For somo reason or other thpse two canvases have an old look about thPtn (which no doubt is ouly apparent and not real), ai if they were executed years ago and varnished up. Mr 1 h. Drumniond has eight or mac nicturcs'in the present exhibition, and one Lonot help remarking that in all he m- Aalocs in an inordinate amount of Antwerp line the use of which has undoubtedly be- Ine a confirmed habit with him. We' Mlied attention to this prevailing tint a v'ear a°o, but we do not perceive that Mr Dmmraond has made mud ift'ort to alter H Another defect is apparent in mo>t of the work of this artist, viz., a darkness in thfl middle foreground. In 10S, "Te Aroha from Waihu Kiv<r," this fault is bsent' Mr Drummond's bebt, to cur Lenient, is No. 5, " Karaka Creek, f homes " It is a pretty scene, with a mill of some sort la the left forepround hills rising from tbe stream to right and left. Here: the light is brought in with skill and effect by meana of the bare cliiT to tlio right. Tim whole of Mr i>i ummond's pictures have a jtrong family likenc-s, recognisable at first fiance. Mi: A fetuart is an artist who contributes lavely; and his productions all possess a nl»in resemblance one to another. It re nnires no catalogue to tell that one and the ."unehand turaed out 15, 24, 25, 34, 36, 45, 93 74, and 54. Their faults lie on the surface, They are decorative pieces, unooth, tolerably effective at a distance, bus too much like those cheap German canrases produced by the thousand. Mr Stuart seema to require a closer acquaintance with Nature; and it can hardly be a question that lie paints too much. Less work'and more care will pay better. Greater pain* bestowed would help to get him out ot the still and formal habits now disfiguring his be t work. His drawing of trtc ferns is inaccurate. The fronds look like the flukes of anchors more than anything else. We do not wish even to seem severe with Mr Stuart, and we hope the gentleman will take what we have said in the spirit in nhich it is tendered.

Mr W. J. Wild, a beginner, scuds two creditable views taken at the North Shore, Nos. 70 and 76. There is decided promise ia both. Mr F. Whitcombe's picture, No. 61. "The La«t Gleam, Mangaho Creek," was favourably noticed by us some time ago. ■Ihere ure three or four pictures by ivJr C. J. Smith, the best of which is No. 1, '•Beach at Ostend." It is a rough, wild day, the waves are rolling in on the shoro, the aky looks lowering and full if ruin, and a steamer, presumably fiotu England, is nisking for the harbour's mouth. JSos. 54 and 3S do not reach so hijjh a standard. in Mr Albin Martin's familiar style thero are a number of work s, two of them in tent pern This ccntlemau haa been so long be ire the Auckland public tbat it is unneccs eary to describe his canvases. It is even superfluous to say that they are each and all the productions of an artist long skilled in his craft. Of t*o little pictures by Mr J. McPnrr son we prefer JSo. 38, "bt. Andrew's Cathedral," which displays a carefully painted rain, consisting of a tall tower supported at the base by crumbling arches. Vo, 72 is a view from the sea of ht. Andrew's Castle. Mr Barraud'a portraits of two dogs, "PnnchandFif" (No. 42), is a successful peiformance. Tho pug, which stands up behind the other, apparently a native of the land of cakes, is especially true to life. All the points which a fancier expects to find in a thorouahbrcd pug will be discovered here. ....

We have yet to notice the work by ladies which adorns the walla of tho Choral Ball; and we trust we shall not hs condemned as guilty of impoliteness or disrespect in re serving them to the end of this first report. Mrs J. M. Ulatk has contributed five 6tndies in oils, two 0! whish are companion pictures of tree 3, NO3, 10 and 17. ''be former has in the foreground a Scotch Fir, and the latter a Bitch, both true and realistic, In No, 27 Mrs Clark has treated with success a difficult subject, Xha mist is -well represented; the boat and the letreatiDg shorn fine are shown with their ptoper gradations of colour. "Snnset in the Glen" (No. 67) pourtrays tbe deep Btream bed, down which the water is conrsing; on the right rises a steep bank, whoe foJiage generally, and tho unmis tukeable sabbage tree, show the scene to ba one in JVew Zealand. On the left the evening glow throws a soft pleasing light o?erthe whole.

The Exhibition contains five fruitpieces, all of them by ledies. Those by Miss Craig [29 and 23) exhibit the most skill in drawing and colouring. Her grapes and pears are especially natural. Miss Tye contributes No 14, bnt has hardly been as successful as Miss Craig.

