Extraordinary Scene.

An extraordinary scene took place about half-past twelve o'clock, when, in the course of his remarks, Sir Julins Vogel used very strong language, characterising the speeches of some members as foul-mouthed abuse, and Sir George Grey moved that his words be taken down. The motion was withdrawn, and the Speaker expressed his censure of such language. After this, Sir Julius Vogel said he was ashsmed to be 0 member of the House, and again Sir George Grey moved to take down the words. This was done, and Sir J. Vogel bad to withdraw w.hile a discussion of an hour and a half took place on a resolution that his explanation be accepted and an amendment expressing censure, were discussed. Even tually both were withdrawn on the suggestion of the Speaker.

Sir Julius Vogel, on his return, com plained bitterly of the decision, but could get no satisfaction.

The House adjourned about half-past two o'clock

SIMONSEN'S ENGLISH OPERA COMPANY.

"LA SOMNAMBULA."

Tbe new Theatre Royal was not much short of crowded last night when the favorite opera of " Somnambnla" was placed upon the boards by the Simonsen Company. This opera always attracts largely for several reasons. First : the music is sweet and plaintive, appealing equally to the untutored and the educated ear ; the plot is simple and exceedingly pretty; and finally there is a large amount of witty dialogue interspersed which effectually elucidates the story at the same as it keeps the audience in good hu mour. The cast waa as follows :—Elvino, Signor Carmini Morley; Count Rodolpho, Mr Barrington ; Alessio, Mr L. Markham 5 Notary, Mr Darbyshire ; Dame Theresa, Miss Blanche Harris ; L'sa, Miss Minna Fisher; Amina, Madame Fanny Simonsen. The representation, as may be imagined from such an excellent cast, was very suc cessful, and the audience, who evinced satis faction throughout, were roused to absolute enthusiasm more than once. The Am ina of Madame Simonsen was one of those finished impersonations which are only attained by talent, labour, and experience combined, the character beiDg played with that consummate skill which conceals art and presents a fao simile of nature. The lady achieved her greatest triumph in the scene of her discovery on Count Rodolpho's bed. Her waking was an excellent piece of acting, and her agcn~. depicted in tone and aspect on realising the terrible position in which she was placed, wag artistic to a degree. In this scene, as in others, she was most ably supported by Signor Morley, who played Elvino splendidly throughout, in spite of a slight cold, Mr Barrington as the Count, realised tho char acter well, and was in excellent voice. Miss Minnie Fisher is evidently painstaking at her profession, and her voice is capable of great things. She played the part of the deceitful Lisa ltst night exceedingly well. Miss Blanche Harris was a good Dame Theiesa, only a trifle flat at times. Mr Markham revelled in the part of Allessio, which just suited his humorous tendencies His love-making with Lisa and her continual snul.3 made the audience laugh consumedly. The passages which were particularly noticeable last night were "0 Love for me thy Power " air, by Madame Simonsen ; " As I view these scenes so charming " air, Mr Barrington; the Ghost chorus ; the B^ep-walking reverie, by Madame Simonsen ; the concerted piece after the discovery, concluding with the duett, " Such return for love according," Madame Simonsen and Signor Morley—this was simply magnificent and the audience went into raptures over it, Madame Simonsen, Signor Morley, Misses Fisher, and Harris, and Mr Markham having to appear before the'curtain—song, "Still so gently," Signor Morley ; an introduced song by Minna Fisher, which was very pretty and well sung ; Amina's recitative and air, " Yea, for thee," in the sleep walking scene ; and finally, the solo and chorus by Madame Simonsen and the company at the conclusion. The scenery was well chosen, and the various accessories eminently satisfactory, more especially the orchestra. To-night the tiver popular "Maritana" will be produced, and there will be a general rush to hear Madame Simonssn in "Scenes that are brightest " and Morley in " Let me like a soldier fall."

To-morrow Offenbach's Opera bouffe "La Perichole" will be produced. The scene of the opora is laid in the City of Peru. Don Andres de Siberia, the Viceroy, to Bee if this people are well governed, takes advantage of a fete that is given in honor of his birthday, to visit the city incognito. The governor of the city, Don Pedro de Hinoyosa, disguised as a vegetable dealer, and Panatellas, first Lord in waiting, disguised as a baker, and an Indian Chief, accost him, and lead him to believe that his subjects aro satisfied with the Government. The Viceroy, during his rambles, meets with Perichole, a street singer, falls in love with her, and>ndeavours to persuade her to accom pany him to his house, with the intention of installing her as maid of honor ; she, over come by poverty, consents. But, according to the regulations, married women only be ing eligible to hold positions in the palace, he commissions his subordinates to find her a husband forthwith. Piquillo, the lover of Perichole, ml despair at her desertion of him, attempts to hang himself, but in rescued by Panatellas, who selects him as the husband, sand Perichole and Piquillo, who are well plied with wine, are married. Piquillo is too intoxicated to recognise Perichole, but she recognises him, and only consent to the marriage when she sees he is her lover. Perichole and Piquillo are locked in the palace, and at the ceremony of present ing the bride to the Viceroy, Piquillo discovers in his unknown bride his lost fair one. Enraged at her faithlessness, he de nounces her before the assembled courtiers, for which he is confined to the dungeon for recalcitrant husbands. The members of the royal household, disgusted at the introduction of a street singer inlo the palace, determine to cure the Viceroy of his love, and at a State banquet inflict such a series of annoy ances on him that he threatens to dismiss them At this moment Perichole, who has been released from prison, craves his Highnesses' pardon for her lover, whom she has become"reconciled. The Viceroy, seeing the error of his ways, pardons them, and very thing terminrtes happily.

THE PRIMITIVE METHODIST NEW CHURCH.

