PRINCE OF WALES OPERA HOUSE.

THE greatest of all the operatic productions of that grand musician Eossiui was the theme of last night's entertainment, and the audience, ■who crowded the whole house from boxes to pit, were kept in a state of the highest delight. This opera is, as most of .our musical friends know, one of the comic kind. Every part was well sustained in every respect, and the orchestra developed themselves in a manner •which must have satisfied every musical hearer. To-night " Lucrezia Borgia" will be brought forward, which we have no doubt will be equally satisfactory with all that this highly talented company has as yet performed in this city.

An accident of a painful nature occurred last evening to a young man named Henry Newport, who was employed at Unthank and Berry's tailing machine, at the foot of the Moanatairi, as engineer. At the time of the accident he was cleaning the cog-wheels of the engine, and used a piece of flannel to wipe off the grease. The flannel caught between the cogs, ahd in trying, thoughtlessly enough, to pull it out, his own hand was drawn into the wheels. The two middle fingers of the right hand were fearfully lacerated and broken, and the little finger of the same hand was also ninch bruised.— Advertiser, Nov. 4. A call of threepence per share has been made in the Moanatairi Union Gold Mining Company. . Thomas Macffarlane, Esq., has been ap pointed trustee in the estate of Solomon John JFernaadez. ■ „ ~ Unless all calls due in the Mary Ann G-old Mining Company are paid by the 20th inst., proceedings will be taken against defaulting shareholders.

THE DEATH OF JOHN COLERIDGE PATTESON, D.D.

Ax Nukapu, 20th September, 1871. Far away, in the Southern Seas, Witli lovely isles around, A little ves?el speeds her way, And bears the joyful sound. Her sails are filled by gentle gales; The sea around's at play, Kissing her bows in rippling mirth, Anon in gladsome spray. She plies among those beauteous isles, Her freight salvation's song- Chaunted for love by pious men, To save a heathen throng. And one is there who chaunts that song Unwearied day by day,— The chief of all those pious men, Who, living, " watch and pray.' He fearless goes amongst the tribes Of savage men alone. And tells of Him in Heaven that sits Upon the " great white throne." He opes their hearts by kindly gifts, By kindness wins their love, And then, unconscious, leads their sovls To worship God above. Ah, woe the day ! Oh, bitter hovr 1 Ah, how can one relate The savage deed of savage_ men, — The pious Bishop's fate." All trusting in their island love, He stept upon the shore, To speak them kind and loving words, But they would list no more. Betrayed by some bad white man's tongue, They'll trust no more his bieath; And soon, by cruel blows struck down, The good man lies in death. Far away, in the Southern Seas, With lovely isles around, A little vessel lies becalmed,. And bears a mourning sound. , Her sails are hanging loosely down, The sea around is sad. And moaning low about her bows, While naught on board is glad. They take the corpse, so lov'd in life, And place it 'neath the wave; And, as it sinks, with tearful eyes They gaze on his boundless grave. On, on, the faithful vessel hies. And spreads abroad the tale;— _ . How many eyes grow dim with grief! How many cheeks turn pale ! But upwards from the Southern Seaa His martyred soul has flown, And reaps the harvest of the sted : The seed that he ha 3 sown. Lancelot Booth.
