OPERA HOUSE.-"Extremes."

Tins entertaining four-act comedy—per haps the best that has issued from the facile lon of Edmund Falconor—was revived at the Opeiu House last night, and made a yory decided "hit." Tho last occasion of its performance in Auckland was some five or six years ago, during the regime of Mr wS" C, arden' when MrLachlan McGowan illed the same port that again fell to his lot last night. The cast this time was much stronger than it was then, for Mr Wybert Reeve made a most effective Frank Hawthorne, while Mrs Chippendale could not have a more congenial rOle than that of Mrs Wildbriar, the bluff, kindly, and straightforr'ed " Lancashire dame, even had it been expressly written for her by one thoroughly versed in her distinctive characteristics. As most playgoers will know, the piece is founded upon the stipulation in a rich man's will that two of his young relatives-a niece and a nephew from different branches of his house—shall inherit the bulk of his wealth provided they marry. Should only one of the pair accede to this condition, that one is

to have the whole inheritance, and if both refuse, it is to be devote} to charitable purposes. The nephew falls in love with his fair cousin, but she affects to be indifferent. His noble qualities, how ever, subtly impress her heart, but her affectationoflovityandcoldnossdecoiveshim. In the end he renounces his claim to the heritage by declining the stipulated union; but the lady, fearing this result, complies with it—only, however, to disclose her love, and to offer it with her acquired wealth to the true-hearted and genorous lover.

mo Lancashire relatives of the, pair and a "huppor servant" of very arrogant manner provide the low comedy element in abundance, while a couple of titled adven turors fill up the picture. Mr Reeve's Frank Hawthorne was a careful portraiture, in which the noblo and gontlemanly realities of the hero were brought out into the fullest rolief. Mrs Chippendale's Mrs Wildbriar fairly divided the honours with Mr Koeve's impersonation. She looked tho part to tho life, spoke the homely Lancashire dialect with pronounced effect, and onactod the role as if

"native and to tho manner born." It is perhaps tho best character delineation nho has yet given in Auckland, and those who wish to see a sterling actress at her best should not fail to witness to-night's per formance, Mr McGowan's Robin Wildbriar is also one of that gentleman's strongest impersonations. He infuses his whole heart and soul into it, and his por traiture is utterly destructive to gravity. Miss Alice Deorwyn, as Lucy Vavasour, played with even moro than her average success, albeit she laboured under the dis advantage of a severe cold. Miss Con stance Deorwyn's impersonation of Jenny Wildbriar, " the clever little girl," was a trifle overdone, but the fault, at any rate, was on tho right side. Her physique was not altogether consonant with such a part. Messrs Steole, Stewart, Holloway, Walsh, and Gladstone, and Misses Lillie Byer and Mario Brooks sustained effectively tho other 16108. The piece will be repeated to night. "Diplomacy" To-morrow Night. The local play-goers will have to-morrow night the rare opportunity of witnessing the performance of a high-class society play, which ran in London for five hundred con secutive nights. The comedy consists of four acts, and offers abundant opportunities for tho display of high histrionic art. Love, jealousy, hatred, and revenge are the passions that play through the mazes of intrigue and diplomacy, and form the substratum of this striking and attractive play. Brought out in London at a time when the Eastern question was the all absorbing topic of conversation, and whon war with Russia was daily becoming more and more imminent, " Diplomacy" was surrounded with all the elements of popu larity, and in the hands of Mr Reeve's Company it cannot fail to evoke here a pro portionate degree of that popularity. The plot may be briefly outlined. Captain Julian Beauclerc, brother of Mr Henry Beauclerc, and attached to the English Embassy at Paris, has fallen in love with and becomo the husband of Dora, the daughter of tho Marquese de Rio Zaros. On the very day of his marriage he, in the presences of his brother, learns from Count Orloff, who is ignorant of the marriage, that his wife is a traitress and a spy. On becoming acquainted with the fact that Dora has becomeMra Beauclerc, the Count tries to ehuffle out of his unguarded statement. Julian becomes incensed, and exclaims, "You area coward, and by Heaven I will kill you !" He rushes towards the Count; Mr Henry Beauclerc interposes, and an absolute explanation is demanded and made. The next grand scene is that which takes place in the thirdact between Julian and Dora. He accuses her of having stolen his state'paperforthepurpese of betrayinghim | Hor indignant denial of the charge, and her rushing from the room with the vow that ehe is parting from him for ever, brings the sensational episode to a close. In the last act, where the Comtesse Zicka (Miss Bea trice) is brought face to face with Mr Henry Beauclerc, and compelled to confess that she had stolenthe Stato paper from Julian's despatch-box, and placed it inside a letter addroseed in Dora's hand-writing to Count Orloff—by the way, an old lovor of hers— for the purpose of revenging herself upon the man who had refused her love, there is scope for some good acting.

A RUSSIAN "SCARE" IN WEST AUSTRALIA.

