THEATRE ROYAL-BAKERS' COM PANY.

Messrs Baker, iho eminent vocalists, (Bakers' Company) will commence a Berios of vocal and musical entertainments at the Theatre Royal on the evening of Easter Monday, with an ** Evening with Tom Moore, the Bard of Ireland." Tho pro gramme will embrace tbe choicest and most universal of Moore's song*-", illustrative of the faded glories of Ireland, the feeling of constancy, charms of Irish scenery, tho moating of tho wnter.s, and ballads of patriotism nnd friendship. Moonlight memories nnd louder reyrets, such as •'Love's Young Dr»am," and "Oft in the Stilly Night," glimpses of the life and ■writings of Erin's national bard will bo given In connection with bis beautiful poetry, with pleasant sketches by au appreciative lee-, tnrer, on the pocss early associations, travels in America, Franco and Italy ; his fortunes and misfortunes, his intimacy with Lord Byroil andotber emminent men, with a peiformanceon Brian Boru's Harp. Tho mention of the name of Hcury Baker alone, wid be a suffi cient Rtiarantoe of the ginuiueness und high.cla»s chuaeter of tho evening with Moore, to citizens. The toedorncsa, sweet ness and plainhvfe of the melodies of Moore, arc his distinguishing characteris tics, and which find echoes iv every human heart, save tho few which have become cal lous to the delightful iiilliienco3 of poetry aDd musio of the most enchanting kind. We learn lhat Biker's company have made a successful to«r through old England and Ireland, and overywbere met with most en couraging applause and grneroas criticism from the press. Tbe " Ipswich Observer," ono of the old provincial standards in news paper liternluro, always chary in its praise, snys, with special reference to the singing of Mr Henry Baker. "Wc require a good and sufficient reason for paying compliments, and therefore Mr Baker may accept as genuine our assurance that we never enjoyed an hour of an enter tainment more in onr lives. We sat from tho beginning to the end, and heard him with unbroken, unalloyed pleasure^ We have listened with far less sati*faction to son"s in the opera houses of France and Italy. It is the only performance wo havo heard for some time that we felt sorry there was no moro of it. The melodies of Moore and the old patriotic spirit of the Iriah are in able hand.'. Every Irishman should hear Mr Baker. It 1* essentially a high-class entertainment." By the following extract, taken from the Cork Examiner, it will be seen that even in the old country Mr Baker has received the highest praise : — "In an entertainment bearing tho above title, Mr Henry Baker appeared last even in", and it is' but justice to say that the efl'ort, was alike worthy oi the subject and ot the art:st himself, whose name is so de servedly popular. In a lecture, character ised by taste and n thorough knowledge of his subject, Mr Dalcrr dwelt on the history and beauties of our ancient munc, whose strains are now inseparably wedded to the exquisite poetry of Moore, and bestowed a tribute of the warmest admiration ou the genius of the immoital bnrtl, who, in his melodies, bequeathed so rich and so lasting a legacy to (lis countrymen. Tho lecture was rendered still more interesting by vocal illustrations, and it is hardly necessary to say that, in the hands of Mr Baker, the sweet and expressive songs of our country, which so truly breathe forth the language of feeling and passion, lost nothing of their charms. Tho melodies chosen for illustra tion were those in which were pourtrayed patriotism, love, friendship, constrancy, &ci, and in each and every one Mr Baker proved himself the proper organ of the genius of Moore. Win re all were admirably sung, it is a difficult mailer to pick out one or two songs for special commendation, but we cannot help saying that Mr Baker's finest efforts were, to our mind, "The Minstrel Boy," "Farewell, but Whenever," and " When Through Lite Unbkst We Rove." The audience were loud in their applause."

HAWERA, this day

A move north on Taranaki land is to b: made on Monday by Col. Rolcrts and tbe Constabulary at pro'wnt at IKakeo. It remains to be seen what effect this will have on the movements of Te Whiti. Your correspond jut read with pleasure a short editorial of the SI'AE speculating on Iho real meaning of Te Vi biti's utterances, and also tho oonclusion como to before Iho Orakei Parliament on the same subject. The exact extent of tho measured or apportioned land mentioned by Te Whiti is not known, but it certainly applies to a portion of the Taranaki land with Parihaka as a centre, to become tho head-quarters and dwelling place of the whole of the native population.