Miss A, Rue sell's views of Sydney Har bour (Nos. 13, 28, 53.) are proof of taste and latent. The same msy be .said of Miss Agnes Russell's sketch, No 81, a moon» light effect, Miss Baker's large canya?, No. 50, also a moonlight effect is promising. Tbe second bo^t ia tne distance, appears rather too large in comparison with the nearer one. A horse's he.id, No. 57, by Mies B. Baker is creditable. Two dogs heads painted on shell (Nos. 37 and 30) are byJMiss Chambers. Mrs Burcher Bends three, (Nos. 2, 68, and 110); of which we give the preference to the first name d entitled, " A Scene from .Faust."

Creditors' Trustee in the Estate of ihomas br.\y v. alex, cant, grace Cant, James Bray, and Thomas Bray. - Mr E. Hesketh appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr ij. Kochtort for the defendants. The latter gentleman applied for the post ponement of the case till the next Circuit sittings of the Co-.irt, firstly on the ground "that he had caught a cold in his cars which rendered him quite deaf for the time being," and secondly, " because an ap plication wai pending before the Governor in Council praying that the mutter might bo heard before another judge." —Mr Hesketh regretted that he had to oppose an application of the sort, when made upon the ground of personal iudispo-'itioD, but still he felt-bound to offer opposition inasmuch as there was no caso to be tried, iho facts stateil ia tbe declaration were admitted, while the . dtfence set up by the defendant was no , answer to the plaintiff's claim.—His Honor said ho had not now an opportunity of going through the pleadings, the now rule* preclud- ' ing tnat course, and therefore he knew ; nothing about the csse.—Mr flcsketh (umid i interruptions from Mr Kochfort) then pro- ' ceeded to state the facts alleged in the de- ; claratiou.

The learned gentleman i was entering more fully into the giounds i for the application but Mr Kochfort re- \ peatedly intenupted him, appealing alter- i nately to the Judeo against Mr Hc3- ' keth'd conduct as unprofefisional, and , seeking from Mr Cooper an explansi- I tion of what Mr Hesketh and hia ] Honor were saying, his deafness prevent- ( ing him fiom hearing either of them. —His f Honor aaid : Is it not apparent that this is i a case in which consideiable argument will i arise. He.-idi sit is not usual to oppose an application for postponement, when counsel puts it upon tbe ground ot personal tern- . porary illoe?s.—Mr Hcskoih submitted tbat J there was no material for a trial, andoftced to allow the postponement to take place,pro. vided it were agreed tbat he should obt.iin directions for moving for a decree, a question of law to bo stated.—Mr ' Bochfort demurred to this. Ho wiijberi for an unconditional postponement, nnd he 'I alleged thac Mr Macffurlano did not come s into the Court with clean hands — 1 that ho was not wholly unprejudiced s in opposing the application. After some 1' further confused discussion, • His Honor j said he was satisfied that the ground upon j which the application was put, viz.. per- o ponal inability, was sufficient to warrant jj him acceding to it.

THE OP ERA HOUSE.

" Anne Sylvester."

THE weathor wa3. anything but propitious last-evening on the occasion of the first pro duction of thi3 piece at tae Opera House, but notwithstanding the heavy downpour of rain, there was a good attendance, " Anne Sylves'er" is an adaptation by Mrs Lachlan McGowan from Wilkie Collins 1 sensational story of " Man and Wife." The opening act is rather tame, but the interest of the story having once been excited, is maintained through the whole of the play. Allthe moat effective situations have been retained, and towards tho conclusion tbo dramatic effect isconsiderably heightened by the power of tho adapter's pen. The part of Anne suited Miss Eloise admirably in every respect, and brought her powers as an emotional ac'ress into full play- Bishop briggs, the Scotch waiter, was a part which might have been prepared specially for Mr McGowao, co admirably were the inquisi tive traits of the old man's character depicted. Miss Greenless made a charming Blanche, while Geoffrey by Mr Russell, Mr Patrick by Ux Welsh, Perry by Mr Medu«, and Bunkworth by Mr Marshall were all fiirly represented. There was an evident want of preparation on the part of some of the performers, but thi3 will doubtless be remedied to-night, when the piece will be represented for the second and last time this season.

THE COLONIAL CUSTOMS RETURNS.

[BY TELEGRAPH.—PRUSS ASSOCIATION.]

