THE OPERA HOUSE.

"A Sorap of Paper."

At the Opera Houso last night, a largi audience witnessed with iinmistakabh pleasure tho initial performance of the ihree-act comedy, "A Scrap of Paper.' Aa already stated in theso column?, it is iftje English transcription of one of Sardou't characteristic works. In many respects it affords indubitable cvidenco of its French oxtraation, notwithstanding its English ■dreoß, Not tho least of these is its plot. At ts of' tho flimsiest possiblo toxturo, nnd whimsical to a degree. A rouch-travollod colonel returns homo at middle life full of ennui, and with tho intontien of settling down.' To his chagrin, he finds his whilom inamorata married to a baronot, biu" ascertaining that sho has an oligiblo sirt-or, ho propoeos to pay suit to her instead. His married flame, however, having a sons! lively Wous husband, objects to tho nllianco, lost it should lend to disclosures of her former flirtations. As tlio formor lovers rocnl tho incidents of their courtship, it transpires that an amorous litter from, t!»o lady, posted under n 'tatuotto in tho vory roem in which tlley aro seated, never -reached its destination. Fearful of being compromised by the unlucky Lillet doux, Ac hastons to possoss herself of it, but just thon th-*? outranco of company interrupts 'her design. Tho Colonel is equally •rosolvod to havo it- as a foil to the. I«dy- hostility, and thoro onsuos bo- Hwoon them a scries of most amusing tricks and pretexts for removing tho stuluetto, from its brackot. In this cross-play of ruso and stratagem tlio Colonel succoods, to tho 'lady's uncenooalod dismay,and annoyance. Sbathencontidosin hor husband'scousiti, Miss J^titia Fiorpoint, who forthwith uddrossoa i horsolf to tho task of recovering tho un ifortunato missive. Tho Colonel defios hor, and in return sho threatens to muko hinn, bum tho note liimaol'. Having boon i ullowod carle blanche so far as his rooms and thoir contents aro concorned, sho Visits them with tho distrossod wife and discovers to fcidisg-placo of " trmscrnp of papor ;" bet'ln the moment of hc-c triumph sho is ftrcod into a dcclarft-on of lovo for tho Colonel in order toVitvort suspicion from tho mind of fko joaloug baronet, who, furious with «ngor, has followod in search ■of bis vrtfo, Tho evolution of tho play dopwxis upon that "scrap of papor " and its destruction. Thrown away by tho Colonel in a half-consumed stato, an amateur ■entomologist wraps up a beotlo in it, and lays it aside, only to havo it appropriated by a lovo-sick youth, who Boribblos a pencilled mossago to his mistress upon tho lack of it. Finally it reacl:e3 tho baronet's hands, but boforo ho has timo to discover aughtbut the pencilled wessago, tho Colonel claims and destroys it. Meantime, the laroaot has revested his cousin's lovo secret, «_d tho donouemont i 3 marriage aud hnppi nesi on all hands. In assuming tho role of tie wBWi-hearted intermediary between a dlstresßed wife and a mischievous man of the world, Miss Ward had a ta_k essen tially different from thoso to which sho has previouily addressed horsolf in thiv city ■with such succosß. It is invested with no prond, haughty, ot unprincipled qualitiei, and thero is no soltish object to aciiomo for. On tho ooatTary, it is teudor and womanly, and the purpose in vtcw boing disin terested, -is only compassed by the oxer dee of a little pardonable diplomacy and at tho expense of a sacritico of feeling which a woman can best appreciate. The actress Showed convincingly that, however great bar capacity for tlio impersonation of ■characters swayed by the stronger passions and but slightly susceptible to tho softer (motions, Bhe iB equally copablo of de lineating with pronounced success the natural and unforced graciousness, light hearted gaiety, genoroua self-abnegation, •ad thoughtful kindness of a true woman, Bhe waß easy and solf-posseseed in tho light play of diplomatic foneo with the Colonel, but Bhe revealed entirely now depths of histrionic resource and talent nrhon, in a tremor of nervous agitation at the threatened discovery of tho socrotod wife, sho essays, aa a last- desporato meana of diverting suspicion, the suggestion of lovo en her own part for tho Colonol .19 tho bolo reason of her presence in his room. Hor strong emotion, reproasod under an nflecta tionolindifferenoe developing into maidenly basMulness, and thon suddenly relieved of Its tension as the scheme succoods, was thoroughly realistic, It was, of its kind, as fine a piece of dramatic action as tho lady has yet given; and that is saying a very great deal. In fact, tho part was taken con, anion fhroughout, and its success, there fore, was unquestionable. Mr W. B, Vernon, as usual, also appeared to groat advantage. Tho easy, nonchalant, and outspoken Colonol is a character which suits him admirably, and ho por trayed it capitally, making overy point tell with its fall effect. Ho Bhared with (he lady the interest and applause of the audience. Miss Wattß Phillips mado a becomingly tearCalandanxious Lady Ingram, ondMißß Yoitch was in her own elemont aa Miss Matilda, tho coquettish maidon of swoet seventeen. Messrs Fonton, Bennett, and Lawrence's parts wero also woll sustained. In the farco of "A Regular Fix," Mr Vernon displayed great aptitu-de for the extravagant fun and ridiculous by-play of that class of dramatic work. The pro gramme will be repeated to-night.