Correspondence.

(To the Editor)

Sir.,—The Bey. S. Elisor is mistaken in thinking that my lecture at the Institute was " au attempt to justify the present wailiko nnd cruel policy of Englaud in Central Asia." Nothing was further from my mind than to mako such au at tempt. In the abstract, and as the result of sid personal expo:ieuce on ten fields of battle, i have the greatest abhor.ince of war. In my lecture at the Institute I intended to imply, of oue campaign at lenst, against Afghan tribes-in 18(13, that it would ba diOicult to defend (ha course followed by the then Indian Govern ment. I have no doubt

at all tbat the determination of the British Government to be paramount in Afghanistan is a necessary policy, however much to be re gretted, and that it will bo maintained lor the time to come, whether by Radicals, Liberals, or Conservatives ; but I am uot at all prepared to nay that it was necessary to Bend Sir Lonis Cavagr.iiii to Cabul in the autumn of 1870, or to defend tlie subsequent course of the Secretary of State for India.—Yours, &c, W. G. AUCKLAND, Isp. Bishop's Court, Auckland.

SINGING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

(To tbe Editor),

Fib,—ln onr desire to keep pace with other countries with regard to State Education, a strain upon our •resources lius to bo submitted to, but that will not stand in place of employment. Although necessary, and great in the end to which it is diroctcd, it will become of secondary importance when the mass demand labour, and ulti mately bread. Without manufacture, we shall be raising an educated pauper popula tion ; but lind them employment, aud the education you haye caused to be imparted will at onco become apparent in every branch, and iv all its phtues, In addition to a sound commercial, and even higher education, singing, at a cost of several thousands per annum, is lately added as a desideratum to this departmont of State expenditure. Without manufacture, it suggests tho idea that we sro to raise 'Strolling minstrols," "itinerant singers." similar to those continually imported into London and Ihe great pro vincial towns of England from Italy. In the majority oi iuniances, each parent fondly believes his child to bo possessed of a peculiar talent, and every nerve is strained to retain him or ber at school. A false issue is hereby raised both in the miud of parent and child, the end disappointment. Iv an English community who depend tor sustenance on the work of their hands, that however desirable it would bo to cultivate and possess a trained voice, they would greatly prefer a trade or business, by which their children to a certain extent would bo placed out of tho reach of poverty. I pro pose, sir, to dispense with Milling ia onr public schools, and substitute manufacture throughout the colony, whereby the child, the parents and the state all reap a great ad vantage, especially now, when able-bodied men are compelled to apply to apply to Government for work, and the rising gener ation left unprovided for.—l am, &c, Albekt I'ott__.

CRICKET,

(To the Editor.)

Sl3,—Allow mo through your columns to give a hint to the Auckland cricketers. As the season is coir drawing to a close, I think it would be well if a Criek'jt Association ia formed with the view of having cricket car rind out bettor next season thau it waa dur ing the present one, and I would suggest tbo secretaries of the various clubs have a meeting {for the purpose of taking tlie pre liminary steps. It is patent to anyone who attends the Domain regularly overy Satur day tbat very little " esprit de corps " exists among the players. Several men play for two or three clubs, aud sometimes against tke club they lirst joined. Again, hardly a Saturday passes without the captain of one club (if not both) going round .to the spectators to get a man or men to fill up his eleven, nnd oftentimes win ning a match by obtaining the services of a good bat from another. Club. The com plaiuts of the badness of tlie wickets and worse state of lielding-ground, arc not load, but deep. 'Ihe excuse for this state of tilings is want of money. Now, a small sum spent at the end of tho seisou in tilling up holes, &c, aud in the beginning of the spring, docs moro good than ton limes the amount, when tbe grouud is burnt up in summer. One very great drawback that the young players (or, for that matter, tho old ones too) suffer from, is the want of a professional player. No Club is sutli ciently well off to pay the expense of one, but the Association might, aud o.s I bear Mr Robinson, Captain of the once invincible Auckland toim, is going home for a trip ; no doubt he would be willing and able to procure the services of a good man, should sufficient inducement be offered. I notice that several Clubs arc engaged to play next Saturday, and I wonld ask the players not to lot tbat opportunity pass without discussing this matter, as I feel sure that every thorough cricketer sees the want of a properly-organised Association. I em, &c, Lover of Cricket.

