Mr. Reader Wood's Retort.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.)

In extension of our telegram on Saturday giving a summary of Mr Reader Wood's able speech on Friday night, we take the following from the telegrams of the Cross's special:— Mr Wood (in replying to Mr Buckland's in sinuation that he was actuated in his policy by pecuniary considerations connected with the Provincial Secretaryship) said: "This was the lie that was fixed upon him by the hon, member for Franklin. The hon. mem ber had sanctimoniously turned up the whites of his eyes, and with a Chadband expression, and a Wesleyan parson's whine, threw out an innuendo which he knew to be false. (Sensation, and cries of "Order," "Chair.") The Speaker : The hon. member must be aware that expressions such as those can not be allowed in the House.

Mr Wood : Then such expressions should not be allowed to be made by other members, and if any one in that House made use of expressions towards him, such as the hon member for Franklin had done, he would re turn them. It was not true in any way that ie had sold himself to the Superintendent of Auckland for £150, for six months, a sum less "by £7 103 than that which hon. members of thai} House received from the Colonial Government. That was an innuendo which had been thrown out against him which he would not stand, and the hon. member bad added, with a sanctimonious voice, "Lead us not into temptation." think of a man being tempted to sell himself for £150 for six months ! What a terrible end he must come to. But when that hon. member came into that House asking mercy, he said nothing about the fact that he had been ne gotiating in a private room with Ministers lor the purchase of land for thousands and thousands of pounds, on which he was only to cover expenses j only to get a few insig nificant shillings. (Cheers and laughter.) If he might be allowed, he would quote Scrip ture to the hon. member, and say to him : " Take first the beam out of thine own eye, then shalt thou see clear to take the mote out of thy brother's eye." (Laughter.) He had been accused of selling himself for six months for £150, but he could sell himself for a much larger sum than that. He had been offered office by Mr Stafford in 1872, but declined. He had been offered office by Mr Williamson, but he declined - and he would ask how many new members were therein that House who would have done that? He had accepted office under Sir George Grey because three days before the meeting of the Provincial Council that gen tleman had told him he had not an Executive officer to meet the Council with. He offered his services immediately, and Sir George Grey should have them as long as he wanted them, provided he had sufficient leisure, whether he received anything for it or not. He saw how the land lay. He knew that Sir George Grey would never be a nominated Superintendent, and if he (Mr. Wood) had chosen to come there and laud Ministers he might have been Superinten dent ; and instead of getting £150 for six months, might have got £600 or £700 a year for a long time. (Cheers.)

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

MISS CARRY GEORGE AS LEAH,

That Mr. DeLias is indefatigable in his efforts to secure the best available histrionic talent for the delectation of the Auckland public, is a fact so thoroughly recognised that it is quite unnecessary to insist upon it; hat we cannot enter upon our opening notice of the new company at the Prince ot Wales Theatre without congratulating our enter prising lessee upon his latest t acquisitions. Saturday night saw the deitU before a New Zealand audience of Miss Carry George and Mr. R. W. Lawrence, two artistes of such exceptional talent as to warrrant us in hazarding the prophecy that they will at once establish themselves as special favourites. By dint of good management a happy combination was effected between these celebrities and the most shining lights of the Star Dramatic Company, a company which has been long and favourably known in Auckland, and it is not too much to say that the union has produced an agglomera tion of ability such as is seldom to be found in any one theatre of the Southern hemisphere. When the play of "Leah, the Forsaken," was announced, for the inaugura tion of the new season, a large number of play goers pronounced it a mistake to begin with so heavy a piece, while a larger number pro nounced it a bold stroke which could only be justified by success. For ourselves we cer tainly did not think it a mistake, and were inclined to look upon it as a politic rather than as a hazardous move. The whole argu ment in Leah is eminently calculated to do away with the prejudice with which the Hebrew race haa been in past ages regarded. It is needless to say that the absurdity of that prejudice has been exemplified most fully in Auckland where many of our most useful citizens are Jews, and thus it was evident to anyone who thought over the subject that, in selec ting "Leah" for their opening performance, the new Company were cheosing a play which would appeal to our popular sympathies in a very marked degree. Whether the selection was unwise, bold, or politic, there can be no question that the result has proved a magni ficent success. No importance can be attached to the crowded state of the house above and below. The novelty was sufficient to explain that ■~for Aucklanders are very much like the Athenians of old in their eagerness to ses or hear some new thing—but it is another thing when a crowd of people, attracted perhaps by novelty, are led into testifying their ap probation by bursts of loud enthusiasm. -This was the case on Saturday evening, and We heartily endorse the popular verdict. Misa Carry George excites our interest from the time she comes upon the stage, and guides it skilfully to a climax. Throughout the delineation she keeps steadily in view what she conceives to be (and it is an artistio and happy conception) the author's intention m the character he haß created, and she spares no pains whether in declamation, gesture, or costume, to complete the portrait, ifle play is so well known that it is not necessary to enter into the plot. We will merely allude to one or two of the salient points of the narrative. The story opens With the persecution of the Jewish maiden »y the villagers. In this Miss George winced a mobility of feature and appropriate ness of action which at once showed us the wneartist. Then re came the love-scenes ? whlcll she wa: ly supported by Mr. Herv Lability of expressing we softer passj^ j beautifully demon iSSri J! weB&SELI£ hßheiß»wita aU her. ?*Monal aatipatß \ Trong upon her, she is ovJT Ore the VOV\ Nfh°se l°ve dominates thT. cI? ry otterJ-w^lnce.• Then there is sudden revulsieZ* brought about by the fS,I! CCUBation of Sreed» Allowed by the twl BOf her lover> I£ h?r lov? W4 ***» w does her hate become, till it con

