THE THEATRE.

Tin-: srairkFaa petite drama oi " Fer-y or Night andFfoiniing," was produced last e.vai: g at the Theatre Royal, by Ar Charier \\ heatieVh and his company. This pleasant rritie, from the yi3,! cf Bouoieault, was performed one even ing at tire old theatre by Mr Wheat loiah. oa his previous visit, in February, IS7G. Tho plot of the drama is not mysterious ; its meaning being am.-aront in tho i-ov,ro3cnts tior.s of the lead:...- eiatraeters. Kerry wasan [ afclf!impersonation bj 1..:. \\ kesvA-igh, t., servant in the family of the'young officer. Crace Dos mond,;:wno meets, aeerodlr.g to report, with an untimely death at Liverpool. T'e.e death of Geraid is received v-na sadness by rhe wholeof the household, and by none more- than i-.ythe bride, Blanche : which was *n able and life-like delineation by /diss Tilly Andrews. .Ferry was a fine and very natural impsiseaation by j Ale vv'heatleigh, awl the principal interest ) of the story depends upon ids powers; he is virtually the: rrier of the house, in consequence of his strong sense and kiadneas of disposition. His demeanour and bearing proved him a master cf tee art. c-^-vy tone and gesture being in perfect accordance f.uli ihs spirit, of the play, /diss Henderson was natural as Kate, rhe sister of the supposed widow. Mr Bolton assumed the character Cf Captain Cold ham with credit, -.vaile FA Searie appeared as Dr. Mellish, tiie fami:7 physician, and. in this character he shewed up 'amana ->Iy well. " Kerry'" altogether was well put a per. tno stage, and the pleasant news that tho younjr oiiicer Dusinand, was no! .drowned, as his >:': Wlen re appearance proves beyond all da.I'--, was greeted with smiles and. rejoicing:*, iFussrative of the axiom, "Ail's wall that end? well." In consequence of the brevity of " ixerry" the comedy of "Victim cf Circumstances" was added, and which, with '-.Kerry.''' made a capital evening's programme. Leon Bonne fo', the most prominent character, was a first - class performance, characterised by that finish which distinguishes all this gentleman's portraits. The comedy is replete with chance and animation, it being an adaptation from the French. Mrs i-earira'was evidently at home as Madame a'crr. a-piet, and made an admirable display of that touchiness of disposition and peculiarities of temper which are inseparable for such a dominant female. The comedy was such in reality, fall of eccen tricities end comic situations, without any definite aim be- or.d that of amusement. Rolcrochc was excellently pva-Lv ran by Mr I G. Leopold. Tha lesser characters were J pleasantly sustained by FLFs Tidy Andrews, j Miss Henderson, and Miss Daley. Other characters were brought our in eae.r relief by i Messrs IToyle, APaairic-, and others. r'!,Fe j acme bill of /are will be presented lair | evening. j '_'_ /"' '" " *~ ~" i A TKIAL for murdci under mesa atrocious circumstances has ]a.A taken jcdacc: at? man named Lara: Vitalis, a/id ;; young woman, Flaria Fa :■:•_ and the victim was the mothoi of the female prisoner.

DISCOVERY OF A SHIPWRECKED CREW.

SOME time in /ray last, Pear-Admiral j heard at Yokohama that there were a number of shipwrecked persons supposidto j be on some isln.nu near Dam pier Straits, in j kit. 0.34 S., and long. 130.32 E. It appears j that the whaling barque Agate, which was in that vicinity in February last, was boarded by natives from the Island of I>al lanta, Kiiis William, and other_ islands, and "lie captain of the barque was iuionned by one oi the chiefs that on an island to the northward there were sixteen white men ami one woman. The information was com municated in broken English, ana was hardly intelligible. In the direction m which Fie ehi..: pointed, lay .he islands oi j Carmen, Lama, and Maygieu, as well as j several smaller ones, and it was impossible j to tell how far aif the shipwrecked people j were. Acting upo» this information, Ad- j miral Reynolds despatched the steamer Alert to scare:: Fre castaways aiUOng rhe islands ah a: Dumpier Straits. A Fan Francisco dispatch now stages that tlie schooner Or. S. had arrive.: at that port, and reported having fallen in with tiie barque Panic, or. New Bedford, on the 2nd March, the captain of which signalled that he had on board the crew and passengers of the schooner Urania, wrecked on the island of Lokin (?) The discovery of those- unfortunate people is most extra ordinary, eoutddering that the schooner i Urania has been missing since December, 1 1875. it appears that the Urania sailed [ from Kodish, Alaska Territory, on ihe Adit j December; IS7! -> ; tot Sun Francisco, since |

which time nothing has been seen or heard of her. She had then on board, besides ' her crew, Mr Sheeran, the United States collector at Alaska, Captain Lee and his wife,, and others, making a total of sixteen men and one woman, which is exactly the I number given to the captain of the .Agate by the chief of the Island of Ballanta, in February.

AXES TO GRIND.

