THEATRE ROYAL.—"M'LISS."

There was a good attendance at the Theatre Royal on Saturday evening, to witness the second production of " M'Liss," despite the very unfavourable state of the weather. The cast of characters was the same as on the nrevious evening, aud the united efforts of the Company made tUo performance an eminent success. "Yuba Bill," the stage-coach driver, was im personated with life-like fidelity by Mr Jack, who made the most of evary point of his eh r acter. Miss Firmin, as the heroine. M'Liss, was extremely successful, and her vigorous and artistic style of acting in a rather difficult part, elecited frequent bursts of applause from the audience. Air Steele made a fine ' Charles Gray," and his impersonation of the village schoolmaster was true and natural. Messrs Jack and Steele and Mis 3 Firmin, were com pelled to appear before the curtain repeatedly, and bow their acknowledgements to the audi ence. Mr Emmet made a good hit as the Rev McSnosrley, and " Christianity," as represented in the person of that gentleman, was repeatedly called for by the highly delighted "gods." We may remark that the play was adapted from the story written by the American author, Bret Harte, by Mr Emmet. Mr Musgrave, as " Old Smith," Air O'Brien as " Judge Beeswinger," Mr Bin ford, as "John Walters," and Miss May as " Clytemnestria Morpher," were all very good representations, and worthy of notice. The various songs by Miss Firmin were extremely well sung, and rapturously applauded by the audience. On the whole, the performance on Saturday night passed off very successfully, reflecting great credit on the whole of the members ot the Company included iv the cast. THIS EVENING. " M'Liss" will bo presented for the last time this evening, andall who are desirous of witness iug a really flue play, should not neglect this opportunity. wwe^

DISTRICT COURT.—THIS DAY.

(Before F. D. Fenton, Esq., District Judge.)

Bed Queen Goldmining Co. (Limited}. — Mr Alexander presented the affidavit of the liquidator in the affairs of the Red Queen Goldmining Co., and moved for the approval of the Court, under the 108 th clause of the Goldmining Act : the assets having been realised as far as possible by Mr Henry N. Garland, liquidator.—The Court ac cordingly rziade an order approving of the preparation of the schedule by the liquidator. Golden Arrow Goldmining Co. (Limited). —i\ir Mackechnie made au application for the winding-up of this Company, all the provisions of the Act having been carried out and con firmed. Mr James Morpeth had been appointed liquidator.—The order was granted. Home v. Cameron. —Mr Thorne for plaintiff, — This was a judgment debtor summons for £36, which had been standing over for some time.—Mr Thorne said there was a possibility of the claim being met by defendant. He would ask, therefore, that the action be adjourned for a fortnight, in order to allow defendant time to fulfil his promise.—Adjourned until next Court day costs £3 13s.

John Murray v. Sutherland, Smith, and Co.—Claim, £59 9s 6d.—Mr Hesketh for plaintiff, and Mr Ty]erfor defendan.—This action was brought to recover for breach of agreement. The parties, however, mutually agreed to submit the matter to arbitration. —The case was allowed to stand over for a fortnight.

Burtt v. Maxwell and others.—Claim, £50. —This action was brought to recover for breach of agreement in the purchase of the lease of the Western Springs.—Mr Hesketh far plaintiff, and Mr Tyler and Mr Thome for defendants.— James Burtt, of Hobson-street, deposed to seeing defendants in March last in respect of the purcha.se as trustee, for himself and others, of the lease of the Western Springs, for which lie agreed to give £500, and pay down a deposit of £50. (The agreement was put in and read, dated 15th March, to the effect that he was to pay the amount, as above stated, tor the lease of the Springs, with certain rights as granted to them Dy the Mayor and Council of Auckland, on 30th October, 1877 ; aiso agreeing to allow defendant 500 paid up shares in the pro jected Western Springs Company. The document was duly signed.) Plaintiff paid £50, but not the balance of £450, in conse quence of a letter from Mr Maxwell, of date, 30th April, calling plain tiffs atten tion to terms of agreement, and informing him that if the £450 was not paid on the next day the agreement would be considered null and void. Plaintiff wrote to say that he was fully prepared with the money, and as soon as they had performed their part in connection with the City Council he- was ready to complete the purchase according to terms. He never received the £50, and when he spoke to one of the defendants, Mr Stimpson, that gentleman treated the matter ironically, and said it was a bit of sharp practice. He subsequently saw Mr Maxwell and Mr Stimpson in Mr T. L. White's office, and on another occasion he met the three defendants for the purpose of considering an extension of terms. The assignment of the lease was never made to him. He had derived no profit from the transaction, but had suffered loss in expenses beyond the £50 deposit. To Mr Tyler : Had not instructed auyone to prepare an assign ment of the lease. He could not say that he had the hard cash on the' Ist May. Did ask for a month longer by paying a further deposit of £50. Def endaut offered to take a promissory note. There was nothing signed at Mr White's office. Endeavoured to ttoat a company, but could not succeed. Mr White gave one chequefor £25, and he gave the other for £25. Mr White was equally interested. To Mr Hesketh : The reason the company was not floated was .because of an objectionable clause in the lease John Maxwell, butcher, of Victoria-street, one of the defendants, deposed that_ after agreeing to the sale of the lease, he did not go to the City Council, nor take any steps towards completing the contract. He re ceived £50 of Mr Burtt, and placed it to his account in the bank. He did not see the defendants subsequently about the matter. The day after the transaction he placed the business in the hands of his solicitor, Mr Thorne, who had drawn the original lease. This was done by the consent of his co defendants. Wrote the- note to Mr Burtt on his own responsibility, told Mr Garrett and Mr Stimpson, who approved of what he had. done on their behalf.

