The Alhatnbra Palace, one of the best known and most popular places of amusement in London, has at last shared the fate which stems to De the inevitable datiny of all theatres. A cablegram which we print this morning announces that it was destroyed by tire on Wednesday. 2so particulars are yiven, but it may "be assumed that the conflagration occurred after the performance, and when only the ordinary emplo\es were about the building. Had the hre broken out during the evening when the huge auditorium was tilled with spectators, the arrangements could hardly have tailed to be of the moat disastrous character. As in the majority of the London theatres the structural defects of the Alhambra were constituted a serious dunger in case if ire during a performance, and it is a fortunate circumstance that the destruction of the budding occurred after the public had ieft. A large. staff of firemen were kep: constantly upon the premises, and every piecaution was used against tire, but in spite of these safeguards tie theatre, so dear to the hearts cf the pleasure-seeking L ndoners, has fallen a prey to the flames. The Aihauibrawas originally known as the Panopticon of Science and Art, and was erected in 1552-3, for a chartered company, by Mr. T. U. Lewis, the architect. It was opened in 1554 for lectures, musical performances, etc., but the speculation aid not succeed, and in March, ISSS, it wa3 upenedass circus under the name of the Alhatibra, a company having its management. The character of its entertainment wss subsequently widened, and embraced drs-. malic, operatic, pantomimic, ar.d miscellaneous per:oruis::ces. In its early cays it was admirably managed by Mr. Johu Hollingstead, assisted by Mr. James Ellis, but for many years afterwards its success was fluctuating and unsatisfactory. A few years ago it was proposed to wind up the company, the enormous expense involved in producing the gorgeous entertainments which had long reudered the Alhambra unique among the Loudon theatres, entailing a heavy less Upon thshareholders. It was tiuslly deCMiM. h iwevcr, to make oue more effort, and recently the theatre li*d teen condacteu with itreat success, under the experiences management of Mr. Holland, - ill ; ° n S known as the proprietor of the Woolwich Gardens.

We regret to have to announce to-day the of Mr. Anthony Trollope, the well Vnnwii novelist. Mr. Trollope came of a literary family. His mother was an •iitlioress of considerable versatility and »nd her " Domestic Life of the Americans," among the earliest of her works, Caused a literary sensation both in England and America. "The Vicar of Wrex--1,11 " "The Widow Barnaby, ' "The Widow Married," " Petticoat Government," and <• Eustace " arc among the beat specimens of her novels. At the age of nineteen she married Mr. Anthony Trollope, barrister, who died a lew years afterwards. The distinguished son of these parents was boru in April 24. ISIS, and after receiving a sound education at Harrow was admitted to the Post-office, where he held an important appointment for many years. His first work of note appeared in 1547, and since that tim: he has written a long series of novels 3nd works of a general character, all of which have enjoyed a wide popularity. About ten years ags hp visited Australia and New Zealand, and passed through Auckland. jle afterwards embodied his impressions of the colonies in a work entitled " Australia and Xew Zealand,"' a book which gave rise to a good deal of criticism.

M. Louis Blanc, the French journalist and politician, is dead. He was born at Madrid in 1613, in which city his father held the Oliiee of Inspector (Jei.oral, under Joseph Bonaparte, By his mother's side he was descended from the Corsiean family of Pozzi di Borgo. At the age of seventeen, immediately after the revolution of ISiO. he returned to Paris, and connected himself with the Bjn Sens newspaper; and by his contributions to that and other journals, speedily acquired a high reputation as a political writer. He was the founder of tiic "Revue d« l'rogres," in the columns of .vhicli he tirst published his ideas upon industrial economies. In the still mure important work by which he established his claim to rank as an historian, "L'llistoire dc L)ix Ails,'' he gave a description ot the corruption of Louis Philippe's Government so vivid, that it greatly contributed to produce that electrical state of teeling in the public mind w'Mch exploded in the Revolution of IS4S. When that event took place he became the leader of the social democratic party and became a member of the Provisional Government. After the insurrecreetiou of IS4S he lied to England to escape a prosecution, and remained in that ceuntry many years, devoting himself to the peaceful pursuits of literature.

The latest information from Samoa was to the eileu' that Governor Des Vceux, of Fiji, had gone down to Samoa to investigate matters connected with the land claims of William Me Arthur and Co. News has now been received that Governor l)cs Yauix, who is acting Consul-General for the Western Pacific, lined the Samoan natives £100 for inteileriny with and ejecting the man in charge of the plantations of Mc ■ rthur and Co. The native Samoan Government paid the fine, and gave peaceable possession of the property to the agent of Mc.\ rthur and Co. The Governor is indignant at the conduct of Cornwall, and, we believe, intends dealing with him as strongly as lies in his power in Fiji.

The uuisance in connection with carrying telephone wires on telegraph poles along the pavements of our streets will, at no distant dare, have to be faced and suppressed. In Melbourne they have come tv thr-t pass alreauv, it being impossible to carry auy more wires on the telegraph poles, which in that city, to put it mildly, arc of even a less «T3 hetic pattern than our own. The views up and down the streets arc completely obstructed, and toe beauties oJ street architecture completely d'.-stroyed. In America they are experimenting, aud successfully, in the way of putting the wires underground ; but, it"is stated, that the expense precludes its adoption either in Australia or New Zealand. Another method is proposed — that adopted in London and 'Frisco, of carrying the wires over the tops of the houses, along their tides, by a series of "arm.-:." If property owueis :.ave the;:' '-.'it to thi3 method, there is reason to believe that the District Inspector of Telegraphs, Mr. Orchiston. would recommend its adoption to the Government, in order to i ■■'.!■ -v the many business thoroughfares of these uu-iilitly obstructions—the telephone wiica and poles.

