LEVY'S GRAND CONCERTS.— THEATRE ROYAL.

The first of these concerts was given last evening in the Theatre Royal. The attendance was not so large as we had expected, at least in the dress-circle; but the stalls and pit-were well filled, and the verdict of the audience was unmistakeably demonstrated by the frequent and spontaneous bursts of ap plause wfth which the performances (especially those of the great cornet-player) were gieeted. We have already, from time to time, given our readers extracts from the notices of Levy's performances in other places, so that it would be superfluous to do more than repeat our conviction that he is the greatest cornet-player ever known, and one of the wonders of the age. The selection " Alexis," with which he began last night, was ;one specially fitted to test the artist's powers in regard to volume of sound, compass, and execution. He pro duced shakes and' trills gradually and alternately ores, and dim in a marvellous manner; and the closiug cadence was prolonged to a miraculous extent. A rapturous encore brought the performer back to the stage, this time to delight the audience with a most exquisite rendering of the "Last Rose of Summer." The p.p. notes produced by Levy are even more Avonderful than the fortissimo, aud the facility with which (without respiration) he ■changes from soft to loud, and from loud to soft, is, to our mind, the leading feature in his performance. The Scotch air "Auld Robin Gray" was given with just a sufficient tinge of pathos, and the variations of " Yankee Doodle" were as laughable as they were wonderful. The other pieces performed by Levy were a waltz of his own composition (and quite equal to the average ■of waltzes) and " Auld Lang Syne " —the latter with such marked emphasis that the audience were impelled to beat time with their feet, but the performer soon out distanced them by a rapid anelerando. Of the remaining portion of the concert it would be meagre praise to say that the audience listened with keen attention and enjoyment to no less than five pieces before?* Levy's first appearance. Mrs Levy (soprano) sang several songs in a very pleasing manner, particularly one (in answer to an encore), entitled, " Bread and Cheese and Kisses." Her voice is clear, sweet, and true, and not lacking in power. Miss Pitts (contralto) produced a' favourable impression, and received a well-deserved encore for her rendering of the descriptive song by Mattei, "Oh hear the wild winds blow." S. Rosnati is such an old favourite with Auckland audiences, that it is almost unnecessary to introduce him. He was quite equal to himself last night, and was compelled to concede an encore upoi. every appearance. The concerted pieces, particularly the trio at the close of the first part, were admirably given. S. Giorza, the pianist, is the most ar-com lished gentlemen performer, both as au accompanist and as a soloist, that has ever visited Auckland. He plays in a style peculiarly his own. His fantasia on the air" "I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls" was executed with remarkable taste and brilliancy, and was warmly encored. Altogether the concert was excellently arranged, the pro gramme not too long, and everything was in good taste. To-night there will be a change of programme.

ONEHUNGA SPRINGS.

Now that the City has providad public abattoirs in every respect suitable forjthejpur pose, the Government contemplate closing the den at Newmarket. In view of this intention a proposal has been made to use on a more extensive scale Young's old Slaughterhouse near St. John's Lake. As it is stated that the drainage from this site is carried with the underflow from the lake direct to the Onehunga springs, upon which that borough is entirely dependant for its water supply, the following correspondence has passed on the subject:— " Town Clerk's Office. " Auckland, 19th January, 1878. To His Worship the Mayor and Councillors of Onehunga. Gentlemen, I consider it my dnty to forward for your information a co.y of a letter I have received about your Water Supply, and as I notice you are about to undertake works in con nection with a supply for shipping, I lose no time in bringing so important a matter under your notice, believing that a pure and abun dant Water Service is of the first importance to' any community. I am. etc., __ ' _, , (Signed) P. A. Philips, Town Clerk. (For the Mayor.) [Extract from a letter from Dr. Purchas, M.D.] " I have no hesitation in expressing my certain conviction that all dra'nage from the slaughter house, known as Young's," on the Panmure Road must, of necessity, find its way into the Onehunga Springs, therefore I believe it would be a public calamity if that site should be selected for a Public SUughter-house instead of that now in use at Newmarket. I cannot believe that the authorities would permit such a whole sale poisioning of the Water Supply, and should imagine that the inhabitants of Onehunga would have a right to protection against such a (Signed) A. G. Purchas.

THE OLD BRACK STRAP.

