TllE cable news this afternoon conveys tho comforting intelligence thatestitnates have passed the House of Commons to strengthen the British fleet on tho New Zealand station. The Imperial Government have, no doubt, taken into consideration the long line of coast and number of small ports which the colony has to protect, and which could only be covered by a hoji defence.

A party of young men, filled with aspir ations akin to those of the you^ described by Elihu Burritt, who cliinbad the natural bridge of Virginia, crossed the water yesterday for tiie purpose of reaching the summit of Rangitoto. They commenced tho ascent at 11.10 a.m., and performed tho featin 50min., reaching the top at 12 o'clock. Wc believe tho ascent has nover been achieved in so brief a space of time on any previous occasion. Particulars of Sunday sotviees .ire announced in the U3iial column. The even ing service will bo held at the theatre at the usual hour. Rev. G. B. Munro will preach a special sermon to young men in the even ing at St. Luke's ' Presbyterian Church, Kemuera. Tho Templars of tiie Black Diamond Lod''£' Kawakawa, hold a successful enter tainment on the 17th inst. in tho public hall, for tiie purpose of entertaining settlers ami having a fund for the pureliaao of a new harmonium. Tho local choral society gave their vocal and musical services, and several ladies and gentlemen assisted with their voices. The next nalo of Crown Landa will bo held ou the 30th at tho Crown Lands offico, by Mr D. A. Tole, plans of which may be seen at the office of the Commissioner.

At the Volunteer Review and sham fight at the Thames yesterday thero was a total muster of 3G7, of whom (id were cadets. A sham fight took place at Tararu, the cadets forming the enemy, and keeping up a smart lire from tho rid^e reaching from the gardens to the beach. The enemy having retired, lire was opened witli tho 24 pounders. Advancing aud retiring in echelon of Com panies were also performed with precision. Major Cooper then presented the District prizes and medals to Sergeant James lb,.!nelly, late of the 70th regiment, for services'in India and New Zealand. Tho usual feu de joie was fired, and tho after noon and evening were spent in social con vivialities.

Tbe "Next of Kiu Ga/.otto" for March, gives the following names of persons who are entitled to unclaimed money, or if dead, their representatives :•— Colin Mcintosh, born in Greenock about 1846, emigrated to Australia, aud last heard ot in Auckland in 1870. Frank Thomas, son of Maurico aud Mary Jane Thomas, supposed to be in New Zealand; Dora Wood, born in Hull, and w!n> emigrated to New Zealand about 18G5.

Whatever may be tbe ultimate destina tion of the Lands Court, the Hamilton peo ple are desirous of making tho natives com fortable whilethey are located in tho Town ship. Mr Gwyiino haa erected a marquee, 60ft in length, which is provided with a commodious fireplace, constructed of galvan ised iron. Men were employed during tho whole of Thursday cutting and carting fern. An abundant supply was laid on tho floor, and this covered with straw, rnado comfortable sleeping quarters at night. A huge lire of logs gives a very cheerful aspect to the establishment.

"A. 5.," writing from Epsom, says: " I call on my fellow ratepayers in the dis tricts of Epsom and Mount Eden to remem ber the men that persecuted us about our cows and horses ; Ga 3d a head for cows, and £1 for horses, to run on bare hills and mcky mountains, where a cow or a horso could not fill its belly for a week in nine months out of tho twelve. I am 2S years in the district, and during that time I never heard anything to beat that. It is worse than penal law. The time is coming when those three lads will not expect to be re-elected." At Ellerslie yesterday, after we went to press, Putting the Stone, Vaulting with the Polo, and the Hop, Stop, and Jump, were won by that " Admirable Crichton," T. Joughin ; tho Mile Race by Brown, who beat Whiskor by half-a-dozen yards ; and

