AMUSEMENTS.

PETNCE OF WAI..ES TSK\TM

A-w, A:PI i TAI' bouse" Wiis presort t to witness "Struck ■ , n T>rin(?° of Theatre on Saturday mght. The play is a bafcital one. and was attended to with preat intent by the spectators. The ladteh and gentlemen of the company acquittal themselves creditably in their several rjat'ts. The plot of the ftory shortly told in s»s fallow?:—A hvp->critieal deacon named PMnner (Mr Collier) has been drawn in the conscription in the American war and obtains as his substitute one Jho. StoHcl (Mr T. Burton) Irs tennnt. to who.* lie gives by wav of reward for lis services the title defds of the cottage Ie lives in, avid three hundred dollars Ptoffel without informing any ore of the circumstance places the reeds under his hearth stone and goes to the war where he iswmnded, and loses his i-e»son. In the meantime Oil ii struck in SfcriM's property, and lipacon Skinner endrnvours to recover possession. He circulates a stnrv of St' ffell's doith, and tries to obtain the hand of his wife (Mrs C. Stjarle) in m >rriaee. Stoffel's wanderings at last bring him home, but he is hopel'Ssly demented, and Skinner does his best to hays him committed as a lunatic. This fai's. however, and at la't a favorite song suner by h's daughter (Mir Smma Rogers) restores his rrmmory. He then reveals the hi.-Ung place of the deeds, and the piece ends with the discomfiture of th« Tiascon End the happy reunion of the family. TVfr jollier ciT-ictedthe villainous Dearan very- faithfully. T. Burton appeared to srp.it ndvahtxErs as Jdo. StoffeL H« had evidently studied the part wp'l. and bi.s dry humour and broken English caused great lauphter. Bis acting in the insane passages was very £004. Mrs fearle played "Mrs Stofrel" ttith her usual orieinality and vigor. Mies 'Einßaa Eogers played and sang with spirit The comedy of " Belicate Ground" followed. In this Mr Lawrence, M3»s Carry George, and Mr Searle appeared, and by their capital acting rrade the piece very attractive. The fame pieces ar.^ advorti^ed for to-night. In the interval last night, Miss Lizzie Morgan snnesorne charminsc songs in her best style, for which she received great applause. BTt CARD'S SEANCB. The seventh se&Dce'in connection with philosophy, phrenology, and mesmerism was riven on Saturday evaninp: In tl_. 9 city Hall by Dr Carr—the popu'ar lect-jrqr m philosophical and other subjects. The intrcduct-ry lecturs o' twenty minutes wa?— " Mesmerism ; what is it?" which was fully and ably explained by the Doctor, his remarks being frequently applauded The head-ordeal followed, and subse quently the usnal mesmeric experiments. Last even ing (Pnndoy) Dr Carr gave his promised lay sermon on " The soul and after the grave." .Before the time of commencement the Hall was crsmm^d, so that no one tvns admitted after eight o'clock. The utmost silfnee prevailed in corssquence through out the delivery of the discourse. The tUls of the subject- alone wis sufficient to draw together a lar/re concourse of peop'e who are ever anxious, if rossible, ?oj hear some new thing in relation to the future. The ideas expressed were not new, they were those of a pprtion of Unitarians, and very similar to those expressed by that exeel'ent man. the late Dr Chavmißjr, of Boston. Previous to Dr Oarr's experi ments this <_xeMriz, he will give a brief lecture on " Temperance," a subject in which the thousand Good Templars of Auckland will feel a warm degree of interest.
