THEATRE ROYAL.—"HAMLET."

The now dramatic season was successfully inaugurated at the Theatre Royal ou Satur day evening. The audience was large and appreciative. Mr Fairclough must be com plimented upon his professional shrewdness in announcing such a bill as " Hamlet " for the opening night, for the melancholy Prince of Denmark is not only the favourite study of the British play-goer, but the impersonation of the part is also the crucial test of an actor's ability. The gentleman had acquired some repute for his performances here many y oars _ ago, aud the public coulider.ee in him was justi fied by the readiness with which he essayed the arduous idle under notice. The result serves but to confirm the preconceived opinion entertained of him. Possessed of a lithe and well-proportioned figure, endowed by nature with expressive fea tures, and gifted with a trained and orotund voice, he has especial qualifications for the histiionic art, and when he unites with them a dignified car riage, a scholarly appreciation of the text of his part aud a studied attention to "stage business," the eilect cannot fail to be pleasing. That effect Mr Fairclough suc ceeded in producing. It is evident that he has critically analysed the tragedy, for the ideal which he succeeds in elaborating is thoroughly intelligible, as well as con sistent iv detail, while the rendering of several leading passages betrays undoubted originality of perception. His reading of the blank verse is an elocutionary treat, for with the aid of a well-controlled aud nicely modulated votes, he displays to advantage the graceful measure o£ the lines aud brings out into unmistakable prominence the varying and occasionally subtle nuances of meaning, which are used. He accepts, too, and adopts a few of the verbal alteratious which modern research has advanced as the real language employed by Shakespeare, and whicli the original printer must have blundered over ; but he rejects others. Thus in the altar cation with Laertes at the funeral ot Ophelia he renders the memorable couplet :—

.Lot Hercule3 himself do what he m^y, Tho cat wi'l mow, trio dog willliavehia6«!/. while in many current and iv all the older editions of the play, the italicised word appears as " day." On the contrary, he retains the well-remembered phrase, "sea of troubles," in the famous soliloquy, despite the growing favour with which " siege of troubles" is regarded, as au advisable emendation. These, however, are points with regard to which critics have not yet arrived at a perfect concord of opinion, although there is a decided inclina tion towards the adoption of these textual iuuovatioas. In some ot the actor's gestures —particularly in those expressive of sur prise, there is a certain departure from the natural, which at once arrest 3 the attention. The convulsive thrill of astonishment, for instance, with which he first perceives his father's ghost, seems to be merely simulated as the result of an afterthought, and conse qiiently lose 3 somewhat of its intended eilect. It must b3 confessed, however, that otherwise Mr Fairclough is very elleqtive in this department of elocution, and reference need ouly be made to the death scene for a vindication of the truth of the statement. It was realistic to a degree, and with mournful solemnity the tragedy closed. The illusion thus art fully created, however, was immediately dispelled, for in response to to the applause of the audience the curtain was agaiu raised, when Hamlet rose from the iloor with perfect composure aud bowed his ac knowledgements. If this is a custom, it is one certaiuly that we hope to see more honoured in the breach than in the observ auce. Tosum up— Mr Fairclough's " Ham let " is not the frenzied, morose, hypochon driacthat lias too often been presented to the public as thobard's conception,but a thought ful prince, stimulated to the execution of a just revenge by supernatural visitations and a-i grief-stricken by the enormity of the crime of which his uncle has beeu guilty, as he is nerved to decision by tho weight oE the stem responsibility imposed upon him The actor's declamation is admirable, and his reading learned and artistic. We are disposed to tbiuk that the monologue "To boor not to be" was recited a trifle too hurriedly, but for all that its beauties of thought were fully brought out. The sup port given to the principal was only fair, and certainly uot strong. Mr Stcolc's Ghost and.Player King were the best of the subordinate parts, though even with them there was fault to be found. Mr Byers assumed the io!e of King Claudius, and Miss Clara Stepheusou that of the Quecu. Neither was quite satis factory. Tiie gentleman exhibits au invin cible fondness for drawling out his words in a deliberate and pompous stylo, besides marking the syllables with longthy pause*, and the ell'ect is certainly not such as to heighten the gravity of the situation. Apart from this mannerism, and a certain disre gard of courtly deportment, he succeeded well. Miss Stepheuson's " Queen " does not call for much remark. She deli vered her share of the dialogue effectively enough, but in several situations the seeming indifference ot her demeanour did not aid in the achievement of the intended effect. For instance tho sensational character of thi interview be tween herself aud the apparently distraught Prince was detracted from by the marked concern which she eviuced for the safety of her coiffure, and the direction of her mind was readily apprehended by the audience through her actions. A triile like this often mars a good representation. Mr Haygarth, in theatrical parlance,"doubled" as Polonius and First Gravedigger, and he acquitted himself fairly of both parts. Mr "vvcight niiin made a good Second Gravedigger. Miss Wilton has much to learn yet before she can successfully essay the role c-f Ophelia. Her reading of blank verse is susceptible of great improvement, and her singing may be performed more skilfully. Her voice re quires control and training. She has, at any rate, those personal graces which materially assist in the execution of such a part. In Mr Dumar'a hands', Horatio, the boaom friend of Hamlet, lost much of the importance and a great deal of the poetic feeling with which he is invested. Mr O'Brien made a fair Laertes, and Miss Raymond a capital O3ric. It is but fair to say that the members of the company were almost letter-perfect in their several parts, and that no unpleasant hitch occurred to disturb the sequeuco of the plot. Cou siderablo excision was, oi course, rendered necessary in order to bring the performance within reasonable limits o£ time, and the task bad. been judiciously done. (Some annoyance was felt in the dross circle at the conduct of a few garrulous individuals, who, undismayed by the significant glances that were cast upon them froiai time to time, kept up an incessant chatter through out the performance. Behaviour of this kind should not bs tolerated, in it eilcctu ally distracts the attention of everyone who has the misfortune to be within oar-shot. "Hamlet" will be repeated to-night, and we would urge those who did not see it on Saturday not to miss tho opportunity offered this evening. It is one of the most complete impersonations which we have ever witnessed.

