10-rnorrow evening in a most efficient manner, and will afford a spectacular" exhibition never before witnessed in Auckland. CITY HALL. The ever fun-provoking band of California Minstrels appeared again last evening before an excellent attendance with their varied repertoire of songs, dances, and burlesques. The patronage which this troupe is receiving with the strong of the opera must be very gratifying, and is evidence of the excellence of the entertainment. The programme last night was new, and contained selections of the most varied character, and calculated to please +J>-"~.taste of everybody. The programme Wffe^jehed by an overture by the company^-ip^otlierj Dear," which was rendered wif ,6 and precisidrt. Mr Campbell agaij^ nmf^ the audience by the expressrv. ..<>ner in which he gave "When the/X"s;^>witli glory brightens," followed bjf'v %kefeller in his song of " Killarney^'Cic^licited applause. " The days of happy childhood" was truthfully Sang by Mr Arnery, while the feeling manner in whie'll Mr. Mayor gave •• I'm leaving thfie iii sorfpw,, Arinife" drew a, responsive echo from his listeners. Messrs Sutton and Kelly infused mirth into their comic renderings, and the first part was concluded with " Scenes at the Circus," a capital burlesque, and affording great merriment. A vocal quartette by Messrs Mayor, Rockefeller, Campbell, and Amery was in good harmony, and applauded, not omitting the banjo solo by Mf Rockefeller, The rest of the pro-' gramme included a double song and dance* "The Doctor's Shop," "As like as two Ps," and a sketch entitled "The Tourists," in. which members of the company took part, affording a pleasant evening's enjoyment.

ARRIVAL OF THE SUEZ MAIL.

The s.S; City of Adelaide* which arrived in harbour to-day, brings the Auckland portion of the Suez mail. The letters and papers were delivered during the afternoon. We take the following summary of news from home papers :— • LONDON.

May 15. Mr and Mrs Farmer, of Auckland, New Zealand, were presented at the last Drawing Room, the former by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and the latter by Lady Edward Cavendish.

The case of "M'Lean v. Me Andrew and others " has been before the Judicial Com mittee Of the Privy Counbil. Sir R; Collier fave judgment from the Appeal Court of New ealand, which had Set aside a judgment of the Supreme Court and dissolved an injunc tion as to some proclamations of the Gold Fields Act. His Lordship went over the case, and said the committee would advise Her Majesty that the judgment of the Appeal Court be affirmed, and the present appeal be dismissed with cost 3.

Nearly 5,000 labourers left England for New Zealand-alone during the month of April. Many of these have gone from Ox fordshire and t the adjoining counties, and the present month will see an exodus of another 5,000 or more} seme ships having already sailed and. others being on the eve of doing

The strikes in the agricultural, iron, and coal districts remain unsettled. - Some have resumed work, bat the bulk tif them have resolved to continue the strike.

Captain Glover, K.C.M.G., who did |so much to bring the Ashantee Expedition to a successful issue, had two brothers in the last New Zealand war. They both served in the same regiment, and fell victims to duty. Advancing at the head of their men, mostly natives, both fell, pierced with wounds, to rise no more. Their father, once an officer in the British army, and afterwards a clergy man, I am told, is still alive.

THE OPERA.

Last night the English Opera Company pro duced the " Lily of Killarney," by Sir' Julius Benedict, ahi opera which is at strong con trast with the Maritana of the previous night. In addition to the entire difference in the Bt/le cf music and wide dissimilarity of the plots there is the distinction that, whereas in Maritana the whole burthen of the work foils upon the shoulders of the heroine, in the " Lilly of Killarney," the business is distributed more evenly, for this reason we should have preferred.to have reviewed the performance at some length, but unfor tunately the arrival of the Suez mail and several foreign vessels has so filled our limited spacethatweare compelled to cur tail our remarks: The calibre of the Com pany was from the cause just mentioned fully tested last night, and we are delighted to pronounce that the ordeal has been the occasion of a great triumph on the part of our visitors. Miss May's delineations of the heroine Eily O'Connor was a very complete impersonation — completer, we think, than Maritana., The grand .power of voice pos sessed by this lady was shewn as admirably as on the preceding evening, while her dis criminating analysis of character was exhibited far more strongly. The lightheartednesa and trustfulness of the Colleen Bawn was hit off to the life, while the opposite of the character, its depth of feeling and loftiness of self-sacrifice received fine treatment. In several of the songs Miss May was accorded rapturous applause. Her greatest triumph was in the magnificent ballad, "I'm alone, I'm alone," in the second act. Benedict's music in this beautiful gem rises to a grandeur which is almost sublime/ and fairly speaks the sad story which the words convey. Every beauty1 was'developed fully by Miss May, and at its conclusion there was a storm of approbation. The performance was notice able for introducing Messrs Temple ton and Verrion to our notice.. The former depicted the villain I^-uneyinan, and the latter Myles na CopgaAchr' Of Mr. Templeton we have i conceive^ Oali try high opinion. He has a very i powerfulgffl f wonderfully elastic voice, and what is fcjrp. knows how to use it. His ' acting, "weH"^ without hesitation, is as good as any exs'jSed in the Company. -He sang " The. moolAath raised her lamp on nigh" with fine effect, and his recitative in the second act was applauded to the echo. Mr Vernon,; who, like Mr, Templeton, has a fine baritone Toioe, made an excellent impression. Miss Lambert, as Anne Chute, was natural,' pretty r . and effective. In the Hunting I Chorus her voice was heard to great advant age. Mr Rainford took the part of Father Tom very well. His song, o " Thus goes the world around "-was much applauded. Mr Hallaan, as Hardress, played with more animationthan on the preceding night, He

has fine talent, and should ptove a favorite. Mr Levison's Corrigan was a performance of some merit. Miss Howe imparted too little " go" in the part of Mrs Cregan, but this lady both sings and acts well. The scenery was the best we have seen in Auckland yet. Mr Willis contrived some beautiful effects, especially in the water scene. The orchestra was not quite up to the mark, but is must be remembered that the opera is a new one. There was another fnll house. To-night ''La Somnambula " will be played. 1
