Melbourne. Mr Dampicr has returned to the colonies a greater artist than ever. I don't know which I like best, his Hamlet, Coupeau, or Louis XL Of the latter, the "Herald" critic says: "Mr Eampier's Coupeau is realism, his Hamlet genius. Louis is both realism and genius." Let it be noted as an improvement that the "Herald" theatrical criticisms are now written intelligently. There was a time when a par. once a week was all the critiques a poor player could get from that journal. Sydney, December sth,

Two Wanganui chiefs, who had been known to be moat surly amongst the natives at Parihaka, appear to have got over their pouri.

[BY TELKORAPH-TRESS ASSOCIATION.]

OAMARU, this day. The first cose under warning and Lotteries Act was heard to-day, when Thomas Mircn was charged in the Resident Mugis. tratc's Court with promoting half-a-crown sweepstakes on the racecourse. He was fined five shilling, without costs.

FIRE IN HEPBURN-STREET.

SHORTLY before elcren o'clock last evening, a glare in the western sky informed the denizens of the city that a conflagration had broken out Ponsonby-wards. The fire-bells clanged out the alarm, but ere the Fire Brigade had time to reach the scene of the fire—a large house in Hepburn-street, in course of erection for Captain Elliott—the flames had gained too great an ascendancy to be subdued. Attention waa therefore turned to saving the residence of Mr Thos. Macky, which the flames continually threatened. Wet blankets and other appliances were called into requi sition, and a good stream of water soon dispelled the danger. In the lucoutime Captain Elliott's house was burn ing fiercely, the shavings, etc., incidental t> building operations,increasing the volume of the flames. In less than an hour from the first discovery of the fire the house was level with the ground. The building, a two-story edifice of fourteen rooms, built on a brick base, was within a day or two of completion, but was not out of the hands of the builder, Mr James Pooley, of Ponsonby. It was insured by means of a builder's policy in the Colonial Insurance Co. for the sum of £1,000. About one-half of this is re-insured, The origia of the fire is a complete mystery. Mr Pooley was on the premises up to six o'clock, but detected no sign of fire.

WAIUKU AND ONEHUNGA S.N. COMPANY.

TllK annual general meeting of tho Waiuku and Onehunga Steam Navigation Company was proceeding at the office of the company, O-Chunga,, when wo went to press. The business included the reading of the report and balance sheet, appointment of two directors and auditors, and the considera tion of the advisability of expunging clause 10 in the articles of association.— It appeared from the statement of ac counts that the amount paid for wages, water, coals, supplies, &&, was £1,729 17s sd, which with £32 4s 2d, £17 written off for stoamer, and £522 Is Id balance in bant, made a total of £2,301.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.

Considerable exsitement was caused in Owen-street about two o'clock yesterday afternoon, when it was reported that a bushman named McGivcn had taken poison. From inquiries made, it appears thatMcGiven, who served with the Thames Volunteers at the Front, but who belonged toWanganui, had made the acquaintance of a young woman named Birdwood, who bad slighted him, and on his return on Saturday from Bagnall's mills, where he had been working, he sought an interview with bet, but appears to have received no consolation at her hands, as he soon after announced his intention to take poison. In order to carry out hia intention ho appears to bavo be. come possessed of some strychnine or other deadly poison, and then to have set about writing his last ivill and testament. One epistle he addressed to his father in Wanganui, and tho other to the Sergeant of Police, Thames, informing them 6t his diabolical resolve, and the cause which led to the rash act. These letters he gavo to a little girl to post, and at tho same time informed her of his intention, ihia took place at the house of Mrs Richards, next the Governor Bowen Hotel, where bo was lodging, and a person living there ob served him swallowing from a bottle a few minutes before he was seized with fits and'became insensible. Medi cal assistance was at once called in. and the young man was removed 18 the Hospital, where everything was done to save life. Upon enquiry last evening wu learn that he is recovering from the effects of tho poison, and an iufurination will be laid against him for attempted suicide. It is probable that he will be sufficiently re covered in a day or two to he brought be. fore the Magistrate to anßWerthe charge.— " Thames Advertiser."

V. Macdonald, general manager of the rail way, remembered the special train. The season tickets were not avail able that day. Defendant should have purchased an extra ticket for the course.

"I should biive no objection to my ■wife's reigning," said an affectionate hnsband, "if it were not for the fact that when fthe reigns she is apt to storm also." To the Editor: Sir,—ln the Stak of the 9th insi appears a letter signed "Lim Yot" re hawkers' licenses. This is only one out of many cases that could be brought forward. Last February, a friend of mine visited Mahnrangi with goods for sale (he having taken a license out in Aucktend for hawking), and offered his goods at Wark worth for sale. He was askedl for £4 license fee for Rodney county. Then he proceeded to Pahi, &c. Memiia««n asked for £5 license fee, and told if he went into Waipu another fee would have to be paid to Wnngarei county. Now, sir, why can not a hawker's license be obtained in Auckland, and allowed to serve any where in New Zealand. Bach couuty Council appears at present to put on any amount they thipk fit; and taking the North of Auckland, each county charges a fee of £5 yearly. £30 a year ia a monstrous sum for a person to pay for the privilege of selling a few goods here and there.—Yours, -&C, KAIPARIAN.