WKLiiIiNUrOJS, this day. The Customs returns for the colony, for the tinancial year ending 31st March, have now Ken made public. The total amount of revenue was £1,490,943 2s lid, being a deficiency of £3,051 11s Id on the Colonial Treasurer's estimate of £1,500,000. The highest amouut collected in any one month was in September last, when it reached £140,080 14s Sd; the lowesf, £109 3G3 13s 3d, was collected in April, ISS2. The beer duty for last year was £62,GG4 Gs G>l, being a surplus of £2GG4 63 Gil over the Trcasmar's estimate; and this being deducted from the deficiency from Customs revenue leaves the total deficiency for the year from this branch of £357 10d 7d, which is con sidered most satisfactory. Tho Customs revt-nnc for the colony for the la*t month was £125,117 12* 3d, oud for the correspond ing month last year it was £140,892 Us 3d. Tim returns from the principal places were : Auckland, £25,786 ; Wellington, £19,452; Lyttelton nnd Chriatchuich, £19,553; Duncclin, £84,588. At each of them a deficiency is sduwh on the amount returned for ISS3. Tho beer duty for las'; month was £5,645 12* 4d, and for tho correspond ing mouth last year, £3,057 3a Od.

There was no sign of the b.s. Arawata from Qisborne and JTouthefn ports up to the time at which we went to press.

The 1 stores remained on the dray, but were of course greatly damaged by water. Mr McGregor himself had a narrow escape of his life. He'was shot out ot the punt with the dray, and was also carried down the stream, bus being a good swimmer, found his way to dry land on the other side of the river. Mr McGregor's brother awas also on tbo punt, and stuck to it, and as it lighted itsolt directly the horses and dray •were precipitate d into the rive -, he escaped without injury.

SCHOONER CLARINDA MIS SING.

flt is now 3t days since the schooae Clarinda left Greymouth for the Manukau, ccml-hden, and yet she has not been heard of during that time. The passage betwetn these two ports usually occupies about a Week, and it is therefore most probable that the schooner has met with some serions mishap. She may hnve been dis> masted duiing one of the rtcent storms experienced on the coast, and been blown , out to sea, in which case there would! remain a hope of her eventually turnirjg up I all safo, but otherwise the very lengthy pas- j sage cannot well be accounted for. When the Claiiadawnslastin theManukau, which was about two months ago, she was in charge of Captain A. L. Jael, well-known in this port, aud had the fallowing crew : — if, AwdeD, ¥. liokmaii, A.

On this point however, we have no definite informa tiou. '1 he Clarindii is a new topsail schooner of 125 tons register built by Messrs Hender sonandSprnggon about twelve monthsagofor Mr C. 13 ytone, at Auckland. Slie has since been trading on the Kcw Zcalaud coast, aud was looked upon as a staunch soa-b.)at, well adapted for the trade in which she has been i njjaged.

A three-masted schooner is expected to have arrived in harbour just as we go to press. She ia believed to be fiom the Islands,

Tho buslnoaa ot the Suez Canal ia in croasinw at such a rate that it is earnestly considered to build a parallel canal, so as to enable vessels to pas q in ono direction only i D oooii. ii wus at nrst tnougut me tuo present canal would bo widened 100 feet at an iucoiifidorable expense, but upon closer inspection it was found that the sand, scooped out of the trcuch for tho fust cana), was piled on eitbor eiclo, where it lies In a ridge ot,small niountaica on the bunks. Several sidings are in course of construction, but they arc at the bo t only makeshift?, and it is quite probable that a new canal will be commenced in a very short time. Ferdinand de Lessep?, when he built the present canal, had not only the utmost confidence in its success but prophesitd that in a few years it would be inadequate to accommodate tbo trailic, and tMs prophecy has been fuliilled, even beyond h's expectations.

Sir William Harcourt is complimented l>y British papers as being the first Homo Secretary who has had the good sense to recognise the claims of the working classes to be represented on important commis sions by members ot tbeir own community une of his first acts was to appoint a wondng man to an inspectorship of fac. toiios, and he has recently given further evidence of his dtaire to do justice to the interest* of labour by appointing two repre sentative woikmen to visit and inspect the convict prisons in the vicinity of London, The request was made- by the Amalgamated Cab-drivers' Society, which claimed that in the interest _of prisoners of the working class, a periodical infection of prisons should be made by re presentative woiknien, "cognizant of the wants, habits, and failings ot their class, in order that while incarcerated they should not be subjected to undue severity or unjust trea'ment of any description at the hands of the ollicials." As prison oJUoiaU for the most part are ponions of military training and sympathy, tha suggestion wjs nn im portant one, and its adaption by Sir Wil liam llarcourt is certain to ba productive or some good.
