Hocsß o» Representatives.— Tha doafc for the Town of New Plymouth botng vacant by the nBigoation of His Honor Mr Charlos Brown, a large number of the Electors have addressed the Hon. H.

General Cameron. — It is stated that General Cameron, having withdrawn most of the advanced portion of the army to Patea, is about proceeding to Auckland. We should imagine this may be the first stage in his journey to England.

Prince op Wales Theatre. — Kotzebne's play of The Stianger, which has always been a favorite on the stage was producod in first-rate style at the theatre on Monday evening last. The piece contains some humour, but more feeling* — and it is this latter quality which makes it so popular. Mrs. Foley appeared to much advantage as Mre Haller, and Mr. Webster fully delineated the character of Tlie Stranger. At the elusion of the play both Mrs. Foley and Mr. Webster were called before the curtain, and received the hearty applause of a full house. Of course it is understood that Mrs. Foley and Mr. Webster are assisted by amateurs, and we must not omit to Bay that they support their characters in the way which wonld reflect great credit even on professionals. In The Stranger, Mr. Webb, as Peter was excellent as an amateur. The performance conclndod with the laughable farce of Box and Cox. There was a good house, and all appeared to be satisfied with their evening's entertainment.
