NEW ZEALAND AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

.Che usual monthly meeting of this Society was held at the Criterion Hotel, Oisahuhu, yesterday. There was a very poor atten dance, only six gentlemen being present.— Mr_ Luke was voted to the chair, and ex plained the business, which was to decide whether it would be desirable to hold the Annuai Show this year. A discussion took place on the subject, and the question of funds was gone into. The secretary stated that last year £220 5s had been paid in prizes, and the chairman gave it as his opinion that the expenses of a show this year would be £500. After some further information had been asked and given, it was deemed unadvisable to come to a decision with so few members present. Accordingly, the following resolution, pro posed by Mr Owen McGee, was carried unanimously : " That a special meeting Bhould be held that day fortnight at the Criterion Hotel, Otahuhu, to decide the matter, and that in the meantime circulars should be printed and sent round to the members of the Society, notifying them of the same, and asking tbeir presence." Mr R. McGee said if the meeting was not well attended, he intended to move a resolution that the Society be wound up.

THE PACIFIC MAIL SERVICE.

The Auckland Chamber of Commerce some time back anpointed a committee to enquire into the difficulties connected with the Pacific Mail Service, and that committee has now prepared its report. We have not space for the document in full, but we may say that after setting forth the prominent defects of the present service including as it does tho forked route, and coastal appendage, the report recommends, what will meet with the approbation of every business man in Auck land, that the service be altered to the direct route to Sydney, via., Honolulu, and Auck land. It points out how that cable com munication between Auckland and Sydney will enable Sydney merchants by this route to get two days earlier, and later communica tion with San Francisco ; It alludes to the draw backs connected with the K.ndavu transhipment, and calls attention to the fact that the contractors under the proposed service could do with one steamer less. The latter portion of the report deals with the unsuitabilifcy of the Bay of Islands as a port of call instead of Auckland. Want of accom modation, inability to supply fresh provisions, and engineering requirements, inconvenience from transhipment of passengers, and other disadvantages, are enumerated as being in separable from the substitution. The report is well drawn up, and we trust steps will be taken to impress upon the Assembly the im portance of its recommendations.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

TnE third representation of "Fidelia," last evening at the Prince of Wales Theatre was received with the same amount of satisfaction as on the previous even ings. Ihe attendance wa3 also good. Nell sustained her characters with her wonted life and reality, whil. Mr Giddens was himself in his undertaking, and elicited generous applause. Tho subordinate charac ters were sustained with vigour and fidelity. A change will take place this evening, and an extraor dinary treat in comedy may be looked for. Two pieces wiU be introduced. Plance _ " Pride of the Market," and the " Talkative Wife." The heroine of the village will be exhibited by Nell, and Isadore by Mr Giddens. A rustic duet will be sung by Nell and Mr Giddens of a very interesting nature. Mr Searle will appear as the M*rquls, Mrs Searle as Javotte, Mr Inglis as the Chevalier. Tom Burton as the Baton ; the other -.tuitions will be filled by Messrs Williams. Brown, Jacobs, and Finlay. Miss Raymond will appear as Mdlle Louise. The comedy is sparkling and full of incident. The cosing farce will be solely sus tained by Nell and Mr Giddens.

FEARFUL TRAGEDY.

One 'of our Paris correspondents writes : —"Afearful crime has excited the most pain ful interest here. A few days ago a little girl was found in the wood of Vincennes with her throat cut and a bouquet of flowers lying at her feet. The knife employed by the assassin had been so violently driven that the point had snapped off. The body of the little victim was seat to the Morgue in Paris, and before long it was ascertained that her parents were named Daveluy. Then it came out that the father informed his wife that he had obtained a situation at Vincennes, and he started for that place taking his little girl with him. A couple of days afterwards he returned home alone, and Baid his new master had taken Jeanne into the country. Daveluy then ordered his wife to pack up her things before leaving Paris, and he went and. purchased a trunk, for which he paid 50 francs, altoagh he said it was not long enough. When Daveluy and his wife were in the cab which had been sent for, some neighbours came round, and, feeling uneasy, wished to know where the coachman was to drive to. Daveluy refused to say, and wrote on a piece of paper the address to which he desired to be driven. It was only after the departue of the Daveluys that the identity of little J eanne was established. From inquiries made at Vincennes it waß soon made evident that Daveluy had never obtained a situation there. The greatest excitment prevailed when these circumstances were known; it was feared that Daveluy had murdered his wife and put her body in the trunk, and it was even suspected that he had gone into the Nievre to kill his son, who is in that depart ment. The police were not long finding the cabman who took the Daveluys away from their house, and they discovered Mdme Daveluy in a lodging-house in the Boulevard de -'Hospital, ignorant of her daughter s death, and what had became of her husband. Yesterday a man was found crushed to death on the Lyons line, and it was clear that he had committed suicide. It turned out that this man was Daveluy, and that he had murdered his daughter. Great sympathy is felt for the unfortunate widow. No explanation is given with regard to the motives of this crime. It is only charitable te suppose that Daveluy, who was of a morose disposition, had become insane."

INTERPROVINCIAL FOOTBALL.

The meeting called for last evening at the Thames Hotel to make arrangements for the forthcoming visit of the Canterbury Football Team, duly came off snd was exceedingly attended._^T_omM Henderson. Captain of the Auckland Football Olub, was voted^o th Pc chair, and read »*"£»£«*£ had received from the Secretary of the ChrlstC-iurch would probably leave by the Haw« on. the 24th fart.