Tbe friends of Primitive Methodism in City West, i who commenced divine worship, somo twelve years ago, in a small room In Union-street, and as the congregation grew in numbers and importance, managed to erect the church in Pheridan-street, in 1865, met yesterday in procession, and gave signs of g^eat progress since their first effort in the Union street room. Among the earliest workers in the cause in City West, were Messrs Tremain, Booth, and Smith, and who may justly be regarded as among the pioneers of Primitive Methodism in this city ; and THI. GATHERING, in the brilliant sunshine yesterday, between three and four o'clock, with its hundreds of adults and children, Temperance Band and banners, shewed unmistakably that Primitive Methodism is on tho move. The school children, nearly two hundred, were neatly dressed, and wore rosettes, while the members of the Victoria and Temperance Bard under the conduct of Serjeant Trayes, donned their new jackets, trousers, and caps, in military style, and at four ©'clock precisely, struck up " Little Sister's Gone lo Sleep," and marched to the new site, headed by Mr Smith,at the corner of .Pranklin-road. followed by hundreds, the children carrying the Sunday rcbool, and other flags. On reaohing the spot, the ceremony of turning THE FIRST SOD was performed by Frederick L Prime Esq. The crowd of several hundreds formed a circle round the spot, and ss soon as they were prepared, the Rev Walter Harris gave out the 706 th hymn, followed by a prayer, and the 84th psalm. Rev Wm Tinsley then delivered his promised address, and said they had come together for the purpose of commencing the erection of a place of worship, to be solemnly dedicated to the service of the Triune Jehovah, and to assist in extending the Kingdom of Christ, spreading Divine Truth, improv ' ing m-nkind, and doing all they could towards the overthrow of the power and kingdom of Satan. They also, intended to build an adjacent school-room, in which tbe rising generation would be instructed in wisdom and virtue, and he earnestly hoped that It would be found at the last great day. that their work had not been in vain. Mr Tinsley then called upon Mr Prime to deposit the first block of the new church : which he executed in a workman-like manner in tlie names of the Trinity, while the band played McComish's new slow march. Having concluded his task Mr Prime delivered a briof, but appropriate address, wishing th-m " God speed " in their under taking. A collection was then made by four ladie., who took round th6ir husbands hats, and from which they turned out about £9. The Doxology was sung and the benediction pronounced, when ihe procession reformed ; the band playing." Silver Threads among the Gold." THE TEA. The condition of Sheridan-street was anything but pleasant, and numbers of persons whose boots had previously wore the polish of Mrs Gandle's excursion beots, were covered with mud ; the street being nearly a foot deep in mud flom one end to the other; whicn caused a resident to express his surprise that a street to well Inhabited, and where those inhabitants duly pay their ra'es, should be so grossly neglected. In the interval between the ceremony and the tea, the band played a number of airs, and persons amused thenwilvcs by chaffing Mr E Clarke, who was as ba.y asia bee in getting the waterto boil: many of Mr Clark's replies were to the point, and those who tried to be funny found themselves over balanced by the caterer. Subsequently soon after the clock struck six the pleasing announcement was made that TEA 19 READY, and there was a general rush towards the doors or the chapel, and in lessjthan five minutes, the room was fidL while numbers were obliged to wait until the next turn The chapel was decorated with suitable texts.and'flowers of the se*son,moßtly furnished by Mr Warburton Tiiet-bles wore attended to byMeadames Maynard, Booth, J. and M Chambers, Cook. Brans, and Wesley, and the Misses Warburton and Booth. The tea and accompaniments were good, and were supplied gratuitously by tradesmen whose names were not mentioned. At the close of the repast, a movement was made towards the platform, and Mr William Thome took the chair, and called upon the choir, who give them, " Home Over There, which waa admirably sung. Mr Smith then offered nrayer aud Mr Thome spoke upon the object of the gathering, and tbe prospects of their cause. Mr Thorne spoke of the riso of Primitive Methodism, aud its progress in Auckland since the days of Rev Mr Ward, their earliest minister, and with considera ble humour he referred to the peculiarities of the Methodists of bygone days He also suggested the necessity of supporting ministers creditably, so that th^v might possess tho literary advantages of the lime, and honour th.ir churches by intellect and CUR?vW Harris spoke of the progress of the move ment at home, as well as in the colony and stated Sat Primitive Methodism could count its I.oM•minis ter* and 1 500 local preac&erß. The total indebted

re«g of the new church wou'd be about £1 300 ; £600 of which had already been raised by their united I exertions. Key R F Macnircol followed in a speech of some length, but full cf Interesting reminiscences of his Glasgow life. Be wished them success, and exhorted them to sink sf ctariatism and minor differences in their advocacy of one comlnon work. Mr Boolh spoke in his earnest and energetic manner, on the importance of the work they had set their hand, and frcin which there was no turniDg back ; ho advocated unity of action, and undeviatu g persever ance. Key Mr Lockwood followed In a pleasant SDeecb, iv which le gave a sketch of his meeting with MrTinsley on board the " Taupo," in their passage to the South, and how ihey endeavoured to consblo each other while on their backs " Kecked In the Oracle of the Deep." Key Mr Tipsfey, in a closing speech, propose'l the health of the Ladies, the Templar Band, ill" Press, which hart helped them so much ; the Chairman, and all who had assisted in their entertainment. Mr Smith seconded this cluster of votes of thanks, wh'ch was carried by acclamation Tho choir duriDg tho evening sang the " Polar Star." " Beautiful Heaven," " Gate. Ajar," and several others ;Mr Charlea Par ker, accompanying on the harmonium. The whole concluded at 20 minutes p?.st 9 o'c'ock, with the Doxolfgy and Benediction.
