YESTERDAY’S NEWS.

As this evening’s representation will be the last one of “Formosa,” we would mend those who have pot y.ej seen it not to this opportunity.

There was another crowded house at the Masonic Hall last evening, when Madame Cota Lamond went through the programme of the previous night with undirainished success. A man named Alfred pbampness, who has been under polipe surveillance for several years, was received into the gaol yesterday evening, having been committed for trial at the ensuing sessions of the District Court, Tokomairiro, on five separate charges of obtaining, by means of valueless cheques, various sums of money and one horse from p rsons in the district of Fopotuna aud Clinton.

During the Governor’s visit to Queenstown, an excursion on the Lake in the steamer Antrim was projected. His Ex ellency rose on the morning selected at half-past eight o’clock, and on proceeding to the steamer, found that the Mayor of Queenstown was the only person there to receive him. Everybody appeared to have overslept himself, and the neglect of punctuality by those who were to accompany the vke-regal party appeared to annoy Sir George, who, to teach them a lesson, gave orders for the boat to start on th£ voyage at once, and wait for qo one. The J yrpw Observer remarks that it is reasonable to'’suppoke the Camp officials were fearfully gold, as when the dignified party arrived at the jetty they had" the mortification to observe the Antim a couple of miles on her journey. Our readers can judge of their feelings.
