"SIR SIMON SIMPLE."

Such Avas the title of Byron's comedy Avhich was presented by the Lingards last evening at the Theatre Royal. The house Avas comfortably filled on the occasion, and the comedy Avas anticipated Avith the feeling that something good Avas about to be introduced after the depar ture of " Our Boys." The orchestra performed several fine selections of music, and on the rising of the curtain a scene of no especial pro mise Avab presented, namely that of an avari cious money-lender at his desk, busy with his goose-quill. The comedy is remarkably simple in its construction, involves but tow incidents, and were it not for Mr Lingard as Simon Simple, Avould haA'e but fow real attractions. The comedy, however, has had an im mense run in England, America, and Aus tralia, still as a Avork of art, it does not equal " Our Boys." The story of the plot may be shadowed forth in a few words : Daniel Murgatroyd (Mr Holloway) represents a money lender, and has a neico (Miss Dunning) in avliosc fortune he is selfishly interested. lie exerts all his poAvcrs to bring about a match between Felicia and Simon, who is supposed to be exceedingly wealthy. Felicia, however, has a strong and satirical aversion to Simon Simple, Avho is not such a fool as he looks. Felicia, with a half patronising air, lets Simon know that she has given her heart to another, a dashing young man named Fred Grantly (Mr Lawrence). Murgatroyd still perseveres, but Simon sees through tho dodge, although A-ery sloav ap parently in perception. Finding tho true state of i things, Murgatroyd storms and threatens to disclose the facts of Simon's lineage, if he persists in breaking Feli cias heart. Simon at length declares that if her little heart is to be broken, Murgatroyd Avill do it by an ill-assorted marriage, and lie tells him plainly that he avIU not marry a girl in the sure prospect of both being miserable for life. The grubbing money-lender then tells Simon that he is not of noble birth, but the son of a washerwoman, Mrs. Mould, Avho rushes in at the moment and the curtain drops upon a most laughable and ludicrous scene. The next act shews Simon in his low estate, a comparative pauper, in tho hands of his supposed mother, .Jane Mould, Avho does not foi'get to use her tongue, both to her husband (Mr. Rede) and her son' Simon. Her frequent references to her first husband, dear departed Cooksey, and estimates of Cooksey and Mould, one an angel up above, and the other a demon down beloAv, Avere most amusing. This lady (Miss Lawrence) played the part of Mrs. Mould Avith consummate skill. Air. Hohoway also, as Murgatroyd, dis played considerable talent, and his make-up Avas good. Miss Dunning, as Felicia, was admirable, and her delineations of the feminine character delightful. The comedy Avinds up rather abruptly by the clearing up of the mystery by the unlooked for appearance of Mrs. Morton, tho real mother of Simon, Avho, twenty-three years before, had left him in charge of the washerwoman. Murgatroyd turns out to be his father, and the comedy ends Avell by the re-union of Murgatroyd and Mrs. Morton, the marriage of Grantly and Felicia, tho mutual happiness of Mould and his Avifc, and the simple uninterrupted independence of .Simon Simple. The comedietta of "Tho Weavers," a piece full of animation, in which four characters appeared. Avas most acceptable to the visitors, and sent them home in excellenthumour. The programme Avill be repeated to-night, and to-morrow even ing, on the occasion of the ladies' fashionable night, the famous Lingard sketches Avill be given.

ELLERSLIE CEMETERY.

(To the Editor of the Evening Stak). Sir,—l notice by public advertisement that a meeting is to be held, having for its object the "selecting of a proper site for the District," and I presume for organizing a Necropolis Company as previously proposed. The scheme may be a A'erv good one to enable Mi- Graham to dispose of liis property, but would it not be well for in tending shareholders to satisfy themselves that the proposal will pay, and for the public to con sider if they are prepared to pay such increased fees as Avould bo absolutely necessary to cover the Avorking expenses of a company, and give even a moderate return for the capital required to purchase the ground in question. If I may Ridge of the income received by the several existing local cemeteries, from my knowledge of one of them, I Avould say that the fees hereto fore received have been altogether inadequate to keep the grounds in even decent order; and I have reason to believe that the grave digger's fees from two of the cemeteries unitedly have paid him on an average only 33s per Aveek during the past ten months. Under such circumstances Avould it not be avcll for the promoters of the Ellers lie movement, before proceeding further, to ascertain the number of burials that take place annually, and the revenue and expenditure of each of the live local cemeteries, and frankly inform the public of the facts, that they may be considered at the same time as the estimates on Avhich it is calculated the proposed company can be made to pay. lam far from saying that the present cemeteries should not soon be closed, except to the families of those already interred there, but I do question the advisability ot a heavy outlay, and consequently heavy fees and other charges, in purchasing a property Avhorc the Government has already granted and gazetted a site, free of cost, for a public ceme tery. Why not avail ourselves of this grant, and take steps to have its management entrusted to a committee representing the various denomin ations as a Avhole, or in sections. A great deal of reflection has been cast on our present cemeteries by sub-leaders and locals in the papers of late, evidently in the interest of the Ellerslie movement, but I must say that having visited the Church of England and public burial grounds more frecpiently than most people, 1 have never experienced anything so objection able as Avhat has been represented, and certainly but what could be remedied by proper draining, such as has recently been carried out to some extent by the trustees for the ground now known as tho Auckland Public Cemetery. I have no Avish to prejudice Avhat may be called Mr. Gra ham's Movement, but these thoughts having presented themselves to my mind, they are offered for public consideration.

