OPERA HOUSE.-"For Love or Money.

• jr B WtbKOT Reeve inaugurated his comedy \7Arn at the Opera House last night with '"^daotJon of Andrew Hnlliday's threo t comedy " For Love or Monoy." Thero __ a large attendance both below and IS-j^e stairs, and tho Company met with •parous reception. The play, though by ■^ means now, has novor before been '-rformod in Auckland, and therefore, "_ all intents and purposes, was a Anilinenovelty. In .cope and character it \_\m to the domain of light comedy, but work is marked by inequality If execution. The humour is so broad in L first act as to opproximate very closely tn farce, while in tho third act a scene 'A. -ojied by the incongruous introduction $ otherwise line sontimont from tho lips of .fashionable widow. As a natural con 'L,uenco,it foil flat and lifeless. Sonti raant is entirely out of placo m light Mmedy, nnc- tho moial it X lntended to „.-voy -hould be suggested rather than nrea-bed viva voce. In tho particular play _ndernotice,itssuccess depontls neither v pon brilliancy of dialogue, for that is rather cim-ionplaeo, nor upon sonsationalism of nlot for it partakes largely of the matter of-fact, but upon the manner in which the tiroleadtaß characters are portrayed. The -lay j 8 episodical in stylo. The first ict reveals Major Buncombo and his -rife, with their son and two daugh ter., steeped to the eyes in gontoel poverty and congenial (debt, and, as the only relief from thoir troubles, anxiously looking out for rich sonsin law. Incited I{~ marry, Clarissa, tho romantic, hooks a ipondthri-t with £3,000 a year, and Jemima, |he practical, throws herself away upon a «!«rk with £200. Act tho second shows the whole party at. Clarissa's mansion cele brating sumptuously the anniversary of her wadding, but it ends with the abrupt transition of a supposed menial into the nan in possession. In the third act the bailiff pursued relatives are found seeking rofuge under Jemima's humble root at CSmdeo town, and the play ends with tho Bidden bestowal of affluence upon horsolf gad husband. Thero is no mistaking the moral, via., that the girl who marries for love makes a better matrimonial invest ment than she who plights her troth for h 1 width alone. The part of Major Bun tombe forms the central figure of the ! comedy,'and in Mr Wybert lteeve's bands lit is a character Btudy of the most realistic 'description. There is no originality about the author's creation. It strikes jnß at once as an adaptation, and the source of inspiration is soon perceived ' tote Dickens with a flavouring of Lever. I Major Buncombe, by his family caros, ' chronic indebtedness, and plausibility of .tragus, suggests tho immortal Wilkins Jlicawber, and his military airs and conse quentialswagger can be derived from no l6_s .tpereonage than the Major Monsoon whoso ■portrait is so powerfully limned in "Charles .'-.alley." By Mr Reeve tho rOle is elabcr iitewith the utmost nicety and tho great it artistic skill. The portraiture is striking and irresistible. Its character is seen at a glance, and before a word is japst) the verisimilitude of tho likeness pvokes the audience to laughter. So it 'bippened last night. Directly Major Bun .cpmne appeared in tho stago doorway with ; lis shabby genteel stovepipo poised a la nilitaire on his well-oiled locks, his mous- ' iichioa waxed fiercely to their points, his ' brown overcoat buttoned closely down in hunt and scrupulously clean, and his buff : gaitera marking a contrast with his povorty • 1 stricken pants, he was hailed with a yell of ' ippreciative delight. As soon as ho I opened his mouth and began to speak tho | . picture was complete. Tho language, of . «nrse>is inliated, and it is delivored in tho spasmodic staccato stylo so characteristic of .the military officer of a past generation. , .bill his varying moods, and throughout i ach scene, the individuality of the tietor was wholly merged in his con ttption. He was equally effective in % whether in accepting the condolence (fib wife over a cup of tea, making a bombastic after-dinner speech at the regal Itbleof his rich son-in-law, fired with the j_pect of unlimited wine and cigars and -(negotiation of numerous bills of exchange ilia relative s expense, or as a fugitive njcivil processes endeavouring to clasp toft sympathetic bosom the wife of hisaffec __and tbo bundle of family linen which tabid vainly tried to pledge with an » nm-OBssionable pawnbroker. Mr Reeve iunmedian of great oxporionce and __ talent. He possesses considerable '.wMity of features, an oasy carriage, and ■*ji)__g and well-modulated voice.

