THE PRETTY JANE.

By the arrival of the Southern, Cross we h*ye news from Gisborne to the 24th in stant. Mr. Lodder writes to Captain Daldy that the raising of the Pretty Jane ia progressing rapidly. About 150 "tons of saud had been taken ont of her, and 90 still remained in her. The work becomes more difficult toward the end, as 'he vessel has a strong list to starboird. Mr. Lodder calculates that four ti.ica wouU be sufficient to empty her. Ie i 3 expected that as soon as the.leak can be got at and made tight ohe will lift herse.f This will be tried about Friday. S.E. aud E. weather had prevailed up to the 23.d, when t) c wind eet in off the land. If this lasts the work will be much facilitated.

"THE CREATION OF THE HEAVENS."

The Rev A. M. Henderson, from Melbourne, lectured last night in the Wesleyan Church, Pitt-street, upon the above topic. There was a good audience. The lecturer said that it was hi 3 intention to illustrate the truth of the first sentence of the inspired writings — "In the beginning Clod created the Heavens and the Earth." The period of the Creation was represented as "the beginning," or rather it should read "a beginning." The term " the" waa the sign of an absolute be ginning, which was altogether impossible. The word create employed in the Hebrew was applied to describe the action of God alone, and wa3 inapplicable to the act of an angel, Kiog, or man. It meant origination. The Word of God was accurate in its use of terms as Aristotle himself, and even rrfuch more so. Mennow-a-days, quarter educated, thought that there was antagonism between Sacred Scripture and Science, but in the whole course of his life he had not found one man who could with reason sustain the position. Men now eagerly caught at an hypothesis put forward, and cried it up, but forget that nine-tenths of the scientific world were in direct opposition to that hypothesis. His object was to set forth clearly from ascertained science the facts of creation. He purposed to speak of the heavens as they appeared to man. All that they could see was their own solar system, a family of -worlds with the sun as its centre. It was, to some, easy to speak of distances, but to speak of the relative distances of heavenly bodies there could be no use in employing the ordinary terms. To give any idea of those immense distances it must be measured by light, and when they thought of the velocity of light travelling at the rate of twelve millions of miles per minute, they may have then some feint idea of the vastnes3 of the universe—the fixed stars, as they were generally called, (but there was no such thing as a fixed star). These stars were, in themse yes, grand centres of other planetary worids. The distances of some of these bodies was scarcely conceivable, and light required thousands of years to pass from one point to another. He (the lecturer) referred to comets—their extraordinary ten tiity and specific levity. Tuese various bodies traversed universal space with ineffable order and regularity. Order was Heaven's first law, and where order was found was proof of mind and intelligence. Then there was the vague theory that the universe was infinite but not eternal. Upon close exami nations the theory could not be supported; That which manifested change could not be eternal. Not only was the whole of the vast universe undergoing change, but its several parts were showing signs of constant change To show that change wa3 goirg forward it might be mentioned that Eucke's comet was each time growing less and less, and would ultimately be absorbed in the substance of the sun. The lecturer referred to the various systems propounded by such men as Pro fessor John Tyndal, who were themselves to some extent groping in the dark, and were only making statements at random, and then contradicting them. The Professor himself was partially a coward, was frightened by the report of his own gun. These men just flung out statements that had no support by ascertained facts, and as a consequence, fell through when tested by facts and reason. The object of such men was merely to-sound the alarm and frighten, and afterwards allow their followers to get out of the dark as best they could. The lecture was a masterly composition, given impromptu, and occupied two hours in delivery, maintaining the interest of hearers to the close. A vote of thanks was moved to the lecturer at the close, and carried by acclamation. The chair was occupied by Captain Daldy.

"EAST LYNNE."

This popular drama, adapted from Mrs Henry Woods' novel, never fails in drawing together a large audience whenever it is promised, whether at home or abroad, and last evenm£ it wbb successfully produced by the present talented company, at the Prince of Wales Theatre., Mrs Darrell appeared both as Lady Isabel and Madam Vine, with consummate ability. These representations were displayed with power andfeelipg; that this popular actress was eminently successful and real, was evidenced by the frequent out bursts of applause which succeeded each scene. Mr Darrell's Sir Francis Levison was a masterpiece of acting, and one of his finest impersonations. We have never seen Mr Darrell to greater advantage. Miss Clara Stephenson's Barbara Hare was perfect in its way, and most acceptable in delineation. -Mrs C. Jones was exceedingly happy as Miss Cor nelia; exhibiting all the old-maidishness and peculiarities of that very peculiar personage. Miss Patty Holt appeared as Joyce, and Miss Maggie Knight as Wilson, with their natural and cultivated appreciation of character. Messrs Deering, Poole, Sweeney, and Hill, played their several parts with expressive animation and truth, and aided in giving to " East Lynne " a reality which has not been surpassed by any other dramatic company in this city.

