I hereby, therefore, dismiss Mr. Steinberger from his office of Premier, and now hand him over to Mr Foster, Captain Stevens, and Mr Williams, in order that they may have him removed. I hereby inform yon also that if any person holding any office in my Government opposes my will in this matter I shall also have him also removed from his office. (Signed) Malietoa, King. "Samoa, Bth February, 1576. Mr S. S. Foster, the consul for the United States of America, rises and addresses with ; 'efference to His Majesty and Captain Stevens: ■ That having received a letter from His iesty the King expressing his determination temove Mr A. B. Steinberger from his tnt position ' and the group,' he begs to Captain Stevens a letter requesting him Oaptabsence of an American man-o'-war '■ 'ci .! landed to Captain Stevens, who lrflHc£t«C ¥ drcssess "is Majesty: Your Majetov, i propose reading to you, for the information of yourself and all present, Mr Foster's letter requesting the removal of Mr Steinbe.rger :—Sir,— His Malietoa, having ap pealed to me for assistance to remove from his Government and Kingdom, an American citizen named A. B. Steinberger for reasons set forth in the inclosure, and having no means at1 my disposal to enable me to forward His Majesty's views, and as my Government has always expressed eveiy good will and regard for the welfare of the femoan people, and believing my Governirifent would grant the request of the Kip; g if a sn i p o f war was present, I, therefore, have the honor to re quest and appeal to you to render such assist ance as you can to remove this dangerous man, and keep him in custody until he can be de ported.—l have, &c, a S^Foster, U.S. Consul, Captain Steven! here states he is prepared to carry out the requisition of Mr. Foster. Captain Stevens then addresses Mr. Stein berger:—"Mr. .Steinberger, it becomes my painful duty to tell you that' you are a prisoner. Will you accompany the escort to my boat ?" * Mr. Steinberger replies ''The simple request of the King is enough. Would you allow me to retire to my house to colled- a few clothes,

Captain Stevens states he cannot comply with his request, but that a guard will be placed over his house, and everything will be placed in the hands of the Consul. Mr. Steinberger then delivers himself up a prisoner, and was removed in custody of an escort to Her Majesty's ship Barracouta. Captain Stevens and the other representa tives then left, leaving a guard of eight marines and the colour-sergeant at the disposal of the American Consul.

The King has placed himself under the protection of the British man-o'-war in case of any irruption by the natives. On the 24th Mr Waters, Colonel Steinberger's private secretary caused to be aold by virtue of a Bill of Sale all the Colonel's real and personal <effects ior wages r^ue.

MEETINGS AND AMUSEMENTS.

SMITH'S NEW COMBINATION.

This new combination ol musicians, vocalists, gymnasts, and impersonators were well patronised on Saturday evening last, in tho City Ball. The pro gramme was most attractive in its details, and excited general enthusiasm. Mies Lano anil Mr Gary sang several choice songs, which Were deservedly applauded. Miss Lane's " Stay with me 1 was gracefully rendered. Mr| Gary's " Ropp your powiiordry,' h -insri'liesecond half of Cromweil'sfamous axiom; s»cl "That's whare you maka a mistake," w»re Cordially received. Mr WiUurd introduced hia farmyard echoes on the violin, which Were exceedingly clever, The lady gymnasts Went through their usual evolutions with great, success. This part, of Wt performance was re ceived with immense satisfaction. The Marionettes wero as playful sn eVer, and the children wondered at their marvellous representations. JUNCTION LODGE. A public tea-meeting will be hfld this evening in] the United Methodist Free Church, in connection! with Templary. Tea at half past six o'clock, nnrfj meeting at half past sp.ven. Eev S. K.stlgson in ihs chair. Addresses by Messrs Vdger, Atkin, and Cole, interspersed with singing, recitation, and music. SATURDAY NIOHT KNTERTAISTMKNT. Mr Tremain t^ok the chair on Saturday evening at the Young Men's Christian Association, and v?as as instructive and amusing aa oyar in iris thoroughly provincial ad'>resa. Mr Tremain is an old teetotaller, who nailed the colors to the roast twenty yews ago, and his native ntcrioi end aneodotea aro as amusing as Bomvell's olio of oddities, Cornwall abounds in tra dition and romance, an Polwliele and Harris have shewn in their book?; hence Mr Tremain i" one of the most interesting of Telnplar chairmen. Tha pro gramme of Saturday evoning vns good, and the at tendance good. £ OagH were surjg by Misses Spurgeon Ash, and other ladiia; also, by Messrs Marson, McKuna, Carter, and Bishop. Mr Sroi'h gave "Pad dy's Lovo Letttr," in true type. ''Meet me in the Lano," waa prettily suns; by Miss Lane. Mr "W. Doran, the local coivic did not malcehis appeawn-e is expected, and much disappointment War expressed especially by a plaintive vo'ce at t1 o remote corner oi' the room, wimperine forth, "Oh Willie, we have missed you " Mr Milburn presided at the pianoforte. THE TBEA.TRE The performance of Saturday evening last opened with the lively, sparkling comedy which never fails in exciting a deal of laughter, whenever and wherever it is produced, "Did you ever send yonr wife to Cam berwell?" Chesterfield Honeybun, and his wife (Mr Power, and Miss Nye,) are tie prefatory characters. Honeybun ia a clerk ah a puinea a week, and gets into all sorts of debts and difficulties and consequently sends his wife to his old married aunt at Camberwell, a plea&mt snburb in the South oi' London, and during her absenca, and while Honeybun is ("having, another party, Christophw Crank and his wife (Me Sea"le and Mi&s'Bnshe.) take posseMon, by mistake, of Honey bun's apartments. Without t-oin" into further particulars, we may say that the comedy i=s full of life and sparkling with i*iins. Mr Po<ver was excellent, , and Mr Seatle, as Crank, was ia his giory, and his jumping pretended rage, and attunk upon Honeybun, who fears he shall be tried for baby-c de, drew im mensely upon the risible fncultie-s of the audience. The burlescjus of Kermilworth was subsequently played in which Miss l.yrtid Hownrde nppeared a> 'ho Earl of Leicester. "Lo, hear the Gentle Lark," was ex quisitely sung by this artiste. The character of Sir Walter JKaleigh was assumed by Madame Nr av ., ro , that of Amy i-ob-at, by Mis? Jeaiiie Nye. and that of the miscuiine Elizabeth, by Mr Power. This evening, we call particular attention to the fact, Fftrnie's opera- Bouffe, entitled Nemesis, or "not wisely bat too well," v?i!l bo represented, in which Miss Lydia Howarde will take the part of Rosalia, daughter of Roland, (Mr Power,) Mr Coliicr will appepr as Caline, Mr Searje as the retired shup-kaeper, Mdlle Navaro, as his chatminft daughter. Niss Nvc as Zidore, and Miss Biuhe as Aunty Thornton the scenic artist his been busy with his brush and palette in preparing the scenery of Nemesis A grand evening may therefore be expected by intending visitors to-niefht. A full orchestra will alto be in attendance, The,following is tho legend of Nemesis.

