THEATRE ROYAL.

" STRUCK OIL."

It is a considerable time since we have seen any theatrical performance draw so largely as did the drama of "Struck Oil" at the Theatre Royal on Saturday night. The lower varts of the house were crowded to excess, and the dress circle was patronised by alarge and fashionable assembly- The audience was also enthusiastic in its dembnstrat'onß of approval. 1' The various characters' wero exceedingly well represented, and; the consequence was that the performance ■was'ah unqualifiad success. Mr T. J. Farron impersonated the character of Lizzie Stofel, the Dutch maiden, with a wonderful amount of ability, andJ his "make up" was really astonishing. Mr Farron exercises a rare power of dressing and acting the feminine parts to perfection.1 and his' voice being in perfect unison with'his appearance he makes a by no means unprepossessing female. IMring the even ing he sang several new songs, which were greeted with tremendous applause. Mr P. F. Baker too, as- old John Ptofel was a clever impersonation, and at the same time one which calls, for a great ■ display of wit and hnmour, tender feeling,: and towards the close of aged weakness'and'madness. But Mr Baker was auite-eauaLto-thejrequirements.of the.character,. and his acting was all that could be desired. His singing too was extremely good, both in the " German Fifth," and " Kaiser, do you want to Buy a Dog." Mr J. J. Welsh. who took - the part of Deacon Skinner, certainly made-the most of his part, if, indeed he did not overdraw it. Miss Julia Merton sustained the part of Katurina Stofel very* creditably,s Mr H.Flynn as Dr. Brown, Mr H Jerden as: Sergeant Flynn,' and C. Mortyne as Corporal Sharp, all did exceedingly well, and their acting was much appreciated, and greatly applauded. - ms bvbninGj " Struck Oil" will, be repeated, wr en we would advise all who appreciate such plays not to miss the opportunity of being present. It is certainly one of the best pieces of its kind that has ever been produced in Auckland, and under the able management of Messrs Baker and Farron, it cannot fail to i .-' rat success. The repertoire fa >a? 3 aiJ r JJ "will also be repeated to night.. ,

MADEMOISELLE ALICE CHAR BONNET.

