THEATRE ROYAL.

THE Lingard Sketches were repeated on Satur day evening to a a large and appreciative audience, preceded by the well-constructed comedy of "My Wife's Lover," and succeeded by the 2-act comedy of " The Admiral." The whole of the 'proceedings- were of the most in teresting character, and were received with much enthusiasm. In consequence of the non arrival of tho original Georgia Minstrels, who are detained in San Francisco until next mail, the Lingards will give two more entertainments, and this evening will appear in Robertson's ex quisite comedy of " David Garrick," in three acts. Mr Lingard will represent the great actor of the last century, and Miss Alice Dunning (Lingard) will impersonate Ada Ingot. Tho programme will open with " Lady Elizabeth," a performance full of incidents and attractions. To-morrow evening will be the last of the Lingards in this city.

RESIDENT MAGISTRATE'S COURT.

(Before R, C. Barstow Esq., It. M., and E. M. Mitford, Esq., J.P. Chairman of the Court of Petty Sessions).

WRIGHT A r. HABBOUE BOARD.

The particulars of this claini for compensation for Avater frontage taken by tho Harbour Board from plaintiffs property in Hobson-street, was again brought on. Mr J. B. Russell and Mr W. L. Rees appeared for the Harbour Board, Captain Daldy chairman, and Mr Brigham, secretary to the Board, ap peared to Avatch the case, and Mr McCormick and Mr Brock appeared for Mr Wright. Mr McCormick raised two objections ■; first.he contended that the amount of compensation being over £50, the matter was beyond the •juris diction of the Court; and secondly, Mr Wright had neA'er been properly served, as the notice Avas put through a broken Avindown of his resi dence, and never really served upon him.

Mr .T. B. Russell said it Avas too late to raise an ob(ection, as the case had already been before the Court; and in the second it Avas almost im possible ever to find Mr Wright at home. After much discussion, the Bench concluded that a notice put through a broken window Avas not suflicient, the claimant should haA'e been personally seiwed. The case Avas dismissed.

THE ORIGINAL GEORGIA MINSTRELS.

Only fancy all those magnificent and colossal bills, in rich and varied colours which throughout the city have been informing us for the last fortnight, that the Georgia Minstrels were coming by the next mail steamer, to enliven our duJness Avith their melodies, have lied like the tickets on a one-horse office door, which tells us from morn till dewy eve, that the boss "will be back in five "minutes." The "next mail steamer" has arrived, and so have not the Georgia Minstrels. But wo must not anathematise these sons of song, as we should the absent boss for whom we may have been waiting in vain for a score of five minutes. We are given to understand, that at the last moment some of the musi cians failed to keep their engagement, and the troupe were unable to come on without them, being determined not to risk their world-wide reputation by coming down less than full strength. But the strangest part remains to be told. Taking advan tage of the temporary embarrassment of the Company, ten buck "niggers" hastily got together took passages in the City of Sydney, and have gone to Sydney under the name of Georgia Minstrels. This extraordinary attempt to impose on the innocents abroad, however, is likely to be defeated, as Mr. P. 11. Kirby, the agent of the Original Georgia Min strels, who has been in Auckland for some time, lias received instructions to hasten on to Sydney, and expose the little game. The original Georgia Minstrel Troupe, which numbers 21 performers, will positively come down next steamer. There appears to be very little probability of the trick succeeding as the exposure has been speedy, and will doubtless accompany the bogus Georgia Minstrels to Australia., and the Press there will certainly " peach" on this imjnideiA.t attojoxnt to deceive the colonists. Certainly % Corbyn must have thought that the colonists would be easily imposed upon when he attempts such a bare faced fraud. We very much question also whether Mr. John Bennett Avill be a party to it. and the trick may result in a dead loss. The "Evening Post" of the 7th, writing under the headings "Theatrical trickery, futile efforts of an Australian agent to secure the Georgia Minstrels, engagement of a troupe to impose upon the colonists, sava : __« Smart tricks in the theatrical busi ness are not unusual, and the conventional morality of the situation seems to be that any went or manager who can take an un fair advantage of a rival agent or manager, and thereby "put money in his purse, is perfectly justified in his conduct. I Ins, however, 'is the unscrupulous view of the matter, and, fortunately for the reputation of the theatrical profession, there are still many parties having control of theatres who would scorn to stoop to a mean trick to forestall a rival. One of the most repre hensible pieces of sharp practice has, it is said, just been perpetrated by Sheridan Corbyn, agent m this Pity for certain Australian theatres, The public need not be told that for some weeks past, the celebrated Original Georgia Minstrels have been delighting large audience at Maguire's Opera House This troupe of inimitable colored vocalists and performers were brought here under engage ment to Messrs Maguire and Hayerly, and became at once great favourites with theatre-goers. Discovered then- unrivaled merits in their several specialties, Mr Corbyn made overtures for the purpose of securing them for Manager Bcnett, of Sydney, but Manure and Haverjy were not to be induced to surrender such a attraction in the world of amusement. Thus lgnomlni ously falling to secure the company ot Original Georgia Minstrels, .Mr Corbyn be^an to act independently in the matter. He knew that it was the intention of Manure and Haverly to send this famous of minstrels to Australia by the stcaire to sail to-morrow, but that for certain reason it had been decided to hold over for another month. laking ad vantage of this delay, Mr, Corbyn began in haste to engage all the colored men m ban Francisco who had any musical capacity •it -ill and has succeeded in getting ten whom'he thinks will make a minstrel com pany good enough for Australia. It is said that none of them have ever yet appeared on any stage, and have had no experience whatever in singing or acting. Nevcrthe