The captain and crew of H.M.S. Diamond, which left Adelaide a weok or bo ago with sealed orders, have succeeded in affording an immense amount of harmless amusement to the placid Western Australians. The Diamond arrived at King George's Sound m full expectation that war had by that time been declared against Russia, and their sus picions were aroused by observing that the fights in the lighthouse were burning un usually low. The English warship extin guished her lamps, and six boats crews, armed to the teeth, were lowered, and swept through the waters with muffled oars towards the supposed scene of the Russian surprise. The boats completely surrounded the lighthouse; and while the party ad vancel silently to the landing-place, the other crews remained on the watch ready to storm the place as soon as the signal was eiven The gallant tars of the Diamond who had landed on the rocks per ceived, in the dim twilight, an old man seated at the lighthouse door <l™*l°™^ ing his evening pipe. Anxious to capture him without giving an alarm to the supposed Russian guard ineide the building, the S e g rept towards him on their hands and knees, and seized, gagged, and camod htato the boat.

STEAMBOAT COLLISION AT KAWAU.

THE MACGREGOR SAFELY FLOATED.

(From ouk Special Reporter.)

"STAR" CARRIER PIGEON.

Kawau, Friday, 9 a.m. From daybreak yesterday all hands were busily engaged in preparation for the great effort to float the vessel. Gazelle, Fanny, and a scow were lashed as previoubly des cribed and at noon were firmly bound

together. Steerage apartment and the boiler were pumped out, and then there was the tiresome suspense of many hours of waiting for tide. Considerable specula tion was indulged in by the workmen as to

whether the schooner could bear her share of the Macgrogor's weight, whether chains would hold, whether steamer could be floated enough to clear her of rocks under the engine-room. Position was very awkward, as may be concluded from the fact that the stern of the Fanny and one end of the scow were almost grazing a large

sunken rock which appeared threateningly between them and the Macgregor. The position of the Macgregor, also, was un favourable. "Whilst almost covered at high water, the receding tide left her decks dry, but her port rail dipped in the water whilst hor starboard bilge was plainly visible. The weather was very favourable. Ah tho tido rose, the schooner and barque canted towards each other over the Macgregor's decks, until their masta almost met, and the Macgrogor's mast stood at a groat angle aver tho docks of the Gazolle. At 1 p.m., creaking and breaking of fenders shoved that tho steamer was rising with groat weight on chains. Great excitement prevailed for fear of the slightest mishap, which might rosult in tho vessel sinking into deop water. Every moment the situation became more critical, until

5 p.m., when all four vessels, moving quietly and togethor, an attempt was made to haul ahead on barque and schooner, but without success, tiil 5.30, whon the scow floated over a rock that seriously barred her passago, and all four got into deep water. The Glenelg came alongside for the purpose of towing the vessels to Sandy Roach, close by, and kedges were run out ashore. Considor ablo difficulty and delay occurred in the

work, and it was 10.15 p.m. before veasf's were beached. All hands then knocked off for tea, after which they divided into two parties to work through tho night in get ting gear off beach and scow placed along side instead of astern of Macgregor, in order she might be more easily towed with other vessels into Bon Accord Harbour, on other side of Kawau, about six miles dis tant by water. So far, everything has gone off Batiafactorily, and tho Macgregor will probably be in Auckland at an early date. Later.

Tho Glenelg took the Macgregor and other vessels in tow at six this morning. It was intended to proceed to Bon Accord Harbour by the southern passage. The wind waa blowing fresh from tho S.W., but not much sea on. After steaming for half an hour found it difficult to get round the point, so decided to go about and take tho eastorn passage. The pumps wore kept going on the Macgregor, and she came along very well, with her bow several feet under water, and with her after end juat dry. Progress was very slow, owing to the

strong tide running. At 5.30 steam tugAwhina, from Auck land, was passing, and Captain R. McLeod, in charge, agreed to assist in towing. The Awhina made fast to the Glenelg with long hawser, and the speed of other vessels perceptibly improved, so that at 10 a.m. all were safe in Bon Accord Harbour, where there is a fine hard beach, and many facili-

ties for repairing the Macgregor. Unfor unatoiy, we wore too late for the morning tide, and will havo to wait till this evening before the Macgregor can be left tecurely aground. However, there is now no fear of her being lost in deep-water, and repairs and her appearance in Auckland is only v question of time. The Glenelg will pro bably return to town early this ovening.

It is twenty-three years to-day since tho first batch of Nonconformist settlers left England for Auckland. At an extraordinary meeting of share holders of the Caledonian Low Level Co. to day it was decided tocontinue operations. The Crown Prosecutor desires to correct the statement in our last issue that at the conclusion of the Wellington-Mac gregor inquiry yesterday he said that if any costs were ordered they should be paid by the Company." He affirms that what ho did say was that it was a pity the Company waa not'before the Court, as if it were, the Court would have the power, if it thought fit, to award coßts against the Company. The annual" meeting of the following licensing districts takes place noxt week : — City North, on Monday; City South, on Tuesday; City East, on Wednesday; Karanga'iape, on Friday ; Ponsonby and Parnell, on Saturday. All these will bo ' held at noon at the 11. M. Court-houso. Tho Qrafton mooting will be held on Monday, Sth, and the Newmarket meeting on Tuos day 9th—the latter at tho Newmarket Hall.