tho Ilurdlo Race by Bronnan, who won easily from Huttou and McGinley. On tho whole tho sports were not successful. The attondanco was very poor, and the long delays between some of tho earlier events made the latter one's an hour late. Mr W. W. Robinson officiated as starter, in place of Mr Nolan, and gave j^reat satisfaction by his fairness and impartiality. The judges wore hardly 60 successful, and some dis satisfaction was expressed relative to the decision given in tho 150 yds. final. At tho request of the officers command ing 11.M.5. Sapphire, Major Lusk has granted tbe use of the Rifle Range, Mount Eden, for the rille practice of tho officers and men of the above named ship, Son Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (28th, 29th, and 30th inst.), from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day respectively. Under tho heading " More Encum brances," "FatherofsoineTumhlers" writes: "Sir, —Is every birth we ueo registered an additional misfortune in this happy land of our adoption or not ? It seem.*, to mo a great misfortune, so far as the working man is concerned. " Wanted a warder for Coroinandel hospital, a single man," tho very place suitable for a married man. Again, "Two unencumbered couples for farms wanted." In this city and province it is, and always has been the rule to employ youths and single men at, good wages which enables them so largely to patronise hotels, billiard tables, smoking divans, play houses &c.; whilst many poor families would be glad to have tho half of what tho farmer spends in idleness. To live upon the cold shoulder is held out to tho married man who is in cumbered with what in oarlior days wore ! called olivo branches or blessings, but now a-daya are classified with common lumber. Who can wonder at so many men deserting their wives and children in order to get em ployment. Why is the Agent-General not instructed not to send families to starvo, as nobody will employ them? If they are a drag in the labour market, why docs tho Government not settle tham on land, or give them billets in preference to young spend thrifts? I have cut out some hundreds of such advertisements, which I intend to for ward to tho both Londou and local papers." Our correspondent's complaint is hardly con sistent with itself or with, facts. There are situations hero as elsewhere, no doubt, for which men with children are disqualified, owing usually to a want of accommodation. Rut a " Father's" ownobservationhasshewn him what hardly admits of doubt, that youths and single girls are in good demand, and well-paid. Parents may have a strug gle to maintain their offspring during the years of childhood, but well-trained children have in New Zealand opportuni ties of repaying the obligation that few countries can offer.

The ■* Bruce Herald" is rough on Mr Murray, M. H. R. It says he is drafting a bill imposing a duty on skimmed milk, and that the nature of his own eloquence has suggested the idea. •• What part shall I read, sir ?" asked an unsophisticated witness of the bailiff who handed her the Bible to kiss.

A grand concert and ball took place at Cambridge last evening in honor of the Queen's Birthday and the anniversary of the township.

His Excellency the Governor has received the following despatch from the Secretary of State for the Colonies: —"Downing- street, February 14, 1878. —My Lord,—l have not failed to notico with the greatest satisfaction the accounts which have leached me, chiefly from unofficial sources, of the munificence which has been dis played in ho many of her Majesty's colonial possessions, in contributions which have been made towards the funds for sufferers by the famine in India. Tho liberality which has been shewn in the colonies has, I believe, far exceeded even that evinced on previous occasions, when calls of humanity have made themselves heard throughout the most distant portions of the British Empire; and it has boon peculiarly gratifying, from the spontaneous generosity ef all classes of her Majesty's subjects; and I shall be obliged if you will be so good as to inform mo what have been Lhe actual amounts contributed by the colony under your Government, and to supply me v.t the same time with any information on the subject which you may think to be of interest.—(Signed) M. E. Hicks-Beach."

A private letter gives tho following facts with reference to apeculation in London :— " You talk about your speculations in land, &c, and making Jyour £1500. I will jUBt tell you of a little affair, the accuracy of which I can vouch for. The Corporation of tho City of London own a corner bit of ground, not in the heart of the city, about the size of the Trafalgar Hotel, Nelson. It was let by tender for £2500 a year. The man who got it sold out, and made £2300 clear profit. The person who bought is building premises on it to cost £12,000. 110 sold his luto-oatin tho laud or title to it and the build ing for £29,C00. Tho person who bought sold again for £3;>,000. and tin's person sold again for £58,000, and the building is not half tinisbod yet. Land is always improving in Jvnlno hero, and in fifty years' time it will be Yforth half as much a^ain as it is now." Sir George Grey, we are happy to state, lias completely recruited Ins health after his recent arduous work, and exposure to severe weather in the King Country. The Premier's appearance givc3 promise of a vigorous conduct of the Ministerial business next session.

Tho first of a series of Sunday afternoon discourse:, ou Temperance will bo preached to-morrow afternoon, in the Teniperanco Hall, Albert-street. Wo hope that the members of total abstinence societies and others will attend en rnasi.o, and make tho service a graud success.

Au accident occurred yesterday to Mr Alexander Campbell at East Tamaki, by tho bursting oi liiu fowling-piece, which considerably injured two of the augers of his right hand. Mr Campbell and Mr M. Euiis were out shooting on Fairleigh Farm, when a pheasant started, and Mr Campbell iunnediaiely took aim, when tho accident occurred. The wounded fingers were dressed by a lady in the district, and subsequently by a medical man.

