"LITTLE NELL" AT THE PRINCE OF WALES.

8e FIDELIA, THE FIRE WAIF."

This sersational drams, new to the Auckland pub lic, had the satisfactory effect of drawing a good houte and giving great satisfaction to the assembled hundreds- It would nccurjy too much of our space to give a distinct outline of this intricate and gratifying play, which had a run of goo nights in America, the very best of proofs that it possesses merit sufficient to please the general taste of a very large portion of the world's community. The scenesof the dramaare laid in Philadelphia and New York, and are made the means of working out a plot sufficiently subtle to excite intense interest. In dramatic construction the play is irflnitely superior to any of the American specialities introduced by " Little Nell" to colonial audiences while it affords equal scope for the display of her remarkable versatility, her charming naivette, and coouettishness which have rendered her a prime favourite with everybody. Possessed of great natura histronic and dramatic powers, considerable skill as a musician, and a perfect knowledge of the graces that adorn tho terpsidiorean art, seasoned with a saueiness of manner that comcels good humour, " Little Nell" is, beyound all diubt, the best specialty actress that has ever visited New Zea land. In :* Fidelia" the spectator follows her through a maze of adventures, which are a perpetual puzzle ; and just when he is wondering how she can possibly extricate herself, the denoument comes upon him with startling suddenness, or possibly in a way that is irresistibly funny. In the abounding humorous passaees, Neil keeps her audience in a perpetual roar, which is worked up to a flaDgerous nitch by the sallies of that admir«ble comedian, Mr Giridens, who has become scarcely less popular than Nell herself. As David Bird last night he shewed most effectually that if on old biid Is not to be caught with chaff, the inverse proposition dues not hold good of the tickleish propensities of an audience when an old bird is the nperafer. Mr Searle was very successful an the old Californian who always looked into his boots before he put ihem on. The character fitted him exactly, and he had taken the trouble as he always does, to master it Mr Smith, as Harry Warne was painstaking and very successful. The character of Jasper Winch, the villain of the piece, and aDlottor of the firßt water, suited Mr Inirlis to a tee, profession ally we mean of course, and in his various disguises, his crafty scheming, and his diabolical outbursts of passion, he shewed a true conception of the part. More than a passing word is duo to Miss Jessie Ray mond for her impersonation of the homeless and friendless Joe, whose better nature, working agvinst the influence of criminal associates and surroundines. was skillfully portrayed, and elaborated with touches of foelinp that shewed a true appreciation of the part. Mrs Searle had dropped into one of those characters that exactly suit her, and she contributed a pood deal to the success of the representation. The iMav is inteTsperssd with a number of musical airs in which the members of the orchestra, under the cofductorship of Mr Cope, violinist, acqnited them selves well. "Little Nell's" dresse? have attracted general admiration and criticism from the fair portion of her audiences. The scenic artist has creditably done his part by the aid of the brush, in giving vitality to the accompanying scenery. The fire scene was carried out very effectively, and at the same time safely, by means of simple, but well-constructed machinery. Of Tom Burton as Scholes. Mrs Collier as MrR AVarne, and the performances of Messrs Thorn ton. Williams. Jacobs, and Brown, each mo»e or less admirable in its way. we have not space to speak. The drama will be repeated to-night.

PARLIAMENTARY.

The Order of Speakers.

Divided Auckland Vote Again Loses the Day.

(From our Special Correspondent.)

WELLINGTON. It is said now that the debate will conclude this week, and it may do so if speakers con fine themselves to the question and not discuss the general sins of the Government, instead of Separation. About thirty mem bers will speak now, and seven could easily speak each night. Messrs Button, Hislop, Ballance, Whi taker, Atkinson, Hodgkinson, and probably Mr Bryce, will speak to-night, leaving Messrs Wood, Stout, Sheehan, Reid, DeLatour, and Macandrew as good speakers for the resolutions, while.Messrs Stafford, Bowen, and Sir Donald McLean are the only tolerable speakers likely to oppose. The speaking, as usual, will be on one side, but the majority of votes on the other. The Government papers claim to have 51 votes romised to oppose the resolutions. This is ot correct; 47 is the correct number at pre sent, but even two of these are not certain. It is whispered that Mr Rowe, out of pique against Sir George Grey, will oppose. The Thames people should know the reason, as c is utterly opposed to the Government pro osals, and will fall between two stools. The opinions of the Stab as to Auckland members leaving the Assembly, are much discussed today. The opinion is that it would not be advisable, as anything short of a last resort. There are still good and probably winning cards to play, even when a negative vote is taken. If all Auckland members are true to her interests the ?governmont would go out on the present question. There would then be 29 Auckland votes ; 20 Ofcago votes Karaitiana's, and three if not four from Canterbury, making a clear majority of the House. The Districts of Bay of Islands, Marsden, and Napier will probably have little cause to congratulate themselves upon the conduct of their members, who are under stood to have arranged for certain works to be done as the price of their support. The money however is not yet voted, much less s pent.

