determined to spare no expense to render the standard opera of "Maritana" a splendid success in this city, and we believe their laudable efforts will not have been in vain. CATHOLIC INSIITCTE. The annual entertainment of the Auckland Catholic Literary Society will take place this evening in the above hall. A splendid pro gramme is prepared, and we have no doubt the hall will be crowded, as' is usual when this anniversary entertainment comes round. PRTNCK OF WALE 3 THEATRE. The farewell performance of the Poley family on Saturday evening was but thinly attended, although the programme possessed additional attractions'' The pieces selected were " No. 1 Round the Corner" and the " Yankee Pedlar," which was of a humourous description, and well seasoned with Yankee witticisms. CALIFORNIA!! MINSTRELS. This highly-talented company of minstrels met with a cheering reception in the City Hall on Saturday evening, and were received in that enthusiastic manner which their ver satile and singular talents deserve. The eongs in the first part are full of pathos, and beautiful in their simplicity, and each bal lad is exactly suited to the peculiar powers of the singers. The banjo performances were admirable. Several new features will be introduced this evening, including the "Doctor's Shop," the "Tourists," and Messrs Sutton and Kelly's double songs and dances. As the charges of admittance to this entertainment have been reduced to come within the reach of every one, viz., front seats, 3s ; second do., 2s ; and back do., Is, we anticipate crowded houses for the re mainder of their stay. MAMMOTH PAVILION. There was a large attendance at the Siamese and Asiatic Circus on Saturday evening. There will be an entire change of programme this evening, including "Love in a Tub," and the remarkable drama of "Mazeppa, or the Wild Horse of Tartary," adapted from Byron's well-known poem of that title. A full band will also be in attend ance, and a grand tilting tournament.
