THE PANTOMIME.

The pantomime was successfully reper/ed last evening at the Prince of "Wales 1 heatre, and the songs and dances of the Sisters Duvalli were thoroughl.: appreciated by a large and enthusiastic audience. The man agement are determined that the public shall have no lack of amusement this evening, and so they have issued an enormous fare- Well bill of a highly attractive character, including the two last rets of Shakts pere's tragedy cf "Eiehard III," with the famous com oat between liicliard and Richmond, to be followed by n burlesaus on Byron's celebrated Eastern Poem, the "B-ide of Abydos," which contains some of the poet's finest lints. It is tot intended, how ever, by the power of this bur'esque, to utterly annihilate the poem from the heart of civilisation, buD simply to afford amuse ment by contrast The cbaracteis of Seiim and Tulieka, will be impersonated by the Sisters Duvalli, Mr. Collier taking the part of Mirza. The enteitainment will conclude with the pantomime which has met with such a favourable leception from a discerning audience.

DR. ELLIS'S LECTURE ON THE FIRST MAN.

The fourth, aEcl certainly one of the ablest of the fceries of lectures raven at the Young Men's Christian Association was delivered last evening, in the large room, by Edward Ellis Jisq., M.D , M.R.C.S., on the question "Was A darn the First Man?" The Venerable Archdeactii Maurs-11, president, occupied the chair, and with a few words, introduced the lecturer, who was greeted with loud and prolonged applause. The lecturer commenct d his speculative discourse by referring to the anxiety so generally manifested by thought ful men in respect of date ; the age also, was distinguished by an earnest spirit of enquiry, and no subject was considered too sacred for philosophic investigation. Teachings which our forefathers accepted without doubt were now submitted to examination and analybis, and the verdict of " not proven " iv Scotch fashion, was frequently returned upon sub jects once considered unimpeachable by unen quiring minds. It was not lemarkable, therefore, that the Bible, in the midst of scientific enquiry, should receive a very prominent share of attention, and be sub mitted to the test of modern analysis. The lecturer held the opinion that this could not be a matter of regret to the de vout believer, for if th« Bible be true it could lose nothing by such investigation, whether in relation to its credibility as a history of human life as swayed by Divine influence, or in its authenticity regarding the books of Moses, the fulfilment of pro phecy, or its benign glory touching the Christian system. Sn proceeding to his immediate subject, Dr. Ellis said that men had been accustomed to r> gard Adam as the first of the human race, but it was his duty to vvairn his audience that the idea, in the opinion of scientific men, was no longer tenable. L<arned men thought that Adam could not have been the first man by millions. This opinion need not, however, -be a matter ot app ehension to the Christian. There were five witnesses to be consulted on this head, geology, achseologv, history, lanuuago, and the Bible. Tne lecturer then, at some length, referred particularly to ttiese studies, and related many interesting facts, which mo dern discovery had brought to light, in re lation to each. He also described some of the more distinct of the races, such as the Caucasian, the negro, and the Mon-

golian. He also dwelt with the ques tion of language, and shewed that there were three distinct classes of languages : the radical, the termination, aud the inflexional ; and that the races speaking these languages are equally distinct iv their habits and civilization. " Adam was the child of God ;" made in his likeness, and in many parts of the Scripture a like signifi cance is indicated by the words being placed opposite, or in a suitable position. The banishment' of Cain and the building of a city by his son, implied that if Enoch built a city it must have been inhabited. Then came the natural question, which could only admit of one solution : by other races of men. The lecturer remarked that the^Bible was the best testimony we have as to facts in relation to the conditions upon which human existence is based, and passed to the new Adam the founder of the Christian system, which was the noblest and the best, and had stood the test of critical examination for two thousand years; and they owed their prosperity and hap piness, as England did, to the great blessing conferred by the second Adam, who came to regenerate the world and give, above all the storms of doubt, the glorious prospect of everlasting life. The lecture of which we have given but a mere sketch, was learned, frequently eloquent, and listened to with marked attention. A lady performed several pieces of music on the piano at intervals during the lecture, which closed with a unanimous vote of thanks to the lecturer, and the benediction.

I have tried Mr Hannaford's, of High-street, remedy for nearly a month, and am nearly cured. Mr Hannaford, in my opinion, is a benefsctor to mankind.—Walteb Howe, Moore-street, Auckland." "I am so satisfied of your remedy's curative pro perties, from personal experience, that I have remitted you £5 ior a quantity to send to relatives of mine in Melbourne —J. Thompson, Oamaru, Otago." " My hearing is improving fast, so much so that I can hear my watch tick at the bed's head. Send me another box of the various ingredients —Charles j McKekgan, Ghuznee-street, Wellington." "I have been under the care of that impostor I Rosenthal, but derived no benefit from his treatment. After using Mr Hannaford's remedy for little more than a week, I find my hearing quite restored, so m uch so that I am quite annoyed at any of my friends speaking in a loud tone — Andrew McMillan, Maketu, Bay of Plenty, Auckland."

