COMMERCIAL.

Mr Geo. Sibbin offered only a portion of the North Shore property to-d-ty, having received instructions from Mr Niccolto that effect just before commencing to sell. The other half will be offered at an early date. The house, con taining 11 rooms, with 155 feet fronrage to the beach and 453 feet to other streets, realised £700 Beach frontage at 55s per foot. The small house at back, with allotment, fetched £90 Several good buyers were disappointed at the' property not being offered in ono lot, and others, sat on tho beach frontages, not offered, but who will have an early opportunity ot rurchasing. The two allotments in Nelson street (Mr Bond's), were sold at £190 cash, n Messrs Cochrane and Son offered 58 acres of land to-day, in the pariah of Karanoiahape, but partly owing to the paucity of bidders, and being a holiday, the sale was postponed until next Monday. .

THEATRE ROYAL.

RE-APPEARANCE OF MR AND MRS

GEOKGE DARRELL.

The re-appearance of Mr Darrell and his ■talented wife (who first became popular ■with colonial audiences as Mrs Robert Heir) ■was an event in the theatrical world. Mrs •Darrell is undoubtedly the best lady ex ponent of legitimate drama on the Austra lasian stage, and the applause with which her entry was greeted on Saturday night testified the presence of many admirers. Mr Darrell is also a favourite actor, and re ceived several rounds of applause when he ■ came before the footlights. It also speaks well for the character of the Company gathered by Mr De Lias, that each member was loudly cheered as he came out, Mrs 'Walter Hill, MrJ. B. SteeleandMrMusgrave •being specially favoured. The piece chosen was Mr DarreU's new drama, " Back from the Grave," a play abounding in telling ■situations, without trashy sensationalism •or blood-and-thunder business. The title "Back from the Grave" is not indicative of ■ any ghostly appearance, but turns upon the personation of one who is actually dead. The piece is an exceedingly costly one to amount, and as placed on the stage with new scenic and mechanical effects,, must have ■ entailed heavy expenditure on the manage ment. We never saw a drama with an ■equal amount of heavy stage appliances produced in Auckland more completely or run so entirely without a hitch, and with out any tedious delays. Iv order to under stand the drama, it is necessary to give ■something of the plot. The action takes place in England, partly •in London and partly in the midland town ■of Middlesbro'. The period is the present. The rise of the curtain reveals the •country house of Dudley Rivers, a wealthy "banker, and here assembled under his roof are—His wife, Elinor Rivers (Mrs George Darrell); his niece, Ethel Grey; her gover ness, Irene Refton, an orphan; and Captain Reginald Rivers, nephew to Dudley Rivers. Tony Dibbs and Dolly Derwett are res pectively groom and ladies' maid to the Rivers family, At Middlesbro' also, on a '.flying visit, we find Sydney St. Aubrey (Mr 'George Darrell), author and actor. Ethel is intended tor Reginald, yet loves St. Aubrey, whilst Reginald as perversely dis obeys his uncle's wishes by offering his ad dresses to the penniless governess. Thus matters stand when one Philip Carlton or Ralph Jeffries arrives. In an interview >with Mrs Rivers this man declares him self to be Philip Oarlton, her former ■husband, long supposed dead. He had deserted his wife and son some years before, and as a blackleg and defaulter had absconded from England to Australia. Five years later came the news of his death, and his widow married again. Now he returned, as from the grave. During the scene between husband and wife Carlton bitterly 'reproaches Elinor for marrying Rivers; branding the latter as a sanctimonious •hypocrite, who had first betrayed and abandoned his (Carlton's) only sister, and then ruined and exposed Carlton to their mutual friends and associates. It tran spires that Irene Refton, the governess, is the child of Carlton's sister, her father Dudley Rivers. Shortly afterwards the .youthful loveis are surprised by Dudley Rivers, Avho indignantly orders St. Aubrey to quit his grounds for daiing to address words of love to Ethel; whilst his own •daughter Irene he peremptorily commands to prepare for her departure on the morrow. Elinor Rivers or Carlton dares not betray Tier knowledge of Ireue's parentage, or ■explain the terrible situation she herself is placed in, and the act ends with the ■departure of Irene with St. Aubrey, who lias offered her the shelter of a brother's home. The next scene shows the abduction ■of Ethel Grey by Carlton; his reasons for so doing being to punish Rivers, and compel Elinor Rivers to supply Mm with money to ensure his silence and Ethel's release. St. Aubrey arrives shortly after the abduction, and swears to devote himself to the restitu tion of the woman he loves. The last scene of the act produces a stormy interview be tween Carlton and Elinor, the latter de manding the release of Ethel, otherwise she will brave all and place the police on Carl ton's track. Directly after her departure St Aubrey arrives and confronts Carlton. By mesmeric power he subdues Carlton en tirely to his will, and in a clairvoyant state, lie sees Ethel in her place of imprisonment. St. Aubrey, arousing from the trance, -awakens Carlton from his mesmeric sleep,

