PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

At the close of the holiday numbers of per sons repaired to the Prince of Wales Theatre and expressed their gratification at the treat provided for them. The "Country Cousins," a most , laughable farce, was sustained throughout ia the most animated manner, the several lady-actresses appearing to great advantage. The Girards figured between the dramatic pieces with equal success and made a great impression upon the audience and drew forth immense cheers. This remarkable performance having been concluded rnoafc success fully the lively burlesque of " .Black eyed Susan" was introduced, with Miss Clara Stephenaon as faithful William, and the pretty Miss Patty Holt as dependent Susan. Both these ladjes were deserving the praise which followed their delicate represen tations. The character of Captain Crosstree was exhibited with much talent by Mr Oily Deering. The intermediately and less pro minent characters were hit off cleverly by their respective representatives. The won derful Girards will give their last performance this evening, which will be under the patron age of the Regatta Club, when the lively farce of "Nan, the Good-for-Nothing " will be performed. We regret to learn the recent absence of Mr Sam Poole from the company's performances was caused by a severe attack of rheumatic gout, from which he is recover ing. '

YESTERDAY'S REGATTA.

Owing to the late hour in the afternoon at which the races were concluded we were not able to give the results of one or two of the latest, which we therefore give this evening. The Peerless returned from her solitary jour ney at a quarter past six o'clock. The Albatross was dodging about her during the latter part of her journey, we presume on a voyage of dis covery. The large cutter race proved a very ex citing contest. The boats arrived as follows:— Sovereiga of the Seas, 30 tons, first, at 6 "25 p.m. ; Start, 27 tons, as nearly aa possible, 6*28 p.m., second; and the Magic some dis tance behind. One of the Magic's blocks securing the jib halyards went as the boats were off Wang? proa, or she would have made a better fight of it. ' It was a fine finish between the first couple. The race {or sailing boats or yachts between 6 and 9 tons, ended in favour of the "Hit or Miss," which passed the flagship a consider able distance ahead of the Sabrina. The Lizard was leading easily till an accident brought her career of yic'ory loan untimely end. When going round the chequered buoy a heavy sea broke on board, and the little vessel being heavily ballasted sank like a stone, leaving her crew, consisting of H. Keane, the waterman, who is one of the proprietors, and three others, swimming for their lives. Fortunately the Hib or Miss came up in time to rescue the floundering unfortunates, or it would gone hard with them. As it is a question whether they will recover their boat. In connection with . this race, a protest was ' entered against the Hit or Miss or getting the prize, by Mr S tod art, the owner of the Sabrina, on the ground that his boat paid away and went to leeward to the assistance of the Lizard. He claims to have the race sailed, again in accordance with rule 12. The pro test we are informed will not be entertained, inasmuch as the Hit or Miss laboured under the same disadvantage, and actually Ten dered the assistance only attempted by the Sabrina. In the open sailing race the Mi randa came close ahead of the Pembroke who claims the race, on the ground that the Miranda did not go round one of the buoys: In the larger yacht race the order of prece dence, pending the entertainment of the protests, will.Btand;v^pTay6 1; Daphne, 2 j Secret, &■-*!&?**&£■' "* >3*l ■ •<£ -..:..■"■■' ..-.., i ,f'\[ ..

PROTESTS.

The following is the list of protests which have been received by the umpire, Mr D. H. MoKenzie j—From Mr Tho». Wioool ftg»ini<

the Spray on account 61 her having gone the wrong course in the larger yacht race. From Mr Thos Mccol against the Daphne on account of her entered tonnage being in correct, - From Mr George Strong against the Miranda taking the prize in the Open Boat Race, on account c>f her not having gone round the buoy off the North Shore Spit. From Mr Stodart against the Hit or Miss in the Yacht Race for boats between 6 and 9 tons, on account of the Sabrina having lost way to go to the assistance of the crew of the Lizard, under Rule 12. From Mr John Cole, master of the Petrel, against the Undine, in the smaller cutter race, for having started on the North side of 1 the flagship under sail. From Mr Harris, junr., against the Peer less taking the prize in the schooner race on account of Mr Niccol having entered the Gem and the Clematis merely to make a race. These protests will be entertained by the Committee at their first meeting, which will probably be on Monday night.

BOWING MATCHES THIS AFTER NOON.

The course for all the four-oared races was from the wharf, round a boat off Freeman's Bay, thence round boat off Mechanics' Bay, and back to wharf.

CUTTER RACE.

