The alarm of fire last night shortly before 10 o’clock created some alarm

and small Consternation among the

large audience assembled at the Princess Theatre to witness the opera “The Gondoliers." The second act had progressed ■'well, and Marco (Mrs Staveley; was ringing the second verse of “Take a Pair of Sparkling Eyes,” the author’s recipe for “perfect happiness.” On this pleasing melody broke the clang of

the central firebell nearby. Several firemen among the audience and others

made a hurried exit, arid as the hell kept iup its clamour, others followed and the hack seats were well emptied. Despite the disconcerting disturbance Mrs Staveley struck to her theme, and finished her song to rounds of applause the encore was given with the clamour of the firebell as a- main accompaniment, but Mrs Staveley went ou bravely, and storms of applause rewarded the plucky effort. The opera then ‘breaks

into chorus, and that merry throng of youth and beauty dashed on to the stage to the strains oT “Here We Are ‘At the rish of our Lives.” As soon as an opportunity was offered an announcement was made from the stage of the loeation of the fire and the <r-

was carried to a, spirited conclusion wit-holt further untoward incidents.
