teaK_a_&Ba_aa-ia^ as regards the acting, though not distinguish able by much originality. This gentleman has a fine tenor voice, well trained* though not of an extensive range. His " Let me like a soldier fall" was given with great spirit and vigor. The caution dis played in two instances was welljudged. The performance was loudly applauded. His rendering of the gem " There is a flower that bloometh" was not perhaps so effective, though it displayed pathos and taste. In the duett with Maritana in the last act, at the meeting with hia wife, he displayed the rapture of-the joyful lover very powerfully, while his dignified demeanour before the King, whose conduct had so merited his anger, called forth deserved demonstrations of approval. Of Mr Rainford, as Don Jose, we must speak in high terms of praise. His voice is a fine rich liass*-^ ell under control, and with great. vg?>* His response to Maritana in tfcV J- T. -rfett, <« Those lovely eyes, thoseru^igh^dr'7T X _ave a* once an ea of his efficiency ihe quality of his tones. This good impression he sustained through out his difficult and intricate character. His greatest triumph was in the beautiful song, "In happy moments day by day." fn the aria, "So my courage still regaining " a lack of expression seemed to strike us. Mr Levisorj, as the King, was ap parently suffering from his travels, for his voice did.not shine to advantage. We are confident that better things may be expected of this gentleman, so we "will reserve our criticism of him to another time. We noticed that in the song, "Here me, gentle Maritana," he left out "The mariner and his barque," usually cor.sidered its great feature. Miss Lambert has a beautifully mellow mezzo soprano voice, and a delightfully attractive manner. She pleased us much from her , entire freedom from affectation and sfcaginess. In the opening of the second act she was warmly applauded for her tasteful ren dering of "Alas! those chimes so sweetly pealing." Of her duetts with Miss May we ' have already spoken. The chorus may be described as good. One, young lady was rather too desirous of being heard,and persis tently dragged out her notes beyond the others; but with one or two little exceptions the choruses went exceedingly well. Mr Allen appeared to have the orchestra finely in hand. The opera was beautifully mounted, all the accessories were in good style, and consorted well with the piece. The scenery by Mr Willis was exceedingly pretty, espe cially the drawing-room scene on the second act. There can be no doubt that the com pany made a very favorable impression, and we already anticipate for them a successful season. To-night the "Lily of Killarney" is to be produced. . , .

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before Messrs W. J. Hurst and W. A. Graham, Justices of the Peace.) DRUNKENNESS. Alexander Crombie (on bail), Mary Ann Edwards (a new chum), and Matilda Morgan were charged with being drunk and otherwise behaving' themselves disorderly in Queen street last evening, and were dealt with in the usual manner, viz., 103 and costs, or the alternative of 48 hours to the home at Mount Eden. A BAD CASE. James Hennesy, who was described as giving a great deal of trouble to the police and as an habitual drunkard, was' at first ordered to be sent to gaol'for one month with hard labour, but; afterwards the penalty was fixed, through pleading that he would not be troublesome again, at a fine of 20s or 48 hours. BREACH OS THE VAGRANT ACT. P. Hume, charged with being drunk and committing a breach-of the above Act, was re remanded till to-morrow to enable the police to find proof ofcertain statements made by prisoner. SUMMONS CASES. John Pinkey appeared, on remand, to answer to three charges which were preferred against him, namely, of assaulting Hans Smith, masterof the barque Minova, on the 30th of June, at Auckland j also of striking. one Elias Desmond on the head with a sauce pan on the same data ; also of assaulting John Bull by striking him upon the head with his fist, and upon the iorehead with a saucepan on the same date at Auckland. Prisoner pleaded guilty j and his lawyer, on his behalf, said that an arrangement was come to with each party that prisoner pay expenses and costs, and asked the Bench that the cases might be withdrawn. The cases were withdrawn accordingly.

VOLUNTEER SCRIP.

(To the Editor of the Evening Stab.) Sib, — "Volunteer". in your issue of the 2ad instant deserves thanks of his brother Volunteers for bringing this matter forward. It is very evident that-you did not ex perience the pleasure of carrying a rifieon your shoulder a march of twenty-five miles a-day, with the then-usual result of chafed hams, under Fox Russell and company's martial screw, otherwise you would have added a more sympathetic editorial note to "Volunteer" respecting the selection of land under Volunteer's scrip. Will you be good enough to inform us where the land is we can select from? Has the province a single acre available worth the taking up ? You may instance Rangitoto as available, and no doubt it is a fair Sample of what is left of the Provincial estate, or Volunteers the option of selecting from ; any other, upon enquiry, comes' under the head of "Ifot Waste Lands." In fact the issue of said scrip wasr a mere farce, the. Pro vincial Government had not the land to give. It is only,- such pets as Mr Vasey Stewarb and paupers sixteen thousand miles,off that are worth considera tion in such matters. Those.who were the means of opening and settling theconntry, by both loss of time, and waste of means, deserve nothing better than a scoria stone or a elay hill, without evea. fern roots, while these are entreated to accept the best the province possesses. Don't give us a kick, Mr Editor, when you cannot give us the land; our breeches deserve better recognition. We got enough of sliish at the time whsn harnessec! as Commisariat donkeys to Her Majesty's regulars. — Another Volunteer — Joe Cook.—[We spoke not a word against the claims of Volunteers per se. No one can accuse this journal, of indifference to, the cause of volunteering. But we have scant sympathy for the land-sharks who have bought up scrip for an old song. However, probably legislation at Wellington this ses ssjoi wiU make things right.—Er>. 12.5.]