Sir, —Having derived much benefit from bathing in your Hot Springs, Waiwera, I think it is a duty that I owe to the public—especially suffering humanity—that my case should be made known. Before I went to the Springs I suffered for more than a month the most excruciating pain from rheu matic gout, had to be lifted in and out of bed, in fact was unable to walk without the use of two sticks. It took me an hour to walk from Wakefield-street to the 'Lady Bowen.' After getting to the Springs I bathed twice a day and drank freely of the mineral waters, at least a pint each day, and after six days I felt quite well, iree from pain, and can walk as well as over I did. It is now elevf 1 days since I left and have had no return of pain. j.i' this should induce any person suffering as I was to try the hot baths, I feel sure they will get cured, and if so, serve the object I have in writing to you.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, Tnos. Weaving. Bobert Graham, Esq. Auckland, January 5, 1875. Mr Bobert Graham, Sir, —Understanding you are tho proprietor of the Hot Springs at Waiwera, I think it is only due to you to give a short account of my successful experience of the efficacy of the Springs in the cure of Kheuma tism. I had been suffering from Rheumatism since the year '09, contracted through cold and wet work ing on the West Coast, and from that time until I left the Springs I had suffered periodically from the same. The second bath I took brought back all the rheumatic pains I had ever experienced in different parts of my body. At the end of a fortnight I was free from all pains, with the exception of the ankles (which was always the worst part affected), and with the exception of my feet being very tender from so much hot bathing I am quite a now man ; I have not the slightest pain of Kheumatism about me, not even in the ankles. To parties visiting the Springs I should advise them not to feel alarmed or disap pointed if they find themselves worse the first day or two; according to tho general opinion it shows the action of the waters. Also I would recommend the drinking at least two or three glasses of water both on entering and leaving the bath ; also, sweating in tho blankets, for which accommodation is provided in each bath; and to parties affected with acute Kheumatism I think the more they use them the more speedy will be the cure. I remain, sir Yours respectfully, C. 11. WILLOUGHBY. Auckland, 10th January, 1875. Dear Sir, — In the interests of those who may be similarly afllicted, and in recognition of the benefits I derived at your sanatorium, the Waiwera Hot Springs, a desire to record, the efficacy of the baths and water in the cure of Dyspepsia, from which I had suffered many months. Thanks-, however, to the virtues of the mineral waters, together with a free use of baths, I was relieved of the distressing symptoms, and have since enjoyed the best of health. Yours truly, John Bent. Kobert Graham, Esq. Robert Graham, Ksq. Dear Sir, —Having suffered from rheumatism for some time past, on the recommendation of my medical adviser, Dr. Turnbull, of Christchurch, 1 visited your Hot Springs. After three weeks'bath ing and drinking the mineral water, I am restored to perfect health. In fact, I have not felt so well for years as I am at present. The trip altogether lias been a moHt enjoyable one. I found the hotel com fortable, excellent table, attendance good, civil and ol)ligii :r, pleasant for the invalid seeking health, or tho man of business requiring laxation. I know of no place in New Zealand where a person could pass a few weeks more agreeably tha . at your Hot Springs. Yours faithfully, J. J. FITZGIBBON, Postmaster, Christchurch New Plymouth, 27th April, 1875. sSir,— I desire to bear testimony to the efficacy of the Waiwera Hot Springe, and as my case is a peculiar one, I shall briefly state it. About four years ago I had the spine of my back dislocated in consequence of which I lost the power of my limbs from the back downwards —lost all feeling in them; also, wasting and loss of flesh on my legs. I was quite unable to walk, and was in this state for about three years— could not turn in my bed without assistance. Last October I went to the Hot Springs, Waiwera, and bathed twice each day, and drank at least Vy: pints of the water daily. After six week's bathing" I found the symptoms of life return to my legs. I could lift and use my legs as well as ever; got strong ami healthy; all pain and weakness left me. Owing to the dislocation of my back I still use crutches, but 1 have no doubt I shall shortly be able to do without them altogether, as I can now walk 100 yards at a time without them. I consider the cure a most miraculous one, and feel sure thousands would visit the Springs if they only knew itr valuable properties. I take this opportunity of expressing my grateful thanks to Miss Home for the great kindness I received while at the Springs, also Mr Home for the kindness and attention paid to me by him. I am, Sir, yours truly, S. T. Jolt. Robert Graham, Esq. Auckland, 18th May, 1875. Sir, —I desire to give publicity to the wonderful cure I had while at your Waiwera Sanatorium. I was suffering from Rheumatic Fever, was six weeks in the Hospital under medical treatment for same. I suffered great pain with swellings and stiffness in my joints. I was unable to take off my own boots, aud had to employ a cab to take me to the steamer when I had made up my mind to try your Springs After one weeks bathing, and drinking the water, I got as well as ever I was, and have had no return of the pain, although it is now two weeks' since my re covery, which I look upon almost like-a miracle. I am, Sir, Yours respectfully, Geohge Bevebidge. To Robert Graham, Esq. Thames. 19th May, 1875. Robert Graham, Esq., Auckland. Dear Sir.—l feel great pleasure in testifying to the benefits I derived by my visit to the Hot Springs at Waiwerawera in the year 1868. For years prior to that time I had been subject to attacks of Rheuma tism, which would lay me up for weeks at a time. The use of the Springs proved, after this lapse of time to have taken the disease quite out of my system, having had no relapse since that time. For three months before going to the Springs I had been totally unable to move without assistance from an ittack of sciatica. My object in writing to you is that you may make this public, for the benefit of others who may be similarly affected, without know ing where to obtain relief. My experience leads me ;o believe the Waiwera Springs more efficacieus for Rheumatism, Lumbago, or Sciatica, than all the nedicine the Doctors can give, and only requires to ie made known to become the great sanatorium for ;he South Pacific. I am, dear Sir, Yours very truly, Edwd. Honiss. pj"OTIOE OF REMOVAL.
