LATEST SOUTHERN NEWS.

WELLINGTON.

This day. The Star of the South arrived last night. She proceeds South to-day. The Governor and Lady Fergusson were at Alice May's benefit. Over 1000 people were present, being the greatest house ever Beenin Wellington. 500 people were sent gway, and the management refused to sell any more tickets at 7.20. It was an enthu siastic audience, and showers of bouquets were thrown for which the demand far exceeded the supply at the florists. The Luna proceeds North to-day, and will bring back the northern members of the General Assembly.

CHRISTCHURCH.

AMUSEMENTS.

PKINCE OF WALES THEATRE,

The fine night was favorable to the manager tad company now performing at the Prince of Wales Theatre. The house was well attended last night on the reproduction of "Formosa," which will be repeated for the list time this evening. The various actors filled their respective parts with much credit; butaß we have already noticed Formosa at length we are not disposed to use vain repeti tions. Mr Douglas will take his benefit with Miss Docey Mainwaring on Friday evening, for.which occasion a special bill of fare will be provided. PONSONBY HALL. The Vivian Royal Comique Troupe will ippear to-night in the Ponsonby new hall, »nd will present a variety of comicalities, dances and illustrations of nigger life. As this will be the only opportunity the people of Ponsonby will have of witnessing the drolleries and happy peculiarities of this troupe in their midst they will not regret embracing such opportunity of visiting Pon- Bonby Hall this evening.

CITY HALL,

We were glad to notice that Mr Bachelder's excellent colossean pantascope in the City Hall was much better attended last evening than on the previons night. The scenes were the same as heretofore, consisting of American mountain, lake and city scenery, With, glimpses of Tasmania, Honolulu, Auck l»nd and Sydney, with accompanying descriptions seasoned with rich Yankee mmour, and anecdotes in the lecturer's tell ing manner. The nigger melodies and pedestal dance by Mr Frank Verten were pleasing and took immensely, while the music of the orchestra gave a charm to the general proceedings.

MRS TOMES' CONCERT. This lady's concert last evening in Newton Hall was fairly attended, and many of the pwces were well received by the audience. The solos on the piano were well performed by Mrs Tomes', and and others by the company creditably rendered; Madame Moller sang "I'll follow Thee," with much spirit. " The Hunterof Tyrol," an exceUent ballad, was too Hurriedly given by Mr A. H. Spicer, and the ecnoeß which form the charm of the produc tion were consequently lost. Mr Spicer was scarcely equal to his task. His recitation "I'fljnot a Single Man" was go faulty in delivery. "The Convent selle was prettily sung by the Misses vdes» wno kept excellent time and sang w«n good taste. Mis ß Tomes possesses com ("•f.^oica, and sang the solo, "Comeback w-win,' with care and iadgment, but we «Mot say so much of the beautiful duet, What are the Wild Waves saying?"

"The Happy Bride that the jLJ^son" was sung in a pleasant «nws ?Mm¥- Blaydes, and deservedly incinJi j -V^ second part of the concert ratted solos and duets; and Miss Fair tate«^.?°. mPany'^th Madame Moller, was S^f1"1^» pretty duet, "The Messenger folk j very sweet effusion was grace "HirV Tei. red fey Miss Tomes; also,, J^Rf j ear an"'Angel sing," by Miss *tt w n The concert in ■ character mart • j"™^.and the selections evi tts^f and taste, but we regret that «• h« J* w ToDieß t0 amuse aud inter" «,«„"" faience did not meet with that «wt which it merited.

[Advertisement. ] (To the Editor of the Evening Svae.) Sir, —I think you will agree with me after reading this letter that the existing laws relative to debtor and creditor should be materially amended. A certain party whose initials are G. W. C, a builder, became my debtor to the tune cf £90. Having tried every means in my power to bring about an amicable settlement and failed, I sued him in the District Court and obtained judgment, with costs. Now, sir, to show you I did not wish to be hard on my debtor I offered, a fort night ago, to settle the matter by his paying me £60. He thanked me most heartily for my kindness, and promised to pay me the next day. That promise he has repeated every day since without fulfilling it. Yes terday he made a composition with his creditors to pay by instalments 3s 6d in the pound, and I find, although I was not a party to that arran£;ement, I am entirely at the fellow's mercy, and must either accept the composition or nothing. Now, Sir, I contend that this is a disgraceful state of things. C makes clamourous profession of being a Christian, and parade 3 his saint ike purity of heart and mini enough to make a monkey sick. Now, Mr Editor, I will, leave you to indge whether his actions are in accord aace with his profession. He was married this morning and furnished a house in the most sumptuous manner possible ; the most costly carpets are laid down ; the furniture of the richest—the value of it, in point of cost, sufficient to pay my claim twice told. And he has just started on his wedding tour snapping his fingers at me and my just rights, knowing that, as the law now stands, I am totally unable to bring him to book.— I am, Ac, James Stitt.

The two boys meet a milk boy In front of .the butcher's shop, and asked him for one pennyworth of milk in play, which caused a little merriment, which annoyed the butcher, and he said he would box their ears. They started running away, and he ran out of the shop after them, and struck Harvey and Harvey retaliated in self-defence. He laid hold of Harvey by the neck to drag him into the shop. The other boy goes to Harvey's assistance. Then a man named Bennett Interferes, 'and kicked the two boys. Bennet was courting a neighbours daughter at the time. Mr Blewden goes down to remonstrate with them about kicking his boy, then they was afraid we should summons the man Bennet for kick ing the boys, the neighbours persuade taw man, the butcher, to summons these two boys, wMchhead mitted to Mis *lewden was for the sake of the neigh bours Mr Richardson saw the butcher running after the boys and lay hold of Harvey by the neck, and dragging him towards the shop he asked them to let their y alone they told him to mind his own business; he told themthey ought to be ashamed to Mum a boy like t*at.
