dramatic force and feeling. The beautiful aria beginning "Oh I half thou pure and simple dwelling"-one of the fi est numbers in the rpera -was sung with wonderful expression, but the effect was greatly marred by the singer'anwkward gestures. Mr. Stockwell's most noticeable defect. however, was an injudicious attempt to force his voice to take the high C, the result being something very like a break-down, which was not at all suprising, as i was quite evident fran the first that he was slightly off colour. In all other respects the tenor's vocal efforts reached a high standard. The music of Mephistopheles has been so ad irably handled by some of the halian baritones who have essayed the rd in this colony, notably Signor Bergamaschi and Signor Ciocci, and the character found such a thoroughly experienced exponent in Mr. Edward Farley, an actor of exceptional ability, that Mr. Arthur Sherwin was bound to suffer by, comparison. His performance was nevertheless a very consistent and conscientious one, and be displayed vigorous evidences of dramatic appreciation for which we had not previously given him crelit. Valentine is about the most thankless character in the entire cast, and it as a great deal for Mr. C. H. Grace's all-round ability that he made so much out of it. We remember Mr. Grace playing this part with considerable success for the Mascotie Opern Company about three years ago, a performance, in our opinion, much superior to this later one. It seemed on Saturday nightthat Mr. Grace's singing powers were much below his best form, his true baritone voice sounding harsh and metallic, whilst the histrionic display lacked many of those attributes which have placed this popular gentleman in the front rank of local amateurs. In the ridiculous death scene, which many actors transform into a hideous burlesque, Mr. Grace's keen dramatic Instinct pulled him through trumphantly, and the finale was one of the best things in the entire opera. Mr. W. E. Crow had very little to do but look handsome as. Wagner, and in that respect he was eminently successful unfortunately he had noopportunity of paralysiog the audience in the vocal line, although he proved a tower of strength in the chorus. By the way the less said about the chorus the better; these noble' warriors all wore a martial aspect, but they sang wretchedly, playing the very devil with time and tune in roost reckless fashion, no doubt owing to insuficient rehearsal. They were encored for their rendering of the Soldiers' Chorus, but the credit for that rests with the Band of the Highlanders, who were all that could be wished.
The scenery was far from good; in some scenes, in fact, it was altogether unsuitable, and in the prologue, where Faust, sees a vision of Marguerite spinning, the arrangement was so imperfect that the picture could only be seen from the centre of the auditorium. Of course, Ample allowance must be made for these short. comings, as the scenic effects belonging to the Theatre Royal are far from being as complete at Notwith- ns they might and ought to be. standing that the opera dragged in some parts, the representation, taken as a whole, Was fairly meritorious, although, always excepting Miss Sherwin's individual efforts, far below that presented by the Mascotte and one or two of the Italian Companies. As already indicated, Miss Sherwin's Marguerite is the best impersonation of that character we have seen in Hongkong, and of itself will well repay a visit to the City Hall. We must not close this notice without complimenting Mr. Clutsam on the admirable manner in which he played the accompaniments from beginning to end.
"Faust" will be repeated this evening, when another.crowded house may be confidently anti- cipated.

How getting well up, and will be ready bout this time next year. The rest are by no means so advanced Almost within a Lone-throw of them is what, when finished, will he one of the finest residences in the district. It in being built by Messrs. Butterfield and Swire for Mr. E. Mackintosh, the present head of the firm in this colony, after the design and under he supervision of M. J. Waddell, inspector of uildings at the Taikoo Sugar Refinery. No expense has been spared to ensure solidity; the foundations are unusually deep and thick, You girders nie used in place of beams, the stair cases are built on a light iron superstructure, and All the iron the ceilings are elaborately carved.
lad wondwork were made and fitted at home, no- cast being considered in carrying out the sugges sion of the architect, and the result is a building it prescrit unequalled in the district for situation or substantiality.