"• The new " musical extravaganza " brought out at the Strand, with the title "Nemesis; or, Not Wisely hut Too Well," is a a hybrid between burlesque and opera bouffe, embodying the fun common to the two species of o-rotesque drama, hut avoiding the operatic preten sions of the latter. The author, Mr. H. B. Farnie, has token tin hand a French farce, entitled "Les Deux Noces de Bois joli," and by heightening the farcical into the grotesque, and introducing music by a number of composers so cast, that we may briefly call them " Offenbach & C 0.," has with the art of managers and actors, consummated one of the merriest and brightest little works ever seen even in the theatre especially devoted to merriment. Calino, a lax but nervous young gentleman, on the eve of his marriage with Praline, daughter of Mr. Potiphar de Patoche, a retired, shopkeeper, finding himself unable to enter his lodgings, comes back to the inn, where he has given a farewell supper to his bachelor chums, intending there to pass the night. Among the lodgers at the inn are Roland deßoncevaux Ramponneau, a fire-eating major, and his daughter 'Rosalie, a young lady of a very impulsive temperament. While Calino is preparing to repose/in the, deserted supper-room, Bosalie takes it into her head to leave her chamber and stray into the same room, which she sup poses empty, in order to regale herself with'the view of the moon-lit sea commanded by the balcony. When ■she has indulged for some moments in the expression of a wish that some kindred soul were near to share her lofty sentiments, Calino, whom she has not noticed, and who thinks that so favourable an opportunity for a last flirtation is not to be lost, flings himself at her feet, and declares that he is the very_ person required. She is at first frightened, but soon highly delighted, and the pan have just reached an avowal of mutual love, when the Major peeps in, and is highly shocked at the scene passing before his eyes: He accordingly carries oft a cloak that he may identify the offender, and presently returns with a formidable array of weapons, demanding that Calino shall immediately engage in mortal combat, or wed the compromised Rosalie. The timid libertine accepts, not cheerfully, the latter alternative, and the hands of the couple are joined by the veteran after the the most approved stage fashion. On the following day no one is more miserable than Calino, who, engaged to marry Praline, and bullied into a promise to espouse Rosalie, finds himself in a fair way to become a bigamist against his will. He has only one loophole which affords a possibility of escape, and the use which he makes of this constitutes the chief action of the drama. The cloak the Major carried off belonged not to him, but to one of his friends, and con sequently he is koown to the gallant veteran, not as Calino, but as Zidore de Filoselle. We will not_ attempt to follow the extraordinary incidents which arise from this false position of Calino, who, finding himself in the presence of both the fathers and both the daughters, is forced to approach the condition of Ceberus by_be coming two gentlemen at once. Soon he is driven into the remaakable strait of having to fight a duel with himself, and rushing off the stage, rushes back fgain, pale as death, with a discharged pistol in his hand ; one-half of the persons present believing that Calino has killed Zidore, while the other half are convinced that Zidore has slain Calino. Even more embarrassing is the position of the wretched man when the " Neme sis," who arranges his unhappy flirtation at the inn, brings the two fathers and the two daughters to the Mairie that two marriages may be civilly solemnized, he being the expected bridegroom in both the ceremo nies. At last he is released from his purgatory by the appearance of the real Zidore, who is found equally acceptable to the Major and Rosalie, and he may now hope to live in a state of matrimonial bliss with Pra line alone.

