5 was the refresh ment stall, and from which the good things were dispensed by Mrs. Burke, assisted by Miss Minnie Burke and Miss Clarke. The bazaar will be con tinued open to-day. The Otahuhu Hall on Monday evening presented a most animated appearance, it being crowded to witness the performance of the Nathan Troupe, who played there for the first time since their return to Auckland. The entertainment presented consisted of Mr. Small's adaptation of Samuel Lover's clever farce of "The Happy Man," which, in its burlesque form, has attracted so much favour wherever it has been played, and which, added to the no less amusing colonial farce entitled, " The Colonial Ser vant," with a ballet for the conclusion, furnish an evening's amusement such as has rarely been witnessed in Otahuhu. So gratified were those present with the success of the en tertainment, that Mr. Nathan received a requisition from a large number of the inhabitants to pay another visit to the same locality before bis departure from Auckland. We have had occasion so frequently before to notice the pieces played that it would be superfluous to do so again ; suffice it to say that each and everything went off with the usual success. On Thursday evening next, little Marion will take her benefit at the Prince of Wales Theatre, on which occasion she will impersonate her great character of "Andy Blake." As already a very large majority of the dress circle seats have been reserved, there is every leason to believe that the house will be again as thoroughly well filled as was the case when General Chute bestowed his previous patronage. As regards the talented little beneficiaire herself, she needs no further eulogy from us ; her wonderful impersonation speaks for itself, and fur nishes her surest passport to favour. A coroner's inquest will be held to-day, at the United Service Hotel, on view of 'the body of n newly-born male infant, the child of Mr. Alexander Smith, of Elliott-street, which expired shortly after birth, yesterday morning. A valuable gold pencil-case, supposed to have been stolen, was found yesterday to have been disposed of at the shop of Mr. Levy, pawnbroker, Queen-street. From information received, detective O'flara went to the shop and asked to see the article, when the case was handed to him in a mu;ilated condition, having been purchased as old gold.