OLSON'S FIRE.

j»cf p the Editor of the Evening Star.) 4 t M; —Your reporter; deserves to be bonneted %M. his inaccuracy -with the empty pails. What I did when I arrived at the fire, three a.m., was quickly to advise Mr Olson not to waste his water and time (he was doing both) in any attempt to put it out. The fire had then already obtained a complete mastery over the entire building, and had made a clean sweep at the entrance, where it was very evident it had just burst forth with singu larly ferocity. Assistance quickly arriving what could be removed, from the rear, of the building was, saved. Then followed, the direction J gave to collect nU the availabl

buckets and tubs, fill them with water from the gully below for the preservation in case of need of the sawn timber stacked within a very few feet of the fired building. At half past four the worst was over, and the crowd dispersed. —Yours, &c, J. H. Hoknk.

AMUSEMENTS.

THE CIRCUS,

The Siamese and Asiatic Circus was very well patronised last evening, and a very fair sprinkling of visitors were present. Daring the evening many of the performances were loudly applauded. The grand piece, " Ma zeppa," or the Wild Horse of Tartary," will be produced, which will be a great attraction in addition to the sights of the circus. ~I # CALIFORNIA MINSTRELS. This company of talented Minstrels at tracted a large number of persona at the City Hall last evening, and their songs and dances were received with the applause which they really deserved. Several fresh ballads were introduced into the first part of the evening's programme, such as " When the,moon with glory brightens," by Mr Campbell. " The days of happy childhood," byMrAmery. "Killarney," a-good song by Mr Eockefeller, "Lannigan's Ball," liy Mr Harry Kelly, and " Hannah, how's your Ma," very prettily rendered by Mr Charles Sutton. Mr Mayor sang " I'm leaving thee in sorrow, Annie," in a very pleasing manner. The remaining songs and performances were given with equal credit. CATHOLIC INSTITUTE. The anniversary entertainment of the Catholic Literary Institute came off in^their own hall last evening. The evening was very damp, but notwithstanding the hall was ' well filled. We have been at several of their annuals, and have always found them patron ised by a select and appreciative audience, who have gone there determined to be pleased with everybody and everything, from Mr p_'s "Confound the cat" to Mr M—'s " Caadle Lectnre." Miss Shanaghan, a young lady who takes the liveliest interest* in every entertainment in connection with the institute, and seems to us to be the guiding star for the young ladies in all musical matters, presided at the piano during most of the evening. The opening was an overture by the Hobson Band, under the able leadership of Mr McComish, who by-the way gave an excellent cornet solo, "Swiss Airs," and was encored. "Friendship" (chorus) was rendered by the whole of the performers in a really creditable manner. Mr Henry Thompson, a young gentleman of considerable musical ability, but whose occu pation prevents him from giving that time to its cultivation which is necessary to make a good singer, sang "The Sexton" with credit. "Sweet Home" was sweetly sung by Miss NaughtoD, and was the gem ofgthe evening. For the encore this lady sang "The Lonely Harp." A reading followed, which did not seem to have been wisely selected. Mr and Miss Tole next sang a duet, "Gornami adu che Mami," and a quartette, "Boatman's Vesper Hymn," by Miss Sheehan, Miss Taylor, Mr Tole and Mr Plunket followed. "Shyließawn" was but indifferently sung, the young gentleman displaying- too much affectation, which might do very well in an Italian opera. " Bridesmaid Chorus," by the whole of performers, and a galop by the band, concluded the first part of the pro gramme. The "Eclipse Polka," by the band, commenced the second part, followed by a chorus from Ernani; duet, "A Voice from the Waves;" song, boys," very well sung by Mr Plunket. "Dermot Asthore" was also sweetly rendered. A reading came next, in which Mrs Caudle severely catechised her husband for lending a friend five pounds. " Margaretta" was sung by Mr J. A. "iole in a very affected manner, but waa nevertheless encored, and "The Whistling Thief " was the response. ".List to the Convent Bells," by Miss Naughton and Miss Taylor followed, in which these young ladies acquitted themselves admirably. The anvil chorus, from II Trovatore, with band accompaniment, was capital. A galop by the band, and "God save the Queen, " terminated a very pleasant evening.