and insists on the latter taking him to the plaie where Ethel is imprisoned. Carlton refuses, and the foyo ongage in a deadly struggle. Carlton is about to plunge a knife into his opponent's heart, when Elinor Rivers rushes in and averts the blow avow ing herself to be Carlton's wife and St Aubrey's mother. Thus father, mother j and son knew each other for the first time. In the third act Elinor explains to St.' Aubrey that she had changed his name and concealed his parentage. St. Aubrey re fuses to accept Carlton as his father. He has learnt that Philip Carlton is now the chief of a gang of coiners, who carry on their trade at an old farm-house in the country. The police iutend swooping down upon them, and Carlton and his associates will, if snared, be placed in a felon's dock. At the instigation of his mother, if possible to save Carlton, St. Aubrey joins the gang in disguise; and, in league with the police, endeavours to trap the coiners, letting Carl ton escape. Another motive of St. Aubrey's action is the release of Ethel, who is con fined in an upper chamber of the farm house, of which Carlton carries the key. St. Aubrey, feigning to be drunk, is left in the lower room. The coiners are at work in the cellars, and all is prepared for the advent of the detectives, when a terrific explosion, followed by a rush of flames, sets the entire building on fire. As the coiners emerge they are attacked and over powered by the police. St. Aubrey seixes (Jarlton, wrests from him the key, and saves Ethel. In the last act St. Aubrey, again in a clairvoyant state, presumably witnesses a scene enacted in the Australiarfbush some 20 years prior to the period of the trance. The vision is materialized to the audience as follows : —Three men, attired as diggers, are encamped in the bush. The centre figure is the true Philip Carlton, Kalph Jeffries (the Philip Carlton of the drama), and Dan Ackford, an accomplice of the soi tlisant Philip Carlton. Over the division of their gold a row ensues, and Carlton accusing Jeffries of robbery, a struggle takes place, and Carltonis kille-l by Jeffries. The vision closes, and St. .Aubrey awakens. Imbued with a firm belief in the truth of his clairvoyant impressions, he determines to act thereon. In his absence Elinor Rivers, driven almost to distraction by the weight and shame of the terrible secret she is concealing from her supposed husband, Dudley Rivers, is about to reveal all, when the abrupt arrival of Jeffries complicates matters dice again. Jeffries, now driven to bay, seeks shelter and protection from Elinor, and pecuniary aid to enable him to escape the country. She refuses, Dudley interposes, and Jeffries at last openly avows himself as the husband of Elinor .Rivers. At this critical juncture St. Aubrey arrives with Ackford, and the fraud and imperson ation are exposed. The realisation of the vision is complete. The rest is soon told. Jeff lies is consigned to prison, husband and wife are re-united, Irene finds a father and almsband, St. Aubrey and Ethel are simi larly favoured, and all ends happily. The various characters were ably sus tained by the company. The principal parts are Elinor Rivers (Mrs Darrell), Sydney St. Aubrey (Mr G. Darrell), Ethel Grey (Mrs Walter Hill), Dudley Rivers (Mr Musgrave), Philip Carlton (Mr J. B. Steele), and Captain Reginald Rivers (Mr J. O'Brien). A capital light by-play is also kept up between Tony Tibbs (Mr Emmett). and Dolly (Miss Lily May). Mrs Darrell] it is needless to say, was very successful in the impersonation of the difficult role allotted to her, and she was repeatedly greeted with enthusiastic applause. Her acting was artistic, elegant, and refined. Mr G. Darrell also had a character that suited him, in the exuberant and generous hearted actor, Sydney St. Aubrey; and, with his talented wife, was repeatedly called before the curtain. Space precludes a more detailed notice of the other members of the Company, who . acquitted themselves admirably. The whole representation was one Avell deserving of public support, and the piece should have a successful run. In Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, the drama was an unqualified success. It is announced again for to-night

WEATHER REPORT.