REWARDS AND PUNISHMENTS.

(To the Editor.)

Slß,—Please, for the information of your numerous readers, print the following ex tract from the published opinions of the Rev. Canon Farrar on the doctrine of eternal punishment:—"If the doctrine in que3tion could be supported by isolated texts, he would set aside the authority of such texts as opposed to the general testimony of Scripture to the mercy and justice of God. But he believed, speaking as a theolo gian, and h-iving given the subject much study, that it could not be sup ported even by isolated text*. In every case there was either a mistrai sla tion, or the words used had changed from their original moaning. Indeed he hoped that in the revision of the Bible the words hell, damnation, aud eternal punishment would be omitted, and this would be done if the revisors did their duty." He spoke with the utmost scorn of the materialistic hell of the early fathers and of Jeremy Taylor, especially, denouncing St. Augustine as haviDg thrown a dirk stain upon theology,—l am, &.,

A familiar instance of color-blindness is that of a man taking a brown silk umbrella and leaving a green gingham in its place. " No, no," said he, explaining, " I wasn't really mad when the old man drove me from tlie house, but I must say I felt put out."

" Oh, she was a jewel of a wife!" said Pat, mourning over the loss of his better half, " she always struch me with the soft end of the mop."

SUICIDE OF TWO DANBURY WO MEN.

