THEATRE ROYAL.

"OUR BOYS."

THE comedy of " Our Boys" was repeated list night and proved quite as successful as on the previous evening. The house was well filled, and the audience enthusiastic. Mr Jack as Perkyn Middlewick, Miss Firmin as Mary Melrose, aud Mr Steele as Charlie Middlewick, were constantly and deservedly applauded. The piece has not 7,ppn better played on the Auckland stage. FUTURE ARRANGEMENTS. To-night, Wilk.fi Collin's thrilling drama, the " New Magdalen" will be rep sated, with jfr Jack and Miss Firmin in their favourite parts; and to-morrow we are to be treated to the late Lord Lytton's famous play, " The Lady of Lyons." Miss Firmin will, of» course, be a charming Pauline, and Mr Jack a first-rate General Damas. Mr Steele has a famous opportunity, and we hope may make a hit in the character of Claude Melnotte, a part which is frequently played by big guns, like Barry Sullivan, &c. The "Teat event of the season is, however, to take place on Friday evening, when an entirely new aud original American drama _y Bret Harte, which bears the somewhat extraordinary title of " M'Liss," is to be pro duced. To-morrow we hope to be able gto give a sketch of the plot.

New Zealand Independent.—The Direc tors having sufficient funds in hand with out making a call, they have determined to start operations at once. Titian^a. —Thepromoters shares are being rapidly taken up, and the formation of the ComDany will eventuate in the course of a few days.

Cure.—The manager obtained lOlbs of specimens and 201bs of picked stone from Gihnour's leader this morning, when the breaking down took place. There is a really good show of gold left in the face ; and as only 15 feet requires to be driven to reach the junction with Morrison's leader, it is probable good gold will be carried tho whole of that distance, with a rich deposit at point of junction, as both leaders carry first-class stone.

SIR JOHN COODE,

Sir, John Coode arrived in the Hlnemoa yesterday. He thoroughly sounded the Narrows and other parts of the harbour. He was received by Mr Edgecumbe, Chairman of the Town Board, Mr Jordan, and Cap tain Turner, District Engineer. The Hinemoa left for the Kawau, en route to Graiia'mstowu, at nine last night. The courtesy of the Premier in causing the programme of Sir John Coode's tour to be altered, so as to enable him to inspect the Tauranga harbour, caused much satis faction.

Suez Mail News.

[PER ALBION AT THE BLUFF.]

[PER PRESS AGENCY.]

[By Telegraph.]

HOKITIKA, this day. The mail news is to April 12th An assistant Under-Secretary of State for Scotch business is to be appointed. Mr Alcourt (a Conservative) has been re turned for Manchester, against Sir' Francis Scott (Liberal). The Comus, the first of six steel corvettes for the navy, was launched at Glasgow on the 3rd, and is a very powerful vessel.- , Sir Allison has taken charge of the Intelligence Department of the Horse Guards. ■

Mr William Thos. Chaliu, M.P.; has been chosen Common Sergeant for the city of London. There were seventeen candi dates, including amongst several other members of Parliament, Mr Bourke/Under- Secretary for Foreign Office. Questions have been asked in port on several occasions relative to execution of the Tanna native on board H.M.S. Beagle. The invariable reply is that the Admiralty is awaiting further information. Canadian militia forces are offering their services in large numbers to the British Government. About three thousand pounds has already been subscribed for the relatives of those drowned in the Eurydice. At the inquiry held, the masters of several vessels which were in the Channel on the same afternoon that the frigate was lost, state that the squall came on suddenly, and that it could not have been perceived from the vesssl so close to the high cliffs of the Isle of Wight, East of Ventnor. A grant of public money will be made to the families of the deceased, as in the case of the captain. A serious riot occurred at the Liverpool Sailors' Home on the 2nd. The origin of it was owing to dulness of trade. Many black sailors were in the port, and could not get employment. As a number of whites were being shipped, the blacks, 200 strong, attacked them, and the riot was only ended by the arrival of a large body of police. Many of the seamen were severely in jured. ' *; Out of 15 election* in France on the Ist inst., fourteen Republicans were elected. A fresh ballot is necessary in the other instance. An article, contributed by Prince Jerome Napolean, to the ".Revue Dcs Deux Moa des," has created much sensation. It attri butes the isolation of France in 1870 and IS7I to clericalism, and asserts that had it not been for the rapid advance of the Prus sians and the persistent refusal- of the Emperor, prompted by the clerical party, to evacuate Rome, both Austria and Italy would have consented to aid France. The Nicaraguan Government have ac cepted the conditions imposed by Germany for the insult offered to the German Consul. A German squadron was sent to San Juan to enforce them.

