AMUSEMENTS.
To the Editor of the Evening Star. Sir—That we are not existing in the vortex of commercial prosperity, I think fewwili but admit; yet “ young Reekie,” with all her faults, appears to offer a “harbor of refuge” to “show-men, antiquated comedians, ballad singers, and improvisator!, ” each flocking here apparently with the intent of fleecing her of the few sparks of pecuniary vitality that remains. We admit that we are cannie Scotties,” but if we bave “proved” heretofore, when “Dame Fortune” bequeathed an occasional smile, that we have countenanced such intruders by giving them our little support, surely now that tho clouds have gathered oe’r us, we are entitled to some reciprocation on their part, by their each adopting the same measure, and affixing a limit that will enable most of our hard-working citizens to spend an hour or two at St. George’s as well as the Masonic Hall.—l am, &c., Andrew-. Dunedin, Feb. 4, 1870.