EXAMINATIONS IN BANK RUPTCY.

Re Joseph Eilis—Tho bankrupt was ex amined to-day under oath by tno Official Assignee. Ho Baid :—" I am by calling a master vhariner, but have been hotel keeping for. tho last ton years. In July, 1-883,1 took possession of tho Commercial Hotel, Tauranga, on which I held a 21 years' lease, and bad let it to a tenant two years previously at a rental of £400 a year. In terms of my lease I paid £200 a year, I took posses-lion as stated becau.se my tenant got into difficulties and had to filo. He had given a bill of salo over hia stock and forniture some timo before ho became insolvent for £600. I ogreed with Messrs L. D. Nathan and Co., the holders of the bill of dale, to tak« U over. There was an unexpired lease of 16 years to run at the time I took possession, and being in want of money to clear a bank overdraft, I borrowed £400 on my lease from Mr David Nathan. After •11 my arrangements were made, I com menced business undor tho bolief that my interest in the hotel was £1,100,"over which there was a liability of £1,000. Besidoa this, I owned tho Ellorslie Hotel, subjocfc to a mortgage of £1,000, and I derived an in come ot £130 less interest on mortgage £S5. In Hay, 1884, I found myself in difficulties, and had to sell my interest in tho EUorelio property for £273, and I disposed of tho proceeds as follows:—Wages in arrears, i OS 10a; overdraft at Bank ol Now Zet land, Tauranga, £10 ; duo P.N.s £24. Bttndry tradesmen's accounts, £21 ; in terest to D. Nathan, £14 : total, £274 10s. Then agreed with L. D. Nathan and D.Nathan to dispo_ of the property and interest undor bill of salo and mortgage. 'This waß done immediately, and it was understood that whatever tho property fetched the two doenments woro to bo void as against me. Tho wholo was bought by the lessor's trustees. lam now indebted to Meeßrs L. D. Nathan and Co., £185 2s 6d, for goods supplied.'' Re Frank Owen Fisiikh,—Carrick Paul was examined to-day with respect to his firm's (Paul and Gould's) connection wilh tho bankrupt. He said ho had business transactions with the bankrupt in tho Mtnre of joint contracts for surveyors. Mr Browning hold the written agreement, but dodlned to produce it until his own lieu against Fishor was paid. Tho contracts entered into were -with respect to Pohokura and Tutukau blocks belonging to thenativo?, the prico for the first named being 4d por nero, and for the other 3d per awe. When engaged on the work Fisher, Gould, and himself wero allowed 21s per day before division of profits, and after all dis bursements had been paid. Tho agree ment was mado in June, ISB2, and in 1883 Fisher handed him a list and num ber of vouchors or dißubrsotnonts mado by him on acconnt for the surveys, amounting to £392 3s. Somo missing voucherßmade up £50. Tho amount re ceived for Pohokura contract, was £BSS 5s »d, and for tho other £282 2s Id. A balance was still owing on Pohokura The expendi ture on Pohokura was £1,149 7s 9d, and on the other block £380 5s Bd. Fisher disputed tho expenditure. Whilo engaged on these blocks, Fisher had authority to incur liabili ties in connection therewith on partnership account. Fisher was sued on one of these "abilities, and they paid the account to Keep him out of trouble. The account referred to was incurred before the part nership.

Last week Mr Stodart, having filed a petition in bankruptcy, forwarded his resig nation of the office of Secretary to the twsv ? £ Commerce. Tho Committee of jne Chamber met, and having accepted ihe resignation, placed Mr Moories in tem porary charge.

THE NEW GUINEA ANNEX ATION.

Tho Anglo-Gorman Negotiations.

London, Fobruary 9. Tiik British Government has proposed spoclal terms to Prince Bismarck for tho sottloment of tho Now Guinea annexation difficulty. Tho Imperial Cabinet offor to rocogniso tho Qor': man protectorate ovor Now Britain, New Ireland, and adjacent isluuds, on con dition that Germany Tetires altogether from New Guteea.

It is # expected that Earl Granvillo will ccnsei.t to surrender the D'En trocosteaux, Wcodlark, and adjaoent island', which are now -included in the British protectorate, If Germany will withdraw altogether from Row Guinea. Some despatches just published provo that England was, as far back as August last, fully aware of the designs of Germany in tho Pacific, and Prince Bismarck ridi cules the denial mado to tho Colonial office to Mr Murray Smith in November last, and cabled to Australia, that England had no knowledge of German designs in tho Pacific.