Now that the summer season is approaching, the Parncll residents should bestir themselves to obtain the erection of public baths on the site which over two years ago was conceded by the Harbour Board for that purpose, near St. Barnabas Point.

We have to acknowledge receipt of the second number of a new monthly publication, the Australian Brewers' Journal.

Detective Walker carries with him to his new sphere of action the good wishes of a large circle of friends."

At the monthly meeting of the Australasian Institution of Marine Engineers, held lately, much indignation was expressed by the members regarding the loose manner in which steam colliers are allowed to proceed to sea, and several stated, from their own practical experience, that it was a very common thing for steamers to leave the coaling ports around Sydney with the hatches ofT and several truckloads of coal lying loose on deck. Some of the members were actually engaged in vessels where the grasping cupidity of the owners insisted on this dangerous and criminally reckless practice of overloading The men themselves were powerless to interfere, as complaint on that score simply meant dismissal from the ship, and very few could afford thus to fall out with their livelihood. What wonder was it it, then, when a ship occasionally went down ? The cause for surprise was that wrecks and founderings were not much more frequent. A hope was expressed that the public would take a keener interest in shipping matters generally, particularly regarding seaworthiness and orerloading, thus endeavouring to assist and protect a class of men who rarely have the opportunity of protecting themselves.

During the evening the choir, under the leadership of Mr. Stevenson, rendered with good effect several well-selected hymns from the latest edition of Sankey's Hymn Book. At the close, on the motion of Mr. Whyte, a vote of thanks was heartily accorded to the rev. lecturer. The Benediction was pronounced, and the meeting closed.

"A Victorian " writing on the subject of the Hon. \V. J. Clarke's elevation to a baronetcy, and approving of the bestowal of the honour, gives the following sketch of that gentleman':! public spirit and liberality : — "He stands alone in Australasia as a perfect Peabody. Every hospital, yes, every charity in Victoria, and many outside it, have been most liberally treated by him. I'he amount of good he does is really not known ; he is always doing it. He heeds not sects ; churches of all denominations have been recipients of his bounty. He is the fanners' friend, too ; at his own cost he brought out Mr. Mclvor, and paid him a large salary to lecture to anil instruct the fanner. Spontaneously he doled out a thousand sovereigns to the famine-stricken of India. The wail from China, too, he heard. So also the distressed Jews in Russia He topped the list of the heavy contributions sent by colonist! to the Mansion House for relief in Ireland. In fact I believe a list in detail would fill your paper of the money he has distributed for public £;ood. Had they not heard what a noble generous man he was when singling him out for the marked distinction—the first Australian Barouet. I hope our contingent of the tirst Federal Council will be composed of men of the stamp of Sir W J. Clarke, which, however, is a vain hope, for he stands quite alone—a man of great wealth and great bcnevolencc. The combination is a rarity."

On December 1 a presentation of a hand" some clock was made to Dr. Grabham, of th e Karlswood Asylum, on the occasion of hi 8 farewell, before sailiug for New Zealand to take up the duties of Inspector of Asylums under Government. The presentation took place before a large anil sympathetic audience, ill acknowledging the presentation, Dr. Grabham said : You are aware that I am going to a distant country—a remote part of the world. I shall, however, have the same mode of life—the same kind of work I have been for the last twenty years connected with—namely, that of supervising the treatment ol the insane. My engagement is one for three years, and after the expiration of that time 1 am at liberty, if I choose, to come back home. I may tell you that 1 have some difficulties before me, for I learn that the condition of tjie asylums in New Zealand is at the present time in many respects very deplorable, and I am told that the work was so disheartening and laborious to my predecessor that it literally killed him. I don't intend, however, to let the duties kill me if I can carry them out for the benefit of patients and the attendants who have charge of those patients— (applause)—butif Ifind the ease to be hopeless, I shall return to the Old Country, and then, perhaps, I may see many of you again.

We have received a lengthy communication from "Index," of Kamo, in relation to the Whangarei High School. He states that the Whangarei High School Board have purchased six and a half acres of laud from Mrs. G. Taylor, for the new buildings, at the rate of £(J0 per acre. His grievance is that the site is not central, anil will not convenience the greater proportion of settlers, while the interests of the residents of Kamo, Kuatangata, and Kaurihohore are completely ignored. He avers that a ceutral site was suggested by Mr. O'Sullivan, Inspector of Schools, which could have been obtained for a fourth of the price—namely £15 an acre— and he desires to know whether cliqueism or the public weal should prevail.

Rouse, and Alfred Hosking (secretary), set to work for the purpose of fencing the ground.

Bilkey (labour only), for putting up the fence was accepted. Those who have promised either money or material are respectfully requested to pay to the collectors, or place the material on the ground at their earliest convenience. It is hoped that this will be done, that the work may be completed before harvest operations come on.