sumes her very life and strength, and reduces; her to the condition of a perfect wreck in mind and body. In both these phases of the character Miss George exhibited talent of a high order. Her energy and fearful reality in the curse scene were appalling to witness and listen to, and struck a chill of horror into the audience. But it was reserved for the concluding situa tions for the fair debutante to achieve her most signal triumph. For true pathos and exquisite feeling we have not seen Miss George's efforts in the scene with the child, and in the final tableau, excelled by any one, and not equalled on the Auckland stage. We can scarcely imagine anything finer than this piece of acting. It was simply superb, and carried the house by storm. A critic's eyes are seldom suffused, but we must plead guilty to a certain mistiness which annoyed, but could not be prevented, while numbers in the house were unconcealedly weep ing. Miss Carry George was enthusiastically called before the curtain after each act. Of Mr R. W. Lawrence, as Rodolpb, the public opinion could not be otherwise than favor able. Without ostentation, this gentleman gave to his role an intelligent and manly rendering which recommended itself to all. He was courtly in his love, sensitive and painstricken under his fancied betrayal, and earnest in his reparation. His voice is rather heavy, but in all the other accom plishments of a sterling actor, Mr Lawrence is blessed by nature, or has perfected himself by study. Miss Emma Rogers played the part of Anna with considerable success. She is pleasing and lively. If she has not depth she has a store of amia bility which stands her in good stead. Mr. G. W. Collier sustained the role of Nathan with his usual skill. Mr. Samuel Poole's Dr. Ludwig was full of humour, and he and Mr. T. Burton as Hans imported some pleasant laughter to relieve the heaviness of the piece. Both conceptions were very rich and duly appreciated. When itucb. artists as Mr. and Mrs. Searle are found playing the minor characters of Dame Groschen and. Father Lorenz, it speaks volumes for the strength of the cast. This lady and gentle man aquitted themselves well. Mr. Arthur Kingston made a good impression as Abra ham. The rest of the company did all that could be expected of them. The scenery was good, and the mountings generally excellent, a fact which redounds to the credit of Mr. Collier the stage manager. The piece for to-night is the sensational drama of "Janet Pride."

The sailors in port seem to be on the ram page just now. Ihere was a lively row on Saturday night, and about three o'clock to day some of them commenced fighting in the vicinity of the Post-office, smashing some window glass. They were wise enough, however, to sheer off before the police arrived.

A most important' debate will take place to-night among the members of St. James Association viz. " Should Mechanics Insti tutes or Museums be opened on Sunday ?" This is one of the leading questions of the day and has or will occup} the attention and consideration of every thinking member of our community, for we cannot attach too much importance to a subject whose issue would in either case be attended with such beneficial or deterimental results, and to many orthodox thinkers would appear a public breaking of the 4th commandment. We are certain however that the subject will receive a clear and impartial investigation by the members, and trust that the elements may be favourable for their meeting.

The Union Beach jumping case turns out to be a mere fiasco. The part pegged off is merely the foreshore below high water mark, which was leased by the Company from the natives. The title to the foreshore has, been a bone of contention at the Thames, and is still unsettled ; but the Union Beach has as good a title to the foreshore which forms the frontage to their mine, as it is possible to get in the present state of the law. The mine workings, are in no way affected by the foolish pegging-off which has been in dulged in by Macgregor, the Cross cor respondent and old Jaspar the waterman. The shaft is a considerable distance from the shore, and the §rich reef runs into the hill, and not towards the shore. Whether the foreshore would ever have been worked is problematical, and the case is more one of trespass than of jumping, if there is anything in it at all.

On view in the window of Mr Isidor Alexander, jeweller, of Queen-street, may be -seen two valuable English gold hunting watches, which are intended as presentations to Messrs Cole and Combes on Thursday next by the members of the Good Intent Lodge of Oddfellows.
