OPERA HOUSE.-"The King's Dragoons."

This opera was repeated for tho last timo yesternight, and, as on previous occasions, met with a hearty recoption. Mr Knight Aaton sang with considerable effect the song "My Sweetheart andM y King," and with Miss Ivanova and Miss Leaf, divided the vocal honours of the evening. The " Quadrille "again convulsed the audience with inextinguishable laughter, and, as usual, the performers had to accede to a rapturous encore. Miss Leafs Benefit To-night. Miss Annie Leaf takes a well.c'eserved benefit to-night, on which occasion Offen bach's captivating opera, "Barbe Bleuo " ("Blue Beard") will be produced. It has not been presented in Auckland since Miss Alice May was here, some ten years ago.and consequently is but slightly known. Many able critics prefer it to any of Offen baoh-> other works, not even excepting "La Grande Duehesso," and it certainly has achieved very considerable popu larity wherever it has been performed. The music is light, playful, and fascinating, and the libretto is highly amusing, while the plot has very little in common with the familiar nursery story.. In it Blue Beard, instead of being a remorseless ogre, js represented as a handsome Lothario—in fact, a masher of tho most approved stamp. Mr Knight Aston is cast for the part.and as ho hns played it with marked success throughout England and America, a big '' hit'°may safely bo anticipated. The mpsic affords him an opportunity for the display of his fine resonant voice siich as he has not yet had in Auckland, and tlio rOle being thoroughly congenial in this respect, he will sustain it con amore. Miss. Leaf ap pears as Boulottc, and may also be expected to carry the house with her. Tho lady has special claims upon the consideration of the Auckland public. She was a strong favourite in the days of her amateurism, ipid during her absence' the 014 popularity has jn nowise waned. The per formance is under the patronage of Mr Justice Gillies, the Mayor and City Coun cil, and a committee of loading citizens, and tho public, we anticipate, will not bo behindhand in evidencing their patronage also by .their prosence to-night in numbers large enough to crowd tho houso to tho doors, ■

The f Thames Advertiser " of yesterday thus alludes to a contemplated change : — Mr E. T. Brassey, who has been attached to'the staff of the Bank of New Zealand for a considerable time past, is under marching orders, and is likely to leave tho Thames to morrow. We understand that ho is about to bo transferred to the Inspector's depart ment at the Auckland branch, and receive a merited promotion. Mr Brassey has taken on active part in athletic and aquatic mattcr3 during his residenco in the district, and his departure will be especially regretted by the latter section of the com munity.

A meeting of tho Devonport Naval Artil lery was held last evening, when Captain A D. Bennet sent in his resignation, which was accepted. Mr W. H. Fen ton was olected to fill tho vacant position. Mr C. C. Dacre was appointed First Lieutenant, Mr Garrard Sub-Lieutenant, and Mr G. Niceol Betty Officer. The election of other potty' officers was postponed till next ordinary meeting. Tho moonlight parade was a great success, and was witnessed by a very large number of residents.

. The tender of Messrs Smith and Beattio (£1,278) to erect a block of shops in Hobson street, opposite the Scotia Hotol, has been accepted by Mr Grey, architect. Tho block will bo subdivided as follows:—A. double shop for Mr Batkins and two single shops for Mr Evans. The plans for the temporary church te be used by the congregation of St. Paul_s are being prepared by Mr Skinner, architect. When the new permanent church is erected, the. building will bo utilised as a_ school room. The temporary church will cost £1,000, and will .seat 400.persons..v. a ■<■>"■'-

MOORE AND TOWNSHEND'S CREDITORS.

lively Proceedings.

An adjourned meeting of tho creditors of Moore and Townshend was liDld at the ollice of tlio OHicial Assignee this morning, tho OHicial Assignee presiding. There wero also present :—Mr Cave (solicitor for the Assignee), Mr S. E. Hughos (solicitor for the bankrupts), Messrs John King, Harkis, Plumley, Slater, and other creditors.

The Assignoe explained that the meeting had been called by him at the request of several creditors, Tbo object of the meet ing had not been explained to him. Mr King explained that the intention of the creditors who had called tho mooting was to ascertain fiomMrCave thoaction to bo taken by the creditors in prosecuting the bankrupts, a resolution to that effect having been carried at a previou. meeting. After some desultory conversation, Mr King moved, "That tho Official

Assigneo bo authorised to tako two tost cases into Court in the matter of Moore and Townshend's bankruptcy, with tho view to getting n decision as to what constitutes fraudulent preference." This was seconded by Mr Harkis, who, with the mover and Mr Slater, signed a paper expressing their willingness to contribute their quota of the expenses of the prosecution—£2o—if it could not be got out of the estate.