Tlie Directors regret to have to place before tlie Shareholders a Balance Sheet shcAAdii" a loss on the Working Account. The New Zealand business shows a satis factory account, excepting the West toast trade and the Fiji trade has collapsed, with heavy loss to the Company. Ihe Directors have, on account of the great reduction in the value of steamers through out the Colonies, and the probability of considerable loss on the " Llewellyn (now lying in Sydney for sale) written oil the U5,0!)0 from the value of steamers, Avhh-.lt sum has hitherto stood as a Reserve Fund, and trusl il will meet Willi your iipi.roval The Insurance Account is now at C' 2 1'.)7 L">s. 7d., having been increased liv mi 2 10s. since last report, but the accident to tho " V™Uy Jane" will absorb n portion of this amount.—WlLl .1 AM C.

a better one, but dwelt upon the fact that the Colonial trade was profitable, and the loss had arisen from the collapse of the Fiji trade. The Chairman alluded at some length to the affairs of the company. Mr G. B. Oavcii seconded.

Mr. J. S. Macfarlane said he wished to say a feAv words as to the purchase of the LleAvellyn. He had been blamed for the whole loss, which had resulted from that transaction. The boat was purchased upon the surveys of gentlemen Avho Avere supposed to bo good au thorities. He merely went to Sydney to negotiate the payment. Before closing with the bargain' he came back to the directors, and took their opinion which Avas favorable. He did not object to take his share of the blame as director, but not as the onlyjperson concerned.

Capt. Daldy said he was able to say that Mr Macfarlane's statement was correct as to the directors approving of the sale. The only thing he Avas surprised at was that Mr J. S. Macfarlane should buy a boat Avithout seeing it. The Chairman at Mr Boardman's request explained the nature of the insurance fund.

Mr G. I>. Owen asked what Avas the position of the Pretty Jane?

Tlie Chairman said she was about to be repaired, and would be in. the trade again in three months. The Company expected to receive an oiler for the LleAvellyn in a feAV days. The report and balance-sheet Avere adop ted, which concluded the business.

WRECK OF THE PEERLESS.

By the arrival of the Ryno we rccci\'e tidings of the Avreck of the well-knoAvn schooner yacht Peerless on the reef at Souwarro w. The greater number of persons Avho have resided in Auck land during the last lavo years, Avill be able to trace back the eventful career of this ill-fated but beautiful little schooner. How she was taken by her Arolatile owner Colonel Stcinberger to Samoa, and there used as a Avar cruiser to enforce the despotic rule of that self-appointed Governor; lioav she Avas seized by the British and American consuls for a breach of the neu trality laws, and sold to Captain McKcnzio of this port; lioav she sailed into Auckland one evening exciting everyone's curiosity and ad miration by her fairy-like build and swift, glid ing movement; how she Avas cracked up by a sanguine contemporary till her new owners thought nothing on earth could touch her at sailing; lioav Mr T. Niceol and Mr Kissling took up the gauntlet and raced her to a stand still round Tiri; her long detention here pend ing the arrival of the necessary papers for con tinuing the title; her ultimate sale to Messrs Henderson and Macfarlane, and mission to the Islands. These, and no doubt several other incidents in the history of the Peerless, will be called to mind by most of those Avho now read of her destruction. From the report brought up by the Ryno, it appears that the Peerless was wrecked on the night of the -2nd August, on the reef at Souwarrow. The A-cssol was bound to HoiiAvarroAV, and shortened sail on the night of the Ist Avith the expectation of seeing SouAvarrow at daylight in the morning. At a quarter past live, or a short time before day break, the mate, avliosc watch it was, suddenly found tlie vessel close to the breakers, and when the captain Avas called she Avas too far in to wear her round or do anything to prevent her striking. She struck just about daybreak, and became a total wreck. The ci'CAV and the greater part of the cargo of trade were saved by boats from the island. Tlie mainmast was cut away to prevent the vessel breaking up at once. 'The Peerless became a total wreck a few hours after. She was sold two days after wards to a diver named Peter Peterson for £_0. The Peerless was insured in the Victoria Ollice for £500, of which £200 Avas re-insured in the National.