WESLEYAN CHURCH, WOODVILLE (PAPATOITOI).

A PUBLIC soiree was held in the above church on Wednesday, the 24th instant, when a large number" ot settlers from the surrounding districts were regaled with an excellent tea supplied by the following ladies : Mesdamcs Martin, Gladding, Cioe, De Carteret, and Smith. After the tables were cleared away a very interesting enter tainment wa3 held, presided over by the Rev. J. Mackay (Presbyterian). The Chairman, in bis address, referred to the fact that on the 16th December, 1855, he had the pleasure of conducting one of the open ing services of the said church. During tho evening the Rev. J. Law gave several humorous reading from popular authors, and Messrs C. Bycroft, Findlay, Cloe, anr> McElroy delighted tho audience with their recitations. The Otahuhu choir, uuder the leadership of Mr Tanfield, rendered valuable services on the occasion, Miss Bums pre siding at the harmonium, In njneut speech a hearty vote of thauks to the ladies, the choir, and the chair, etc., by Mr Baddeley, seconded by Mr L'e Carteret, and carried by acclamation. Before the close of the meeting the Roy. J. Law read a statement, showing that the sum of £10 Gs had been taken at the door as the proceeds of tlie entertainment. — (Correspondent).

PAPAKURA.

The annual general meeting of the united congregations of Papakura, Drury, Wairoa, (Xc, was held in the chinch at Papakura on Thursday, 25th- inst., the Rev. T. Norrie in the chair. The report for 1879 was read by the general secretary Mr J. li. Bay, and showed that £515 2s 2d had been raised. The missionary districts of Pokeni &c, had succeeded in raising the amount re quired for the student evangelist., but a difliciciicy of about £15 appeared in the min ister's stipend. Mr S. H. Keid in seconding the adoption of the report, reconmiouded that steps shou'd at once be taken to make np this amount, by each district ot the main charge giving a little help. The gen eral committee was as usual appointed, Mr J. R Hay being re-appointed general secre tary, aud Mr James Bell general treasurer. The meeting then resolved itself into a so cial gathering, when songs wcresuujj, read ings delivered, and speeches made, iv which the following ladies aud gentlemen took

Visit of Lincolnshire Dele gates to Kaipara.

(FROM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER)

PAHI, tSisdsy. MESSES GBANT and Foster, and a party of gentlemen, at the invitation of Captain Colbeck, left Auckland by the City of Cork and were conveyed by special train to Ifel-nsvill', and thence by I he Tangihua, which was especially chattered. Ths excur sionists had a charming trip across the Kaipara Harbour, and up the picturesque estuaries of the Otamatoa, lauding at. Curtis' Point, where horsCß weie waiting, and Ihe paity were conveyed to Hili'^firm, Mangaforoto, riding through the beautiful bush. Hill conducted them to tho top of th i ridges commanding a view of (he extensive and fertile valley. BICHSOIU Soil win turned up in scrotal places, demonstrating vtry emphatically that rich hind JoiM exist in the North, and iv any quantity. On ihe top of the ridges the soil was proved to consist of rich elluvial loom two feet deep, immediately on top of limestone. The delegates were satisfied at least of the goodness of the sail. Returning the party skiitedthe beautiful kauri fureiti at Hill's farm, where English grass has soon taken well and the pasturage is very gooo. VISIT TO PATLKY'S ESTATE. They returned by steamer and bad a de lightful moonlight trip down the Otamatea aud up the Arapoua to Capt Colbeck'a resi dence, on tne Pahi, whero they were most hospitably ontcrtaintd. During this trip the steamer skitt:;J about 30 miles oi Capt. Colbeck'a estate, which fronts three rivers and includes the pretty township ot Batley, formerly known as il as c fie Id's Point, at the junction of the Otamatea anil Ara poua. There a fine limestone olilF, two hundred feet high, proves conclusively the uaturo of the formation. The delegates have just slatted on horseback to inspect Captain Colbeck'a block, and will return to town early on Sunday morning.

