Mr Boncicault on the Old Country and the Colonies.

Am interesting address was delivered by tho # colebrated actor and author, Mr Dion ■ Boucicault, on tho occasion of a monster picnic tendered to him at Sydnoy a few | v.eeks ago. j Mr o'Co»nor proposed " Our Guest," and then spoke of Mr Boucicault in terms of very high eulogy. The toast was drunk with musical honours.

Mr Dion Boucicault, who on rising to respond was received with hearty and con tinued cheering, said that he really felt much oppressed by the task laid upon him to in some way justify the encomiums so very unexpectedly laid upon his shoulders by the worthy chairman. Hitherto he had had no idea ho was so great a man— (luughtor) -and in point of fact he had his doubts about Know, (applause and laugh tor). As regarded his literary work, ho was quite surprised when he was informed by his friends in Ireland, and especially by the late Duko of fjeinster, that his Irish dramas were doing a very great deal of <;ood in England. (Applause). He as sured them no ono was more surprised than ho was when 2;j years ago tho Duke told him that many people had reformed their ideas of tho Irish peasantry from tho pictures thoy had seen on the stage in the " Col'een Bawn." The thing went ,-o far that in the following year Her Majesty tho Queen and tho Prince Consort visited Lho Lakes of Killarney, where the scenes of •' The Colleen Bawn" nover took place. (Laughter.) Be mentioned this because he visited these scenes subsequently, ur.d was taken by tho boatmen to all the spots to which the Colloenßawn wa.taken by Danny Mann, and to the one where he subsequenty drowned her. It was only 12 weeks ago that he entered the Beads of Sydney Har bour, and as he saw around him the lovely panorama gradually developing itself, and reminding him of the Lakes of Killarney, tho Lakes of Cumberland, and tho head waters of the Susquehanna, he said that he wondered whether the actors were worthy of the scenery, because in great scenic pieces they were not always so. He had soon the Sydney public, 1...00 a night since he had been here, and should have seen 30,000 of them before his season closed ; and ho could say that the reputation he had hoard of them in New York and London was deserved—that they woro the most critical, delicate, and appreciative of audiences. Yet they were most generous, and he could say that he had done his best to please them. (Applause.) The reception he had met with in the theatre had culminated here, and this reception would nover be forgotten by him. (Hoar, hear.) 'When ho first came tp Australia ho was struck by the evidences of level prospsri.y here, and by the absence of boggars ; and he had found that the principal explorers had been Irishmen, and that in the Legislature, at the bar, and in other posts of trust and honour Irishmen were to be found. They fled from thoir native country because there was no hope and no scope for them in it, They loft Ireland despaining, but when thoy entored Sydney harbour they saw there as it wore, tho inscription, "All ye who cnterhoi-oleavodospairbehind." (Applause.) And it was the same thing in America. The Irish-American citizens had the same feelings and tho same liberty as his hearers ha 1. Tho fanatical crowd who had caused such excitement lately were but a drop in tho bucket, and could not bo considered with tho Irishmen who were loyal and true. During his stay in America, from tbe Chief Justice of New York, Mr Daley, to the Bonanza King of San Francisco, MrMackay, he had mot with Irishmen in overy position, and ho could spoak of tho benefit to them of self-government— (applause)—or, as he waa going to say, " Home Rule." (Loud and continued applause). He would recount to them a little anecdote illustrative of the relations between England and Ireland. Whon he was in Paris, 30 years ago, a hatter named Gay, whoso shop was in the Rue de Vivionnc, used to take the shape of his customers' heads and try to fit customers from Iho sizes recorded in a large album ; but this would not do, any more than English hats would fit Irish heads. In crossing from Now York to San Francisco he noticed one remarkable circumstance, and that was that no police man or soldier was necessary to keep that groat people of 55 millions in order. They wero kept orderly by their innate respect for thoir own laws, as Mas the case in Syd noy and Melbourne; whereas in France and Germany ho saw nothing but mon in uniform and numerous members of the gendarmerie. England teemed to always possess tho ambition of being a European nation, but ho thought geographically that she belonged to a group of islands off Europe. She had always aspired to preserve tho balance of powers, and Imd waßted millions and millions upon it; she had poured out hor blood like water ; and the only result had been the unification of Germany. Bis raarck, if he would but speak, would say, ' Why turn your face to us in the East, where wo hale you, instead of turning to the West, where, in 4 merica and Australia, you havo English-speaking races? Why not mako a federal union of English-speak ing races ?" Thoro should be two or threo Pacific cables and several good lines of steamers, to bind the Engli?h-speaking races together by thoir commercial interest —a league of 100 millions of English-speak ing people. If thero were a war, what would becomo of the Australian telegraph wires, which would cross the territory of half-a-dozen hostile nations. Would they not bo cut up ? Of courso they would. But if tho Australians had a lino across the Amorican Continent it would rover be stopped, because war between us and the American nation was impossible, (Ap plause), lie thought that such a scheme as this was practical and inevitable. In his wanderings ovor the world he had found Irishmen everywhere, for the sun never set upon tho brogue of his native land. Ho wished all his hearers increase and prosper ity, and that their children and children's children would perpetuate the Irish name. (Loud applause).