Tho Hinomoa.

The Binomoa laid a portion of the cablo be tween North Head and Point Resolution yestorday. The section of cablo nsed was not sufficiently long to cover the wholo distance, consequently tho end was buoyod and tho work was being completed to day.

Tho following notice is gazetted undor tho hand of Colonol Sir G. S. Whitmore, commanding the colonial forces:—"lt is hereby notified for public information that tho Militia rolls havo been prepared at Wellington, Auckland, Christchnrch, and Diinodin, and are now posted. All persons liable to serve in tho Militia, but whose names do not appear in tho lists so posted, aro informed that under tho existing Militia Act it is incumbent upon them, under a penalty, to give in thoir names, ages, and places of residence to the Adju tant or Commanding Officer of the Militia district, with a view to the completion of tho rolls, ond it will bo publicly notified by the Commanding Officer of each district, as soon as possible, at what hours and places such per sons can comply with the Act. In order to meet tho convenience of persons resident at a distance, written communications ad dressed to the Adjutant of the Militia dis trict will bo sufficient, provided that they contain the prescribed information as to full name, age, aud place of residence. As under the existing Act the Governor is empowered to draw out such part of the Militia as he may deem advisable, it ia desirable that, in addition to the abovo prescribed information, persons liable to sorve in the Militia should state whethor they are married or single."

Veterans Corps.

A mooting of veterans desirous of forming themselves into a volunteer corp was held on Wednesday evening in Robson's Dining rooms. Dr. Tennent, in the absence of Mr Anderson, the initiator of the movement, was in tho chair. After some discussion as to arms and uniform, a roll of members was made, whon some 54 voterans enrolled themselves A deputation was appointed to wait upon Colonol Lyon today. Yes terday afternoon a deputation.consisting of Mr T. T. Anderson, R. H. Hitchens, Dr. Tennent, H. Chapman, J. C. Wilkes, and G. W. Robertson, waited upon Colonol Lyon at tho Drill-shed, when tho services of the proposed corps were laid before the Colonel to be submitted to tho Government. Colonel Lyon expressed himself as being highly pleased that such a body of trained men should place them selves at the disposal of the Government, and promised to forward tho application back by the strongest recommendation on his part. The corps will, doubtless, be ono of tho most efficient in the whole Volunteer forco, being composed of trained men of all branches of tho service,* and likely to bo officered by thoroughly efficient officers. The present minimum strength of tho company is 53, but there will not bo tho slightest difficulty in recruiting up to 100.

LnvercAßoill, this day. An Irish Volunteer ccrps has been formed hero with n present membership of .134. It has beon decided to ask Government to accept their services.

MINING NEWS.

Thames, this day,

Darwin. — The manager banked lOozs, 12dwts of retorted gold, tho result of th. last 28 loads crushed from the stopes. In the drive on tho hanging-wall of the reef in No. 3 level the quartz is favourably mineral ised. Colours of gold were observed this morning. Dakwin.— The crushing of the whole body of the lode in tho stopes above No. 2 level has * been found unprofit able, but it is thought that if the mineralised vein which has showed gold is worked alone, it will give payable results, while, from its nature, it may prove speci men bearing when developed. The stope has been suspended, but a rise is likely to be started.

Rocky Point.—The manager purposes pushing forward tho operations on the cross-lode at the low level, in order to break out a crushing as early as possible.

Takapuna Licensing Election.

(To the Editor.)

Si K) _May I be allowed a little of our valuable space to point out to the electors of the abovo district the danger of listening to any suggestions to div«ie their votes between tho two parties who ask for their eupport. The law is such that any two_ mem bers of a Licensing Committee can sign an unlmited rumber of conditional licti'es without consulting the other three members, and thus, although a majority of ihe Committee are opposed to such licences being granted they are power less to prevent them. This evil can only be averted by he electors who are in favour of order and eobriety, voting for the tem perance candidates only. — Yours respect fully, W. MITOHELt.
