.! The Maori Disturbance at Opunake. s unake disturbances arises oat of a i. >ia<rfl mh the owner of a flax.-miU. There Were two i]ax>mills in the neighbourhood. The Egmont^ Company, -which leased some laad from cativea to cue flax, became insol vent, and, having been wound up, the laud so leased reverted to the natives. The mill was on freehold property, and wes purchased by Mr Bayley. Some lawless spirits, who have alway been opposed to (he Europeans, have lately been doing all they can to create a distuibacce, and the influence of William King, who is getting very old, has not been sufficient to restrain them. rJhey told Mr Bayley that the land on which the mill stood had been confiscated without their authority, and that therefore they intended to take possession of his property. They accordingly seized his paddock and put their own cattle into it, and subsequently stripped the roof of one of his buildings. They are not supported by the majority of the natives, who are friendly, It is said the disturbers are beginning to feel frightened at what they have done, now that they know the Govern ment ha,ve sent up a detachment of Armed Constabulary, usii

CHRISTCHURCH.

Friday.

The Press, strongly remarking on Mr. Vogel's failure to communicate with his col leagues, says :—" In the meantime the posi tion of the Ministry, who are luthlessly deserted, is deplorable.

This day. Produce Duties. •■■> The Times, dealing wicb. protection to native industry, points out that slight as the New Zealand legislation has >been in that direction, it has in eaoh case been a failure. It asks where is the proof of increased cul tivation of maize in Auckland, consequent 6u the increased duty on that commodity. Or has duty of ninepence per cental stimulated the production of wheat, barley, or oats. In like manner the protection to ham, bacon, cheese, and butter, does not cause the pro duction of a single extra pound. It asks what posbible advantage can the colony derive from protected timber ? The Government, even with all its power and resources, has to look abroad for timber.. >'o illustrations are needed to induca the public of New Zealand to demand a recall of the protection duties. The only persons benefitted are merchants. Yacht Sale.-Ratepayers Association. The well-known yacnt Red Jacket was Bold to-day for £42. A ratepayers association has been formed.

"THE WOMAN IN RED."

As we anticipated with a great degree of certainty, the Prince of Wales Theatre last evening wbb crowded- with play-goers intent upon giving Mrs George Darrell a. hearty reception previous to her departure for the Southern Provinces. We remember seeing the " Woman in Red," some years ago, in London, with Madame Celeste as the heroine, and must candidly affirm that. Mrs Darrell's impersonation of Miriam was in no wise inferior to the characteristic delineation of the artiste w ho made Buck tone's "Green Bushes" so immensely popular at the Adelphi. The "Woman in Red,'* suggested probably by the title of the " Woman in White," was elaborately produced laßt evening with its varied associations. Mrs Darrell, aa the bereaved Jewesei poured forth all the feelings of a mother's heart in that pathetic style >hicu genius only is privileged to give to Jictures of real life. The easy-going min \! NY* er w'k° cou^d not Tivet the attention .^g^his congregation, expressed his surprise he who preached truth could not find u»teuerß, while the great actor o£ the John •onian age, who preached fiction, .could per petually, attract and draw crowded houses'. Harriet's answer was, " I preach fiction as" tnongh it were truth, while yOil preach;'

truth as though it were fiction," and heMn -liesthe seoretof-all-success; "Mr. Darrellap peared as the strolling player, which gave him another opportunity of shewing his capabili tifs for exhibiting varied phases'of character. He skilfully aoted his part r fir3t as the kid napper, and afterwards as the* reconciled of disturbed elements. Miss.Clara Stepbenaon,: as the Countess, was extremely effective. The minor characters, by. Mr3 Jones, Miss. Holt/and Miss;Msggie Knight, gave life and completeness to the whole, in conjunction with the interlineations of Messrs Poole, Holloway, Deering, and Avelma;. As this evening will close the engagement of Mr and Mrs Darrell, previous to the advent of Mr and Mrs Hoskins on Monday, a grand double bill will be produced, iacluding the tragic drama of " Lucretia Borgia, " and Douglas Jerrold's nautical play of " Black eyed-Sjusan."
