(Extract from a letter, dated Auckland, N,Z., sth May,
1863, addressed to A. F. Ridgway and Sons, Agents to
Provincial Government.)
" Don't be /Tightened by all the stuff talked and written
abou, the Maories, No man, and hardly any woman, in
Auckland believes that we, in this province, need care a
teething about them, I only wish the Governor would ship
hem up in their own land, and leave them to their own de-
vices, as they appear to be determined not to allow us to do
them any good. I had a talk with Mr. Gorst, the late Com-
missioner on the Waikato, a few days ago. He does not
believe there will be any attempt to fight, at any rate on
this side of the country, i.e., north of the Waikato country.
He says the Maori King and William Thompson are
thoroughly disgusted, having no authority, and that be will
not be surprised to see the poor King abdicate shortly, and
come down to Auckland."

Amateur Theatricals at the Theatre Royal,

St. James's.

On Friday evening, the 10th inst., the St. James's
Theatre was crowded by a most brilliant and fashionable
audience to witness the performance of Miss Barker's little
comedietta, " The Peal of Bells," "The White Horse of
the Peppers," and "The Rough Diamond," the chief
characters being sustained by the Lady Anne Sherson,
Miss Barker, Lord Raynham, M.P., Mr. Maitland, ano
other amateurs. The object was, as usual on such occa-
sions, CHARITY, and the talent displayed (especially by
Lady Anae Sherson, Miss Barker, and Mr. Maitland) was
of a very high order.

---
In "The White Horse of the Peppers," Mr.
aitland played with a rich, racy, Irish humour, which
recalled to the mind ever lamented Power. It is
seldom that we see that captivating, humorous,
high-souled, brave-spirited, warm-herirted character, an
Irish gentleman, so admirably interpreted, Lady Anne
Sherson and Lord ttaynharn (always foremost in every good
work) lent the influence of their rank, popularity, ann
talents to the cause of the General benevolent Society.
Lady Anne is without a rival in the characters she interprets.
As the Irish soubrette she dnnceei a jig (well supported
by Mrs. Joy, and nothing more piquante or more charming
could be imagined than both her ladysip's It isn jig and
Lancashire; clog dance, which she in. roduced in the charac-
ter of Margery in "The Itough Diamonds." She
was enthusiastically applauded throughout and raptu•
rously encored. Mr. H. Lawlor showed a gocd deal of
alai( as the landlora of the Pig and Whistle.
