LAST NIGHT.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.)

Court-house at Hokianga

Replying to Mr Williams, Mr Reynolds said the Government intended shortly to call for tenders for a new Court-house at Hokianga, but would not erect a new Custom-house. Tenders would also be called for the erection of a Court-house at Whangaroa. Representation Bill. The House met at 7 '30. Upon going into committee upon the Repre sentation Bill, Mr. O'Connor made an un successful attempt to have the debate reported in Hansard. Mr. Murray moved the postponement of clause two. Replying to Mr O'Connor, Mr Sowen announced that the Government •would not oppose certain alterations in boundaries, but would not accept a resolution regarding additional members of which there were several. Sir Dillon Bell attacked the bill as devoid of principle. He said Mataura had more right to another member than Napier or Waitaki. Mr Macandrew agreed with him. Mr. O'N reil first moved that an extra mem ber be given the Thames to make three altogether. Mr. Murray said give an extra member to the Thames, another to Dunedin, dropping all the rest and the House would pass the Bill at once; Thereupon a very long dis cussion ensued. The following members agreed with the Thames having an extra member : Messrs. Bryce, Thomson, Wales, Sir George Grey, W. Kelly, and Stafford. Mr. Ormond went into the question of the position, population and exports of Napier, to show she ought to have another member, more so than any other province but West land. Mr. O'Connor warmly advocated another member for Buller. Messrs Reid and Mervyn supported the bill. Mr. Tairoa gave notice he would move for a native member for Waikato. Clanse two was postponed and three and four passed. Clause fi?e occupied the House the remainder of the sitting. Those objecting were Messrs White, McGlUivray, Montgomery, Hunter aud Bowen.

Major Jackson said if they would not grant an extra member to the Thames they should join a portion of Waikato to the Thames and then grant the other member. Mr Andrew supported this, but Mr Buck land opposed. Sir George Grey then made an earnest speech in favour of Mr O'Neil's motion, and spoke of speaking all that sitting and next day and so en in committee until the Go vernment had assented to so reaaonable and just a request. Mr Dignan wanted the extra member to be given to Coromandel instead of the Thames.

Mr Montgomery said if they gave way in one case they would have to increase the number of members to hundreds.

Sir Donald McLean and Mr. Luckie pointed out that it would be impossible to Bay where to stop if they once gave way. Sir George Grey having made another speech, Mr. Bowen said they might tell him at once, they could not accede to his entreaties on behalf of the Thames. Mr. Yon der Heyde favoured giving it and Dunedin a member each, that being the only increase. Mr. Bunny wanted progress reported to allow the Government to consider a proposal that agreed with the views of so many. Mr. White, though an opponent of the Government, thought they were as fair as they could be in the bill. Mr. May supported Mr. O'Neill. Upon division, Mr O'Neill's amendment was lost by 37 against 21. Mr Sheehan then moved that Coromandel should have one member. The amendment lost by 30 to 23. Mr W. Kelly moved that Napier be omitted, and the Southern and East Coast district be substituted in the clause. ' The discussion upon this was kept up till nearly half-past two. The Ministry agreed with the amend ment. Mr Sheehan moved to report progress. Mr Macandrew said they ought to do so on grounds of humanity. Sir Dillon Bell protested solemnly against forcing through at one sitting so important a BUI. The Government not objecting, progress ■was reported. Member's Ball. It was decided that in consequence of the member's ball, the House be adjourned till 7.30 on Wednesday. The House adjourned at 2.40. Government Land Transactions.

In the Legislative Council it was resolved on the motion of Dr Menzies, " That in the opinion of this Council the purchase of the native lands by the Government should, in due regard for the best interests of the colony be conducted with the most scrupulous integrity and honour ; and that, therefore, it is incumbent upon the Government to exer cise the greatest care in the selection of agents for that important duty." . The Prorogation. 19 It is understood that Parliament will prorogued on Thursday week next, at three in the afternoon.