Week Ending Saturday Morning, November 9.

A week of fine, warm, and very pleasant weather, broken by small rain on one afternoon ; wind very fresh, and barometer much lower than in previous week. The barometer was at a maximum height of 31.173 on the evening of Sunday, the 3rd, and fell to 29.835 on the morn ing of Thursday, the 7th. Since then ithasbeen very steady between 29.950 and 29.985. The niean reading for the week is 30.020; this is a little higher than that of the same week of last year (29.989), and higher also than the fourteen years' average for Movember (29.931). In tem perature there was a great and sudden rice, the approximate mean of the week being 61.4; while that of last week was only 5C.8, showing a rise of about 4£ degrees. The warmest day and night were those fot Tuesday, the 5fch, a 72.8 for day, and 61.6 for night. The coolest day was Sunday, the 3rd, (61.2), and the coolest night of the same date (49.6). On Tuesday also the lightest solar radiation was moved from the exposed thermometer, (141.9), and the lowest nisht readings on the grass on the nights of Sunday and Friday the Bth (44.5.) The wind has been entirely from west (3 days) and south-wesD (4 days); generally very fresh—at times strong. 537 miles were registered on the morning ot the 3rd, giving an average of 22£ miles per hour for the 21 hours previous. The general average has been 385 miles per day, or IB per hour over the whole week. This ia rather more than given for the same week of last year, when the average was 13A per hour. The sky has been generally very bright at sunrise, then gathering cloud until about 10 or 11 a.m., with very bright sun during the remainder of the day; cloudy again soon after sunset, and clearing as the night advanced. The one exception was Thursday, the 7th, when a dull and threatening forenoon was followed about 2 p.m. by brisk rain, continuing till sunset. The amount that fell was 0.145 in., about one-seventh of an inch, which is also an entire quantity registered for the week. In the same period of last year tbere were five days of rain, the total quantity re gistered being very nearly one inch.

BOYD'S BRICK AND TILE WORKS.

Perhaps comparatively few are intimately ac quainted with one of tne finest local industries that New Zealand can boast of, viz., that known as the Newton Brick and Tileworka, Geo. Boyd, proprietor. It is almost 18 years since Mr Boyd began his operations. The first aim of the pro prietor was to make bricka for his own use, on account of the inferior quality then being sold in Aucklaud at the enormously high price of £7 to £8 per thousand. Some actually realised iB9 5s per thousand. About two years atter starting, Mr Boyd turned his attention to the manu facture of common field drain pipes. Many farmers, in those days, came and carted away drain pipes to great distances, even as far as Otara. Exactly 11 years ago the Horticultural Show offered a prize to anyone who would pro duce a substitute for a flower pot. Mr Boyd ac cepted the challenge, and not' only sent a substi tute, but manufactured the real thing itself, and gained the prize. At first the sale of the wares was very limited, but the demand became greater and greater year by year. It may give some idea of the number of flower pots which are constantly turned out. when it is stated that 2.000 arejmade every week, varying in size from 1} to 2-1 inches in diameter. It is only lately that the proprietor has turned his atten tion to the production of fancy goods. To the visitor over the works, the fancy articles meat him at every turn. In vases, which are a marvel in" style and finish, there are about seven distinct kinds, and each sort seems to astonish the beholder as to the rich design and adorn ment. Again may be seen what is known as Rustic Stumps, to be placed in garden walks. These look the picture of nature herself. Then there are hanging baskets, rustic garden chairs, Mignonette boxee, fern pans, Italian (deep and shallow) flower baskets, and a host of other attractive niceties, which are the product and skill of Mr Boyd's ingenious mind; all prepared in Terra Cotta, and made by young men who have learned the trade on the premises. Further on in the works, carefully packed away, there is to be teen another phase in the manufacture, viz., a large collection of bread pans, butter crocks, cream pans, milk dishes, and pickle jars. -Also a large supply of glazed sanitary pipes o£ all dimensions, from 3 to 24 inches; besides an endless supply of sinks and traps of the neweßt and most approved English designs. There have recently been some English tourists, who made an inspection of the whole manu factory, and all declare that they have rarely met with, a more unique establish ment in their travels. It is perhaps not known that Mr Boyd can sell 50 per cent, cheaper than they can in Dunedin. The next department to be shown is what is called his fire-clay industry, which was only begun 15 months ago.. In this department the owner has had to compete with the English article, but wherever Mr Boyd's fire-bricks have gone they have given satisfaction. Mr Boyd supplies the Auckland Gas Works, Sulphur Works, the Auckland and Thames foundries. These establishments have put to the test the fire-clay, and pronounced in its favour and durability; and after severe tests they have