MES. GEORGE DABRELI/S BENEFIT.

We feel that the simple annpancement, Mrs. Gieorge Darrell's grand farewell benefit will take place to-night, will be sufficient to ensure a very large response. This lady, by her amiability, eminent histrionic talent, and frequent appearances in by-gone years before the people of this city, has won a very large amount of esteem. Her name alone awakens pleasant memories of pleasant evenings with the dramatic muse. This lady is about to de part once more on her professional tour, but; before doing so it has been thought that, as is usual in the theatrical world with popular favourites, that a grand benefit performance was due to her talents .before leaving. This (Friday) evening, therefore, has been selected for this special purpose, and the great four? act drama, the "Woman in Red," has been considered as- the most fitting piece for the occasion, as that drama, which was played before thousands in London for more1 than four hundred niglits in succession,, affords this lady an opportunity of appearing as " Miriam, the Jewess." Those who saw her as "Leah, the Forsaken," will be pre pared for her equally successful ''Miriam." Mrs Darrell's abilities; as an actress, her im passioned language, and occasional pathos, are well- known to most readers, who will not forget Mrs Darrell?s benefit to-night.

J* The Auctioneers would call the special attention of Hotel and Storekeepers, Merchants, Speculators, and others, to the many advantages afforded for desirable investment in this new locality—destined at no dis tant date to become the most important mining told agricultural centre in the colony. To the miner the district. offers 'unparalleled advantages,' and has already given promise of great wealth to those who have, spent some time in prospecting it. In a few t short weeks after its opening to the progressive-step & of the gold-miner, it will be covered with a hard-r.) working class, many of them possessing considerable means to assist tuan in developing its_jrfch mineral resources. -Alreadv-hundreds are on-their-WajTrtuifc*- _ new gro\md from other important mining centres, and as its-wealth becomes assured, thousand? more * will follow from far arid near. ' To the dgricultarißt fi and small farmer, the flat lands of the neighbourhood,JL,% with their ready means of communication along the finest navigable river in the colony., which runs throtrgh its centre, the Upper Thames offers great ;advant»gesf. and it will very soon be'occupied by a great produce producing, as well as gold-mining, community, -he Paeroa Township is situate at the head of navigation, about ,28. nriles from Shortland; and as far MWf rTW trict has been: prospected -at present,-it is found, taxii occupy a central position betweenthe auriferous hills of the district—the gold discoveries of the Waitekauri^-j-g being Bituate some three miles on one sji&c, and the Gorge about four miles on the other. The-Pfteroa Will, therefore, be the centre of population *for me two - places, and the landing-place for all goods. Good dray roads are now being made between the two places through the Paeroa Township, and many substantial erections are^inprogi-ess. Some half-dozen steamera »re daily plying to the township, from Shortland. The township has been- well laid.out, ; with,due regard ~ « to the sanitary welfare of-a large population w : iw } a arrangement, r; and reserves ihave been made rfor rehgioua and charitable pui-poses. Theterms of sale r ,, - are made subject to a/nominal rental of 10s for-eacb I allotment, so that purchasers may be assured of E j interrupted possessioa for the full term of ittteen yeara. nrifru JS hiff"ri ■'-■ -' r'~ eflfiE ' :i' • ps i-plans iare now ready, and can be Obtained at P»-uf the offices of Messrs Jackson* BusseU, and Brasaey, 'R} or at UieThamesAdvediser, Grahamsitown, and from1 ■■SAMUEL^COCHRANJE &'s6 r N,/", • '■'■■'- -•'' Aqcttoiieerg ■ * "**' y ; ; -':'. :corn; exohange.-/);;; .-;1" i ' ; 0 d I i T:"-AN;."E;A RLY DA;T|^ -';'' IV ..: J'i"':"'^^M).;W v ßmNEY:':\ ; ; .;„;:;« - l iT by'public auction, at the , :;|S WJ '" Corn Exchange, at, an early date, 45 trunks Seasonable Boots and Shoes. ;: Particularß in future advertißement.. ! -" &B& ---■'■ TUESDAY, MARCH 2.