Many are the complaints uttered from time to time by the lovers of high-class amusements, and more especially by con noisseurs of good music as to the inferiority of the entertainments offered for our ac ceptance. The people of Auckland are, as a rule, more ready to support legitimate amusements, and it must be confessed that they are often obliged to swallow this kind of food cum grano sails, and to_ endure pleasure ad nauseam. An opportunity will,, however, shortly present itself which will enable us to enjoy a treat of no ordinary excellence unmixed with any alloy. Mdlle. Alice Charbonnett, the painiste, who is expected by the mail steamer to-night, and will make her first appeal to the public of Auckland in a few days, is heralded to us from various quarters, public and private, as an artiste of rare genius and attainments ; as one who has not been equalled since the days of Arabella Goddard, possessing, in addition, that which appeared wanting in that gifted artiste, the soul's requisite to produce sympathy in her hearers, and to convey to them the true appreciation of the composer, by the true object of' the art of music. Mdlle. Charbonnetia under 20years of age, and is stated to be of very preposses sing appearance, has a lithe and gracefnl figure, and possessing great facial expression. Though of French parentage, Mdlle. Char bonnet is by birth American, having been born in Cincinnati, U.S.A., in October, 1858. M. Charbonnett held a high judicial appointment under the French Government and as his daughterin her very carliast years gave evidence of high musical genius, Mdlle. Alice received the very highest musical _ in- ■ struction from M. Le Couppey, the principal professor of the Paris Conservatoire, and Mdlle. Buchey, renowned as a teacher who prepared pupils for admission into the cele brated French Academy of Music. Some time afterwards her father was appointed Chief Justice of New Caledonia, and sailed thither with his family. Whilst here Mdlle. Charbonnet made many visits to Sydney, when she continued her musical studies from time to time, and enjoyed the friend ship of the most distinguished families of the New South Wales capital. His Excel lency Sir Hercules Robinson, Sir Alfred Stephen, late C. J., Sir William Manning, and other leading officials took the liveliest interest in the young lady'swelfare and pro o-ress, and on one of her visits to Sydney, with Mdlle. Jenny Claus, the charming violinist, Mdlle. Charbonnet, played at several private and public concerts, as an amateur, to the delight of everyone who heard her. About two years ago, M. Charbonnet suffering from ill-health, ob tained leave of absence, and was on the way to' Paris with his family when his malady increased seriously, and he died in Chicago in; July 1875. Mdlle. Charbonnet, with the consent of her mother, then determined to carry o'ut'the idea which had frequently floated in her brain like a vision of making practical use of the talents with which she was giftediandof adopting the musidal pro fession. In Paris she at once placed herself under the guidance of her old teachers, M. Le Couppey and .Madlle. Buchey, who soon prepared her to enter the Conservatoire, and she carried the " entry prize" out of about 190 competitors, Oct 20th, .1876. Her future career was considered to'b e unequivo cal. She made rapid progress and obtained three bronze medals for great proficiency m various branches of the art, in addition to the highest honour the Conservatoire bes tows on its pupils, a' ' billetd'invitation" to play at the Conservatoire concerts; and in theory and harmony she gained the enco miainus of her tutor in this branch, MSavard. Aichan^e of fortune again necessitated the withdrawal of Madame Gharbonnet, she re turned with Mdlle. Alice to New Cale donia, whence they went to Sydney about four months ago. Mademoiselle Charbonnet's concerts formed a series oi the most unqualified successes, calling forth the most enthusiastic praise from Press and public, which was greatly in creased by her kind disposition which prompted her to give several concerts for the Sydney charities and the sufferers in New Caledonia. At her last concert in Svdneyr about-a- fortnight since,-a-very handsome presentation was made to her, nnVI a highly complimentary address was r a e aad to he/ by 4,^ Jennings, Esq., KCY Mdlle. SOharbonnet's exquisite facility of execution1 and delicacy of touch are said to be the most picturesque.colour ine of musical imagery, the result of her practical and vivid imagination, and it is in fxpression that she is said to enthrall the souls of her listeners. She is mistress in .every school ;i the severe! classic of; Beet-, hoven or Hummel, .ike romanesque of Ch'opiny^ the -poetry o£ Mendelssohn,^the: florid but1;; harmonious; ; musical. pictures of Haydn or Weber, and' the brilliant, fanciful^flightsi ,»£ : 'l£ranz- :J Liszt, u itiie; abbe"" bi^music- and' 'religion;; are v.equally, exbeetedV toZarrlve M, Auckland : atiout Tuesday morning- inUthe mail ., steamer uGity S«orkV bdnging^witliher toasas&afr a pharmins:utYOung-,::flopr.ano,'rLyocalißt/;ofrom Md&i- Ch^b^nn^t Mnnteeu ■;; a * gentleman^ thoroughly.: well 5S a journalist and critic, for many SnJ /-ftp press ia New .South ;,Wales,. and .wfoi^tKyW-''Empire,"-and sub- SvieSly- in ; :W^Towu^nd.^ount r y Jouma#^uuder -tha norn de plume;, oi " Biron " made the art of criticism respected by his^mpartiality even by those against whom the shafts from fcbe quivei- had occasionally to levelled.

BANQUET TO MR. JAMES MACKAY AT THE THAMES.

THE inhabitants of,the,Thames ; gave a banquet to Mr James 4 Mackay, on Friday evening last, at the Governor Bowen Hotel. 'Mr Ehrenfried occupied .the chair and Mr C1 F Mitchell, the vice-chair/* Mr Mitchell 1 proposed the first toast^n-^ speechof pottle Ugth, and said that the Hon. John Shee han had fulfilled their every expectation, and had shown himself tobe a man of com mon sense and ability: He then proposed "The Hon. the Premier and members of the Executive Council of New Zealand. The s/eaker also referred tO-M^Macandrewand other members of the ministry. T£e dmii man, Mr Ehrienf ried, proposed the Health or Mr Mackay," and commented upon the service that gentleman had rendeied to* New Zealand, in the various offices which he had filled ;as Native Com missioner, Resident Magistrate, Warden, arid Land Purchase Commissioner; nor could he forget the charitable service of Mrs Mackay. The chairman then read a very pleasing address to the guest of the evening, to which Mr Mackay responded in appropriate term«, stating that when he first visited the Thames in connection with the gold-field, he was struck with the amouk of laud in the distnc , and com pared hi, experiences with remarks in Cork's v J^ges, and found that the great I Severer had expressed an opinion thatTft site of the, Thames was the best place for settlement in the JNorth Island. Mr Mackay referred ta the present depression in the gold-field, but believed that things would impiove, and the district not be dependent upon gold mining alone. He trusted the fine land would be ere long opened to settlers. The proceedingsthrough out were of an interesting character.

EDUCATION.

(To the Editor of the STAR.)