AN EXTRAORDINARY CASE,

The Misses Elizabeth and Anna Trow brk'ge, daughters of Alvali Trowbridge, recently took their lives by hanging, in their home in Chicago. Elizabeth was forty three years old, and Anna was throe years younger. Mr. Trowbridge's family consisted oi several children, ail beiug married e.-ccepting three. Twenty-live years ago his wife niad aud three years later ho married again. The second wife was an estimable woman, but the two daughters became prejudiced against her. Two years ago tli3 three sisters left their father's home, and ab;.ut that time the second wife died. The father gave them a houss to live in, and they bad property from their mother. In all, their income was about SIGO a month, a very comfortable living. The evidence of Nona, gi\cn at the coronet's inquest, was to the eilect that she and her sisters believed they were to come to want. She even states that their income was to cease on the first of August, the very date being fixed, but it was an hallucination. They shrank from beiug turned out on the street, and so they took their own lives, to avoH a calamity that had no existence beyond their diseased fancies. None of the family acquainted with the circumstances, in any way blame the father for the daughteis'act. The .Chicago Times presents the following summary of their mental condition, which pi rhaps strikes the nearest to the truth of anything published about the matter: They were well educated. They made good social connections. They had more than the average of personal attractions Certaiuly few girls had better prospects than they. The girls looked on their father's re marriage not simply as an act of disrespect to their dead mother, but as a robbery of them. From this time the mental peculiari ties of the two ladic3 began to be conspicuous. They were intelligent and well-bred, aud their society was esteemed by many, yet they were capable of making the most an kind and untrue accusations against their father, and of making miserable their step mother. The young ladies visited Europe at their father's expense. For their con venience after their return he kept a carriage. Their surroundings seemed abundantly satisfactory. But the soreness developed by their father's remarriage was increased as time slipped by, and the prospect of their marrying millionaires aud shining in society became more faint. Advanciug age led their father, twelve years ago, to retire from business and dispose of his interest to his son-in-law. This the two daughters bitterly opposed. It was in their minds one more act of robbery perpetrated at their expense. If their father remained in business his in creasing fortune would add to their means sooner or later. If he went out of business it would put an extinguisher on their hopes of beiug rich, and, more than that, it opened the gates of wealth to their married sister, A very moderate amount of brooding over this new disappointment was enough to make them see in their father's retirement nothing but an act of hostility to them and of partiality for the married daughter. Tho father retired with an income of §10,C3Ua year, but the panic of 1873 reduced his means, and he had to dispense with his carriage. Here was another bitter disappointment. The one object of their existence was tho social world, and the loss of the carriage put an cud apparently tj -this. About two years ago the two discontented daughters, who had been joined by thoir sister Nona, demaiuicd of their father that he devide his property with them theo, instead of leaving the matter to be done after his death, lie complied, and gave tho two older daughters real estate worth §10,003, being two stores numbered 147 aud 149 Halsted street, and a cottage on Forty-fifth .street, and on tlic youngest of the three he settled §30 a month. They refused to see any of their friends. A man with a grievance may keep him self in tolerable mental health by keening himself constantly occupied. JJut tlie.-io three woman had nothing to do. They were not even obliged to do thoir own house work, for they kept a servant. They hud no work to do—no real anxiety about tlii'ir support, though they created an imaginary anxiety oil that point. Things had not turned out as they had hoped. They were sinule, in niodeiate circumstances, aud com paratively unknown; whereas they had hoped to be married, rich, and the observed of all observers. To make things worse, their sister was married and rich, and rode in her carriage. Tliov had iittle to do ull day but to contrast their condition with her.", or with some imaginary condition which might hsvo been theirs. They grew into the idea that all the world was against them, and having injured their mental vision in ono respect, it ppeedily became untrust worthy in all others. Not content with breaking up their father's house, they charged htm with criminality, and undoub tedly they believed that he was guilty, just as they doubtloss fully believed that all the world was tiying to rob and disappoint them. They withdrew from society and sat in their house brooding all day lo\ig over their troubles, real aud lictiliou?, until those troubles became in their eyes tho chiefest tilings in tho world. Tho three sisters were tor mauy years members ot Plymouth church. In many respects thoir deportment was most exemplary, and Mr. Everest regarded them as devout OhiHti.in women, but victims of mental disease. Their wrongs grew even larger in their even, till at last they seemed to call for blood. They then decided to commit suicide. At first it was agreed that all three .should kill themselves at once, but their diseased self consjiousness saved the life of the youngest, who, it was determined, should survive and tell the world what her eldest sisters died for. Methods of suicide were discussed, and hanging waa selected. Monday eveniag they fastened the doors and windows, dressed themselves carefully (they always dressed well), drotc some hooks iuto the casings of the doors in tlie front parlor, and then Elizabeth aud A.uua told Nona to go up stairs aud remain for an hour or two. Then these two ladies got up iv the chairs, placed the nooses around their necks, the other ends of the cords being attached to the hooka which they had driven into the casings. Then the two sisters kicked the chairs from under them. The fall beiug too short to break their uecks, they strangled to death. Nona, who sat up stairs, heard the chairs kicked out, aud tlie fall of the bodies, but she sat there alone in the twi light, with the dead bodies of her sisters hanging in the room b«low her for another hour before she would stir down stairs. The careful apparel of the dead marked the deliberate preparation for the iinal act. Tho elder, Elizabeth, wore a linen afternoon dress, lace collar, rich jewclleiy, silk hose, and gaiters. Auua, not quite so gay, had on a black silk, fashionably made, aud white waist of linen, and rich lace aud embroid ery. Nona, in her statement, after speaking of the dread from loss o; property, said : " There has been a great deal of trouble lately over the property, and this has worried my sisters a great deal. They felt that they were persecuted, aud they became tired of life, and they have meditated death for several days. The first conversation on the subject occurred last week. They felt that we must leave the house on the Ist of August. The subject was discussed yester day, and preparatiors were made tor the suicide. They talked with me about it, and prayed with me and read the Bible, and seemed to be happy atter these preparations were made. They talked of different methods of taking their life, aud linally decided upon hanging themselves as the easiest me thod. They accordingly bade me farewell, and at about six o'clock, having fastened up the house, they left mo up stairs and re quested me not to come down nor make any noise for an hour or two. They went down into the parlour, aud in a few minutes I heard the chairs fall in the parlour, and I knew they had accomplished the act they had contemplated. I went down in a little while to tho ki.'chen, and soon after I •went to the parlour and found my sister Elizabeth suspended by the neck between the front and back parlour door casings. My sister Anna was suspended in the same manner from the casing of the door leading from the parlour to the hall. 1 touched them both, and found them both dead. I then went up stairs and to the front chamber, then to the back window, and was there when Mra llausom rang the door bell. The hooks from which they suspended themselves were screwed into the door-casing*. The bottle of chloroform found in the house was bought yesterday morning, and the knife found there was bought at the same time. They did not desire the use of chloroform, out they talked of putting the knife iuto their hearts. We had discussed the idea of my taking my life with them, but they did not want me to, and while 1 knew that my only protectors were leaving me, yet I thought I would stay to tell the reason for their act.'1

