[FROM ODE OWN COKKESPONDKNT.]

LONDON, December lU. ~ 'HE miserable poet or penny-a-liner who £ rat drivelled out the inconceivably irn- ' r ating doggrcl, commencing — j f Christmas comes but once a year, ! s And when it comes it brings good cheer. n an scarcely have realised what a hideous _ urse he was inflicting on an innocent pos- v erity, or I am sire that being a well- ~ ncaniug indiviin .1, he would tnere and t hen have put hh end to the poem by f levering his jugu ar, Evidently, however, 10 such thought entered the misguided } nan's mind, and thus it happens that for , 'ully six weeks towards the close of every . ,welve month, the confounded couplet t Chriatmas comes but once a year. And when it comes it brings good cheer, j s the bane and nightmare of many afflicted < .xistenccs. Personally, I am suffering f seriously from the versicle, and, in all pro- , bibility, shall continue so to suffer till . " Twelfth Night." puts an end to Christmas- , tide. Just at present . Christmas conies but once a year, And when it come. It brings good cheer, ia in full zenith of its annual efflorescence. One meets the rhymed platitude—state as a four-year-old fourpenny loaf—everywhere and ou everything. It wriggles and wreaks across ten thousand Xraas cards, confronts purchasers in large letters on all the shop windows, is the mainstay of scores of more or less apropos pictures in the illustrated paper journals, decorates the styes of the prize pigs at the cattle show, and meanders textually along the front of the choir gallery at Westminster Abbey. I might go on this same strain for at least a column, but the subject like tho couplet is wearing, and having growled my growl, I will, with your permusion, drop it. If present appearances are to be reli.d on we seem likely to have an English Chri.tma. of the good old kind—i.e., plenty of snow and ice, withfregucrit" nor'-easters." Now, no one acquainted with the pressnt writer can accu-e him of failing to appreciate the chastened joys of your truly melting Christ ina-tide in Now Zealand. Whether watch ing the Caledonian games at Duneden or partaking of tho kindly hospitality of a Canterbury squatter, or "striking" Snider ; or Jack Harris for a nice little "double" over the Auckland Cnp. and Steeple, I u.ually had what is termed a "good time" there. It must, however, be conceded that to experience all the varied and vivid de lights which go to make up a bona Jide Christmas holiday, ono requires to be in the old country. The very badness of the weather, e»en, ssems an item of enjoy ment, for with how"much greater gusto do we pile up the fire and sink into a luxurious arm chair with the last new novel from Madie's when the wind toughs dismally round your house and an icy sleet beats angrily against the windows. " But I Great Israel I " I hear my editor exclaim, "what confonnded nonsense is this? Do we pay the man to send us rotten reflections about Chiiattnas, which must ceitainly have occurred to Methu selah, if not to Fath.r Adam himself; or docs ho, can he, was he, Is he so paraly tidy drunk, as he calls time maunderings " Anglo-Colonial Notes?" "Sir," _ respond, assuming an air of dignity gcuerully !consider«d "fetching," "under tho influence of liquor I am not, though as tho writing indicates I have lunched well, aud port ion the top of champagne has sometimes b.cn known to produce a tem porary absratton of eve» the brightest in tellect ; still, to use the words of your favourite poet- Christmas comes but once a year. A»d wnen It oowes It brlnM—

Over the chorus of editorial aid sub" editorial b'aspbemy lik-ly to supervene at this crisis, I prefer to draw a veil—so let's do to.

A somewhat amusing advertisement (which, however, reflects "dimnition seriously," as Mr Mant.lini would say, on the antipodcean climate), has been going tbe round of the provincial press. It is a recommendation of a certain Page Wood cock's Wind Pills, and avers that persons intending to colonise either in Australia or New Zealand, should make a point of supplying themselves with this invaluable remedy, as (here cometh the insult) " the antipod.ean climate often super-induces flatulency." (N.B.—Query : Can the com piler of this artful advertisement have been told that colonials are given to " blowing ?" Mr and Mrs Hay return to the colony per P, and O. s.s. Nizam, on January 4th ; at least, such is their present intention. *' Tilllh " ridicules in no measured terms tub cjuv.uoroj _n-y urreriDgthi-ir bishopric to distinßuish«d churchmen like Canons Barry and Fleming. A colonial bishopric, Mr labouchere considers, is a very seedy sacredoial distinction, and hardly to be. compared with even a canon's stall in an Snellsb cothedral.

