gjWQD.snTich. treat, and It is because we were so gtwatoy impressed that wo have taken tho troub'.e to analyse the performance with mote than ordinary care. The conflict between love and pride, exhibited Jn the scene where the Queen is called on to sign the death-warrant of the Earl of Essex, was magnificent y pcJli'ayed, and would have done credit to Ristori Siersetftvln the scene tf the reception of the victori ous i!ommander3 an opportunity for a grand display of passion was afforded, and was fully taken advan tage of. Tna final death scone we havß already referred to: it was terribly realistic in detail. The picture of the feeble, broken-hearted, and conscience stricken woman, babbling to "old Biuloigh" (such a contrast to tho vigorous Queen Bess of former scenes). was skilfully and powerfully drawn. The look of horror darted by the half-mad Queen at James VI. on waking and finding him in her apartment was enough to freeze one's bones—it was so real, while the expiring blaze of the old heroic spirit was worthy of the highest praise. It provoked a storm of applause, which lasted long after the curtain had fallen. As the piece really consists of only the one character, n"t much need be said of the other performers. Mr Bates played carefully and well as the Earl of Essex and more than confirmed our previous estimation of his abilities. The part is not quite a congenial one. but his efforts to please were more conspicuous in ccnaequence. Miss Lizzie Morgan was called on very suddenly to take the part of Lady Sarah. She met with a very cordial reception. Mr Collier played with commendable zeal and considerable skill in the part of the youthltil James II of Scotland, but by what dictionary does he determine the length of the " n'■ in the word tribunal ? Mr K. W. L.vwrence hit off the traditional bluntness of Sir Francis Drake very effectively. Mr Searle as Lord Burleigh acquitted himself well, but Mr Burton's varsion of Lord Bfteon wanted ballast Mr Sweeney as Davdson Jwas in too great a hurry in his entrances and exits. ' The music and scenery were exceptionally good. To-night the same piece will be presented,.

GOOD TEMPLAR ENTERTAINMENTS.

TEMPER A.XCE KALL. No less than three Good Templar entertainments ■were held at the same timp last evening, and all wore fairly attendedand similarly conducted. The Temperance Hall entertainment was in favonr of the Good Templar Band, recently organised, and was under the management of the committee of the Fraternal Home Lodge. Mr Cole presided. . The programme was nicely varied with music, song, speech, anu recitation. Misses Barton, Ash, Ham mond, Gribble, Woodß, and other ladies sang to the amusement of the company. Among tne gentlemen singers were Messrs Hannkin. Hemus, Robinson, Carter, Cornish, and Allen. Mr Dickenson recited " Bingen on the Rhine," and Mr Smith gave " Pa9tor McKnock's Address." Mr Colo intimated to the audience that the Fraternal Home would give a fortnightly entertainment. The National Anthem closed the proceedings. PIONEER JUVENtLES. Tlib Pioneer Juveniles held an open lodge meeting last evaning in the Lodge-room of the Young Men's Christian Association. Sister Powleysang "Silver Threads," and Sister Beithwick "Old Times." Senti mental songs were also prettily rendered by Sisters Spurgeon, Maraon, and Hill. Brother Marson gave a recitation. Mesrrs Cartwright and Salmon spoke at length in favor of the Templary cause, and the moating closed in the usual way. SIR HENRY HA.VELOCK. The lodge in Wdwarde-street. named after the emi nent son of the Durham ship-builder, who distin guished himself so honorably in the Afghan and Sikh wars, and at the relief of Lucknow. was abo held last eveniDg. The Sir B enry Havelock lodge is distin guished from other lodges in being governed almost entirely by sifters, hence it is the be3t governed of the Anckland lodges. "Bur, why was your lodge n»raed after a pious soldier when your cause is one of peace?" asked our reporter of a blushing sister. " Because Havelock always carried a sword into tho presence of tha enemy, sharp as our tongues, which are two-edged,'' was the curt reply. The meeting was very well attended, and songs, speeches, and recita tions formed tha amusement of the evening. Oneor i two young ladies did not sing, aa expected, as they were obliged to attend at other lodgas at the s»me time. We would recommend that the committees arrrange in future so as not to allow the entertainments to come on on the same evening. CHOR4.L HALL. The programme of the grand concert to-morrow evening in the Choral Hall, in aid of the Mechanics' Institute Library Fund, is before the public, and is ■of a character which cannot fail in winning the pa ■tronago of ciluens who take a pleasure in the refining influences of poetry, music, and song. The concert "will be under the patronage of his Honor the Super intendent, his Worship the Mayor, and the leading citizens of Auckland. The entertainment will be divided into two patt3. Tfie first part will comprise choice selections from the opera of "Maritana "; and the second, readings by Rev C. M. Nelson, Dr Ellis, and others, instrumental selections by the band of the Choral Society, and vocal selections by our beat amateurs. Among the singers we notice the names of several popular favorites. We call special atten tion to the programme.

It entirely repudiates the Star's insinuations that the press is under the thumb of Sir Donald McLean, and asserts its perfect [independence. It says it cares no more for McLean or any other officer in the native department than for the Star. It concurs in Mr Edgcumbe's statement re the soundness of the native policy in its entirety, but denounces Mr Hopkins Clarke as quite unfit for the position he holds in the Taura nga district, and recommends his speedy removal. The article has given the greatest satisfaction. Angus Smith, a settler at Opotiki, has just received a legacy of one hundred thous and pounds.