Mr Hughes said ho would oppose tho estato being wasted in that manner. Tho Assigtieo then proceeded to put the resolution to the meeting. The majority of tbo creditors presont voted for it, but Mr Hughes produced a large number of proxies. Amongst thoso who voted against the reso lution was Mr Plumloy.

Mi- King : At a previous meeting Mr Hughos gavo his word as a solicitor that Mr Pluraley would not prove against tho estate. Mr Hughes : Nothing of tho kind ! Mr King : I appeal to Mr Harkis, who was present, if what I say is not corroct. Mr Hughes distinctly pledged his profes sional word that Mr Plumloy would not prove. Mr Harkis : I understood it as such. Mr Hughes : Tbo account was not made up then. I- said that Mr Plumloy would not prove for tho i'UOO against tho estate. Mr King: I must again demur to tho assertion. I remember distinctly that Mr Hughes stated Mr Plumloy would not prove.

Mr Plumley : ho more I havo ! What I proved for is over and above tho £GOO, for supplied to tho linn.

Mr Slater here mudo a remark to tho effect that as Mr Hughes hud all tho proxies, thoy might as well put on their hats and go.

Mr Hughes : I would not havo got the proxies if Mr King had not stopped my mouth at a previous meeting.

Mr King : I am glad I did it, too. Mr Hughes : But you can't do it this time.

Tho Official Assigneo then read tho minutes of the meeting, at which Mr King had asserted that Mr Hughes hud said Mr Plumloy would not prove ngainst the estato. It bore out Mr Hughes's assertion. Mr King : I was not nt the meeting whon that minute was confirmed. Had I boen here I should havo objectod.

Tho Assignee then declared tho motion lost.

Mr Slater said ho was prepared to test tho caso as a private individual. Ho then remarked that they could do nothing, as Mr Hughes had all tho proxies.

Mr King: No, not all. He did not get ono from a creditor in Fort-street.

Air Hughes : Tho man in Fort-street has boon through tho mill himself.

Mr King]: He is ns honourable n man as there is in Auckland. Mr King then pro ceeded to criticise Mr Hughes's conduct strongly. Several meetings hud boon held, and now, at tho last moment, Mr Hughes camo forward with them.

Mr Hughes then moved that tho resolu tion passed at a former meeting rogardin. the prosecution be rescinded.

Mr King: I don't know of any language strong enough to condemn Mr Hugne«. After live or six meetings ho conies und sweepso vcrything away (thumping tbu tablo violently.) I say that—- Mr Hughes.: Yes, I gavo yon rope enough. Mr Cave bore interjected that this was a special meeting, and Mr Hiighi>'. motion could not bo moved without notice. Mr Cave then withdrew, having to attend the District Court.

After Bomo further bickering, the pro ceedings terminated, Mr Slater paying that ho was a poor man, but ho would givo £40 to prosecute tho bankrupt..

Railway Reform.-Reply to "Scrutator

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—"Scrutator" thinks Iliad better leavo the railways to those who understand them. Ipresuniehemoans the Railway Department, to which he evidently belongs. He may take my assurance that 1 will not do so. ''Scrutator" affords a striking example of the truth of my statement, that tho Department do not know what thoy ure about, for it is very evident ho does not know what "differential rating " means, but confuses it with the dif ferent rates charged for the different classes of goods. 1 have never advocated a uniform charge for nil classes. " Differen tial rating" means charging different prices for the conveyance of the same class of articlo, on different portions of tho lines, and charging for the sumo class of article one rate this week and another the next; and to one man ono price, and to another a different pi-ice for the same service ren dered. To this system I am most bitterly opposed. As to the chaff, it is weight, not space, that causes tho wear and tear on a railway. With refcronco to the rates on tho Waikato line, I am quite aware of the competition of the Waikato boats, but I say that that does not justify tho Government in doing an immoral action— one which tho British Legislature has re peatedly declared to be illegal. In England, the Rangariri man could recovor 7s od on every ton of goods of class D that he re ceived. —I am, ifca,