The first Australian and New Zealand mail by the dew French route (Marseilles and Mauritius, „c), leaves London on Tuesday next, the 19th inst, or foar days after tliis one, I fear it wIU be of hardly any u.e to N.Z., as the steaming line be^ tweeu Suez and Melbourne via Reunion, should occupy far longer than via GaUe, However, you will doubtless bear in mind o note the date of the French steamers' ar i vol and judge for yourselves,

EXTRAORDINARY CON FLAGRATION.

Destruction

of the Alhambra

lheatre.

Six Hundred Sufferers.

Your readers will have learnt by cable of tbe total destruction of tho world famous Alhambra Theatre by fire on the night of the 6th December, but save to those who knew the house, and could realise what a superb and yet terrible bonfire it would make, tho message cannot ruve conveyed much. The Alhambra was one of the largest and handsomest places of ammo men t in the metropolis, and only an hour and a half before the fire broke oat, ah audience numbering 2,203 persons were witnessing the play there. Cattle-show week usually fills all the theatres and music-halls, and the Alhambra was cer tainly no exception to the general rule. It would appo.r that the outbreak was dis covered in the two-shilling seats, or bal cony-stalls, opposite the stage, by Hut cbings, the chief fireman of the establish ment, who, with his assistants, en deavoured to extinguish the flames, which, . however, proved more than they could copo with. The following is __utchin_>s's account:— " At one o'clock in the morning my man had touched the clock downstairs set to show that he fire* man's duty was properly attended to, and then went on his round through the house. When he got on to the stagejhe found that the balcony Were alight. He came to the stage-door, and called to me,- "The fca'cony is alight 1" lat ence followed him and found it was so. I got a hydraut at one side to work, and then another on the other side, leaving my-man with one whilst I wont, to tho other. I had also sent a message to the Chandos-street fire station. My first object was to try and chectc the fira in the middle, but I found it was gaining on me, and that the whole place would shortly be alight, I thon ran up to the top of the buildiDg to rescue my wife and child, but the smoke nearly overcame us in getting down. I managed to push them out at a back door, and then went back to the hydrants. The Fire Brigade arrived, and tried all that was possible to prevent the fire getting full hold of the place. The glass at the back of the balcony stalls broke soon after their arrival, and the fire spread so rapidly after that that in less than a quarter of an hour the whole place was in flames," A Fire Brigade numbering 164 men and 28 engines wcro soon on the spot, and laboured hard, but ineffectually, to stop tbe spread of the conflagration. It was a bitterly cold night, the air being charged with icy moisture; still, tho tough weather which was prcs mly to set in with persistent severity was tor a while delayed, and the stars were shining through the clouds that drifted fast across the heavens, impelled by a fresh south-west wind that swept coldly across the open square, and drove the flames from the front to the rear of the building. When once the fire bad tpr. ad into the body of tha theatre, its work of destruction was rapid, notwith standing tbe gallant stand that was made against it by the brigade. Braver conduct has never been witnessed at a great fire than was shown by these men, whose dark forms, distinguish- ] able chiefly by their gleaming brisi hel- j met., were seen climbing and ..-panging wherever it wss possible for them to ven ture. Unhappily, their courage, coolness, ' and alert sUiil did not protect them from I injury, and two were fatally crushed by falling masonry, several others suffering seriously also. Wh.l. yet the flames were shooting up above the main building, be tween the flankiog minarets, tbe roof re mained ia position; but it fell at last, and a great mass of fire leapt up as from a vol

cano. The spectacle at this time was G _ ccedmgly grand, ilames pouring out .-a alltheiront windows simultaneously „._! the fiereo eruption from the crater left' _•- ' by the fallen r_of. Menaced with ruin tv poor inhabitants of several houses in iwf 6 ; street began moving their goods, _i.i 1 while they were so engaged, the aY thickened with heavy snow-clouds luri_. S I:i reflecting the fire, and the flakes ofsil fell larger and faster, mingling SxfiM showers of sparks that descended on ll m neighbouring roof., When the doom of.__ S theatre was sealed, the efforts of thebrWi 1 were obi, fly directed to saving the adiSi M property.
