The two Volunteer companies :"jjfo 'been recruited to their maximum :'"fcngth, and the Rifle Rangers have op '•tiled to Government to increase thoir tranbeTS to 100 or 150 men.

OPERA HOUSE.-"Lady Clare."

Under the above title a dramatisation in five acts of Ohnet's celebrated novel, " Le Maitre dv Forge," was presented at the Opera Houso last night, and played with much buccosh. There is nothing original about either plot or dramatis persona, but the former is evolved with tho aid of a sequence of strong situations which fully sustain the interest of tho audience. It is rather an old story conventionally treated. A titled lady bestows her hand upon a wealthy commoner in order to colour with rraiscmblance her pretended indifference to a libertine cousin's rejection of her in favour of the daughter of an Ameri can millionaire. Immediately after the marriage ceremony, however, her real feelings towards her husband discloso them solves, and the; enter upon lifo as man and wife in name alone. While travelling upon the Continent the cousin who had jilted the unhappy wife follows hard upon her hools to Dieppe, forces an interview, and then, in order to contrive a duel, insults the hus band. The challenge is promptly accepted and a meeting arranged. At the critical moment the wife appears suddenly upon the scene, rushes between the duellists as they raise their pistols to fire, and receiv ing the bullot of her cousin in her arm, saves her husband's life. The heroic act does not heal the estrange ment between husband and wife, for the former accepts hor interposition as fresh proof of affection for her former lover. They return to England, and the cousin,stili imagining that he is beloved, snatches another undesired interviow with the wife, and then learns from her own lips j her scorn and detestation ot him, and her avowal that her interference was solely prompted by regard for that husband whcee nobility and tenderness have won her love. The husband hears the unexpected declara tion, and with the expulsion of the villain and the reconciliation of the estranged pair thedramafittinglyends, MissdoGreyplayed the part of Lady Clare with considerable histrionic ekill, and costumed it most taste fully. Her forcible acting in thp leading situation evoked the cordial plaudits of the entire house, and the high appreciation of the audience was manifested by an emphatic call of Miss de Grey and Mr Hilton before the curtain at the end ef each act. In im personating the part of John Middleton, the plebeian husband, Mr Hilton, wko is always reliable and rarely at fault, was dig nified, but rather too cold and constrained for a lover. Miss Cowe'.l as Melissa Sma'e, tho coronet-hunter, made a decided " hit," Mr Brodie's Hon. Cecil Brookfield, a pre cocious Eton boy, was another very success ful portraiture, and with Miss Goddard, whoso girlish figure and manner admirably suited the rOle of Mary Middleton, he shared in the honour of a call before the curtain. So, too, did Mr Selten, who, as Lord Ambermere, the unscrupulous cousin, ap peared to better advantage than usual. Air Kinghorno sustained creditably the character of Gould Smalo, American mil lionaire, Mrs Walter Hill plajed with her accustomed ability as the Countess of Broadmeads, and Mr J. P. West, Miss Carrie Stewart, and Mr Franklyn in smaller parts acquitted themselves well. Miss de Grey as Rosalind To-nlgbt. This evening Miss de Grey takee a richly-deserved benefit, and the occasion will be marked by tho production of Shake speare's fascinating comedy," As You Like It," in which the fair beneficiaire will appear as Rosalind. The deserts of the lady should alone suffice to assure a bumper house, but the announcement of such a " bill" should make assurance doubly sure.

WYBERT REEVE COMEDY SEASON.

Wybert Reevi, the celebrated comedian and litterateur, arrives with a strong and specially-selected dramatic company by the next steamer from Sydney, for the purposo of inaugurating a four weeks' season at the Opera House on Thursday next. A great treat is in store for local playgoers. Mr Reeve has attained eminence and achieved success not only as an actor, but as lessee and manager of theatres, as a play wright, and as an author. Some of his pieces, such as " Won at Last" and Not So Bad After All," have had continuous runs of upwards of a hundred nights at the Surrey and other theatres in Lon don. He is a member of the Dramatic Authors' Society, and besidos the pieces mentioned has written comediettas, farces, pantomimes, a fourth-act comedy-drama called "Parted," "The Better Angel, another four-act play, and "Sundered Lires," a popular novel. His first appear ance on the London boards was at the Lyceum Theatre in October, 1869, as John Mildway, and afterwards at the Olympic he assumed the part of Fosco inWilkie Collins's drama of " Tho Woman in White, and has since played it in the United King dom, Canada, the United States, and Aus tralian colonies more than 1,800 times. He is admitted to be one of the best comedians now on the stage, and a respected member of the profession to which he belongs. In appearance, he is rather above the middle height, stout, and possessing very mtellec tod features. The Sydney "Echo says of him :-" No actor-if we except the late Charles Kean-has had such entri into our vice-regal and influential family circles throughout Australia as Mr Reeve. He is also a member of the Melbourne and Sydney Clubs." -