AMUSEMENTS.

o PBINCB OF "WALKS THEATRE " The "Wii/loay* Pone " was produced for the second time at the theatre last night and went iff well. The audience was not a crowded one, but the "hmse" made up in demotstrativeness what U lacked In numbers. Miss Carry George fully sustained her reputation as Ihe heroine of the viece, and was ably seconded in her efforts by Miss Lizzie Morgan, Messrs Lawrence and Collier, and the rest of the Company. To-night the splendid comedy of "Love's Sactidce" wll be produced. This is always a favorite dramatic composition, and will draw a good attendance, BARLOW'S FAMOUS CIRCUS. This innocent and mirth-inspiring exhibition was re-opened last evening, and fortunately for all pc rsons concerned, the heavens were propitious, the rain ceased to drop, and the stars came twinkling1 forth in the celestial fields of blue. The band, an excellent one, under the control of Bandmaster, O'Donnell, a veteran in the realm of music paraded the city previously to the hour of opening, and played a numbsr ef airs which acted successfully on the people, if last night's audience may be taken as a criterion. Some thirty minutes before the commencement a crowd of eagrr persons gathered around the circling pavilion waiting for admittance. A few interesting additions were made to the ordinary programme. The beautiful ponies performed in first-c.ass order, and elicited frequent cheering as they danced and capered in the fairy ring. The dogs and monkeys delighted the spectators with their clever tricks, and the bur lesque of the great Liverpool Steeplechase was greeted by younsr and old with the exuberant feelings of youth. This was. in fact, one of the liveliest of the circus scenes. The clown also seemed all the better for a temporary resnite, and his series of jokes and witticisms were enunciated with care and more highly spiced with drol'ery. The human tumbler and knight rider, with his pet "Butterfly," provoked general admiration. The rostinee performance to-day at at two o'clock was well attended, and the perform anceswere pie'ted by the fuJl heart? of the childrtn.

"WESLEYAN CHURCH S^ntEE. 5 he Pitt-street social gathering of last evening was a great success. About 400 ladies and gentlemen sat down to a smmptoous tea provided by the ladies. After tea the meeting commenced, F. L. Prime. Esq., Mayor, in the chair. Mr Prime having made his introductory speech, with suitable comment"! on the position and prospects of the church, called on Mr Thomas Buddie to read the report, which was cara fHlly drawn up and of a very encouraging nature. The balance-sheet was equally satisfactory, and although there was but a small balance in hand, the church had spent the sum of £1300, gathered from home sources, in a useful and benencient manner The Bey. Warlow Bavies followed with an excellent speech on the subject of amusements, which wa3 es pecially discriminating and suggestive.

The choir, at intervals, under the able directorship of Mr Bridson, performedjeveral selec tions of s*cred music in a most efficient manner. The " Old Old Story" was an exquisite performance. At the close, votes of thanks were proposed and carried by acclamation; first by Mr. Edson to the choir second by Mr. J. L. Wilson to the ladies, third by Rev. A Reid to the chairman all of which were fracefallv ucknowledged. The doxology and bene diction closed a harmonious and pleasantr^ing.

Arrival of the Emu.

LATE riJIA N X EWS.

By the "Emuj which arrived this afternoon from Levuka, we have Fijian files up to the 2nd instant. We clip the following items :—

THE DAUNTLESS TOWED IN,

The Hawaiian schooner Dauntless, which it will be remembered was stranded some four or five weeks since on the Outer Reef, about fifteen miles to the south of Levuka, was towed into port on Thursday evening, 30th September, by the Pride of Yiti, looking very dilapidated* and evidently cocsiderably the worse for the knocking about she has subtained upon her inhospitable resting place. Nevertheless, it is very satisfac tory to see, in the interests of the under writers, that the ship was not a total wreck, as many asserted she would be ; and, thanks to the perception of Lieutenants Wannon and Maxwell, and Mr Childs, carpenter of H.M.S. Barracouta, who surveyed the beautiful schooner, she may again be got rfeady for sea. The management of getting the vessel off the reef and bringing her to Levuka, rested with Mr Plaisted, ship builder, under the immediate supervision of Captain Berril, owner of the vessel. Every assistance has been kindly rendered by Captain Stevens, of the Barracouta ; and the Govtrnor, also, has taken a great interest in the unfortunate affair. Captain Bernl had placed at his disposal ihe stores of her Majesty's ship, and the (government supplied him with a number of foreign labor. We understand tenders are to be immediately called for the repairs of the vessel.

The barque Prospector sailed from Levuka for Auckland four days before the Emu. J

A man-of-war schooner, supposed the Beagle, was sighted on the Gth inst. A company of the Roj-al Engineers, under command of Colonel Pratt, arrived at ]J3vuka by the Egmont.

The barque Albion arrived at Levuka on the 27th September, after a passage of eight days.