When she found the bodies she gave the alarm to the neighbours, aud the authorities were advised of the tragedy and at ouce took care of the dead.

UNION BEACH TRIBUTES.

(To tlio Editor.) Deak Shi,—l was greatly surprised on reading your article re Union iSeacli iv your paper of May the 7th at the insinuation contained thereiu, that I had aoted in a dis houourable manner to the company regard iu" the tribute I obtained from them. I cannot bring myself to believe that you would have penned that article had you known tho true state of the case, winch is as follows : When the Black Reef was being worked gold was seen ia a little stringer running in the foot wall; it w;n tried m varioufplaces, but was not thought worth following. Many men knew of its existence. The present manager sank twenty or twenty live feet ou it, and drove into the Black Kecf stopes, but meeting with-little success discontinued it. Ou applying for the tribute I thought this stringer might in some part become payable, and was worth another trial We started under the old workings and got gold after about a week's work, not half an hour as you state. We traced the gold twenty-live feet deep, and it took us three weeks to take out the thirty-eight ounces How have 1 acted dishonourably or unfairly in the matter ? I think lam only asking you to do what is just, when 1 request you to insert this letter, as your article was calculated 'most seriously to injure my reputation, for the loss of which uo amount of gold I could obtain would compensate me. —Yours, &c, David Jenks.

