Tl c Star says it 1* a disgrace to the staye, dan insult to the audience. In the third ene of the second act a low assignation house is represented. The Guardian de ribes it as being as bad as the renowned Bristol-house here, the proprietor of which was recently imprisoned for harbouring pros t tutts. The Otago Daily Times characteiists the scene as a poor imitation of fast life nmon° the traviate of New York. The house was crowded, and to-night it is expected to be equally as full, owing to the notice in the Printers at Loggerheads. The members of the Typographical Asso ciation appear to have fallen out among themselves. Allan Wright writes to a Northern paper, and states that members of the Association do not endorse the letter of i e Grove the secretary. To-night, another letter appears, signed " Compositor," in the Star statiDg that the remarks made by Le Grove are in the main true. Be says that uhen their trade was prosperous in Auckland, compositors thought they ci.uld do as they liked. The writer says, that, on many occasions, in the Herald office, out of a com panionship of fifteen men, only five turned L to work to get out an eight-page paper ; and I may say tuat ne champion of the Auckland compositors was conspicuous by his absence on the above-mentioned occa sions.

Arrival OF THE STEAMER CITY OF MELBOURNE WITH ENGLISH AND AMERICAN MAILS.

The s.s. City of Melbourne arrived in har bour this afternoon. UP TRIP. After receiving our passengers, their lug gage, etc., and the English mails, started from the wharf at Auckland on the 14th M»y, after a detection of three houre, and then'proceed on our voysge, the wind being from the North, and blowing pretty fresh for the first three days, then moderating down asweneared the tropics. At; 7 p.m. on the evening of the 19th, sighted the s.s. Mikado, and, at midnight, passed the Island of TntuiJa (cne of the Navigator group), the weather continuing throughout fine, but the wind keeping persistently ahead, as if nailed at RE. Crossed the line on the 23rd, 9| days from Auckland, in long. 165 deg. 50 mm. west, the ttmpeiature during the whole voyage never exceeding 84 deg. At 11 p.ri the same night (the 23rd) a steerage passenger named John Barkins, of Mel bourne, died from disease of the heart and dropsy. Having passed the Equator, con tinued onr northerly course, but with leas success than before, for the wind kept well in the N.E., and weather worse, for at times it blew a fresh gale with rain and a high confused sea, through which the City of Melbourne ploughed her way, and arrived at Honolulu on the morning of the 29th May 15 days from Auckland, when after receiving cargo &c, left again the same night and steamed against strong N.E. trade?, which after getting to the Northward of the tropics veered round to E and S.E. at times blowing very fresh with high sea, and as we neared the coast encountered the usual fogs, bnt finally arrived at San Francisco wharf on the evtning of the 6th of June, at 6 p.m., making the whole voyage from Sydney in 29 dayß 3| hours, and 90 hours under contract time. ' ' town trip. The City of Melbourne, after receiving on board the English Mail for the Southern colonies and her living freight of tragic, vocal and instrumental talent, left San Francisco wharf at 1130 a.m. 21st June (or 22nd, colonial time), amid the cheers and hurrahs of hundreds of spectators, wishing bon voyage to their numerous friends and admirers. At 30 minutes p.m. the ship cleared the Beads, and at once plunged into a heavy head sea with a strong westerly wind, caueing a vast change upon the scene and the faces of her illustrious passengers to what they were an hour previous, and the little vessel, as she dashed through it, sent the spray masthead high, baptising, without respect to persons, her newly-made nautical acquaintances; but each day drew ncr nearer towards the sunny tropics,making the weather both finer and warmer, and as she ran down the trades, everything assumed a. more cheerful aßpect, for her artistic crew came basking in the sun, looking none the woree for theFroughbut honest hand that the mighty Neptune had laid upon them at the owet of the voyage. All their trouble being now forgotten, they watched with eager eyes each day's distance, as it was posted up, thinking of Honolulu and its tropical fruit; at which place, after a run of eight days, we arrived at noon, June 30, Sydney time, where we coaled, leaving at 3 a.m. <Jnly Ist (the s.s. Macgregor had not arrived up to the time of the Mel bourne's sailing), the weather being light and nne until we reached the 6th north parallel, when it became squally and showery, with calms and variables to the Equator, which was crossed on the 6th inatanb in longitude wo 201 west, after which we had one day's c»lm with heavy rain ; the wind then settled "IatSS.E. and south (nearly ahead), and increasing to a fresh gale with very high head sea. The island of Tutuilia was passed °a the 9th, at 6 p.m., the gale still continuing to blow ahead with great Jtrength, and the sea so high throughout the passage that after passing the southard °V.r tlle end!y Group the engines were obliged to be eased, bringing the vessel's speed down to about 17^ knots per hour, this lasting for four days until reaching the Great •earner which waß passed at 9.15 am. on tne 16th, and the harbour of Auckland entered at 1.30 p.m. the same day. This exceptional long continuance of bad weather 5f s caused two days delay in arrival of the •Miglisb.

LONDON.