surpassed the famed Stourbridge fire-bricks Isot only are fire-bricks produced, but hobs, hearths, door-steps, window-sills, bakers' furjiaces, blocks, kitchen sinks, flue covers dampers, and gas retorts, &c, &c. Mr Boyd specially thanks Mr W. .-wanson, M.H.K., for his efforts in Parliament to get the railway freight reduced to the sspje rate as is charged for native coals. The last industry to mention is what is called puzzolana, or ground scoria ash, which is sold as sand. This article is daily garaingfttvour. The ground enclosed oooupies 10 acres, but only about 5 acres are as yet used, lhere are almost 700 feet of sheading, 2 brick making machines, 3 pipe machines, and cmsh lng machines, all driven by Bteam-power. Mr Boyd is very obliging, and will show over the place any who wish to see for themselves. It is hoped that such large outlay and enterprise will be fully repaid.

THE CITY OF AUCKLAND.

BAD BEHAVIOUR OF THE IMMI-

GRANTS,

Me H. J. H. Eliot, who went to the wreck of the City of Auckland to take charge of the immigrants, has reported to the Government on the matter as follows : Fortunately, the few sick persons that were on board the City of Auckland and a dangerous lunatic reached the steamer before dark. The majority of the immi grants had to remain on tbe beach until daylight, as about 9 o'clock p.m. it became too rough, owing to the change of thu tide, to go on with the boaiiug. Work was resumed before daylight next morning, and by 8 o'clock all had safely reached the

fteamer, excepting 33 men and 11 women. These numbers would have been much less had it not been for the insubordinate conduct of a number of the single men, who completely rushed ono of the boats, which nearly swamped, and had to be beached at no little risk to

their lives. When Captain Fairehild found that the boatiughad ceased hesteamed away after blowing the whistle two or three times. This is to be regretted, as had he remained about four hours until the tide turned, all the people, could have reached

:he steamer. From the moment the steamer

left I was beset with difficulties on all sides. There were neaily sixty people left upon an open beach, all of whom were more or less wet, all haviug been exposed in the open air the whole night without anything to eat. Fortunately Mr Thomas Gilbert, a settler, who lives about two miles down the coast, came to me while the immigrants were embarking, and expressed his regret that he was not aware that we were on the beach during the night, otherwise, he Avould have endeavoured to accommodate the people in his wool-shed and stable, and it was to this kindly-disposed person I had to go in my difficulty, lie at once' expressed his willingness to take all tbe people to his house and do what he could for them, but unfortunately his cooking accommodation was limited, and his stock of provisions small. However, he set to work with a will, and at 6 o'clock-in the evening, when I started, the immigrantsAvere allpartaking of a hearty meal. The immigrants left Mr Gilbert's on Satur day morning to meet the conveyances which had been sent for to Wellington, which in stead of proceeding to where the people were, remained at Paikakariki, some nine miles distant.

