MEETINGS AND AMUSEMENTS.

THE T^aTRE.

The "Shaughraun" still keeps the boards at tha Prince of Wales Theatre, and night after nh-ht the same interest is evinced in this wonderful pl*y and the »phndid HCting of Mr Charies Wheatleiph. Last night, in spite of the unfavorable weather, the hou<e was well filled, and the applause was loud and con tinuous. The general opinion nnwis that the piece's in itself the most absorbing, and in i>s cast of char acters and mountings the most complete that has ever been played before an Auckland audience. 3 hose who have not yet been to see it must not lose the opportunity, as such another is not likely to occur again for a long while. The performance of yesterday was honoured by the presence of the Chevalier Blondin and his family. It is needless to say that this celebrated public character evoked much obser vation. * WILSON'S OIBCUS. The afternoon matinee and the evening circus en tertainment yesterday were largely at' ended. Severa1 hundred children took the opportunity in the after noon of seei' g the pretty horses and active riders which formed the subject of many a bright description in many homes before the dustman came. The even ing performance was fully attended by children of larger growth, who evinced their pleasure at the puling scenes by unmistafceable signs of approbation. The gentlemen and ladies performed with acknow •dged ability, the tumblers were more perfect, and Mr Johnson an_u<ed with flashes of wit and floods of podt-y. The opening was unfortunately wet, waich necessitated a curtailment of the programme, still there was plenty tor ihe money. We notice th»t a brilliant bill of fare has been prepared for this even ing, inclining the latest novelties, whi.h will b> under the patronage ot B Tonbs Esq. (Mayor), aod the members of the City Council. W- mat remind Oar raiders that this, to morrow, and the next night are the last three occasi >ns oa which tho Company will perform in Auckland.
