Howe. t —Mr. Jlowe appeals to his friends this evening i on the occasion of his benefit. Careful and .1 painstaking in the many characters lie lias sustains! during the season, this actor deserves r the substantial support of the play-going public s of Auckland. Among the parts in which iJr. s .Howe has been particularly successful may be • mentioned that of 1 >escliitpe!les. in the " Lady t of Lyons:" the Vizier, in " Aladdin Sir John i \ esey. in "Money." and others. Tile bill of i' i fare announced is it most attractive one. and i comprises the popular play of " The Court and l the ."stage," ami concluding with "Aladdin." insanity.—A man named Henry Coman was • apprehended by warrant yesterday afternoon, 1 on Mispicion of being of unsound mind.

M.WXTAIXINt; A llofsi" OF II.L-FAMK. — Jessie Dennie stood charged lie fort' llieir Worships yesterday, with this offence. The house was described by .Sergeant Christian as being !l most uolo/'iotis one. and situate in the vicinity of i Chancery-street, the " Tyburtiia" of Auckland. ! The jJencli ordered the accused to find two j sureties of L'-M each to be on her good behaviour for tin- space of three mouths. An I'x'.vu.Lisi; Tkaveli.ki:.—On Monday iast, as the ' Airedale' was about to depart for the Soiiih. a d.i.-iinguished contractor and member uf the \\ eliington Volunteer Couipauy to boot, hailing from tile Cumbrian shores, went; on board to see :i frit-ndotf. .Perhaps they were loth 10 pari, and soothed the auguisJi of the momeiit by adjourning to the lower regions, tin.re to drink deur/i and dlutrri* or the parting clip, jll amicable coin erse the moments ilevv by, and meantime,, without our friend being aware of it, ihe steam was lt->{. up. the vessel east oil", and when the unlucky gentleman fully realised his position, he found himself a considerable distance from the Queen's Wharf, and under way for Canterbury. It was of no u.-e to remonstrate, and though tiie unwilling passenger insisted i;i being put on shore, and wildly demanded " a poat. a poat," the Captain was inexorable, and 110 boat was forthcoming. To Canterbury lie accordingly went, and before reaching which his fare was quietly demanded, [t is proverbially difficult, as our iSeotch friends tell us. •• To tak the breeches oil' a liielannian, but it is not more easy to extract money from the poekits of a \\ elshuian when he has none to give. 111 vain the subject-of our tale pathetically represented that he didn't want the passage at all, and should not be made to pay for it. The purser didn't see it in that light, and hoisted oil his forking out the tin. Matters at hi>t came to a crisis, when a delicate reference was made to a gentleman known as " his uncle," an.' ultimately our frieud, minus his chronometer, was allowed to go on shore. Here he was ill hi. With but a few shillings in his pocket-, witlioui

brought nvray as legitimate 'loot" my lady's jewel ease, wliicli she is delighted to seo again, and chants like a nightingale accordingly. The second act is taken up by a robbery, in which the pretended Marquis attempts to regain possession ot the recovered jewels, passing himself ofl to the oliieer as having a " ienderrendezvous," to account tor the suspicious circumstances of his being found in another guest's chamber at dead of night. ]n the third act. this notable plot is frustrated, the noble lady is made happy by the recovery of her jewels, and everybody is made comfortable except the brigands, whose fate remains uncertain.but probably not enviable. Ihe notice of hist night's performance, which was very successful in an artistic, though not in a pecuniary sense, is unavoidably crowded out by a matter of more serious interest. Ci;o\VDi:n Oct.—Our critiques on the Opera. Theatre, and oilier performances, together with several local matters, are crowded out.