Into the canvas we have described are woven practi cal jokes sufficient to fill five acts of a wild Palais Royal comedy, though "Nemesis" only consists of one. Utter absurdity is intended, and from utter absurdity nobody, whether author, actor, or costumier, flinches for a moment. Thus, when the fire-eating Major challenges Calino he wears four collosal sabres,_ two dangling at each side, four horse pistols, mhis girdle, and moreover, carries a blunderbus in his hand and drags behind a small field-piece. AY hen Calino is about to be married he is attired in a suit of modern cut, but made entirely of white satin. 'Were there anything serious about the piece one might find fault with an in; consistency in one of the most amusing scenes, where a garden wall sometimes seems effectually to separate two families, sometimes is altogether disregarded. But this very inconsistency-gives rise to " fun," and no one even quarrels with honestly avowed absurdity, espe cially when it is productive of uninterrupted mirth. ■ ' [From the Awstralasian.'] MissLydia Howarde has a character to _ play which tests her powers, both of singing and acting, a good deal, but she comes well out of the trial. There is a finish in both, which attests the careful attention she has given to the sudy of her art; but there is, besides this quality of carefulness, so much unquestionable earnestness and feeling, as to suggest capabilities be yond those required for pretty trifles like Nemisis.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., R.M.)

A poor woman [named Mary Belshaw waa charged with lunacy, and, on the medical testimony of Dr. Ellis and Dr. Lee, was ordered to the asylum.—The man Blair was also examined by the said gentlemen, and ordered to the sr.me place of safety.' WILLIE THE riStCERMAK A^t) TtIS TWO WIVES. One good wife till make you glad. But two at once will drive you mud — Hudibrashc. William Kelly, described as a fisherman, accused of catching two wives, was again broughtup to answer for the said ecclesiastical error. Mr. Broham said that he had telegraphed to the White Cliffs, Taranaki, Wellington, and other places without success. Mr. Hesketh said he telegraphed to Tara naki,and learned that the husband of Kelly's first wife had been seen in that place. Kenianded until Thursday nexb. WHAT MARY COWLEY DID.

She asked Mary about the matter, when Mary said she knew nothing about it. She accused Mary of stealing it. when she exclaimed oh my and extended her hands in utter astonishment; witness subsequently found tho purse and money in the closet. Mary was again astonished ; she sent for the police and gave Mary into custody. Frank Pascoe gave similar evidence. Prisoner here burst into tears and vowed that she did not intend to defiaud Mrs Pascoe, as she was s,bout going into a situa tion ; she was desirous of getting a living by honest labour. His Worship said that lodging-house keepers should be very particular in securing fcheir money so that lodgers might be prevented from stealing. One month's imprisonment with hard labour, THE MYSTICAL BUCKET. What what, my countryman from Erin'ii Isle, You who once friendly on your friend did tmilo, Do you suppose that I so moan could be As steal your pail—avaunt such deed from me. — Sheridan. William Eyre w/.s summoned to answer for using unneighboufly language towards his neigbour, Patrick Gleeson, of Victoria-street, on the 7th instant. .": Mr Hesketh appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Rees for the defendant. Patrick Gleeson, proprietor of the Aurora Hotel, deposed that on the 7th instant, he was with his workmen in his yard when Mr Eyre asked him where he got a certain buc ket. On thn third time of^asking he re plied that was his bucket, which you stole from me at the time of the fire. He informed Mr Eyre that he did not wish to have any communication with him, as Mr Eyre was frequently insulting him. He said, "I'll put the set on you. my boy." He made no answer, but on Satuiday he Eyre again I A Mr Hesketh : Fever mind thsiMmbat will make another job for thirwwyers. v.

Mr.Eyre did nothing in that line.

James McGinty deposed' that he knew both the gentlemen at arms. He was within two yards of the back door when he heard Mr Eyre say, " that bucket is mine ; you stole it at the time of the tire. Philip Crawley and John Ryan gave corroborative ovidence. A number of other witnesses were in waiting, but counsel con sidered that it was useless^ to use va,in repetitions. Mr Hesketh.asked that the information might be amended by substituting other words of complaint, as the witnesses slightly differed. Mr Rees objected to this course, as evidence had been given in the case. There was no particular offence alleged in the information. His Worship thought that it could scarcely be expected that half-a-dozen could repeat the exact words, or he should^think it was a concocted affair. The words " insulting " instead of "abusive" language, was then by mutual consent, inserted in the complaint. Mr Rees asked that the case might be dismissed ; it was a trifling matter, and the parties ought to have had the good sense to have settled the matteroutof Court. The" Court dismissed the case without making an order for costs. This was all the business.