SUPPOSED CASE OF DROWNING.

A RUMOUR is current in the city, and it appears not without foundation, that two Waiheke natives have been drowned between this harbour and Waiheke. The only iufonnation that we can obtain w that two Maoris belonging to Waiheke left the harbour on Thursday last for their settle ment, but hare not since been seen.or heard of. . A strong breeze was blowing on Thursday, and *» the boat was only a small one, and not by any means safe, it is hot improbable that'she was capsized, and natives drowned. We understand that the natives at Waiheke are searching for some trace of the missing men, and we think that

the circumstances of tbe case are sufficient to warrant the authorities in sending the police boat to make enquiries regarding the mysterious disappearance.

MAKETU TELEGRAPHIC CON FERENCE.

The Hon. the Native Minister resumed the telegraphic conference this morning. Te Pokiha Pnkuatua sent a long telegram urging Mr Sheehan to come to Maketu to appoint a judge over tiie district. Mr Sheehan sent the following telegram to Judges . Heale and Halse, at Maketu :— " You may read this message to the •natives if you think it desirable to do so. I regret to hear that some disturbance took place in the Court yesterday,not occasioned by discussion of the merits of the case before the Court, but being an attempt by means of noises to prevent the business of the Court going on. lam the moro sorry for this, because the Arawa people have from the first been loyal to the Queen'and Government, and obedient to the law. I can only talk with you and work with you so long as the business of the Court is allowed to proceed peacefully, because if attempts are made by force or disturbance to interfere with the proceedings of the Court, I am bound to assist the judges in maintaining peace and good order, and it is my firm determination to do so, but I am confident that the loyalty and good sense of the Arawa people, will render any inter ference on my part unnecessary.—J. Sheehan."

ARRIVAL OF SIR JOHN COODE.

The Hinemoa, with Sir John Coode, arrived at the Kawau from Tauranga this morning. She is to proceed to Grahams town before coming up here. As Sir John Coode does not leave for San Francisco on Tuesday next, he will have sufficient time to inspect the harbour of Auckland.

BLASPHEMY.

(To the Editor of the Star.) Sib,—As, in British law, the public characteris ing of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the World, as an impostor, &c , constitutes blas phemy, are not persons guilty of such dariiia utterances, by lectures or otherwise, amenable to prosecution for their conduct? A few years ago a rami named Jones was sentenced to three years' imprisonment at Paramatta, near Sydney, for blasphemy Be so good as to append your editorial opinion on the subject to this letter — I am, &c, Obseuvkk.—[The offence I* no doubt punishable at common law, but. it is seldom wise to suppress, by penal enactments, any expres sion of opinion. Christianity requires aio such bulwark for ity protection, least of all is it likely to suffer from those coarse, licentious, and rib bald jibes and sneers, which, with shallow or vulgar minds, occupy the place held sacred by the thinker and philosopher to reason and fair controversy.—Ed.

The Fatal Coach Accident.

A Passenger's Statement.

(BY TELEGRAPH),

(From Our Own Correspondent)

DUNEDIN, this day. The following further particulars of the coach accident are from a passenger :—" As the coach was coming down the Hampden side of the Horse Range, the driver and owner, W. Goddard, lost all control over the horses, it is thought through the ring bolt coming out. The horses bolted down with the fore part of the coach, leaving the body of tho vehicle behind, which swayed and tumbled down a precipice, which at this point is some 200 feet high; but its progress was arrested, after gofng some dis tance, «by a wire fence. The coach turned over several times, and the passengers were thrown out in all directions, only a few escaping injury.. Mr Nicholls was picked up insensible, and expired shortly afterwards, from supposed internal injuries. Blood was flowing freely from liis mouth. Mr. Maitland, 'son of the Commissioner of Waste Lands, who was proceeding to school at Christchurch, was frightfully, injured. Be is suffering from concussion of the brain, and flesh on one of his sides and ribs to the hip is torn in a frightful man ner. Amongst' the others who were more or less injured were Mr McNichol, hotel keeper, Dunedin ; Mr Hunter, of Welling ton ; Mr Bishop, of the "Sun" newspaper, Christchurch ; Culliehill, of Melbourne ; J. Cameron, ot Timaru; Master Valpy, of Dunedin; Francis Fulton, of Dunedin ; and Goddard, the driver, and several others received slight injuries, only one or two of the passengers escaping unhurt.