. _ January 21. Messrs Moody and Sankey are preparing towit Eton, to hold service especially addressed to students. Their intention causes considerable sensation and much con troversy in the newspapers. Merafane, a Paris spiritualists who pro tessed to photograph deceased persons, had been convicted of swindling, and sentences to six months' imprisonment. Th^ree persons Lave died from the effects of drinking whiskey at the fire in and seventeen are in the hospital from the same cause. The Moscow Gazette sajs : "England hav ing declined to enter into intimate relations with Russia until the Central Asian States are placed under the protection of interna tional law, Russia has no reason to leave the alliance of the three empires and enter into a league with that country/ The revolution in Mexico continues and the re federal troops hav c been defeated in several towns. Cyrus Field telegraphs that Lady Frank lin is dangerously ill in London, and requests the churches in America to offer prayers for her. A BRITISH CONSULATE ATTACKED IN CHINA. A despatch received at Shanghai states that at Chingkiang a number of native soldiers publicly insulted the American Consul and his wife. The soldiers were arrested and confined in the British Con sulate. A mob of Chinese, enraged at the arrest of the sobers, collected be fore the Consulate, and made an attack for the put pose of effecting their re lease. The foreigners at Chingkiang de fended the Consulate, and successfully re sisted the mob. Groat excitement prevailed, and fears were entertained of a general riot, but the Chinese authorities finally restored order. The British and American "squadrons have left this port for Chingkiang to protect the foreign residents. The Beecher case slowly drags its slimy length along. Other witnesses have come forward on Tilton's side, including two upholsterers, who have appeared before Judge Morris, and are prepared to swear that they saw Beecher and Mrs Tilton in flagrant,: delicto. The ship f hamplain has been lost at the Farralones near San Francisco, her post of destination, and the Captain and several of the crew drowned. An attempt was made to put the ship in stays, but, owing to the want of headway, she would not come around aud almost immediately backed stern fore most in between two large rocks just north of the North Farralone Island. Bodies continue to be recovered from the wreck of the Schiller, buc so disfigured as to be unrecognizable. Mr. E'elane, of the London Times, will shortly retire from tho editorship of that our.uil. He has been offered a Baronetcy. The woikingmen societies of Paris have opened a national subscription to provide for sending delagates to the Philadelphia Ex hibition. Narraten, the Communist editor who urged the shooting of the Archbishop of Paris, has died in New Caledouia, whither he was banished. European en p reports are grather more' favorable. The Prussian Diet ha\ finally passed the hill withdrawing State grants from the Catholic clergy. Ihe German Government proposes short ly to establish a central maritime observa tory at Hamburg, similar to that in use in Great Britain and several other courmries. A violent storm swept over Paris and other portions of France on the ikh. In Paris traffic was wholly suspended on the streets, and many accidents are reporred. The damage there is estimated at 11,000,000 francs. Terrible Earthquake in South America —Thousands of Lives Lost. New Yoik, June 12th.—Correspondence of the American Press Association from Pana ma June 4th, says : The following details of the recent earthquake at Salessur, in Columbia, are just received here : The eaithqaake violently visited the city of Cicula, Columbia, in New Granada. A por tion of the chuJch feil down, and many houses were destroyed. Cancena was also destroyed. The hss of life is frightful Thousands have perished. There is much excitement in Panama over the calamity. Ihe city of Cicula was entirely destroyed, and few families were saved. A ball of fire issued from the volcano, which is now very dangerous, and sets fire to houses. Another mouth was opened in the volcano on the side fronting Santiago, in a ridge called Guachon. 16,000 is the estimate of the loss of life.

Since my letter to you of the 4th of May, shipping in general to the colony of New Zealand has been exceedingly active, and emigrants to all the principal ports are com ing forward most freely ; the flaw and doubts about the ill-fated Cospatrick have quite left their minds. Two large vessels are about leaving Belfast with emigrants for Auckland, viz the Dover Castle which sailed on the 28th of May with 228 immigrants, aiad the magnificent iron built ship Caris brooke Castle leaving Liverpool on the 2nd of June fer Belfast, where she will embark a full compliment of saloon pas sengers (one of the same being our old friend Mr Farnell), 16 second cabin, and 350 Go vernment immigrants.

THEATRICAL ARRIVALS BY THE CITY OF MELBOURNE.

Among the passengers by the City of Mel bourne is Mr. Edward Ellis, for the past two years the dramatic and musical editor of the Han Pranciseo Chronicle, whose criticisms and wide knowledge of theatrical affaira have made that journal the leading authority upon dramatic matters. Mr. Ellis is now on a tour as advance agent for the famous tragedienne, Madame Fannie Jananschek, who will arrive in the Macgie gor. Madame Jananachek is engaged to ap pear in Sydney and Melbourne, and she will afterwards play in Kew and make the complete rouud of the British colonies.

AN INCIDENT OF THE GALE.

A PERILOUS VOYaCE AND NARROW ESCAPE,

Two men, the one a Frenchman and the other a Dutchman on Monday the s'.h inst., started in a flat bottomed clingy frota the Wade to come up to Auckland with their pro duce for the market. They -were blown off when trying to round the North Head and were carried before the gale past Brown's Island into the Eastern passage. Here there was a tre mendous chopping sea on, and about half a mile from Motutapu the boat was capsized, and both the occupants left floundering in the water. They managed to get hold of the boat which floated, aad held on till the set of the sea and wind earned them ashore not far from Mt'^iv. Roed's cottage. Here they were hospitably entertained and supplied with restoratives, as they were nearly dead with tho wet onS cold. They have since returned home again. All their cargo consisting of 33 dozen of egga besides other dairy produce was lost. They may, however consider themselves lucky to have escaped with their lives. The Dutchman is well-known as the ferryman at the W&de river.