At the Paikakariki I had a great deal of trouble with a number of the single men, who refused to walk any farther, and de manded that I should find accommodation for them at the wayside public-house. Not only did these men refuse to proceed them selves, but they declined to let those who were willing to walk do so,§ and a band of about 10 or 12 of them completely took pos session of the road. Their conduct was so riotous that I found it necessary to take proceedings against two of the ring-leaders, who were this morning brought before the Resident Magistrate, and sentenced to 7 days' imprisonment with hard labour. This brings me to the character and des cription of the immigrants, and after making allowances for the unfortunate circumstances under which I saw them, I must say that as a whole I was not favourably impressed with their appearance. Amongst the married people I observed several who were old and physically weak, and who ap peared to be quite unfitted for colonial life. The 96 single men were all strongand healthy, but there appeared to be a large number of undesirable characters amongst them, they being selfish, sullen, and evinc ing a strong desire for intoxicating liquors. Of course, it must be understood that I am not condemning the whole of the single men, but I maintain that the Colony will be in no way benefitted by a large pro portion of them. On the other hand lam pleased to state that the single women were cheerful and contented, and contrasted very favourably with the men.

GIRLS' TRAINING AND HIGH SCHOOL.

This excellent school, established by the Board of Education, is situated in Upper Queen-street, and is used almost entirely for school purposes, as the head-tuaster. Mr Neil Heath, and Mrs Heath, have not sufficient household accommo dation, being literally confined to a one-room apartment. Mr Heath is a gentleman well adapted to the refponsible work of teaching, being a scholar aDd linguist; and having been trained in some of the best schools in England. The arrangements for the comfort of boarders and the system of educating young ladies are, in every respect, worthy of emulation ; and the daughters of many of our leading citizens are receiving their education in the lower and upper schools, for their are two classes of schools; the lower divided into three forms for the study of the elements of a sound useful education in those branches which mako women intelligent, serviceable, and even accomplished in speak ing, writing, French, sewing, and singing. Mrs Heath, as the lady superintendent, is most assiduous in her attentions in tbe boarding department. The school possesses a talented staff of efficient teachers in the musical and singing departments. The system of teaching adopted by Mr Heath is not so much by books as by the exercise and play of the faculties. The pupil is not subjected to mere book-knowledge by rote, but is taught more to rely upon her own ideas of things, and to form an independent opinion, apart from printed authorities. At present there are 175 pupils in the school in regular attendance, and about 40 have entered the upper school, with the view of compet ing for University scholarships. The brief essays set are all done in the school, in order that pupils may do their own work without being assisted by parents at home in such com positions, as is too frequently the case. The cur riculum of instruction furnishes a complete index to the various studies in both schools, and will give parents a good general knowledge Of the six successive forms, embracing ordinary classical, and artistic studies. The drawing and sketching department is under the care of Mr Watkins, the artist. The syllabus of terms, and general guide to parents and guardians, with every necessary particular, may be had of the Secretary of the Board of Education.

HAMILTON BAZAAR.

The ladies ot Hamilton, who form the bazaar committee, are working most dilligently at "Bees," to provide an elegant assortment of goods for the forthcoming bazaar; which is likely to be afgreat success, as the whole of the community are deeply interested therein. ■ £150 of the proceeds of the bazaar are to be devoted towards the building of the proposed new Hamilton Public Hall, a site for which, together with £100, were obtained by Mr P. Whitaker during his late stay in Wellington. The bazaar is the result of the exertions of the Church people, who had shown a laud able desire to have a new Sunday-school; and in return for the handsome contribution to be given from the bazaar funds to the hall^tne church is to have secured to it the use of the hall for Sunday-school purposes, also the use of the hall one night weekly for church and school purposes. Out of the sum realised over and above £150, £25 is to be applied to the purchase of books for the Sunday-school library, the remaining amount to be devoted to general church pur poses. In addition to the before-mentioned assistance towards the building of the hall; eight gentlemen hare promised £20 eaoh • others also have promised various amounts. Masy handsome gifts have been promised to the bazaar by Auckland friends, who are requested to forward them without delays in order that the committee may know what stall accommodation is required. Mrs Gwynne, treasurer to the Ladies Com mittee, will be happy to receive any con tributions towards the worthy objects already narrated.