less, it is understood that Mr. Corbyn will proceed with them to-morrow to Australia, and advertise them there as the famous company of Original Georgia Minstrels, who have been so popular throughout the United States. It is very probable that the colonists will discover, as soon as they see them, that there is something crooked in the representation made regarding them but it will do no harm to let them know . positively how tho case stands. The genuine company of Original Georgia Minstrels aro still performing at Maguire's Opera House in this city, and will continue to do so for another month. This company comprises twenty-one of the most accomplished colored minstrels in the world, and all contrary representations are violations of the truth. They will not pro ceed to Australia before the December steamer, and cannot, therefore, appear in either Sydney or Melbourne before January. The colored fellows whom Mr Corbyn will accompany on the City of Adelaide steamer to-morrow have no reputation whatever, and the object is to impose upon the colo nists just for one month before the bona fide tronpe put in an sppcarance. These arc plain facts, and will speak for|themselves.

THE PACIFIC MAIL SERVICE.

It is satisfactory to learn from the tone of correspondence from Noav York and San Fran cisco, that the maintenance of tho present mail communication betAvaen the United States and the colonies of Australia and New Zealand, Is looked upon by American merchants as of the highest importance. As an illustration of this, we may quote the following: from a letter just received by a firm here from an eminent house in New York: " The San Francisco service is an established fact, and will never again cease. If the mismanagement of the P.M. s.s. Go. causes them to lose it, other and equally responsible companies are ready to take it up. Your New Zealand GoA'ernment should do the coasting ser vice. You can do it much better than a foreign corporation, and to better ad vantage pecuniarily. We also learn that the alterations in the route, suggested by our Camber of Commerce haATe been well receiA-ed by the Pacific Mail Co. A San Francisco tetter to an Auckland house say s :— "The directory of the Pacific Maii Co. are strongly impressed Avith the importance of mak ing the change recommended by your Chamber of Commerce. This opinion of the Company, is, hoAvevor, much'more fully set forth in thelfol lowing extract from a letter sent to the Auck land agents by a prominent official at head quarters.? He says—" We have heretoforcjgiven you our opinion at great length regarding the serious drawback to tne prosperity of our line, due entirely to the necessity imposed on us of running to ports where ships of such a class should never be sent, We are sparing no exer tion to hare this corrected. As to calling at the Bay of Islands or having any connection with that point, avo arc as strenuously opposed to it as we are to the present route. Our calling places should be Honolulu, Auckland, and Sydney, and all collateral business should bo transacted separately and apart from our main lino." The above are suflicient to show that Auckland, in agitating for the direct route, via Honolulu and Auckland with a separate coastal contract, is not trying to gain an advantage which avi'll be felt by herself alone, but by all parties 091100 mcrI. Even Sydney Avill gain much by tho increased confidence Avhich the public will place on the line Avhon the present vexatious excrescences are removed.