SlK,—I protest agaiust the manner in which you are seeking to misrepresent the actionof a very large number of the inhabitants of this country who are.endeavouring, in a per fectly constitutional way to obtain justice in the matter of education from the Legis lature. Your sub-leader of Saturday is illiberal, unfair, unjust, and inaccurate. No party or person is making any attempt either to overthrow the national system of education, of which you are so much enamoured, or to obtain money for sectarian purposes,' or to infringe theprinciplesof civil arid religious freedom. All snch assertions are simply rhetorical gush, absolutely groundless and preposterous, and you commit a grave imprudence, to say the least, in en deavouring to delude the Auckland people by stating that Mr Curtis's Education Bill has any insidious object in view or tends to attract the State , " into the domain of religion." I regret to notice that your article exhibits traces of undue warmth which is a foe to all calm,and unprejudiced discussion. The Catholics of this colony do not seek to deprive their fellow-citizens of any right or privilege, nor do they wish to destroy the secular schools. What they want is simply that their conscientious convictions shall be respected by the law, and that the principles which they cherish, with an attachment akin to the love of life itself, shall not be outraged without a cause. Woman Catholics prize their aith, and while they reverently re : spect the sincere belief of every other section of the community, they are unprepared to give their sanction to a sys tem of education which has been the source of many baneful evils with which society is at present afflicted, and which they sin cerely believe is calculated to destroy all religion in the hearts of the people. Now, if such an opinion is held by 60,000 of the inhabitants of New Zealand, surely it has a right to be respected, and if it be practi cable to satisfy legitimately the scruples of such a large minority without inflicting any injustice on any other section of the community, I ask all lovers of equality and justice ought they to be superciliously ginored? Our leeistators knew well that Roman Catholics cannot avail them selves of the present Education Act Avithout modificatfon of some sort, and if such modification be refused, we must necessarily feel that we are the victims of an oppression unworthy of this age and country. Sir George Grey and a large party of noble minded men in the House of Representatives feel that however advan tageous the secular system may be from a political point of view, yet that it cannot be made to harmonise with the feelings of all, and is consequenty incapable of universal establishment. Mr Gurtis's Bill simply permits the Government to avail itself of voluntary assistance in the reaching of secular knowledge. It abolishes nothing at present, in existence/ but lends a helping hand to sill: without ex ception, who engage in the great work of instructing and elevating the human mind. Opposition to such provisions appears to me as !senseless as it is unjust.—Yours, etc., Wi J. n.- - ■::.■:.■;,:■ ■ r. ~;,.. /;•■■■ • - i [The subject is referred to in our leading oolumns.^-Ed: E.S.] • ...

To the Editor : Sir,—The action of those, ■wHo'would frustrate the Roman Catholics inltheir attempt to securei. their' educational rights, resembles :that of a person, who, in stead of.giving"a helping hand to a drowning mdn, would plunge him again beneath the water when he reached the • surface. The Roman'Catholicslf onni ua, certain proportion, of! the 'population,: say one-seventh,, they contribute to. the revenues of the country in thfs same proportion,: consequently; they are intitled^ ouei-seventh.. .of..the i Educational Grant. But: their-opponents say :—" Send, your children1 to■ the-secular: schools and; th ereby' get:' the..value of 'your i mo.ney," The Catholics answer :—" The mentabfood provided in:these !i schools would -be detri m^ntal'to the" mental cpiistitutipn .of pur children. It '.roayagree . very, well with, yours. <• Their mental stomachs may not nauseateit. >l'" But ;lt -7/is ;^ not, ..tso, with oursjil' they are-forced to partake of i it- it '-will bring on mental indispo sition and end in deaths Let us suppose the cas.e of seven men working m the same iob. Six of them can luxuriate on a certain kind of food, but the seventh,cannot touch it ! The six agree with a purveyor to supply food for the seven of the kind relished by' the majority. They say to the seventh man, "You must pay your share towards the common fund for procuring this food, albWugh you cannot eat it. We don t care a pin "whether you can or not. If you can't use this food you can fast or procure some thing else, but don't thiuk for a moment that we'll refund you your contribution for the purpose of procuring something else. WeVeagot the money, and we'll stick to it, and you must continue paying your contribu tions. You know we are/ six and "you are only one." What should we say of .the con duct of these six men. jllll; let, my. readers supply the epithets applicable to it. Yet such is the very part played by. those who would force secular, education down the throats of Catholics whether they liked it or not." Their excuse is to ' keep down sec tarianism. Sectarianism, is showing its head in dangerous: shape, and they -have not a word to say against it; The wolf managed to-find an excuse for- devour ing the; lambj and when one failed he found Another. Let them lay aside these hollow " pretences of >i ■ keeping a down .sectarianism, &c; tahd say,:?f. We are : six and you are only one." !tTha|t would be more manly.—Yours,