EASTER MONDAY.

Monday will be observed an a general holiday. Those who havo been iv ttrict attendance npon the religious ollices inci dental to Holy Week, will then unbend themselves, the city will yield itself up lo the gaiety of frolicsome recreation, and tbo country will receive from every quarter tbo Bmoke-diied aud cure-worn toilers of the town. Easter-tide is a moat attractive oasis in the monotonous desert of routine which extends from Regatta Day lo Jler Majesty's anniversary, aud it is associated in Auckland with recollections of gonial autumnal weather, sunny >kie.s nnd pleasant excursions. It is situated in tbe most delightful season of tlie year when tho eu_mer solstice is wauiua awl tha facilities for enjoyment ore as jrrrat as the capacity and tho desire foi it. I' has there fore always 'neon and ever will bo a most popular holiday. The menus of amuse ment that commend themselves in the public mind are numerous, varied, and at tractive. Pre-eminent in inaguitildo ami possibility in potency of attraction is the annual meeting of the HENDERSON'S MILL TUKE CLUB. A noteworthy fixture in connection with which will bo tho running of trains from Auckland and Waikomiti, which i:i within two miles of the race-course. This is toe first section of the Knipara line tbat is available for traffic, nod much interest will attach to what U practically the opening of it. The programme bin been carefully compiled, the prize money comparatively liberal, and tlie horses that are going for the several events are well and favourably known to lovers of tbe turf. Given the lice weather ot which we have uoir so line a prospect, tbo result of a trip to Henderson's Mill should be in the highest tlcwrce .satis factory. Next to it in point of public impor tance, but far more powerful iv attractive ness to meu of nautical predictions, is THB PONSONBY REGATTA. A considerable number of entries bave been leceived for tbe various events on tho j programme, and it is expected (bat the regatta will bo even more successful than its predeec.-sors. There pre in all about a dozen races announced, the lirst of which will be starlcd at 9..50 a.m , end the others ut intervals of hulf-an-liour. The entries and remarks on tho races will bo fomul in our spotting column. Till': ELLEKSLIE GARDENS will doubtless receive a fair proportion of patronage. Tbe programme of athletic sports arranged by Mr Brenau haa been well advertised, and already speculation la rife as to the relative chances of the com petitors for the larger events. The 100, 2GO, and 300 yd?., Handicap is the match of the day, and as tbe intending uiunera aro in active training for it, tonic exciting con tests are anticipated, THE DOMAIN SPORTS. Will engage considerable attention, from the fact that they comprise a series of matches between J. R. Hutton (a local ped), and J. 11. Frier, of Gisborne, for £50 a side and the championship of Auckland. They arc to run a 100 yds. race, 150 yds., and 200 yds. There will also be at 150 yd?. handicap, and a quarter-mile handicap. To persons of quieter dispositions tbe various STEAM AND R4IL EXCURSIONS, wil! offer moans of recreation and pleasure that will not be overlooked, while the weather will doubtless be such as to favour tlie schemes of anxious and hopeful pic uicers. THS EVENING AMUaEMENTS are diversified, and it is fairly presumable that they will all prove highly .agreeable. The Theatre Royal will bo occupied with Baker's entertainniont of Hibernian son;,'. Demi's Minstrels will appear upon the boards of the Lome-street Hall, and at the Ghoral Hall an amateur dramatic and musical entertainment will bo held.

Volunteer Intelligence.

A ntTENDLY shooting match took place yesterday at Mount Eden between a number of civilians, Engineers, and Naval Volun teers. The ranges were 200, 300, 400, 500, and GOO yards, live shots at each. A sweep stake for the highest aggregate to 500 yards was taken by Sapper Allcd. Another separate sweep was lired for at the GOO yards. The scores were as follows : —

GOO Y.utDS Sweep. — 7 Shot.-*.

It will be seen from the hits that although four of tho competitors scored 1G points each, Sapper Sterling only made one miss, whilst the others missed twice, therefore, he is considered to bo entitled to the sweep.
