Prince of Wales' Theatre— Tho performances last night consisted of " The Sailor of Fiance," and the burlesque of "Villikens and hUDinab." Burlesques will not generally bear criticism ; but if by a little harmless and clever nonsense they affoid an hour or two's amusement, tbeii purpose io accomplished. We may, therefore, pronounce this new burlesque to the Auckland public to be very successful. The principal performers, especially Mr. Daniels, created a great deal of amusement by'ttre comical manner in which they rendered their several parts ; and last night, at the close of the piece, the audience by their laughter and applause showed how much they had relis>hed the entertainment. To-niglit the bin lesque will be repeated, preceded by the well-known drama of ' ' The Willow Thatcher's Entertainment.— There wa» a, good nudieuce last nightat the Odd Fellows' Hall. In the course of the evening Mr. Small introduced a reoitationor " stump ipeech" on local topics, which was very well received.