TESTIMONIAL TO THE CAPTAIN OF THE BEBINGTON.

(To the Editor of the Evening: Star ) , _ Sir,— Finding that there are various statements afloat concerning certain circumstances that took place- on board the Beblngton, on her passage from London here, and fearing that such statements may cause the character of the master to appear in a bad light, in the eyes of many, we, certain of the crew lately dis charged from the Beblngton, hereby affirm that we have never sailed with a better master, nor do we wish to. He is a thorough gentleman, and one who has always done his utmost to promote the comfort and wellbeingof those who are placed under him.

"SATURDAY NIGHT'S" ENTERTAIN MENT.

To the Editor of the Evening Stab,

Sir,—l beg to call attention through the columns of the Stab, to the condition into which the " Saturday Night's " Entertainments are rapidly driftingf. A short time ago, a mle was made to exclude tho street arabs, on account of their misdemeanours ; but now they have again made their appearance, and behave worse than before, annoying and shocking persons near them by their offensive and filthy remarks. Instead of tho genial and friendly spirit which for merly characterised these meetings, the programme last Saturday night was something liko the folia w inn:—Templar Ode, sung by tho entire house Opening remarks of tho Chairman, who statas that, inasmuch as he is not expected to make a spec3b. he will at once proceed with the programme, but bafore doing so, he speaks eloquently for about twenty minutes, denouncing in burning words the habit of drinking; he then calls the first name on tho pro gramme A pause ensues during which the street arabs use some choice exp essions, and squirt tobacco juice on those near them. After some delay the next name is called aud Brother C h, who combines the laudable post of committee-man with that of occa sional vocalist, "favours the audience" (?) with a song alter which there is a little hissing by the disorderly gamins, and the chairman enquires if there arc any of those animals with the long necks —probably giraffes— present among the audience. A recitation foilows in which the h's are gput in and left out with startling effect. Several comic and sentimental songs by gentle men. Tho chairman then calls on Mrs Homer, who for about the twentieth time sings, " Come back to Erin." Apologising for thus tre-passine on your space, I am, etc.—TicwrLAtt. |_fflßi_£_t_»___

FOOTBALL CLUBS.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) I submit the following to the consideration of footballists. We have at present a code of rules drawn up, 59 in number, under the heading of the " Rugby Union Football Rules," which are used in all matches played in Auckland. These, I think, might be condensed to a much smaller number, and some rules might be more clearly defined, "that is to say some of the present rules admit of different meanings and consequently are the subject of continual disputes between the different sides. These might be made longer and more complete, especially Nos. IS to 28. I think that a meeting of the different committees of Clubs in Auckland, with the Captains, should be called and the rules revised so as to suit all Clubs. These rules might then be submitted to the different provinces down South (where football is played) a complete code of rules be formed under the heading of the "New Zealand Football Rules," so that all the Clubs from either South or the North should have no cause of dispute from the rules differring. Now that the North have shown tho South that it is possible for a football team to make a tour of the Southern province, we see they are returning the compliment, by intending in a few weeks to engage us in the manly strife, consequently I trust the proposals suggested in this lether may not be consi dered lightly, as they aro the opinions of more football players than yours, An Umpire.

eyimiko mm> TfIn&DAY, AtratrsT % tm.



A special meeting of the Auckland Build ing Society will besheld this evening, at the society's office, at 7.30 to elect a Trustee to succeed the late Mr W. C. Wilson. Messrs Cocherane and son offered for'sale to-day at their Fort-street mart, the salvage of the brig Sarah. The blocks, rigging, ship's wheel, binnacle, ship's compasses, aDd cabin furniture were sold at reasonable pi ices, but the sails weae not sold. Tho amount of the collections in aid of the Church of England Home Mission Fund, made ou last Sabbath, and announced in yesterday's issue, is slightly incorrect. Common discernment should have told us, that the aristocratic suburb of Ponsonby, ( 4.11 Saints' Church).was capable of a greater financial effort—ajcoatribution amounting to the handsome sum of £1 3s 3d, when a little church at the North Shore gave £7 10s Id. The proper amount collected at All Saints' Church, should have been stated as £8 3s 3d.
