BANQUET TO MR BRYCE.

He Repudiates a Charge of shooting Women.

[BY TELEGRAPH. - PRESS ASSOCIATION.]

NEW PLYMOUTH, this day. THE baoquet last night to the Hon. Mr Bryce, was very numerously attended, and if was past midnight before it came to a Close. The Mayor presided. Mr Bryce spoke several limes during the evening, in replvin" to various toasts. In responding to his own health, he spoke for nearly three-quarters of an hour, defining the policy he had adopted in native affairs. Re spoke to the colony, but it is impossible . w give even substance in a brier summary. He sympathised with the settleis in their complaint at being slandered by the Southern parts of the colony, but said that those who wrote the slanders neither kne» thedi-trict or the people. He referred to a book recently published en titled " A History of New Zealand,' 1 iv which it stated that during ISC9 he (Mr Bryce) murdered women and children, He had not seen the book, but should take steps against the slanderer. He asked them if they had ever heard of him doiug such a thing, which he publicly deniid, and branded the author of the book as " a liar a slanderer, and a coward." Ho re forred to some remarks of the lute Bishop Selwyn, who wrote in defence of the Euro pean settlers' treatment of the native race. Mr Bryce then reviewed what had been done by his Government in the settlement of native affairs, and showed that he acted as any other man would have done towards Te Kooti, if he had been placed ia the same position. He prai.-ed the conduct of the native chief who had taken part in releasing Messrs Hursthouse and flewsham, and said if the amnesty proclamation had not been issued would fe Kooti have act^d in the noble manner he had dove. He said that the King country was now opened to Europeans, aud there would be no further obstiuction to surveys, loads, or mil ways. He said that the difficulties which had arisen at Cam bridge had been through the legal profes sion prolonging cases in some instances till the coats had absorbed the whole value of the land in dispute. V. c concluded by saying that the time would come when the Maori could be trusted as any European, when they would be governed without any special laws, or havo other than European courts to apply to. In replying to the toast of "The Minis'ers, Mr Bryce said, in reference to Major Atkinson's 'National Assurance" scheme, that although the Major was a littie premature—a century too soon per haps—yet a scheme for the relief ol poveity something similar to the one proposed, would in time be generally adopted throughout the world he believed. In proposing the Mayor and Borough Councillors, Mr Bryce said that although a Waupanui man still he was a New Zealand colonist, and the prosperity of one place was as much interest to him as any other.

Mr flutsthoiis'e, in responding to tie toast, said he was under a debt of gratitude to the chiefs Te Wetere and Te Kooti, who, had they been European friends of his, could not have treated him in moro thought ful and kindly a manner when he was re leased from the fanatical Maoris who had tied him and Mr Newshamup.

Major Brown, in replying for the Colonial Forc'jK, said Governor Go. don knowing be (Mr Brown) had lett the Colonial Service as Kative Commissioner, had sent an aid-de camp to him in hopes of obtaioing grounds to bear out the assertions made again?t the Ministry regarding the treatment of the natives, but he had declined to sati-fy him, for although he (Mr Brown) was a loyal subject of the Imperial authorities, yet he cousidered his loyalty was due to the colony first.

OPERA HOUSE—Jennie Lee as "JO."