Lady Gordon and the family of ihe Gover nor arrived by the Egmon^. . At a pubiic meeting held at Levuka, an address of condolence was adopted, and to be sent to Mrs. Goodenough. His Excel lency presided at the meeting. It is proposed to erect a monument to the memory of Commodore Goodenough at Wai tova, one of hia favourite resorts. The late Order in Council is supposed to apply to two native chiefs to windward. The whites regard it as a good measure. The Royal Engineers started surveying the township soon after their arrival. The capital is not yet decided on. It is nearly certain, that Levuka will be the chosen spot. A large market place for the natives has been erected near Totoga. There is every prospect of a sugar-mill being erected at Dreketi shortly. Some fire-clay from Suva has been favour ably tested by Messrs Potter and Co. The ship John Rennie was sighted by the Emu the day before yesterday. The October sessions were to commence on the 4th inst. The principal case is said to be Armstrong v. Joske to recover £2,000 damages for breach of contract. The barque Bhering lefb for Sydrey the same time as the Prospector for Auckland. The Fiji papers speak favourably of the barque Albion as a great addition to the harbour facilities. We are sorry to learn that Mr Brewer, of the firm of Brewer & Mannelle, left Levuka in the Prospector a perfect invalid. He had to be carried on board.

AUCKLAND CHORAL SOCIETY.

It is somewhat difficult to arrive at a fair estimate of the merit of Sterndale Bennett's "May Queen," which formed the leading feature of last night's concert. The piece is not an operetta, but a pastoral cantata. It can lay no claim whatever to any dramatic merit; but, viewed merely as a descriptive piece, it occupies the first rank among modern secular compositions. The music is light and attractive, but there is a want of design about the whole. The overture is too elaborate for what follows it; and the music allotted to the Queen is of the very mildest kind, while the chorus at her majesty's departure - "God Save the Queen" —is simply ridiculous in effect. Indeed were it not for the bold and original song "'Tis Jolly to Hunt," and the charming trio "The Hawthorn in the GJade" (which by the bye is rather cut of dimensions with the rest of the piece), the cantata would probably have passed into oblivion before this. We may mention that the "May Queen" was composed for the Leeds Musical Festival of 1858. The author was then about thirty years old. Its popularity may be at tributed more to the reputation which had distinguished Bennett on the continent under Mendelssohn's tuition than to any other cause. Bennett excelled as a teacher of music. In this capacity he won many friends, and by his death (which took place last January), Eng land lost one of her ablest and most zealous professors. The performance of the "May Queen" last night was uneven. The solos were above the average ; the chorus very much below ; and the band was at times overwhelming in strength, and at times scarcely audible. Mrs Mitchell threw all possible life and energy into the part of the May Queen : and her lover (Mr Edward Harker) sang with care, though deficient in animation. As the Queen, Miss Vaughan acquitted herself with credit; and the bold Robin Hood was ably represented by Mr Geo. Harker, who possesses a fine voice of considerable power. His song was capitally sung, but the trio following was not well rendered. The second part comprised a delightful selection of music ; an overture by Rossini, and a set of German slow waltzes, both exceedingly well played by the band; two part songs given with more than usual precision ; and three solos by ladies. We rather question the desirability of this last feature. It imposes on the reviewer a very delicate task, and those who were at the " Singing Bee" on the previous evening can sympathise with us in our position. But we are determined to speak plainly though kindly. Miss Leaf chose for her song the recitative and air, "Scenes that are brightest," from "Mari tana." She was in admirable voice and sang with good taste, but the words in the recitative, were occasionally indistinct. Miss Vaughan sang " The Beating of my own Heart," which is to us so inseparably asso ciated with Miss Christian—i.e., the song, not the palpitation—that we are inclined to doubt the wisdom of the choice. Her voice and pronunciation are both good, and her expression admirable, in fact a reproduction of Miss Christian's, but she has a tendency to "rounding" some of her upper notes in such a manner as to impair the tune. Both Miss Leaf and Miss Vaughan were warmly applauded, the latter being encored. Lastly, Mrs Mitchell sang the simple and pathetic ballad, "The Blind Girl's Dream." Every note and every syllable rang distinct through the hall, and notwithstanding . a break in her voice, which marred the completeness of the song, and made one tremble for the singer, she reached the highest notes with clearness and without any apparent effort.