Mrs. Burcher's Oil Paintings.

There aro on view at Mrs Burcher'e studio, opposito tlio Hon. Mr Chamberlin's residonco, Parnell, a number of oil paintings, engravings, and pencil drawings, which ore to be disposed of by an Art Union. The paintings and drawings are all the work of Mrs Burcher, who is to be congratulated on tho succe.s her efforts have attained. The former are six in number, tho principal beiDg a large canvas measuring about . feet by four and a half. The subject consists of two dogs, life size, a mastiff and a terrier, the latter of which is greatly agitated at the presence of tho giant.and has jumped up on to a sofa or a vantage gronnd whence to bark. A little girl with golden ringlets tries to hold back the mastiff by bis collar. Tho oy o at onco picks out the huge animal as thccentroofin.erest; and thedrawingappears to bo excellent. While every part is suc cessful, tho head, perhaps, is managed as cleverly as any. The little terrier perched on the sofa's end shows a lifelike animation, while tho accessories are in admirable ac cord, and havo been carefully painted, with duo regard to tho disposition or light and shade. Altogether this would make a good gallery picture for it requires plenty of room wherein to bo viewed with advantage. A second painting is a study of still life, and represents a haro, a pigeon, and a Maori hen hanging ngainst a wall, Tho light hero is admirably disposed go as to show off well the brilliant plumage of the birds, in tho painting of which it is ovident very great pains havo been exerted. Three' horses' heads, oxecutod in a sort of monochromo after an engraving, are very bold and vivid, exhibiting the same care - which characterises all that Mrs Burcher i undertakes. The smallest canvas is I takon up with a fox in the act of watch ing v couple of rabbits, which feed all un suspecting in tho thick undergrowth of an English cop.c. This is a copy. Two land scapes make up the complement of oil pictures. One of them shows by moon light the promontory on which Dr. Camp boll's houso stands, and the little bay beyond it. Two features strike one as worthy of praise, the cloud-covered sky and tho play of .ho moonlight on the gently rippling water. The total effect is soft and pleasing. The second landscape, entitled " A Scene from Faust," exhibits the portico of a house on the edge of a lake. A boat floats by the steps which lead down to the water, and thick foliage forms a back ground of the whole. Mophistopheles stands in characteristic attitude on the steps, while just within the porch are two other figures. Tho three pencildrawings represent English troes, and are executed with bold ness and truth. Two antique engravings of subjects from Rubens complete a valu able collection, which, as has been said, will be dispersed on the art union principle.

It is probable that New Zealand's Royal Commissioners at the London Exhibition noxt year will include Sir F. D. Bell, Sir John Hall, Sir E. Stafford, and Sir W. Fox.