Tho political situation in Europe is thus described by a San Fruncisoo journal:— " England is on the ver-'o of going to war ; delighted Austria lift:, the sword with ono hand and stretches the other for a bribe ; Germany formally deoiarea hsr neutrality ; Franco pats John Bull on the back and snubs Russia unmercifully ; Italy says lit tle, but is ready to act against Tartar ag gression ; and America —sniffs and sneers and thraws nmd-balla against the white cliffs of Albion, and prates about privateer ing. By all means lat us have some privateering I By no means lot us neglect this opportunity to get a few of the crumbs that fail from tho rich man's table ! Lot us boast of our progress, civilization, advancement, aud all the r«~t of it; but let in, if possible, restore to modorn warfare a feature that Ims been rolegated to barbarism by less free and enlightened natious.' What could 1)0 more worthy of a great and glorious republic than to despoil the noncombataut subjects of an effoto monarchy ? But by all means let us turn pirate " undor cover of tho Russian flag," becauso otherwiso tho bom bardment of those towns botweon Maine and Florida may become a leas jocu lar subject than at present. Finally, let us remember that to the country whose pocket we propose to pick, under Tartar protection wo owe whatever nobility of charaoter we may happen to have concoaled soinowhero ; and then, aroused by the memory of this debt, let us go to our privateering with what heart we may, and keep a sharp look-outfor tho cruisers."

In reply to a deputation requesting that the Ohinemuri district may be formed into a separate County, tbe Hon. J. Sheehan pointed out the necessary legal steps to be taken in older to secure that object.

Timber is very d«ar at present, in fact it has just gone up another shilling, and is now 143. 6d. a hundred. The reason of this is that the late rains have not, aa yet, raised the rivers sufficiently to float down the logs.

Mr G. S. Graham will make a tour in the Waikato, iv connection with tbo businoss of the Colonial Insurance Company, prior to his departure for Wellington. We under stand that the Directors of tho Company have decided to place another considerable parcel of shares on the Auckland market, in consequence of tho rapid absorption by bona fide investors of the shares at first alloted, and the demand by tho same class of investors for further shares. Air Graham was hos pitably entertained by his friends at tho Thames yesterday, and received numerous good wishes for his future prosperity aud success in his new undertaking.

Civil Service examinations do not always pass offsmoothly. At one of these, a young gentleman was mildly reprorod for the irregularity of his attandaiicc. His Celtic blood was inflamed, and, turning upon his rebukers, he angrily told them, " Sure if it wasn't for the trillo of salary yo givo, tho diril * bit o' me would come hers ait all I"

"Doar mo, you must have an enormous army in this country !" was the exclamation of Sir William Jervios when he was inter viewed by shoals of ex-military swells, in Melbourne What would Sir William say if ho visited New Zealand !

The Tradesmen's Athletic Club concert and ball was well patronised last evening. The concert comprised songs and dances. Mr O'Haie's song of " We parted by the river side," and song and jig, were well received. Mr Nairn gave two songs' in a highly creditable manner. Mr Davey appeared to advantage, aud was quite at home in his comic element. Mettam Bros, came out successfully with "That lovely little Lome-street belle ; she loves the Mettams very well." Mr Reed was unable to attend, in consequence of a severe cold. The farce, " Rival Othellos," was well played by Messrs Le Mont and Mattison. Tiie yni-es were afterwards presented, and dancing was kept up cheerfully through tho night.

We have received from Mr Tyerman a long letter, in reply to the Rev. S. Edger. The answer should have appeared in this evening's issue, but typographical obstacles compel us to hold it over until Monday.

At mi early hour this morning the fire belis rang out a deafening poal, causing startled citizen?, to jump smartly out of bed, and, regardless of cold, to gaze right and left through their windows. Superin tendent Hughes and hi* mon turned out with their usual alacrity, but before they could get in harness a pioneer returned, and announced that the whole to-do was caused by nothing; more dreadful than a chimney in Gijfey-street. These false alarms are becoming rather too frequent. People have no fight to ring the fire hells unless there is ab&olnte danger.

