SILVER MINING AT THAMES.

(BY TELEGBAt'ir. —OWN COKtvE'St'OSDEST),

TJiAmkm, this day,

TV.; experience of claim owners at ivaran gahako has proved that silver abounds in the lodes of that district, and an effort is about to bo made to turn this avgontifcr oua wealth to account. Tho shareholders of Woodstock Claim have determined to send a few tons of ore to the famous works at_ Swansea, Wales, and should the first shipiref.t prove remunerative, larger con signments will follow. A samplo of Wood stock stone, recently assayed in Melbourne, yielded at tho rate of 4(>'oozs. of eilvw to the ton, while a lodo in tho Qoidon Crown Claim has given 1,4000£5. to tho ton.

ABBOTT'S OPERA HOUSE.

"Tho Quoon's Favouvito."

i Tiif. chungo of fit tho Opera Hqusq last night drew a vary largo and highly appreciative -.tidienco, nnd tho result of tho performance was another stage triumph, ljoforo seeking to apportion tho civlit for tliia among tho artistes who woro included in the cast, tho play itself demands a word or two of recognition. It is tho latest and most suocoaeful English adaptation of Scribe's celebrated "LoVorrod'Ean," and wassnrdally written by Mr Sydney Grundy for Miss Ward, who produced it with pro noiinced success at tho Olympic Thoat.ro London, in Juno, ISS3. In tendency, character, and structure, it rigidly con forms to tho canons of true comedy, and comedy, too, of a high class. Tho plot resolves itsolf into a succession of artful intrigues and cunningly-devised sehomes between tho Ducho?3 of Marl borough on tho one part, nnd Mr St. John-afterwards Viscount Boling broko—on tho other, for ascendancy over tho credulous and vacillating Queen Anno. As reigning Court favourite tho Duchess is thohopoand salvation of tho Whig party and tho surptyof her illustrious husband's powor, and it is Bolingbroke's sedulous endeavour as lender of tho Opposition to undormino her inllueneo and destroy tho prestige sho has established. Fairly matched in ability, equally unprincipled, nnd both facile of in ventivo expedient as well as prone to Stratagem, tho antagonists carry on their contest of cross purposes with remarkable fines.se, nnd studied, if empty, courtesy. It is really a dramatic gamo of chess, in which check and counter-check alternate in rapid sequence. Adopting, howover, the simile which tho playwright himself suggests, it may bo described as a brilliant display of fonco, tho parties to which at first accept hit and thrust with charming good humour, but eventually, with tho buttons off their foils,sot thomselves to tho task of using every artifice nnd employing any possible feint to inflict n lasting wound. In this sustained, and highly uncertain combat, Bolingbroko at length vanquishes his opponent, partly through the unconscious agency of an' mrnblor Churchill named Abigail Hill, who supplants hor imperious relative in the monarch's affections, and partly, also, by means of Abigail's lovor, Ensign Masham, with whom ho cleverly compromises tho Duchess, besides arousing in her breast an unfounded suspicion against the Queen' 3 honour. Through the prearranged signal of "a glass of water," Bolingbroko check mates tho Duchess, and, for tho temporary want of a drop of ink for the royal pen to sign an important warrant, he is Jbimself check mated, only, however, by a consummate master stroke to givo to his fair adversary the coupde grace, and finish the strife. Historical facts, of course, aro set nt defiance in tho evolutiou of the comedy, and in theepiloguo tho author offers his plea for forgiveness. In keeping with the character of the piece and of tho personages who figure in it, tho dia logue is strongly flavoured with the Attic salt. It is pregnant with caustic epigram, piquant sally, stinging retort, and sarcastic repartee, while tho intermittent play of Jeux d'esprit keeps the auditor in a conataut state of tittilation. There are, too, on the Duchess's part flashes of angry invective and scornful wrath which bring out Miss Ward's capacity for powerful emotion into very strong relief. Her portraiture of the haughty lady, proud of her patrician station, resentful of interference with her domination over tho Quoon, vigilant to guard against deceit or treachery, and mockingly polite to her great rival, is really superb. In pose, carriage, attire and action she looks the character to the life, and whether in tho interchange of light or cutting badinago, the oxprcssion of defiant contempt, tho artful sup plication for royal pardon, or tho pnssionato remonstrance against a sudden abasement, sho exhibits histrionic talent of the highest order. The portraiture, in fact, is consistent and natural in evory phase of action through which it is carried, and tho polished manners and airy graces of a past ago, when deportmont and etiquette were tho surest evidences of breeding, are most cleverly simulated. No anachronism is committed even in the minutire of the mise en scene, for, down to the sanding of the writing, Miss Ward has taken caro to present a truthful picture. Of hor costumes it need only bo said that they aro works of art in themselves. Mr W. H. Vernon, as Bolingbroko, rises to tho level of tho lady in this play, and divides with her tho honours. The part aflfoids him afar better opportunity of e.xhibitinghi'" capa bilities than did that of Sir Horace Welby. He is courtly and polished to a degree, and as unscrupulous aa tho general run of politicians of his day. He is never sur prised into bad humour, but plays his pait in tho dialogue with subtle skill. Tho im personation was masterly. Miss Watts Phillips plays tho part of Abigail Hill with charming naivete; and Miss Voitch does not fail to bring Queen Anne's vacilla tion of purposo into strong reiief. Mr Montgomery is a fair Ensign Maeham. Tho play will bo repoated this evening, and will assuredly prove a great attraction.
