Wellington French Circle. A very enjoyable entertainment was given, by tho French Circle in the Mariuo Engineers' Institute last evening,a largo number of people being present. The- first part of tho programme was wider tho direction of Mr. James Dykes, hon. i-ecretary of the Wellington Savage: Club, thoso contributing to it being Savages—such well-known ones as Mr. Borneo Gardiner, Jlr. D. Kenny, Mr. Porter, Mr. Brown (who showed some of his clever paper work, tearing paper into various resem-j blances), Mr. A.. Newton, and Mr. Dykes. A little speech of thanks to I

tho. Savages was made- by the Hon. R-ig'g, and then supper was handed round. The second part of the programme was taken up with a French play entitled "Lo Major. . Cravachon," arid, perhaps, for it was not everyone present . who was acquainted with

French, it was just as well that there was a translation giving tho. substance of tho play to bo obtained. An obdurate" father, ,a pretty daughter, suitors, tho trouble being ivifch tho father that nono were sufficiently irasciblo for him, a duel, masquerading by a friend of tho. daughter, and by the lover, complications, and finally n clearing away of the difficulties —these arc tho points upon which the play centres itself, though they aro not all acted before tho eyes of tho audience. Tho part of Major Le Cravachou was taken by Mr. L. Dußou, who appeare dto bo thoroughly at homo in his part. Dervieros (in lovo with the pretty daughter) was acted by Mr. Adamson; Antoniu by Mr. Chapman; a nfitary (another lover) by Master Duflou; Olympo by Miss M. Putnam, who acted with great vivacity and daintiness; and Amelio by Miss M. Pollock, in the disguise, hardly inipenotrable, of an officer. It was most amusing to watch and speak, for the gain that is mado in the knowledge of French, by being a niombcr of the French Club. , ■