"ALIBI."-WHO IS HE?

(To the Editor.)

Sin,—l read the vulgar (I was going to say obscene) letter, "Mistaken Identity, m Saturday's '' Star." I wonder why ■' Alibi suggests that Miss McCarthy might be indicted for wilful perjury ? Perhaps lie is the only person iv Auckland who could prove whether the police caught the wrong man, and whether the young girl made a mistake as to the identity ? I remain, &C, MILTIADES.

A FEW LAST WORDS ON THE IDENTITY.

(To the Editor.)

SIR,—I much regret that "An Identity Believer" should so far forget himself as to descend, as he has done in his last letter, to impertinent personalities. This is to me the sure sign that he cares very little for any truth', and that the wisest thing is to have no more to say to him. "Anglo-Israel," who I doubt not is sin cere iv his belief, in returning to the " crußhing-oties'-cncmies" doctriuc, throws we back on the feeling that what he calls the "divine," I call the infernal policy. (See James, iv. 1.) Whether that policy may yet again be iv the ascendant, to the unspeakable misery of the nations, is known neither to him nor me. If he is content to worships god of war, I am sotry for it, but shall not quarrel with him over it; but I prefer retaining my belief in the God of love, incarnate in Christ, the Prince of Peace. Ou this one point turns the main disputo between "Anglo-Israel" aud my self: I esteem the Spirit of Christ as infinitely more important than any number of Identity questions. There we must leave it.—l am, &c, SAMUEL Edgek.

THE SCHOOLMASTER ABROAD.

(To the Editor.)

SiK,—" Adolescous'" reply to my letter I consider both puerile ami irrelevant iv the extreme, and almost beneath further notice beyond asking you in common justice to give my most distinct denial to the signifi cantly untruthful assertion inserted therein, to the effect tint I implied " that the hate tul inquisition was once established In l'"ng land, supplemented by a not very Hatter ing inference us to my ignorance of even tho rudimcuta of historical facts, and which a re-perusal of my letti r will most amply re fute, notwithstanding " it s.aggered his budding faith" bo—whatever that may mean. From the general tone and mean ingless quibbles of i" Adolcscens"1 letter, I can only assume that ho has just oniCfjied from soino public school, and scarcely yet acquired the " toga virilis," although from the concluding half-finished sentence, coupled with the necessity of having to use three dictionaries over a plain grammatical communication in hii native language, by no means induces me to place the same lictitious value ou his scholarly attainments as ho evidently does himself. I cannot sufficiently express my gratitude, however, for his very correct (though totally un necessary) deliuition of the luckless mK placed word simply in my letter, that bus raised such a "veritable storm in his tea pot," and in face of his three dictionaries and other rhodomontade about himself, aud holding "that a man assuming the rule of ceni-or should not Iling big wouls about that he did not know the meaning of," &c, (in which 1 coidially agree with him.) lie deliberately states "Punch" is the prototype,-not its New Zealand travesty !" Surely this is "a hoist by his own petard" of our would-be schoolmaster and critic, strongly suggesting tho desirability before again exposing his own palpable ignorance at? other people*1 expense, to look into one of his numerous dictionaries, wherein he will learn the word travesty signifies "disguiao of dress," or "turned into ridi cule, &c," which is now so thoroughly applicable to his own present self-elected position 1 Correlative, ye would be critic ! is the word in spit'! of your disparagement of my criticism to tho luudation ot your own. Always mind the beam iv your own eye, &c. Yes, like the venerable Nestor you quote, "Mr Welsh nods," but simply at your own suicidal act, as the false preten sions and ignorance you so unjustifiably attempted to fasten upon him, have igno miuiously recoiled upon your own shoulders, coupled with the laboured reply to my letter, tccrainpr. as it dots, with such a chaotic array of most meauinglass and by no means over-complimentary verbiage, it is desirable that this correspondence- should now cease. -I am, &c,