(BY TEEEGRAPH.)

(From our own Correspondent.)

PEE AEAWATA AT THE BLUFF.I

[By Telegraph.]

MELBOURNE, May 22nd,

THE UNEMPLOYED,

A large meeting of the unemployed was held in Melbourne on Monday. They afterwards waited on Mr Berry, who said that the want of employment was caused by the tactics of capatalists and moneyed men, who were defeated at the hustings. He promised to provide temporary employ ment, trusting afterwards to obtain the sanction of Parliament.

Mr Francis was yesterday elected for Warmanbool by a majority of 111 over Mr J. F. Craig, the Reform League Candidate. CHARGE OF SCUTTLING A SHIP. In a case against Captain King and Batters, mate, of the Alexandra, for an attempt to scuttle the vessel, the jury, after being locked up all night, were unable to agree. The prisoners were discharged. Mr E. Farming's Fancy Free Avon the St. Ledger at the Coursing Meeting of the Victoria Club. MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF AN ACTOR. Mr Bates, the actor, suddenly disappeared on Monday night, and his performance at the Princes Theatre were stopped in consequence. Nothing yet is ascertained to his whereabouts. Business is very dull. SYDNEY. THE NEW LAND BILL. The Governor in his speech proroguing Parliament congratulated the country that the estimated revenue will be fully realised. The New Land Bill, laid on the table, gives additional facilities to selectors, allows families to take up continguous acres with out residence for each, also permits persons in towns to take up selections without

residence conditions, but improvement con ditions. The repairs to the Chimborazo will be completed next month. They will cost £3,000. Adelaide. Howard Clark, editor and principal pro prietor of the " Register," died on Mon day night. His mother was sister to Sir Rowland Hill. Parliament meets on the 31st of May.

The "spirit jjiuediums" sometimes come to grief. A San Francisco paper, under the head of "Materialisation in Earnest " gives the following:—" L. E. Jennings, the Spiritualist, whose materialisations during his stay in this city were the wonder of the credulous, was ex posed at St Louis, on April 2nd. He was forced to undress, after a performance which was unusually successfully. He demurred,, but had to submit. The St Louis Evening Post thus tells the story : Nicely folded around Jenning's waist was a roll of white muslin gauze, wrapped closely to the skin, and in such a manner as not to appear bulky, thus avoiding the suspicion that he had anything concealed under his clothing. As soon as Jennings saw he was exposed, he said, "Well, you have caught me good, and I own up." When the gauze was unrolled 'it was found to be a new piece, about seven feet long and four wide. With it were wrapped two pieces of red mosquito bar, and a small French harp. There Avas also a tinsel gilt band.such as conies as strips on bolts of muslin. In making a clean breast of it, the medium said that the trick con sisted in having these things on him when he was taken to'one side to be examined 0y a committee; while changing pants he man aged to dexterously slip the gau^e from the pair he was pulling off to those he was putting on. If the Committee should desire to examine the pants last put on, he slipped the bundle from his pants under his shirt, in this way baffling the search of the Committee. The spirit girl trick he per formed by simply appearing at the cabinet door, with one end of the gauze so arranged with a piece of red gauze and pendent from his hand as to appear to the eye of the ex cited spectator like the misty form of a girl. It was the second time, he said he had ever been caught, but never before so completely as now.

J. LEVY, although in a sMALL SHOP, has always a LARGE STOCK to Select from, thus giving the public this advantage, namely, the Expenses are small compared with the bisr places, and conducting the Business per sonally, he can afford to SELL AT MUCH LOWER FIGURES than those who pay high rents.