The foundation stone of the new Town Hall at Dunediu was laid yesterday by the Mayor. Mr Carruthers, late Engineer-in-Chief, having finally resigned that position, at the request of the Govemmuut, has receiveu £1,150, or oue year's salary, m lieu ot notice. , Mr Tyermanwill deliver two lectures o morrow'. In the afternoon he willlecture in tho Lome-street Hall on " Spiritualism, its Uses, Objects, and Teachings." In the evening at 8 o'clock he will deliver a lectin" in the Choral Halloa the question, "Is th< Bible the Word ot God ?;' He will assert, and endeavour to prove, the negative. Mr Tyerman is willing* to answer questions :v the close of each lecture. Wo omitted in our report ol thcJVolantecr Review, in hist night's issue, to notico the very admirablo order kept by the police, under Sub-Inspector Pardy. Mr William Reilley called at our olhcc and made a very bitter complaint relative to his inability to get £2 9_ lOd from the Ponsonby Board for labouring work. The bulk of the money was due. ou the 13th of May, and as a working man is not afflicted with a super-abandance of cash, wo can well believe that the delay has been tho cause of serious hardship to him. VVe havo since received another complaint, tho victim assuring us that his family had to go without bread, in consequence of hia , inability to get the money.

WHILE tho issues of peace and win: hang in the balance, and cable dispatches are chiefly occupied with the dissemination of contradictory opinions derive.! from official, semi-official, and equivocal sources, tho British House of Commons has been engaged in one of those great cou3titul_r_-u.il debates which have at various periods re salted in defining and limiting the power of the Crown. The Marquis of Hartiugton's motion censuring tho action of the Government iv fitting out an Indian expeditionary force for European service does not commend itself as being appropriate to the circumstances of the European situation, nor exactly con sistent with tho action of the Liberal leader when the policy of making war preparations was before parliament. If it was a desirable thing that England should display her military strength- and two motions,the war vote and calling out of reserve.-., leave uo doubt of the opinion of Pfiiiianienr.— then it was surely advisable to remit, r the detnonstftjttion complete ami formidable. In commenting upon the earliest .tunomioc ment of the Bombay Expedition we pointed out (hilt the selection of Indian troops for the first expedition, instead of drawing upon the army corps already mobilised aud prepared for embarkation, must. ha. c been meant by the Government as a direct inti mation of their intention, in the event of war, to draw upon the inexhaustible re-

1 crui.ti.ng ground provided by our Indian Empire. Sir Stafford Northcote, defending the measure, declares this to have bet n tlio ruling uiotive of tiie Cabinet. The order for the Indian Expedition was a declara tion that the resources of the whole Empire would be used by the Govern ment to uphold British interests. The decision was a wise one-—arid, setting aside the meeting at Manchester, where the employment of Indian troops in Europe was condemned as barbarous—opposition is directed less against the character of the measure, than the manner of its execu tion. The author of " Vivian Grey " early disclosed those sentiments in relation to the Sovereign which reached their maturity in the recent titular addition to the English Crown. And perhaps, the free assertion of very strong views upon the Sovereign's distinctive position in tho State, maintained through out a long public life, has contributed to (he suspicion which has been freely expressed in the discussion on Lord Hartingloa's motiou,that if the. expedition was intended as an expression of the Government inten tions in one direction, the concealment from parliament was an indication, of other and less acceptable features of the Conservative creed. The supreme command of the army, and tiie power of making war without consulting Parliament is a prerogative of the Crown, secured under the British Constitution. But, like other adjuncts of the "divine right," the power is' now so hedged by con stitutional precedent that the Parliament and country would be much more astounded at any arbitrary exercise of the prerogative than they are now alarmed at the place it occupies in the Constitution. The action of the Government in refraining from taking Parliament into_ its confidence, although the Indian expedition had long been a part of their military policy, bore too much the appearance of a needless assertion of the military prerogative of the Crown to pass without parliamentary criti cism. The privileges of Parliament have been too dearly purchased to be lightly held, an d if Earl Beuconsfield were prepared to stake the existence of his Government upon the exclusive military privileges of _ the Crown tho division list would be very differ ent from thosowhich havchithci'to endorsed his foreign policy. The Cabinet have, how ever, carefully repudiated the charge of har bouring any sentiments hostile to the rights of Parliament, and rest their defence upon the executive character of the measure. The Chancellor pleaded that the equipment and use of Indian troops was simply a part of the defensive precautions for which Par liament had already voted the money, it can hardly be supposed that this will bo accepted as the true motive of Ministerial

reticence. The Premier's notorious pen chant for disarming opposition by meeting it with accomplished facts leaves little room for speculation on the possible existence of other motives. He is much more confident of parliamentary sanction to his design when its_ reversal involves the existence of the Cabinet, tho rupture of party, and national confusion. TheMarquisof Hsrtingtou no doubt tabled his motion simply as a formal protest, and after the explanations of the Ministry tho motion will probably be withdrawn or rejected without division, and will become the standing record of parlianientarysanction to one of the most important measures of the present century. [Since the above was in typo, a cable message received this afternoon announces that the motion was negatived.] &

[NOTE. —Sublime Porte is the name now given to tho Turkish Government. The term was transferred from the high gate of the Imperial Palace to the Government, whose authority was there exercised. The use amongst Europeans or the French term Stiblimc Porte (lofty gala) i_. accounted for by the fact thai French is the language of European diplomacy. ]

WHY I LOVE HIM.