MISSIONARY MEETING AT ONEHUNGA.

The annual mission gathering in connection with the Manukau Circuit, Avas held in the Wcslcyan Church, Onehunga, last evening. The Rev. Thomas Buddie. Avas called to the chair. He said he felt it an almost unspeakable pleasure to preside on an occasion like the present, which brought to mind similar occasions in past years. He believed he preached the first Wesleyan ser mon in Onehunga, and the service washeld about 20 years ago in a little cottage. The missions had done a great work for Ncav Zealand. 'The former days of the New Zealand Missons were cramped for want of means, but now the whole was self supporting. There are many places yet to occupy, Pukekohc, Mercer, Maukau, and other places which required skilled and earnest labourers. They Avantcd men of the right stamp, and hoped the cash would continue to come forward. The Rev. W. Bowse, from Hokianga, spoke of the great work effected among his people. The Maoris had become almost civilized. The Maoris were anxious that their children should be taught the English language, and he believed that before long the Maori language Avould die out. The Three Kings Institution Avas a great boon for the training of young Maoris, who Avould go to preach to their oavu people the wonderful story of the Cross. The Rev. Mr Schnackenberg from Raglan spoke of: his pleasure at being at tlie meeting. He was as hopeful of the Avork as ever, and though often Avearied in the arduous work, yet never tired of it. He Avas sure his efforts towards the natives Avere not lost, nor in vain. He found them, on the Avhole, willing to follow his counsel and teaching. The Rev. G. Brown spoke of his labours in New Guinea. It Avas 17 years since he Avas in Onchungu Church. He had been 11 years in Samoa, and during that time ho spent 2 years in a ucav mission. He had great hopes for the future. He spoke of the Tonga students, and Avould not be afraid of putting them in compari son with any students in the colonies. Mi- Brown concluded a most interesting account of his mission. The meeting closed with the bene diction.

LINGARD AND PRESIDENT GRANT.

WE mentioned in our supplement of last 'Aveck that the Lingards wcro en route for Dunedin, and would open at the Princess Theatre on Sat urday 15th July. It is not yet known what the opening piece will be, but Aye understand the first ofifhc novelties that Mr Lingard Avill pro duce will bo his lightning sketches, out of which he has already not only made a large fortune, but also a splendid reputation. In the United States ho has been literally coining money with them for the past eight years, and as ho is shortly to initiate our readers into the mysteries of their entertaining power, we think it may not be out of place to record the following amusing inci dent that occurred at the National Theatre, Washington, U.S.:—" Some time since, having announced a performance at that theatre, he advertised amongst the celebrities he would impersonate during the evening, the name of President Grant. The house Avas crowded to excess on the occasion, but Mr Lingards feelings can scarcely be, analysed when, on peeping through the eye-hole in the cur tain, ho perceived the President himself seated in one of the boxes. The performance, how ever, Avent on: and, as he neared that portion of the programme in which President Grant Avas announced to appear, the excitement of the audience became intense. At last the turn for the President came. Lingard hesitated for a moment, but the shouts of the audience were deafening, and in a few seconds he stepped for- Avard— Hie life-like image, of the President. For a few moments the Avails of the theatre seemed ready to burst, as cheer after cheer was thund ered out, mingled with the name of 'Grant!', and in the midst of tins tumult, the President himself stepped forward and bowed his acknow ledgments. For a second, as the two men, one in the box and his counterpart on the stage;, Stepped forward, the likeness was bewildering, and tho uproar increased, 'the next moment President Grant turned towards the stage lo bow his acknowledgments to Mr. Lingard, when what, was his surprise to sec standing before him not his own double, hut a life-like image of G. V. Brooke. In the few seconds of excitement attendant on the second burst of applause, Lin gard had changed from one character to another."