Mount Gough is being very rapidly populated, and building is p A everywhere. The Spanish Procuration are full wing the instructions of their Master by laying house to house on their lot, in the centre of the district. They have three now under way, and contemplate adding three or tour more. Mr: H. L. Dennya is preparing two or three extensive sites near his residence on the summit of Mount Gough, and Mr. Chater has commenced a house near Dr. Adams' well known residence, for Mr. Stewart-Inckhart. On Mount Kellet, near, "Myrtle Black," Mr. Belilios.is building a row of six small houses, and three more will soon be begun. At the top of Wanchai Gap conspicuously visible from the town, two semi-detached villas are being erected to Mr. J. H. Smith's order. In the same locality, but nearer the Sanitariun, Mr. J. J. Francis, QC has just finished a terrace of three houses, On the side of Mount Kellet Mr. W. Danby is building himself a fine house. Besides these new buildings, many of the existing houses are being extended and enlarged.
WOMEN WHO GAMBLE,
Notwithstanding the fact that women are far too excilable for a business which requires the utmost coolness at all times, whether the gambler be winning or losing, there are facts on record which prove that there have been instances in which women have evinced all the nececessary dispassionateness which, successful gambling entails. In Plutarch's "Life of Artax- erxes" an incident" related of Queen Parysatis furnishes a case in point:
In those days (about 40 c.) gaming with dice was a fashionable pastime at the Persian Court, and as Queen Parysalis wished to revenge the murder of her favorite son, who had been slain by a slave named Merahcies by the order of Artaxerxes, she determined to utilize her well- known skill at the dice accomplish the cherished revenge.
One day, therefore, 'she induced the King to play with her for 1000 daries (about 500), and purposely allowed Artaxerxes to win After losing the game Queen larysatis played for a slave, the winner to select the slave which he or she required. The Queen won, chose Merabetes, tortured and killed him, and thus satisfied her. revenge.

Among the ladies of ancient Greece and Rome there was but little tendency description of gambling. As a rule the Grecian and Roman women were too deeply interested in their domestic concerns to devate time ar energy to a business the very nature of which necessitated absolute singleness of purpose and the complete annibilation of family cares. Even when the Roman women were corrupted under the baneful rule of Nero they seldom or never acquired the vice of gambling. Except during the festival of the Bona Dea, betting on any event or game was but little practiced, and even then the individual suma risked, were com- paratively trifling.

In the Times for March 13, 1797, there is a police-court report which goes to show that Lady Buckinghamshire's speculations were not always free from worry. A couple of days prior to the appearance of the report her Ladyship. together with Lady E. Luttrell and a Mes. Stuart, THE Company's Steamship was brought up at the Marlborough-street Police Court and fined £50 for playing at faro, while Henry Martindale, her manager, was mulcted in £200,
Later in the same year her croupier got into trouble through the disappearance of the cash hox. Awkward stories of stolen purses, snuff boxes and clooks began to be told, and finally Martindale became a bankrupt to the tune of L128,000; besides "debts of honor" to the amount of 150,005.
Lady Buckinghamshire, by the way, was not, the only titled dame of the olden days who not only gambled, but kept gaming establishments. One of these professional gamestresses actually applied to the House of Loids for protection against police intrusion on the plea that she was

Being unable to pay, she actually planned a robbery at the house of one of her friends, Mme, Demidoff. Mme. Demidoff was the fortunate Bossessor of a remarkably fine coronet of emeralds. The Countess of Schweichelt by some means found out where it was kept, and at a bail given by Mme: Demidoff she managed to steal it. The theft was discovered; and the Countess adequately punished. Many influential friends tried hard to have her punishment miti. gated, but Bonaparte was inexorable and left her to her fate.
In England, as in France, the passion for gambling has often reduced women of the noblest birth to the lowest depths of depravity. From allusions in old plays such as "The Pro- voked Husband," and from Walpole's "Letters*** and other publications, it is evident that the sacrifice of honor was not an infrequent method of paying gambling dehis.