There are always a number of matches arising out of the Eegatfca. The first of these came off this afternoon, and was between the cutters Wave and Heather Bell, which came in third and fourth for the Smaller Cutter Eace. The race was for £10 aside, and over the same course as yesterday ones round. The race started at one o'clock, both vessels getting away splendidly to gether. A good deal .of interest was evinced in the result, and the betting was about level. Running down to the Drunken Bay buoy the Wave proved slightly the fastest, and turned about one minute before the Heather Bell. In the beat back both boats exhibited about the same weatherly qualities.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) This day. Sir Donald McLean. The annual spoits came off yeateiday, under the patronage of Sir Donald McLean. A large number of Europeans and natives were present from surrounding districts. The entries were numerous, and prizes well con tested for, the natives taking a good share. Sir Donald McLean is still here. He appears toJiave his hands full of business, judging from the number of his visitors.

Since then two patches of 100 lbs each of rich specimens have been obtained. Gold was still showing freely yesterday during the breaking down of quartz in the winze. Another run of gold has formed and several pounds of specimens were bagged. The Plutus has lodged nearly 60oz of gold.

LATEST SOUTHERN TELEGRAMS.

WELLINGTON.

(From our own correspondent.) , Tfiisday. The Colonial Bank. The Colonial Bank has commenced busi aess here, it is stated, under very favourable auspices, a large number of very good accounts being transferred to it already. Captain Logan and the Governor. A private letter from Auckland to the Tribune states that Captain Logan, of the Hero, has managed to fall into bad ©dour with both Governors, with neither of whom has he been very fortunate. Sir James Fer gusson was peculiar and enacting; and that he should not be an agreeable passengar is easily understood, but the genial Marquis, who is so considerate of those about him, is a different man, and whether urged to it by others,, or far whatever reason, report says he informed Captain Logan pnblicly at the breakfast table that he was much displeased, and should never travel by the Hero again. The captain expressed regret at the decision, but did not thak the. ship would therefore travel empty, nor lose popularity. The Governor thereon left the table, and now the ■authorities at Wellington are prosecuting Captain Logan for carrying too many passen gers on that Gubernatorial voyage, a curious coincidence, which some weuld call cause and effect, though it is hardly credible that the Government would serve a man out in that way. Dr. Featherston likely to Return. The last.political rumour is interesting to those who pray to the gods for chocks to stop the chariot wheels of the glorious Julius. Two of the famous political trio, known as the "three F's," are still bound together by ties of ancient personal friendship, and it is stated that Mr.Fox iavery likely to go away without resigning hi 3 seat for Rangi tikeij notwithstanding all the badgering he has: to suffer, and that his object and only object is to keep ifc nice and warm for his old friend the doctor, who, ia expected, to throw up the Agent- Generalship in disgust" the moment <he realises the object of Mjr Kennany's appoint ment, which is to goad him into resignation. Nearly, any Wellington constituency would return Dr. Featherston flying, if he re t«iiu anything of hi* old pwion»l powsr,

influence, yerbation, and spleen, lie might: Btiffen and sustain his energy. Then Mr, Vogel might look out for squalls. Sir George Arney's Refusal to Resign. The question now is how about Attorney- General Prendergast, since Sir George Arcey will insist upon donning the robes for another year. Mr Prendergaat has already publicly declared that he has pleaded his last cate. Judicial tbings are becoming dreadfully mixed, and, as there is no news from Mr Vogel, Ministers are dancing the jig of rage and anxiety, and no wonder.

WELLINGTON.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.) Tliis day. It is understood on good authority that Sir George Arney does not resign his Chief Justiceship for another twelve months. The reason for doing so is said to be that the year's absence he enjoyed some years ago, should not account as a year's service, though no objection is raised to its doing so.

TEMPLARY IN AUCKLAND.

The Choral Hall was well-filled last evening by the Auckland Good Templars and their friends in honor of their second anniversary, and to say "farewell" to the Hon. Mr Hastings, who is about to leave the city. The chair was oceiipied by Eev. Samuel Edger, B.A. Between four and five hun dred persons sat down to a well-furnished tea table at six o'clock. The after proceedings, of a literary and musical* character, opened with the beautiful ode, "The angels are coming." Mr Henius, seu., then offered' prayer. Mr E. Can- was the first speaker, and paid a high compliment to the hoo. Mr Hastings, and in referring to the introductory ode of the evening, could not help observiug, on seeing so many ladies around him, with their suuny faces, that the angels had come. Brother Spragg was then called upon for a fiong ; and. gave in good sbyle, "The Good Templars' Battle Cry." The other speakers were the chair man, Mr Richardson, from Welling ton, and Mr Coleman. At the close of the meeting the following resolution was carried with acclamation:—"That this meeting, recognising in Brother Hastings the eminent qualities of a gentleman and a statesman that fit him to confer the greatest advantages upon Good Templarism in the community, and the equally eminent virtues that endear him as a Christian man : recognising, also, the services he had rendered to the Order by his visit, expresses its gratified appreciation of the same, and its most sincere desire for the prosperity of our Brother, both person ally and in relation to Good Templary. "•—A vote of thanks to the chairman and those who assisted in the harmony of the evening brought a pleasant hour to a satisfactory ending.

