The performance at the Newmarket Hall last night was most excellent, and deserved a crowded house. The short notice and the many counter-attractions offered la3t evening militated against the attendance. The programme as gone through is well worthy of repetition, and if timely notice ef the same be given we have not the slightest doubt but •a full house would result. Bis Honor the Superintendent attended last evening, and expressed his admiration of the scenery as pointed by Mr Thornton in one day, and was well pleased with the admirable rendering of each piece.
E' The Wellington correspondent of the Melbourne Argus whose effusions are not unknown in this part of the Colony, is good enough to say of Sir Julius Vogel:—" He is, by the way, much improved, and I think toned down—grown more prudent and less impulsive—by his recent visit to Europe."
The North Shore and Parnell Football Clubs plays a matcb at the North Shore, tomorrow afternoon. Ploy to commence at three o'clock. Parnell players vv ill go across by the 230 steamer. The following are the names of the players : North Shore— Rees, E. Burgess, Duder, Dacre, Whewell, Hales,Copland, G. Burgess, Swanson, Sibbin, Ewen, C. Burgess, W. Webster, Wells, and Atkin. Parnell—Robertshaw, Tonka (2), Yon Temsky, Helps, Cotton, Woodhouse, Woodward, Mowbray, Hanltain, Peacock, Champion, Totton, Corbett, King, Philson. Complaints reach us from reliable quarters, of the inferior iron work which is used for Auckland built Vessels sold out of the place. The Isabella Pratt and the Tongatabu are mentioned amobg others, as having this defect in their construction. As we are unaware who are the guilty parties in these cases, we jjmay be presumed to be without any malice in bringing them before the public. It must be obvious to all, and especially to those of our citizens interested in the ship-building trade, that iff bad iron is pilt into our ships* the otherwise good workmanship vviil go for little. Our local smiths should recognise the importance of not allowing tho trade of tho place to suffer by thoir neglect ; if they persist their shortcomings will be visHted on their own heads-
