THEATRE ROYAL.

Thbbu was a good lower house at tne W"8""0^ Saturday to witness the performance of Diod Bone - canlt's famous play, the "octoroon ' Mr J. L Hall took the part of Salem Scudder, while Mrs Hall in.- 1 personated "Zae"the Octoroon both characters betag assumed in a most accomplished manner The simi larity of Salem and Asa Trenchard could not lav to Strike those of the audience who had visited the Thea tre on the previous night and seen Our American Cousin." Mr Hall- made the similarly closer by dressing the two parts alike. HteacJ™? on^ aS axf!:Z was not one whit inferior to his Friday's effort and the applause he gained was just as great. The cool American, with his ready wit, unfailing resource and aevere sense of justice, was hit off m the artistes best style, Mr Hall's accuracy of detail is not less remarkable than that noticeable in Madame «"?on sen's acting. He never neglects a single trifle which may be useful as imparting re-lity to his assumptions, His tone in ordinary dialogue, is so calm and deliber ate that when he has occasion to stimulate passion, anger, or emotion, the contrast gives double force to the change. Mrs Hall has evidently made a careful study of the part of Zoe, and her aetiDg on baturaay night was particularly fine. Her agony on hearing of her impending fate of being sold as a slave was magnificently depicted, and so was the mental struggle to conceal it from her friends. In the auction scene, which was capitally managed. Mrs Hall commanaea the sympathy of her audience in the strongest manner, and wet eyes were common in the house. Again, in the tragic denouement, she was fully equal to the trying situation, and sacrificed her Ufa to save her honor, with splendid dignity. Mr Hesf ord S " Wha-no-tee" decidedly ranks next in order of merit. His aoting was thoroughly characteristic of the un tutored savage, and was warmly applauded, as it deserved. With Miss Laura Wiseman who played the parts of the boy Paul very prettily, Mr Hesford enjoyed the honor of a special call before the curtain, at the end of the second act. Mr Charles Holloway made a first class Jacob McClosky, and paiated the rascal S villainy in strong and effective colours without unne cessary exaggeration. Mr Searle had a n°t yery prominent part as Stmnyside, but what he had to do was done well. As Pete, Mr Thornton had a much moie congenial part than as Lord Dundreary, and acquitted himself well. Mrs Stoneham played the ssasi. "™gs Hsr-"I £ F—e subject of laudatory comment generally. 4i "fThe Theatre Eoyal will be closed for a few nights. Ifauid will be opened shortly with a newxompany, wiW S^which the proprietors are now negotiating.

"SATURDAY NIGHT " ENTERTAINMENT.

The Templar entertainment at the Temperance HalL on Saturday evening last was very well attended, but not so large as when the price of fdmts^i 1 w" » penny. How far the Committee of the "Saturday Night " are right in making the extra charge wUI lba proved. The audience certainly was moro select,

allbotisth not quite free from the noisy effervescence of colonial juvenility. «'c presume that conversation lollies art cheap, for they fell occasionally in showers udoti the heads of the people. Mr McKenzie occupied the chsir, and made one of his canny Scotch speeches, full of sound thought, and garnished with sly dashes of humour. He spoke hopefully of the movement, and believed that thn old world was becomingjjbetter. He ur^ed the necessity of honest perseverance in stay ing the progress of intemperance, and trusted that those who possessed a vote would use it in favor of men who were favorable to the primiplpg of strict sobriety. The programme was selected with evident care, and consisted of selections of music, songs and recitations, solos and duets, Mr Marsen sang —" England "Kules the Waves." Miss Mcllmoyle— " Shall I never hear from home. Mr Chapman— " That's where you make the mistake." and another. Mr Mettarn—" Ts my darling tivie to me '!" and Eliza Cook's touching ballad—" I'm lontly since my mother died." These songs, especially the latter, were given with 'enderness o( tone and feeling. Mr W. Toran gave two comic song;, in his masterly style, which met with a warm reception Mr Hodgs-m also entered tlie comic list, and Mr Winchcomb gyve one of his famous bone solos. The whole concluded in tlie usuul w: y We learn that sections of the Templar fraternity uo not practically recognise these entertainments, aa "caste" has ctept into the order, and certain lodges stand aloof on the principle of "thank God I am not as that pubHcan " 'ill* Committee of the " Saturday Nights," however, are only desirous of guarding th people against temptation to unlawful pleasures by furnishing the means of innocent ones, such as shall produce a cheerful frame of mind without depression and morning headache.

THE PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

Me and Mes J. L. Hall will appear on Thursday, at the Prince of Wales Theatre, in the celebrated American drama, "The Gilded Age," a play founded upon Mark Twain's well-known novel, and which, lately, had a run of an immense length in New York We understand that Mr Hall's portrait of Colonel Sellars, the impecunious speculator, whose sanguine hopes no reverse dashes, is one of the best yet seen of the stage. The season will be for six nights only.

THE LATE FIRE.—INQUEST.

An inquest "was held at two o'clock this after noon, at (he United Service Hotel, respecting the origin of the late five, before Dr. Philson, M.D. Mr, Ci. Harper was chosen foreman.

Mr. Hesketh appeared for the insurance Com panies. ]\lr. Gnrriglc was examined at considerable length.

Cross-examined by Mr. HeskeUi: He said there was a possibility that he left Ms own front door open, by which Milne and Choycc could have obtained access to the upper floor. Thought the (ire broke out in (he buck room. Left at 9.30 on Saturday. Had there been 11 light in his room tlie reflection must have been visible in Milne and Choyce's. There were not so much chemi cals as he at first supposed. Had not learned since, the fire whether anyone had access to the to the building after lie leff Messrs. j\l ihie and Choyce could not got to their place of business after the shutters were up without going through witness's front door. When he had £0,000 worth of stock the Insurance Companies refused to in sure to the lull value, on the ground that they had enough risk in that block. He (hen moved some of tho goods to the North Shore.

A charge latd by one Maori ngainst another named Kingi, of Piako, for stealing a horse, saddle, bridle, a silver watch, gold chain, and mat, altogether of the value of ,£3O, should have come on at the Police Court to-day, but in consequence of the interpreter being engaged at the Supreme Court, it was adjourned till to morrow.

When the common jury wore being sworn tit the Supreme Court this morning there were the usual applications for exemption of service. In one case a juryman -wanted to bo excused because he had most important business on hand, and had to leave for the South by to morrow's steamer. His Honor refused to grunt (he application, and said if lie allowed business to bo urged us an excuse lie should have the jurymen on the list petitioning to be excused. In another case "a medical certilicate was pro duced, but the bearer could not swear to the. signature, and tlie application would most pro bably have been refused had not the Crown Prosecutor vouched for the genuineness of the writing. His Honor said with regard to this that jurymen must remember in future that all medical certificates must be signed, and lie would intimate to medical men that certificates sent for his perusal must be drawn up in proper form, which the document he held in his hand was not. Tho name of the doctor who signed the certificate was not mentioned.
