THEATRE ROYAL.

MADAME SIMONSEN'S BENEFIT.

A large and fashionable audience assem bled at the Theatre Royal last evening on the occasion of Madame Fanny Simonsen's benefit. The performance commenced with a concert, in which a number of the mem bers appeared. Mr M. Simonsen was encored for his rendering of the violin solo, " Life on the Ocean" (fantaisie), and he played "The Last Rose of Summer in response to the re call. Miss Carry Godfrey was very success ful with her song "Das Alpenhorn," with cornet obligato by Mr Thompson. The ballad " Alice Where Art Thou," was cap i tally sniuj by Mr J. Edwards, an Auckland gentleman, who has been engaged as a member of the Opera Company. He was compelled to submit to an imperatire encore. The ballad, " I Love Him So," was well rendered by Wiss Leonora Simonsen. Several other items were contributed. The concert was followed by Uellini's tragic opera, "Norma." The production was a most successful one. We have al ready criticised the representation of the opera by the company, and it is unnecessary to make fnrther reference to it. " Pinatcre " is announced for this evening, which is to be the last of the season.

HOW A LEGISLATOR WAS DISCOURAGED.

Johnny Spillkins, a Galveaton boyol about twelve summeis, has just returned from a brief visit to Austin, where he has au uncle. Johnny must have spent a good deal of his time in the capitol, and have associated with legislators, for ho abounds In all manner of legislative terras and ex pressions. His legislative knowledge first cropped out when he went to the door to answer a ring of the bell. The family clergyman was getting up a subscription list for an orphan asylum, and had called to get a subscription. He asked Johnny if his father was in. , 11 The Governor is engaged just now with official business of great importance. He is filling away batter cakes and other internal improvements." The clergyman stared and said : " Tell your father I would like to see mm. I want him to subscribe to get up a benefit for the orphans." "It's no use for you to introduce that bill; besides you ought to know that the Governor has no jurisdiction in such mat ters. You can get somebody to introduce your bill, but I shall vote against it. It is unconstitutional to vote the money of the State to relieve orphans. Of course lam in favour of orphans. They are a good thine to have in the family, but I don't propose that you shall open a door to fraud and cor ruption by appropriating any of the cash balance for that purpose. Why should the orphan be relieved when the boy who has the mumps is overlooked? Then, again, how are we to tell whether they are orphans? They may have three or four mothers apiece for all this Legislature knows to the contrary. What security has this House that the orphans will ever see the money, anyhow? Just as like as not you will spend it in riotous living. You had better withdraw your motion, Parson, for after this Legislature has set down on the crippled. Confederate soldier, it ia not afraid of a whole asylum full of orphans. I close the debate and the door," and Johnny shut the door in the clergyman's face. The latter gasped for breath, but passed on, wondering that he had not heard of Johnny's insanity before. When Johnny came back to the breakfast table, his father asked him who was at the door. "It was the Rev. Goodman, but I sat down on him in the committee room. I don't think he will bother this House any more this term." Johnny's father remarked that sending the boy to Austin had made a fool of him, but he thought he knew a remedy. Johnny replied, carelessly, that there had already been too much special legislation in that family, anyhow, and strolled off to school. His experiences at school were very dis couraging, When he was called off to say his lesson, he wanted to refer the whole matter to the Committee on Sponges and Slate Pencils. The teacher asked him what he meant, by talking such foolishness. "That, sab," said Johnny, striking an attitude and thrusting one hand in his vest, " that, sah, is a question that can only bo answered outside of this hall, sir." The teacher replied : " Just as the gentleman wishes. After adjournment we will have a joint discus sion."

And so they did. When Johnny came home he was the sorest boy on the aalves ton Island ; but he was still chock full of legislative lore, for when his mother told him that his father had left word for him to clean up the yard, he laughed contempt uously and said : 11 Ha ! Another message from the Gover nor. I believe the old man fancies he can run this Legislature, but he will find out about that before the session is over."

When the old man came home, the first thing he wanted to know was why that yard was not cleaned up. Johnny gave him some nonsense about his objecting to the Governor usurping legislative power, when the old ■ man reached out and made a successful motion to lay Johnny on the table, and then, with a strap he had been holding in reserve, he warmed up Johnny so that his applause could be heard several hundred yards off. Johnny wanted to tell the Governor how much he admired his communication policy, but there was such a rush of busi ness that he was overlooked.

"There," said Spillkin?, St., as he threw away the strap, " I reckon you will never want to go to the Legislature again." Johnny is a private citizen now, and looks upon [his legislative experience as a horrid dream.

This case was brought by plaintiff on the understanding that Signor liiccardi, the defendant, was about to leave tbo colony without paying his creditors. Defendant stated that he confessed judg ment at half-past two o'clock yesterday, and at twelve o'clock to-day he received a summons to appear in this Court.

MINING NEWS.

(FROM THE " COROMANDEL MAIL.") Pride of TnE Tiki.—Since commencing operations a few weeks ago, some hundreds of feet of trenching have been done, and six leaders have been discovered. On testing the stone by poundiug, two of the leaders give splendid prospects, and will moat likely be driven on when the rainy weather 1 sets in. Mclntyre and party are desirous of continuing surface operations while the fine weather lasts, and thoroughly prospect the ground by trenching. It is but fair to say that since work was commenced they have kept hard at it, and if energy and close application deserve success this party will get it. Maoris'. —The Maoris have gone in for another lower level twenty feet below their last, and have just cut through a line look ing body of stone heavily charged with minerals. This leader is about 10 inches wide, and is in a nice blue sandstone coun try. There is a lot of bright silvery mundic in the quartz. Bismarck.—ln the early part of the week i no gold was seen in two or throe breakings down of the reef ia the tunnel; bat on Thursday a few colours were again visible in rubbly quartz taken out of the face. Yesterday we learned that when breaking down the reef in the rise a nice parcel of picked stone was taken out. Tokatea.—The Mining Manager re ports : The contractors have driven about 23 feet during the week, which completes about 155 feet of their contract, leaving 45 feet further to drive to finish the present 200 feet contract. Boswell's tribute : The prospects from the reef in this party's ground has improved so much as to warrant them putting in a new level about 25 feet below their present workings. m CORBY Co.'s battery is engaged for 2 tons of stuff from Boswell's tribute, Tokatea Company's claim, and about 3 tons of stuff which is now being conveyed from the tributers, McNeill and party, who are working a block for the Koyal Oak Com pany. Wilson and Kelso, also tributers of the Koyal Oak, have engaged to crush at the Bismarck Company's battery a trial lot of 3 tons from the old stopes in the Little Wonder reef; also a trial lot from the No. 3 reef. , Golden Belt.—The following copy of a telegram addressed to the legal manager was posted up on Thursday night:—" Just got a few pounds cf atone fiom tbc big reef, which is showing gold very freely.—E, Ninnis."

Quebn of the North (Homibrook Tribute). -A crushing of five tons this week ten ounces gold. Golden Bklt.—The; manager brought into the township last night about two pounds stone broken out of a reef two and a-halt feet wide, with heavy gold right through the stone, estimated to go over half an ounce to the pound. The character of the stone is bluish. The prospects of this mine arc excellent.

The Home Rule are now on a good run of gold, and as the work advances the prospects of the mine are becoming still more determined in favour of tie share holders.

The Tiri altogether is looking healthy, and when the battery is up will give a good account of itself.

A man of property, named John James Brock, was locked up this afternoon on a charge of stealing a pick at Arch Hill, th property of Kobert Somers. The prisoner had been drinking heavily lately, and it is supposed that he was scarcely conscious of his act.