But I would venture" ft there no prompt remedy tot Jg_ egregious wrcng? In looking OVe, Z ct it occurs to me that one very ilj1 ant factor in the transaction has &S ooked. I allude to His ExceC,?k. Governor. Without his carti.iS *. Cabinet trick won't work.' wffi__* lency consider that response Govern^ requires him to concur in a tr«Si odiously illegal, and which by the Premier as a slap at AiirS and Wellington for the bJJtMff I would suggest that the North Island™ stituencies Bhould forthwith appeal to W Excellency for protection from this iIC and arbitrary act of his Ministers, T1 Act of Parliament were to be treated in similar manner by the directors _ a public company they could be broJ to book_ by tne Supreme Court, Sii_ the Ministry are not so entirely aboveth. law that they can " with a waive of ___ magic wand "so change an Act as tomak. it mean exactly the reverse of what was in tended and expressed by the Loirli latere winch enacted it, The No_ Island Main Trunk Railway L_ Act, 1882, authorises tho Governor in Com cil to appoint two or more agents forraisin_ and managing the loan authorised to b. raised under that Act; and by Section 3 "such agents shall have authority to borrow on bonds, debentures, scrip, or otherwiis. such sum or sums not exceeding one million pounds, as the Governor in Council may from time to timo direct, for the purpose ot constructing tho said main:trunk railway or the paymont or re-purchase of short dated debentures issuod undor this Act" Other clauses provide for tho temporary issue of short-dated debentures, to te fa. eluded in the million, and to bereplacedby the debentures or other securities-to be issued under section 3. There is not a hint of any appropriation to other purposes than the North Island Trunk' Railway, but on the contrary, the very neit Act (No. C 5) of the samo session wasaLoan Act for raising three millions for general purposes.—Yours, &c, NOKTII ISLAND COIOSIST.

(To the Editor.) . y_'y A Sir,—The Colonial Treasurer is;op. tin point of exercising his intelligence at tbe expense of the North Mand. It. might havo been supposed that some consideratios for the good name of the colony-ii to London money market would to militated against the elevation otftli inordinately clever gentleman to tbepodtaoa of Colonial Treasurer. However* thonece. cesities of the South Island were orgeat, and Southern members probably thought that Canterbury, &c, interests would be best subserved by delegating tho manage ment of the colonial finances to a minister of elastic scrupulosity, to uso a mild tern. But has not tho Treasurer's open declara tion that he intends to raise tho North Island Trunk Railway Loan with the intent to devote it to South Island purpose given snfficent warning to enable measures to be adopted that will checkmate him? Ist. This loan was clearly ear marked, to use the Treasurer's .erpreeeiea, and, if raised, cannot legally be applied lo any purpose other than that for which It was sanctioned, unless the House first pass an express vote annulling its previous, de cision. 2nd. Apart from this,-hotrenir, it was unmistakably tlio intention cl the House, plainly expressed last •_» sion, that no loan should : bfi-.,i_M during the recess. In fact, Parliunnb would, not sanction the expenditure of any more town money beyond:thi;already raised by tho present Ministry, at,lesit to long as tho intelligent Sir Julius yuan integral component of it. The Ministry,! opine, cannot -propria mot., raise any loania the teeth of this adverse decision, should if ventu re to d o so, the H ouee, on re-assembling, would be in duty bound to impeach1 tie culprits. More than this, it would bjabt only justified in repudiating theJpiu.-ti the country should require ■ I his of it. » resentatives. If the members who ym with Captain Ruesell—consisting 8 » majority of the House of ItepwspitatiWJr were now to iesuo a'manifesto proclaiming the illegality of the course Sir Juliuipro poses to pursue, and their determination to repudiate any loan raised during the wee* in violation of the decision of f __nHw to impeach the Ministry if it persistedit* attempting to float one, I think each » manifesto launched on the London ExcbaeEe would effectually dispose of any chance ota loan being illegally raised. Thecoma proposed may seem irregular, but is it tw so than that of tho Ministry? Ii iter*-" irregular and unconstitutional? DospenM ills require desperate remedies-la*M [c -'