THE new dramatic season was inaugurated last night by the Jennie Lee Company with a house crowded to excess. Public expec tation evidently ran high with resptct to the dramatisation of " Jo," and the leading lady's portraiture of the title role, but i 1 could not have exaggerated the merits of the performance. anticipatory notices arc usually indulgent, but, in this instance, not one word of extravagant or superfluous praise has been bestowed, and the critics are in the unique position of finding that the result has transcended the promise. The construction of a playable drama from the works of a popular novelist is, at best, only a comparative success, and it is to Mr Burnett's credit that his adaptation from "Bleak Louse' is so skilfully done as to afford people unac quainted with the novel an insight into the purport of the story, although the piece necessarily partakes of a sketchy character. The whole interest is concentrated upon "Jo," the crossing-sweeper, and he ia mads the central figure around which the other personages revolve. It is not often that Buch a strong acting company comes so far afield. Every member seems to have made a special study of his part under tlm instruction of en experienced master, and the support accorded to the principal is therefore powerful, and in the highest degree effective. Of Miss Lee's "Jo," it would "bo difficult to speak with any adequacy of praise that would not seem to the non-playgoer charged with fulsome adulation. It is a picture of startling vivid ness, from real life, and the mimetic art which depicts the speech, the action, the pathos, and the humonr of the subject, is art of the truest kind—the art which con ceals itself. The individuality of the actiess is for the time completely sunk in hes conception, Dickens' strange and piti ful creation stands embodied to the visual senee.uaassociated with any reminder of unreality, and the mind of the spectator can be easily swayed by the illusion. At a glance, the realism of the picture perceived and comprehended. The "make-up" itself \U a;marvelof verisimi litude. ■• "Jo" appears before us in the veritable dress with which his illustrious author has clothed him—a ragged apology for a shirt, torn into a hundred tatters, and stained with the mud and dirt ot a street nrftb'B daily life, treusers in rags, shoeless feet, .unkempt hair crowned by some ancient fragment of a hat, and a face pre* tarnaturally sharp and wide awake, He car ries a small b^om, and Dickens own des cription fits him perfectly—" Very muddy, very hoarse, very ragged,!' The .actress's petite figure is an adventitions item in her favour, and her talent is un doubted. She has features of great mobility, and the play of expression upon her face is perfect, while her voice has a boyish ring about it, toned down, however, by that hoarseness which is so characteristic of the class of which "Jo" is a type. The quick, restless attitudes, the rapid transitions of feeling, the suspicions alarm, the uncon scious, sharp humour, and the repressed ebullitions of childish grief, are true to nature and strikingly consistent. Again and again the actress proved the potency of her spell upon the audience by displaying the perfections of hor impersonation, lhe solicitation, " Gie ns a copper, sir ; gie us a copper, sir, won't ye," with its sustained crescendo of scornlni . and angry dis appointment upon the - last words, was an example of how careful the portraiture was iv detail as it ia iv outline, and the abrupt change of mood ftotn the .deep sorrow of the lad pointing out the •grave of his unknown friend to his eager ifipriOßity at the discovery of a foraging mt \Was another instance of: the tame exactitude of mimitiae; It may be imagined, then, • how. paiofally realistic were the closing scenes, .and'the moist and tearfdl .eyes -which looked down from all parts of the house upon the last struggle was no maudlin expression of easily-moved sentimentality, We have no room in this issue for a review of the other characters. Suffice it at pre sent to say that they are all marked by more than the average ability, while Miss Lee's "Jo "is only equalled by Fred Mar shall's memorable delineation of " Quilp." After last night's performance, there surely cannot be any need for hesitation in pre dicting a long and prosoerous season for this very efficient Company.

Re John Lb-dof, a debtor.—ln this matter Mr E. Cooper applied on behalf of the debtor, i'or an order declaring the deed of arrangement completely exe cuted.—Order made.

Re Geo. Lbndrum.— Mr Browning, for Mr Tyler, applied ou behalf of the trustee, for directions as to the application of a certain sum of money in his hands, derived from the estate of the above debtor. It seemed from the affidavit of the trustee, that after the debtor filed and leccived his discharge in 1878, and that in March last the' trustee found ' that he had owned a certain piece of land at Fukcatua which he did not include in his assets. The trustee thereupon sold it to one William Wilson for £47 5s but after the conveyance had been made and signed, a person named R. Masefield turned up, showed that Len drum mortgaued the land to him lor the sum.of £32 10s in August last year, and claimed repayment of his loan, with interest added. Hence the trustee's application for advice and ' direction,—lt was adjourned nhtil the first banco sitting after His Honor's return from the Court of Appeal. Re Thomas St-adman (arranging debtor).—Mr ir. Hesketb, on behalf of the trustee, moved for an order, declaring that the lease for 10 years of premises in Queen, street from William Mears is part of the estate vested in the trustee under the deed of arrangement. Tbe^ order was made; costs as agreed upon—viz., £7 7».

Plaintiff is a sheep farmer at Poverty Bay. This action was brought last year with the object of securing a re-conveyance of certain mortgaged lands which Messrs Coleman and Clarke (as trustees in G. E. Read's estate) had sold for £25,000 to Messrs Rees Wt Pere, the, suras advanced on them amounting to £28,460; The plaintiff, in his declaration, affirmed that a few days previous to the, sale agreed to a three yesrs'- extension of his ' mortgages, and then suddenly disposed of them and ho de clared that the land being represented was fraudulently sacrificed to Messrs Roes and Wi Peri,, its real value being £100,000. The declaration wail filed in July last year, and since then no stop has been taken ,in the matter.'
