PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

Mbs. Eobhkt He in made her third appoarauce before an Auckland audiencc in her favourite old play, Ingomar, taking the part of Pnrfbenia, the Greek Girl to Mr. Carey's Ingomar. Ably assisted by. Mr. Caroy, she truthfully and with admirable spirit placed, one by one, bafore her rapturous listeners, the manifold attractions with which her impersonation of this bold maiden had on a former occasion been received by more appreciative audiences. We have beside us tbe London Times devoting a column to Mrs. Heir's first appearance as ParU enia, ■with Mr. James Anderson, the celebrated Jngomar of the age. We cannot refrain from using an extract from the same—" No amount of biliousness, however, could predispose even the most melancholy person to regard Miss Fanny Cotchard other than with the most unmixed satisfaction. There seems to lack nothing to ensure its completeness. it was preeminently womanly. Wo predict fsr this young lady a position second to none in her profts inn." Mr. Carey, as Ingomar, delineated carefully and well the passionate workings caused in his halfsavage brains by the enchanting influfnc6 of his hoßtess.

, Nr. B. N. .Jones took the p*rt of Pohdor, and with the profession this is considered one of the most difficult char-actors to portray, yet, in the har.d« of inch s Teteran in his profession, it was, indeed, made to stand out in bold relief.

We cannot but congratulate tho Manager on the dresses and seene-y used upon this occasion. Wo cannot but express our astonishment at the absence of the intellectual portion of the community. It is but a poor oompliwenfc to a lady who, to say nothing of her private worth, yet from her position in England and Australia, deserves, at least, a trial. Mrs. Heir has been enabled to lsn ve behind her in •ach part of New Zealand waited by Jut/ a handsome sum to the charities of the pla'-e, and will no doubt do so here.

This evening we anticipate a great treat in the " Stranger," the part cf Mrs. Kaller being takoD bv Mr«. Hfiir. h *
