THE PRINCESS THEATRE.

The farcical comedy "Dr Bill" was repeated at the Princess Theatre last evening, and notwith standing the inclemency of the weather there was a large audience, all part 3of the house being filled. As previously, the comedy was played in a very spirited manner, and was received with marked appreciation. "Dr Bill" will be played for the last time this evening. To-morrow evening it is to give place to "Jane," which, though quite as entertaining, is said to be more refined than "Dr Bill." Charlie Shackleton, a young spendthrift, hiis been left some money by an elderly female relative on the condition that he marries and settles down in life. He has deluded the trustee into believing that he has complied with the condition. The young fellow is rather in a fix, therefore, when he receives a letter from the trustee stating that he is coming to see him in London, and to remonstrate with his wife on her ruinous extravagance. Only that morning the butler (Tipson) and the housemaid (Jane) have married secretly, and Shackleton induces Jane to represent that she is his wife. This, of course, leads to no end of complications, and the fun is kept merrily going during the whole of the three acts. Miss Kemble, of course, assumes the role of Jane.

To give country people an opportunity of witnessing the performance on Thursday, there will be a late train to Balclutha and intermediate stations.
