Correspondence.
To the Editor of the Colonist. Sib, —Without introducing my subject by a lot of unmeaning remarks, I will .come to the point at once.
We are always crying out arid saying we have no amusement, that itis nothing but work, work, work from year to year. ETbvv, I think we are very inconsistent; here, on Thursday last, we had entertainment of no mean order, and yet it was not appreciated, atid^poor Harry Hammer the auctioneer had a poor sate. He tried again on Saturday night but he could not get an audience at all, and no buyers. Now, Sir, I was very much amused on Thursday night last, and I believe every one present was equally so. I am sure the character of'the London Prig could not have been better represented than it was by Mr. Brutoni I will be charitable, therefore, and attribute Saturday night's failure to the shortness of the notice giveh, and ;will hope ihat.at the next performance, I shall have^sqmeitpuble in getting a seat. Last Thursday there were so many empty seats p did not know which'to select. ;, In the(mean,timejl;h^pe 7 the Company will adopt my motto—•
