One sentence in the '' Cross" Piako Swamp article must have been copied from a Government journal of one of those South American Republics which become masteis of the treasury aril Government buildings at the point cf the bayonet, having themselves, in about six months, to give place to the same persuasive eloquence employed with equal force by some other victorious party. In these happy "free and enlightened" Spanish Republics, government journals are government journals and no mistake Otherwise, how could the poor journalists make a living ? Well, I feel certain that not long since, I saw in a "Venezuelan govern ment journal almost exactly the following sentence wHch I read in the ■' Cross" yes terday. The people who regard every act of the Government with a kind of morbid suppiciousnesp, and who, misled by blatant demagogism pretend that the entire govern mental machinery is subverted for unworthy purposes, will for once be disappointed of a Jeremiad. Really the lofty, grandioso Spanish Btyle has not lost much in the trans lation. Can the Editor of the •' Cross "be a Spanish Don in disguise ? Or is Dr Pollen here just now writing articles for the "Cross"? If so. then the (.honourable gentleman must have been reft-rrirjg to some of the journals alluded to for samples of style ; but doubtless, if brought to ta;>k, he could easily show that "no copy has been effected." Would the most complete stran ger to New Zealand politics, on reading this well rounded sentsnea, hentate one moment, in guessing -whether the paper that published it wss a government organ or not ? —I am sir, yours &c, Analogy.

MEETINGS AND AMUSEMENTS.

TBE SHAXJGHEAUN.

The Piircu of Wales Tteatre is gradually resuming its original popularity, and Mr Ch»'Jea Wbeatlei<h sntl Shaughraun are the means of tbis happy change. Thehou«e ij crowded nightly, and there appears no falling off in numter or in interest. Ko phy-wrighter of the sge knows bttter than BoDcicanlt how to cater for the varied public taste, he is the man of the hour although his fame, in fl'ty yearn hence, may hi for gotten. Mr Wheatlelgh is the absorbii g luini ary of the play, niid the others are the bs*«r stars ilut circle and spaikle ronnd him. His acting js n»tuTAl end graceful, depicting with wonderful fidelity the chr,;c ter in all its phases which he has professionally assumed. It would be a task to attempt to delineate the story o' the Sh»U£hraun, with iis iuterminglings of liphh and shade, nor is such description necessary for tin satisfaction of the reader Miss C »try George, of course, takes a prominent part, and by her excel lent acting does a great deal in the vay of success in this, as in other dramai Mr lawrence oho Mr Collier, Mr Searle and Mr Swei-ney and especially the ladies all did thi ir utmost in giving life and vitality to Shaughraun, which is certainly the best drama of the kina that has been brought out in Auckland f>r many years, and it deservt s well of thi public. The music, nnd the scenery by ihe artist Thornton, were beautiful and in keeping with the play. WILSON'S CIKCTJS. ■Wilson's Palace Circus was patronised last ereping by his Wor.-hip the M*yor »nd ihe members of the Cily Council; also by Chevalier Blondin and famiiy, which had he effect of filling the canvass temple to its utiuo«t limits.

The programme promised a f'-w extra EOvelttes, wh'ch were faithfully performed. Mo'lle Bosano bn light forth exclamation and shouts of de light by her extraonlinaiy globe performance Mdile Gracio, known as the beautiful gjmnast. was seen to great advantage on the trapeze, whilst Ali Ha< j Htino, in his famrus gun and dagger trick, almost brought down the houee. The other ladies and gentlemen all added more c r less to the splendour of the entertainment. We remind readers that the performances of this evening are for the bonefit of the enterprising proprietor, Mr John Wilson, on which eccasion the renowned Airec. Frince of the Air, will make his appe»rancs>.,,To-morrnw evening will be the last of this popular and successful circuit in Auckland In consequence of other engagements.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY AT SEA.

The report of a tragedy on board the Siamese -hip Queen of England has been received from the master of .the vessel from Hong kong, lfc appears that the ship left Hong kong for Bangkok on the Bth of August, and at 2 a.m. on the morning of the 9;h, while the master was standing on tbe poop ou Watch, a sailor named Noan came up, and seizing a belaying-pia, endeavoured to strike him. The master struggled with him, and was wounded ia the arm by a knife which Noan held in his hand. Noan then got away »nd the captain cried out for the mate, but got no answer. He then found that the helm waa deserted, and discovered the mate lying dead below, with his throat cut, his head "Ging^ almost severed from his body. The *»*& in charge of the helm hadj it appears,

Noan was suffering from a disease knownamong the Malays and Siamese as gillah, or amocque. It takes the form of ringworm, aod is attended in every case by madness of more or leas seventy. -Fall Mall Gazette, November 9.

fMI KVlßtfSm ifAJft FRIDAY, JA.NtT_ABY. 21 i^6



The residence of C. McMillan, Esq., at Eemuera, was last night broken into. The lock of the back door bad been forced, and the burglar was making his way towards the dining-room when he stumbled against a rocking-horse. The noise was heard by Mr. MaoMillan, who struck a light, and made his way downstairs, when he found that the door was wide open, but the intruder had decamped without taking an3- thing. An examination of the premises w;;s made, but without finding any trace of the fugitive. We understand that this is the third time houses in the district have betn broken into, and the absence of police protection affords perfect security for the offrfnr'e s and for loafers of every species. The population and extent of the Eemuera district entitles it to the protection of a resident constable. We hope Mr Broham will see his way to complying with the wishes of residents in this matter. An afternoon parformance will be given at the circus tv-morrow, when a special bill of fare for children will be prepared. This is positively the last occasion upon which the little folk will have an opportunity of seeing the wonders of horsemanship and acrobatic skill at the monster pavilion. PrroTOGKApmc.—R. H.