Mr Burgess in moving the formation of this committee, paid a graceful compliment te-the Canterbury men for their hospitality on the occasion of the Auckland team's visit to CMlatchurch last year, and expressed a hope, that every care would he/taken,

SATURDAY NIGHT ENTERTAIN MENT.

«Jm •~The^', was a good deal of truth in the letter of Templar" in your Tuesday's issue, in reference to the Saturday Night" entertainment, and laßt even ing the committee sat for several hours with the view of d wising some means to prevent the rowdyism which interfer- s so much with the harmony of these weekly gatherings. I do not know the result of the com mittee's cosritaUons, but from what I he_r, the rules for the future will be very stringent. Your corres pondent refers sho in a half complaining tone, of the . rrqne-nt repetition of sonars, such ss toose of Mrs Homer, who has sung "Dear Little Shamrock" over thirty time 3at temperance and other meetings in this city; and, as this lady sings but two soucs, and is continually in request, what can she do? It is almost impossible for her to learn new songs in con sequence of the demands upon her time, by her family, which need looking after. Again Mr Chapman has sung "lamented Mr Jones," forty-three times, in ivnrt new Auckland, until audi ences are weary of the melancholy repetition. Bro. Cornish also, continually warbles his limited stock of thr.e Lancashire ditties. I would add further, that Mr McKenzie. a gentleman of tal.nt, takes ihe chair about three times in the month Considering the unvarying sameness, and tbe frequent repetitions of sonrr and sentiment; a sense of restlessness in the audience is not remarkable —Pipsti's Sok.

MUSICAL TASTE.

To th 9 Editor of the Evening Stab,

Sir, —The following page from a recent work entitled " Musical Recollections," contains some valuable suggestions for our vocalists who desire to see music occupying its true position as a Fine Art. The work is by an old and intimate friend of Sir Michael Costa, and will therefore command some respect. You may probably con sider it of sufficient value for insertion in your paper, and oblige, yours, &c , Samuel Edger.

" Whilst, however, in choral and instrumental effects, such excellence has been attained, it is painful to have to state that, the qualities ot vocal principals, as solo singers ar« cilled, aro a thing wholly of tho past. The old race has passed away, it is to be feared, for ever, unless the rising members of tho programme be induced—wo mii?ht say be driven—to resort to the same moans which made their predecessors appear like giants in the presence of the present race of musical pigmies patient study and application not only in the matter of vocal execution, but in that of theory and sight singing. The present race of English public vocalists—and of foreign also—with but one or two r.re and singular exceptions is like fruit, which might, sooner or lator, have become ripe and luscious had it been permitted to hsng until it was fit to bs gathered, but which, having been plucked much too soon, is crude and sour, and never comes to perfec tion, for in publio terms, singers both male and female, and especially the latter, now-a-days rush bo'ora the public ere their style is formed, their voices settled, or their education rompleted. As for learning the scales so as to distinguish each tone and half-tone as distinctly as if given out by the clarionet, tbe flute, or the oboe, as w_ have heard them, and as by marked instances it will be specified, no such result wo fear is again to be expected. Such scale passages are heard in perfection only on the rarest occasions, and even then are, unhappily, ganerally so little appreciated by the public in spite of the mu-sical progress of the times, that it ha 3 Crtme to bo believed both by modern teachers and pupils _to be an effect " mo'e honorod in the breach thin in the observance." In their place and room a mischievous and miserable system of tremulousness is substituted as a mere meretricious attempt at producing feeii-g, the only apt explanation of which is to be found in the words of the satirist—

" And seizing on innocent little B flat, She shook it like a terrier shaking & rat." AH nature, feelin., sentiment, style, and metbod are thu3 discarded, whilst purity of tone is sacrificed for mere sensational screaming ; a " final close " con trary to all rules of rhythm or of art, being substitu ted for tho composer'- intontion ; and a valgar shout, as if from lungs of 40-horse steam engine power, adopted merely to " split tho ear 3of the groundlings, and to obtain the demands of an uproarious encore, whether that equivocal compli ment be intended to bo acknowledged or not."

HOW VICTORIA GOT SEPARATION.

(To the Editor of the Evening Star.) Sir—ln answer to your correspondent's question, ■" Was Mr Latrobe Superintendent of Port Phillip ." Yes ! And a leaf taken from the Colonial history of that time may afford a useful lesson to Auckland. Joseph Latrobe, Esq., was the son of a Moravian missionary, brother to an English clergyman, married to a Swiss ladyj a traveller and author. Invested with the powers of a Lieu tenant-Governor, nominated under the Gover nor of New South Wales, he landed in Mel bourne Oct. Ist, 1839. In reply to an address presented to him on that occasion he said : "Itmill not be by individual aggrandisement that ive shall secure for the. country enduring prosperity" His salary was £800 per annum. " He comes," says the solitary newspaper, " to us as our good genius, to place us high in the scale of colonies. Colonies ! nay, he comes to fonnd a mighty empire." The spirit of prophesy entered the brain of the editor. For twe_vfe years Latrobe was Super intendent, and in 1851 Separation was ob tained from New South Wales. The Port Phillippians knew thoir rights, and knowing, dared demand them. They compared them selves to Ixion, bound to the wheel by a cor rupt Government, while a vulture officialdom devoured their liver as fast as it grew. They returned impossible representatives to Parlia ment, selected from the home Ministry ; to wit, Sir Robert Peel, Lords Broughton and Russell ; prefeiring non-representation to mis-representation, and cut th? painter ! The discovery of the great goldfield, Ballarat, in the same year, placed Victoria a bright jewel in the British crown, and a place in the scale of nations.—Yours, truly, J. C. W.
