We observe that the large corrugated ron store being erected in Mechanics' Bay, by Messrs. Arehard and Brown is very nearly completed, and will be ready for the storage of kerosene by the end of the week. It will no doubt prove of great convenience, as there is no place near town where kerosene can be stored according to the provisions of the Act. We understand the rates of charging will be one penny per week for every case of kciosene stored up to any number under a hundred ; above that number the price will bo considerably reduced. We be believe in Melbourne the charge is one farthing per week per case, but there thousands of cases are stored at one time. We would remind our readers that the Key. J. it. Jenkins, from England, will deliver a lecture upon Palestine, tins evening, at the Baptist Chapel, Wellesley street. Native Lands Cottet. —This Coxirfc sat yesterday, but no business was done. The argument upon the claim of the Crown to the foreshore of the land of New Zealand was further adjourned to Monday next. A co rkksi'Oxdent, writing from l?ag ]an, says :—" The arrival of tho schooner .Industry at Aotea h anxiously looked forward to by both .1 i.ropeans and na tives. It is hoped it will be the dawn of better days for this, uisuicfc, and that tho King natives will not prove vexatious in the matter.