He asketh why I love him, And I will tell him why, It is not for his ruby lip, Nor for his hazel eye ; 'Tis not for his graceful form, Nor for his auburn hair; And 'tis not for bis smiling face, Though it be passing fair. No, 'tis not for his beauty, Though, to it I'm not blind ; Nor for the goodness of Ins heart, Nor for his gcntlo mind ; 'Tis not for his rosy chock, Nor for his downy chin— It is not these I love him for— I love him for his '" tin." ISOI.A.

PHYSICAL FACULTIES Maurice O Sullivan, hotel !-e<--v, r summoned t;o answer a charge of "nm'i^* Catherine Townshond, alias Burke 3 alcoholic liquor, on the 14th inst. thp^ persons physical faculties bains t^ impaired. '° thea Sub-Inspector Pardy conducted +he <-, a,ud Mr He*keth appeared for defendant* Mr Pardy put m the act of IST] $__)*%. aineiidaisnt, under which the !-* a brought. tt-e Thomas Stapleton, labourer. d 'i>iv..i «. ha saw Catherine Townskenc. cosmopolitan hotel, on the day h. ,■,,,.„,.* She was then drunk. He did __}_ _ tloD' li a ur,r supplied to her. She ~ v _ about an hour, _ lying ou the floor of tS house, li.c police came and tooklieraw-iv 'lo Mr Heaketh : It was twenty minu g after six in the morning ; believed shewn drunk. Ho saw her lying behind the hotS door. *

Annie O'Connor, housemaid in the hoM occasionally served at the bar. She was them that morning ; saw Lie woman in the bat rib! not supply her with any liquor, nor'dii anyone else ; sho was theonlyperson flag Constable Jones came and took the worn away, did not remember telling SeargS Clarke that she served her with rum •he supplied a man with rum at the time.- '

To Mr Heskefch : The man is in (court that had the rum, she did not see the Avomati take any drink at the time; she was clean, ing the bar at the time. Catherine Townshend deposed that she was a storekeeper in Chaneeiy street ici-icmLercd being in the Cosmopolitan Hotel she being drinking very early that morning. had three glasses before tho peep of day a? an hotel near the wharf; she then went to Mi O'Bullivant. and had a slabs of ___ Tin oo glasses were paid for, but old George swigged the other two. °

Geoge Hcsford, described as a " lollie maker," here stepped forward and nodded. Witness supposed she fell down behind the door * she was awfully drunk ; v?oke up [_ tbe station.

To Mr Hesketh : Two glasses of rum would not affect her ; she could stand half, a-dczen (laughter); her head was clear ou the two; generally commenced when on the drink early in the morning. She could always take her dose, and when very drunk over uight, she always wanted a drop by day-break. She knaw the " old ioliie man.'" She did a little in that way. Old George never refused a drop of rum, Sue was a little bit " sprung," and fell off the chair.

Mr Hesketh : What is that ? Witness : "_ Sprung " means " three sheets in the wind." (Laughter.} To Sub-luapector Pardy : I was what yon may call " tol lol," could not get one leg before the other.

Constable Jones and Sergeant Clarke took the woman to tho lock-up. Miss O'Connor made a very different statement to that made in the Court to-day.

Mr Hesketh, in addressing the Court, urged that Mrs Townshend evidently was not in a state to know what actually did take place in the hotel after she went in, and against the woman's statement were the evidence of Mias O'Connor aud the other witnesses.

His Worship mado some remarks upon the offence, which was frequently com mitted by publicans, but it was very seldom that a conviction could be obtaiued. In the present case tho evidence was insufficient, and the case must be dismissed. A MOTHER IN DISTRESS. Joseph Keilly was charged at the instance of Mr Graham, Relieving Officer, with fail-, ing to contribute towards tho support of his mother. '

Defendant did not appear. Mr Graham stated that the old lady wa3 in very poor circumstances, hut as her son was quite aware of the fact, and living at a distance, be should like to give Mm a little more time.

