Vladimir having eapaped km this awkward position, immodialoly Mi In love with the Count's litoe, tto Princess Lydia Imanovna, thorn ho knows only as Lydia. Hear ing of their attaohmont, the Count, who holds tho pwt of Genoral in the array, ill tho young officer transferred to tho Danube. The piece opens with a scone in the c.mp before ,Rustchuk. Here tho "medal of an American newspaper, hwa Hardy by namo, is brought in by Cossacks v a »py, but is recognised by Vladimir'as an old friend. The reporter oiganiwi private theatricals, in which Vladimir plays thy" leading lady," and is tecognisea by tie General as his only love, I'i.tinjbs, A most humorous and absurd litiutloa b Wred by the General and .Uialtu tefpg left alone, whilo th« tawr presses his suit with ardour. 1 lore-mating is, however, inter mttd by tho arrival of his niece, tlio Wwb Lydia, whose noble rank is thus ravelled to Vladimir, who fears recogni iu In his disguise. Complications are Eootksd over by the special correspondent, »k» einlabs the regemblance by telling 4t Pnncees that Fatinitw is her lover Wmlt'i Bitter.

The second act shows the waef the reformed Turk Izzet Pasha, WgOTeroor of the Turkish fortress and m are some comical scenes with bis Wj of four wives. Vladimir, still in raw's guise, and Lydia are brought in [■(WtiYesj and tho Pasha announce to h.wr "botter-halves" that he is about »«d Lydia to their number,much to their '•ate. Then comes Julian with the Jwan Sergeant Steipann, to arrange for JtiTOeeofthe captives. The Pasha is Jfflngtogivaup Fatinitza, but refuses to PJrtiith Lydia.

DEPARTMENTAL CHANGES

(BY TELEORArU.— VRE&S ASSOCIATION.)

Wellington, this day. A REDUCTION is being made in the Survoy Department, and 33 omoers in the various parts of tho colony have received notioe that their services are to bo dispensed with. Tho saving to the colony is not so large as Government at first intended, but Mr McKerrow, Surveyor-General, ib unable to further reduce his stall without seriously in juring tho service and causing public in convenienco. The real cost of the Survoy Dopartmont this year will show a much larger reduction, by soveral thousands. Tho talaris of tho large number of officials who aro pngagod through out the colony in revising plans under tho Land Transfer Dopartanent, which have appeared undor tho head of the Sur voy Department, are to bo charged to tho Land Transfer Department. Thcro aro also sovoral othor departments which causo some considerable additional work to the Survey Department, and these departments aro aleo to D 9 charged with the value of tho work dono.

ONEHUNGA CHORAL SOCIETY'S CONCERT.

Thk first of tho new Choral Society's con certs, undor the conductorship of Mr Richards, took place on Tuesday evon ing last, and, so far aa tho musical part of the performance was concerned, was a decided success, and certainly deserved a larger audience. The Sooiety may justly compliment themselves on tho rendering of the various choruses, trios, and duets. The Onehunga brass band, under the able direction of Mr Hiilse, efficiently opened each part of the programme) and that gentle man himself greatly pleased the audience with a violin solo, performed wilh great taste. Among the solos were " The Desert" and "The Last Man," sung by Mr Taylor* who displayed his usual power and taste ; " The Keign of tho Koses," sweetly sung by Miss Bishop; " Wo'ed Better Bide a Wee," nicely rendered by Mrs Gush. Mrs Howard was loudly applauded in her song, "A Vision." The instrumentation of tho Misaes Elmsly deserves a meed of praise, and they were warmly applauded. The song "Dear England," sung by Mr Walroud, [ received as|it well deserved, tho congratulations of bis hearers. Mrs Walroud contributed to the enjoyment of the evening by singing nicely the solo in the National Anthem. This part of the evening's entertainment being over, a very nice party of ladies and geptldmen re mained to pass an hour or two in dancing, one of the most attrative parts of which was the supper, which bore marks of the careful foresight of the ladies connected with the affair, who had evidently spared no pains to make the "spread" worthy of the occasion. Much of the success is due to the exertions of their secretary and to the members generally as woll as to the kind friends who nave assisted them by their help and sympathy. It is to be hoped that we may get many of such concerts, for their can bo no doubt that there is room for very much improvement in the general taste for music here, and euch im provemont is likely to be made by the or ganisation of such societies as the one now established among us.— [Communicated.]
