The programme consists of “Theyouth who never sawa woman,” “Toodles,” and “ the Nymph of the Lurleyburg.” The prices to every part of the house are, on this occasion, to be reduced one half, and as there is eyery prospect of a continuance of fair weather, a full house may reasonably be expected. Intecolonial Exhibition, An exhibition of fermented drinks, open to all the Australian Colonies, will be held in November next. In view of the probability of there being a free trade arrangement entered into between New Zealand aud South Australia as regards their respective productions, this exhibition will afford producers here an excellent opportunity of displaying their spirits, ales, porters, liquors, cordials, &c., in a new market. For all particulars intending exhibitors should early place themselves in communication with Messrs Darliug and Co. of Princes street, who are, we believe, authorised to make all necessary arrangements.