ANCHOVIES AND TOAST.

(FROM OUB LONDON CORRESPONDENT. London, November 17. THE OLD TOAST MASTER. Those of your readers who have ever attended a great London banquet will not fail to remember the old Toast Master, Mr D. R. Harker, who ruled for so many years. He is dead, and we shall no more hear his sonorous " Amen " ringing along the tables. There would be no gettiDg on without old Harker, for no one would ever have known without him when grace had been said and when he was at liberty to sit down and pre pare his napkin. He used to give quite a comical turn to his " Amen." It is impossible to describe it. He had two ways of Baying it, before and after dinner. The first Amen had quite a sound of a smile of relief about it, a sort of "now for it" tone which was positively funny. The concluding Amen on the other hand sounded replete and satisfied, it had an aldermanic grunt about ifc which was at the Bame time sober and composing. THE QUEEN'S TOMBSTONE MANIA! The Queen sticks to her tomb-building with an amount of energy really remarkable. Her last work of the kind has been a monu ment to her father, the Duke of Kent, whose death must indeed have been a fearful blow to his bereaved daughter who had arrived at the mature age of nine months at the time. To make room for the sarcopha gus and effijy of the old reprobate, the tomb of the Dukes of Beaufort had to be bundled out of St George's Chapel, Windsor. If Her Majeety lives a few years longer she will, doubtless erect a series of mausoleums to the memory of her series of uncles of queer re putation. Talking of reputation reminds me of the book of the month, which will furnish gossip for the whole season. The first series of the Greville memoirs have just appeared and a more extraordinary revelation of the history of the Court during the reigns of George IV and William IV has never been presented to the world. -Mr Greville was clerk to the Privy Council and had every opportunity of making obser vations and he kept during his whole career a most voluminous journal, part of which is now published. It brings us down to the accession of the present Queen, and the editor tells us that the remainder cannot be published until the demise of certain great persons. The journal begins in, 1818 and ends (so far) in 1837, but it is said that what is to come some day is by far the most im portant part of the work. The journal is a mass of anecdotes of all the great people, all interesting, many exceedingly amusing, and a few not very creditable. The manner in which Geo. IV. and Wm. IV. used to sw<wr eeems to have been awful. Their language would have suited a crowd of Yorkshire colliers of the present*" day. The Queen must be rather disgusted at the exposure of some of the foibles "of the family. However, I could not pretend to give you any notion of this wonderful book.

STARTLING DISCOVERY.

Some of the Ritualistic party have found a mare's nest; They say—or at least the Chiirc/i Htrald says, that no record exists of the baptism of his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury. Awful jictiire ! If it be so, and his Grace is uubaptised, what becomes of all the bishop?, priests, and deacons,* whose consecrations have emanated fromfi him. Nay ! what becomes of us all, for if this be so our baptisms are all void. Half the nation is bound to perdition. None of us are married. Our dead have received the burial of dogs. All the Bishops he has conse crated are not bishops ; all the priests they have ordained are noti priests at all ; all the couples they have married are living in con cubinage, and all their children are bastards. Of course if Dr Tait's baptismal register could be found the church would not alter one bit, sue would go on with her great work as if nothing had happened, and so she will if the procious document be not found. Yet according to the .Ritualists, the whole church, clergyme~n, sacraments, every blessed thing in fact, is turned topsy-burvey, if Dr Tait cannot be proved to have been baptised. How about the baptismal registers of the Apostles ? There is not proof whatever that I know o£ that they were baptized at all. Greenstone.

(Per Press Telegram Company.) Sckw War with the Cabmen. The hostilities between the City Council and cabmen has assumed an active phase. The Council, pursuant to resolution passed last mdeting, blocked up the cab stands on Monday morning, and the police received ordera not to allow cabs to stand about thoroughfares, ~but to keep them moving. In the"afternoon the cabmea consulted a legal adviser, then proceeded to the cab stand in a body, and removed obstructions. - The Mayor gave one of the cabmea into custody. The case will probably be tried to day. The cabmen oeeupied the stands for the rest of the day, but during last night the corporation _ employes j erected a strong post and chain fence, and dug a ditch round each cabstand. The cabman have not attempted to interfere with this work yet, and not being permitted to itand anywhere, are now parading ths itottti in qut»t>f a fiat,