Yo 17 ask me why I look so sad, Why teara bedew my cheek, Tis thinking of my poor old dad, That makes me sad and weak. Why grieve ? you cry. for those no more; Oh friend it was my hap, To find this day behind the door, My father's old black strap. I took it down with reverent hand And gazed upon it long, While mem'ry waved her potent wand, And I again was young. And 1 seemed to feel the blow And hear the . ounding slap. Again the tears began to flow At sight of father's strap. And as I gaze around this room, Old faces reappear, I grasp again the carpet broom, While brother shakes with fear. I see my mother sitting down, With brother in her lap, And see my father with a frown Take down the old black strap. Among the treasures of the past, This strap shall have a place. Most valued tho' it is the last- Why friend that smiling face? You little know affection's power, My heart's string round it wrap, m cherish till my latest hour My father's old black strap. T.S., Onehunga.

"BOLD" FELLOWS.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,- -I notice in this morning's " Herald " a letter, evidently manufactured in the office, after the appearance of mine last night. Therefrom I cull the following sentence : " Every honest, right-minded man, will approve of the hold, straight forward leader in to-day's . ' Herald.'" A "bold." a straightforward thing, truly, to heap unproved charges on an unhappy man in prison—accusations referring to matters which, according to the "Herald," have been well-known for S years, and yet that journal dare not publish them until the unfortunate man is unable to defend himself, and has no more favours to bestow. I would refer the readers of the "Herald" to the para graphs in that journal at the time of Mr Meyer's election to the Harbour Board,and they will then be able to appreciate better the " bold and straightforward " action of that very " bold and straightforward" print. While thoroughly convinced of the justice of the penalty, which Mr Meyers is now paying, I cannot stand-by in silence and see those who, a few months ago, were among the most blatant of his professed friends, now gloating over and brutally aggravating his misfortunes. —Yours, etc., Anti-Sycophant.

PAPAL INFALLIBILITY.

(To the Editor of the Stak.) Sir,—ln your report this evening of Dr Somer ville's lecture, he is represented as saying that " the supremacy of the Divine oracles had been set at nought by the dogma of infallibility of a sinful man." Dr Somerville's question would very likely be: How can a sinful man be in fallible? In answ.r to that I shall ask another question. How is it that the prophet Balaam blessed instead of cursed the Israehtes. although he came forth with the full determination of cursing them? The same omnipotent power, I answer, will prevent the head of the Catholic church from leadincr his church astray even if he were ever so much inclined to do so. God himself has promised that He shall keep His church from error, and it is not for us to inquire how he can accomplish such a thing, even though He employs a""sinful man " as His vicar. Had Dr Somerville lived before the time of Balaam, I am sure he would be as incredulous with regard to hi 3 inability to curse the Israel ites (because he was a " sinful man." and there fore at liberty to curse as much as be liked) as he is now with regard to the Pope's inability to lead his church astray.—Yours, &c. A Catho lic Layman. •

The Cape War.

In explanation of late cablegrams announc ing a more serious phase of the Kaffir war, we clip the following from the " Cape Standard " :—The position of affairs on the eastern frontier of the colony was very far from satisfactory. In Galekaland the work of disarming Kreli's people was going on, but grave fears were felt that an outbreak in British Kaffraria was imminent. Soon after the commencement of the late out break two subordinate chiefs, Mapassa and M'Kinnon, who had previously been subject to Kreli, were allowed to come into the colony with their cattle. On the conclusion of hostilities these men, who are believed to have taken an active part in fomenting the outbreak were ordered to pay certain fines in cattle and guns, and to return across the Kei. This order they refused to obey, and M'Kinnon marched with his armed men into the Gaika country. A small force of the police was sent to prevent their escape, and a brush took place, in which four of the Kaffirs are said to have been shot. The police did not follow up the pursuit, but subsequently 120 men and two guns were despatched from King William's Town to streng then the garrison at Draaiboscbi These movements appear to -have alarmed theGaikas, and they mustered in lar^e num bers, and said they "were quite ready, and could fightifthe Governmentattackedthem. Subsequently Mr Chalmers, the lateresident magistrate of Craddock had an interview with M'Kinnon, which terminated in a satisfac tory manner. Mapassa's people are being dis armed and sent across the Kei. Experienced men admit that the position of affairs is very critical, and that it is impossible to foresee what turn events will take. With regard to Kren, his Excellency the Governor and High Commissioner has issued a pro clamation detailing the causes which led to the intervention of the Government, and ottering a pardon to those Galekas who, not being chiefs or head men, submit them selves to the Brittsh magistrates. The '.' Cape Argus " speaks hopefully of a speedy settlement of the disturbances.

This is much more apparent where our local coals are ■used; indeed, owing to the rapidity of burning, some of these threaten to go out of consumption altogether. Coke supphes •exactly that which these coals lack—body •and resistance. Every householder should buy coals and coke at the same time, and, it •convenient, mix them ; smaller bills and greiter satisfaction will be the result lhe price of coke is advertised elsewhere— .[ADVT.]