WELLINGTON

(Prom our own Correspondent.) This day.

The Times this morning complains that certain members of the New Zealand press interpret parts of Vogel's speech to suit themselves, so as enable them to attack it. In replying to the Otago Times, it says that Instead of the educational reserves of that province being jeopardised, the very reverse is the case, and says, in fact, it has authority for concluding that the Government will propose nothing that would be inconsistant with the reserves being jealously protected for the purpose and the portions of the country for which they were set apart. It also professes that the Government will re gard the compact of 1856. The surplus land revenue is to be carefully kept within the province in which it arises, but some portion of the land revenue will be retained to protect the colony from the liabilities it has assumed in taking over the railways. It deprecates the idea of holdiDg that lands which have been increased in value shall not help to pay the burthen of their cost till they become remunerative enough to pay the in terest of that cost. It denies that abolition will be a pecuniary loss to some parts of the colony, and a gain to Wellington; or that Provincialism will be introduced under another, name, only such of the features of Provincialism will be reproduced, as ex perience of many years shows to be desirable. The Government ruthlessly crush out every feature that stands condemned by actual results.

The Times Company held an adjourned meeting yesterday. It was of a merely formal character. Little was said and less done, and the concern goes on as before. The f'Vagrant" was there blooming, but Gillon was not.

THE SPIDER AND THE FLY-ONE.

" If you would run down we could come to a satisfactory agreement, I am sui'e, in a few hours."—(Ministerial telegram to the Pro vincial Treasurer.) " I cannot agree in your view in favour of a secret settlement of public rights in a Minister's room, by two gentlemen."—(His Honor's reply.) " Will you walk into my parlour?"— And tho spider winked his oye— " "Fls the prettiest little parlour I"-— And he looked uncommon sly. " There we'll settle your ilminces, Every difficulty smooth ; And with liberal advances All your troubles gently soothe." With well feigned hesitation, For he knew full well he shouldn't Accept ibis invitation, Eeader would, and then ho wouldn't. " Does he lhink to win me over ? JTere's my answer," let h;m try, " If T come you won't discover Any verdure in my eye." Quoth our fog dispelling mentor, Who knew the snari) full well, " Oh, beware ! Cave-A-T-emptor ! It would only prove a sell " Then from out his well-stocked quiver, Deftly drew aftathcr'd dart — A premonitory shiver Wrung that hapless spidei's heart. For already did his terror Anticipate the sting ;— But too late he saw 1m error, The shaft was on the wing. Smashing thro' the web it flutter'd, And each cunning mesh was broken ; But the words that spider utter'd Had been bett-r left unspoken.

Sudden Death.

An instance of sudden death occurred yester day at the Swan Inn; Mechanic's Bay. A man, about sixty, respectably dressed in a light tweed suit, called at the above hotel and stated that he was an upholsterer and cabinet maker, just arrived from Napier, and that he was recommended to the Swan Inn by Mr Sullivan, of the Anchor, Queen-street. Some time after he said he felt unwell, and desired to be permitted to lie down. He was shewn into a room for that purpose, and he was not seen again alive. At tea-time Mary Howe, an inmate, went rmd called him, but receiving no answer, informed Mr O'Connor of the circumstance. On going to his room, the man was found dead. Constable Jackson found a letter in the pocket of deceased, addressed to him from a daughter in Mel bourne, which was directed to Mr Thomas D. Smith, Napier, from which place the man deposed he had come. He was very deaf. We are informed that the unfortunate man called at Mr Robinson's, the chemist, in Parnell, and asked for a sleeping potion. Mr Piobinson not liking his looks refused to supply him with any drugs and recommended him some simple remedy. An inquest will be held on the body at two o'clock, to morrow, at the Swan, Mechanic's Bay.

f By our telegrams from the South published elsewhere, it will be seen that the Colima, which, was to have beerj our next outward mail-boat has been again disabled. This time she has lost her propeller, near Lyttelton, an accident which will effectually detain her till another can be fitted. Our telegrams give us no explanation of the mishap, but whatever was the cause we should imagine that the accident will effectually settle the question of the coastal service. It ia now allowed on all sides that it is the greatest ab surdity for vessels of this size to be running up and down the coast, when smaller steamers are on the spot, and are ready and able to do the work just a3 quickly and just as well for less money. According to our ad vices, telegrams have been dispatched to Syd ney asking 'for another boat to be sent here from that port. This there should be little difficulty in complying with as the Zealandia, Australia, and Mikado, are all there. The Hawea will bring up the southern portion of the outward mail to Anckland, and it is not impossible that that vessel may be sent on to Kandavu. The advantage of the cable is now fully felt, for the first time. We have no doubt that the difficulty will be easily obviated, but it is likely the mail will be delayed a day or two. Mr F. Quick has at last led the way in lowering the fare of the suburban 'busses. He has now added a fourth 'bus to the Ponsonby run. The 'busses start every quarter of an hour, two leaving for the Newton end and two for the Dedwood end. The fare is so low, that must close up all grumblers, who are worth a closing up. This will be a great boon to travellers. ■ Tickets: are being issued daily. We are informed that 1000 have gone ih a very short time. Mr Quick has written to San Francisco, for information regarding the most recent facilities in omnibus travelling. We'wish Mr Quick every success in his new enterprise.