The c_se was adjourned for a few days. A case of a husband failing to provide adequate support for his wife and family, was not called on, as the husband had pre viously made a satisfactory arrangement. This was all the business.

THEATRE ROYAL.

PRODUCTION OF "M'LISS."

Til™, esw American drama, "M'L!s'*,''an adapta tion ot a story bearing tho same •name by Bret Harte, was produced at the Theatre Royal laßt night, an a received -with uproarious delight by' a crowded house. The scene is laid at EODie diggings in Nevada, and the characters intro duced are such a3 oris -would naturally meet at a gold rush. The plot of the piece deals with the schemes aud machinations of a scoundrel, named Walter!*, to get possession of a large English property and rich gold claim, belonging to a heating old drunkard known as Smith, who is watched over and taken care of by his neglected and wildly hrought-up, yet honest and true daughter, M'Liss. This girl is a good singer and dancer, ami the pet o! the diggers: she has also beeu partially taiyrht and looked after by Charles Gray, a >o*.uy sohoolmatiter, whose kindness she reoiproc t*s by loving lam passion ately. In the tli st __c' i.c ttnd Morton, a travel ling showman, who •■ «s beau instigated to the act by Walters, - =._u._,Tcuring 10 pei.uada MT.ioS to join his d -«oatio company, and tempt ing her with fine dr; ««SS. Gray, however, appears on ihe scene, and ;.. -era quarrel with Morton, is set upon by botl 'Mains, and only saved f-Oin death by M'Liss, v.v cuts the wist of one with her knife, and lev * a pistol at the head of the other. Upon this tableau the curtnin falls. In the second act Oil Smith goes to work at his claim, and M'Lisa climbs into tho branches of her favourito tree. Gray enters, and a love some follows, after which Gray aoes into the claim to see Old Smith, who, however, happens to be lying drunk behind; some rocks. Morton now enters, and slipping behind M^iss, gags her. and tios her tightly to the back of her favourite tree. He then proceeds with muoh deliberation to murder Old Smith, af er which ho calls the diggers together and accuses Gray> who at this momont marches innocenntly out o£ tho claim, of tho crime. "Lynch him" is at once tho cry. In an instant a rope is passed round his neck, aud lh- diggers commence to string him up. This, however, is not to be. for M'Liss now makes her appearance in the tree, cuts tho ropo, andories " Hold, you have got the wrong man." This is an excellent situation, and wan enthusiastically applauded by tho audience. In tho third act Walters, fearinc that Gray Will get off, determines to burn and blow up the prison in which ho his conlined. He has already sot lire to it, when M'Liss once more comes to the rescue, and breaking through the roof wita a hat .bet conveys her lover safely across the flame as the explosion takes jplace. Thei fourth1 act is devoted to setting everything straiaht, I and when the curtain falls no one has any j dobut that M'Liss and her husband will *' hve happy ever afterwards." Miss Firmiu's repre sontation of the heroine was. of course, the i feature of the performance. From first to last ahe acted with unflagging energy and vivaßiW The part suited her admirably, and she played it all but perfectly. Of course it is not very Wgn art, but it is clearly v. hat the paopio like. The songs and dances were good of their kind, ana always met with loud applause. Mr Jack a8 Yuba Bill, a stage coach driver, who takes 8 fatherly interest in M'Liss, proved nio3t successful. Every detail of tho character had evidently been carefully studied, and was true to nature as all could see- Mr Steele was an unaffected and natural Charles Gray. The part is not a very taking one, yet he managed to make it pleasantly prominent, and desorvedly shared ttie con stant plaudits lavished on the heroine. M* Musgrave mado a palpable hit in tho part or Smith, indeed we have never seen him to greater advantage, His representation of tho imbecile old drunkard was a really fine piece of character acting, and he deserves great credit for it. Mr Kmmett, as tho Rev. McSnagley, also to use slang expression "scored," and wo have no fault to And with the Walters of Mr Burford, Which was a very fair performances. Misfl May made the most of a small part.and Miss Raymond old what was possible in tho unarateful role or Walters' accomplice. . To-night the drama will bo repeated, and 19 sure to draw a good house.

The value ot coke as a luel, aud as a means of economy ot coal, is not appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of coal and coke, is invaluable for the ordinary purposes of heating, and still more for those of cooking and raising steam, as it absorbs tne smoke or inflammable gases given o2 by coal during combustion, and renders the fire brighter, clearer, and hotter. Every house holder should buy coals and coke at the s-iine time, and, if convenient, mix them ; smaller bills and satisfaction will be the res ''t.