Died in the Streets.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Another poor dying man turned away from that grand institution, tho Auckland Hospital, This case speaks loudly to tho public for funds for enlarging the Hospital, and they wIH contribute for such a purpose if asked without tea meetings, rallies, &c. But a dying man has such a round of charitable people to go to before ho is admitted or refused. This is tho round I went with a poor old man whom I hud bofrionded, but wus nnnblo to do more for:—To the Secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, sont with v note to the Relieving Olßcor ; told to go and ask tho resident surgeon if thoro was any room; answer, " no room." Got the "straight tip" elsewhere to go and get an order from ono of our merchant princes who contributes annually. It wus done, and admission to tho Hospital given, and tho poor man died a lingering death " insido " becauso ho hod learnt how to pull tho bobbin of tho door of morcy. Lot us build additions and contribute liberally for such a noblo object, but let dying mon and women bo admitted without having to wait for an official envolopo, rod tapo, and soaling wax. —I am, etc., A Human- Bkinu.

Sunday Trading and Sunday Labour.

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Mr A. Campbell's letter re " Sunday concerts" is extremely one-sided, as woll as superficial, inasmuch as the two matters of Sunday trading and Sunday labour aro entirely ignored. During tho six days of labour, man waits on his follow man, and which constitutes the brotherhood of mutual

industry, adding to tlio gonoral prosperity and happiness of all. One of tho glorious distinctions, however, of tho duy of snored rest ,is, that man is, to a very con siderable extent, and in many instances, almost I'ntiroly frco ot Ms follow man n* it. regards labour und trading. Is it imt also noticoablo that in the vory I'tiiiillcHt "attempt to secularise any portion 1.1 I In- Sabbath Day, tho working classes, iio.h male and fomalo, aro always the first ■uilh.l upon to sutler. This usually com .nenoes with tho special hiring of cabs, luises, ferries, railways, kc, and certainly bofore tlio o-porienco of twolvo months was ended, numurou. other branches of em ployed labour, direct and indirect, would be added to tho list. Of oourso, Rationalism rejects tho inspired motto, "As yo would that men should do to you, do yo also to them likewiso ;" henco the uttor sollishncss displayed in the inevitable robbery now ro forrcd to. Thon concerning trading : If the door is but onco sot open for Sunday trading in rocioationsaiulnmiisemonts.itmay readily bo concludod that it will soon bo found equally open for all other departments of trading also. Why not? This is only natural, as woll as fair. Thoro are not a few who would bo found quito ready to adopt Sunday as a day for thoir personal aggrandisement, if only meeting with suffi cient support, Tho assertion that people aro font, of music, and therefore should have it puro on Sundays, is no argument whatever, for are there not 20 other objects which people thoroughly onjoy on week days which could also bo brought forward . No, sir; any attempt at thus reasoning away tho present Christian Sabbath is but an empty farco, for all intelligent working men will remember only too well tho valuo of their present "one day in seven" to hold to it as loosely as Mr A, Campbell or any of his views suggests. Noblo working-men will rather grasp it all tho more tightly and hold fast to its present integrity. If tho glorious British Christian Sabbath makes anyone fool uncomfortable, there is at any rate always tho choico open of making a rcsidonco in Lisbon, Brussels, or Vienna. When, howevor, reckless Rationalism would becomo impudently bold in trying in a British colony to destroy tho vory foundations of public morals, of social life, as well as both political and commercial weal, it may bo a cause for thankfulness 'indeed that there are Georgo 111. Acts, or any others beeido, however " musty " such may be regarded by some.—l am, kc, Public Wjsat..

Early this morning a firo broke out in a store nt Mokoraknra, four miles from G is borno, owned hy Mr L. I). Nathan, of Auckland, and occupied by Mr te. Mm- chie, formerly of Inveicurgill. Tlio place was completely gutted, nothing being saved.' t is supposed tho lire was caused by a spark from the fireplace or a piece of wood falling out. Insurances on stock—Victoria, £1,000; South British, i'oOO; Standard, iTiOO. Tho building was insured by Mr Nathan for i.'_._o, but tho ollico is unknown.

An accident occurred to a young man named Jones this morning at tho YVaitemata Hotel. Whilst currying a bucket of water upstairs his foot slipped, and falling, ho cut tho under part of his chin and dislocated his thumb. Jones not bearing the attornpt at its reduction woll, Dr. Wilkins gavo just a sufficiency of ether to annul tho pain, nnd then reduced it in a second. The twitch of putting tho thumb in immediately woke up Jones, who was astonished to sco his thumb in its propor position, and, as he says, without feeling a spec of pain. The whole proceeding of giving the ether (which the doctor says is as safe as water), reducing tho dislocation, and his awakening, could not have exceeded v minute.