(To tlie Editor of the .Star.) j Sik, —What, is all this about axes to grind? Are they to carry oat all their schemes without comment?' Look at the many little axes they have to grind con tinually; why do they "begrudge others what J ts .-o proiitable to themselves ? Is it right j to give the patent slip site r.wav—part of tiie public estate—in the mariner they propose? The putting it up to auction is only v sham, and a needless expense ; why not say at once to the company who pro pose.-: to Fry down tlie"slip : '"' We anew you :ire the only ones in the market, make your^own terms."' But. sir, is it possible the Board are so blind as to dispose of the parent slip site to the hr.-A that comes ? Are they aware that, they are only in trust el the harbor, and responsible to the public I for their actions ? By all means lot us have j a anient slip—a dozen oi them, if men are j to be ronn:3 willing to la;, them down— but ' W'uuu probably •bo tlie rrr/a; or bringing and erect v better slip than the old one coutemph'.ted.

This ia very signiti cant language, and the practical operation of the new law will in all probability be that some of this greedy settler's neighbours will take his cat-la off to thejaearest pound, z^uu ho will, of course, resort to reprisals, and take theirs in return; aud the bad feeling, which ia so fre quently smouldering between settlers in isolated communities, will blaze out into open and red hot: feuds, raid. Magistrates Courts will require ro sit much more frequently than they do at present. And in tho Forth, where the forty-acre allotments are mixed interminably with waste lands belonging to the Oovernuient, this law will have the effect not only of preventing par sons from purchasing land, but also of leasing it.

THE GOOD SAMARITANS.

The anniversary of the Gooi Samaritan Lodge was held last, evening in tho large room of the young Men's Christian AsFociation. Over the platform, in graceful setting, wers lilies and leaves surrounding the emblems of the order. Nearly three hundred persons sat down to plentifully spread tahles. The visitors^ and i-i'ieiics were as- aiuo;..s!y waned upon oy Sisters l-.eene, Bushell, Lizzio and Rebecca Biggs, Wells, Mi cki2, Kollor. Moulden, Peace, Bettany, Riirt Eggir.lon (2). Tea being over, Fro. Peace, senior, W.C.T., proposed, and Bro. Biggs, G.L.D., secondsd, that tlie Rev R. S. Hassard be the chairman —a clergyman who had taken a warm in! c wet in the. welfare of the working classes. Mr Peace referred to tho pro gress of the lodge, which was healthy in every ,' j respect. Rev R. S. Hassard said ha would not I detain them with a long speech, as a good pro- ! gramme was before him. fie scarcely felt him- j self at home in the position of chairman, as he I was not a Good Templar, althouQ-h a total i abstainer. He did act approve of legislative I interference in making men cobcr. hut believed ! rather in education and personal example. ! The programme of the evening was of v very interesting character.

"Tlie Talking Barber, of Queen-street," was favorably received, and tie trade of Lathwum Bios, is likely to be improved thereby. 'Fie inoekers cf the evening were Pros. S. Fa-nr-; and Moulding. Bro. Femes could not believe in tho word "re spectable" in connection with hotel-keeping, and he considered that when a. publican said "1 must live," he should receive the reply which Hen Jonson gave to the bogger who made use of the same remark, " there is no necessity for it."

TWO NEW STEAMERS.

I Messks Fkasee and TINNE are at present, engaged in building a twin screw iron steamer of novel construction, inasmuch as j thescrewsare notside by side, butoueateaeh ; end of the vessel. The boat when finished j isjint ended for a temporary nig lit boat for the j Thames. Sheistobe provided with sleeping j accomcd.-iT.iop for twelve passcngerF, and is to ea. ry about 20 tons oi cargo. She is shaped so as to have an over-hanging stern, with great flam, ami tlie screw well inside the former. Her dimensions are as follow : —Length on keel, 75ft; beam, Oft Din ; depth of hold, sft 6iu. She is to be fitted with compound, surface conden sing engines, and furnished with all the latest improvements. The arrangement of the screws is on the Thornycroft principle, and is expected to render her very fast. She will be ready for sen in a few weeks. and will then be put on to run as a night boat t the Thames, in connection with the Rotoinahana, and under the same manage ment. When her services on this route : are dispensed with, as they are likely to be ere long, she will Irs useful in many ways. ' I Her rig is to ho that of a- fore and aft I I schooner. \ J Messrs Eraser and Tinne intend to con- j I struct a much larger iron boat for the | j Thames trade, and have received the plates j ;, for the same by the ship Sam Mendel, just , I arrived. This is to be 120 ft. long, 18 ft. I broad, with a draught of water of from 3 ft. J G in. to -1 ft. She will have good passenger and cargo accommodation, and will be in all resi.ee!s a thoroughly serviceable vessel ! in the trade in which she is to take part. I We notice that Messrs Eraser nnd Tinne j are launching out in the iron ship-building trade. They have a large number of men engaged constantly, and should they succeed in keeping orders from, going to England, they will have conferred a great blessing on Auckland. Messrs eraser add Tinne have had Ihe ! large boiler at their factory, Mechanics5 j Fay, cated with Fadrili's patent non-con- j ductor-of-heat composition.
