PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

The drama of "Man and Wife" was re peated last evening at the Prince of Waleb nf leatre, witb similar success as that of tha ■'' \lJ!t^ r Mr and Mrs Darrell repre rallpatTOrpal characters in the most ,-'tyear 8- ,/ an( j wOll applause of the house. The piece, as we stated yesterday, T?as well put upon the stage, and enthusiast! cally received. The play is of a lively and varied dtfciiption, and even the less promi nent parts -were supported by a company, admirably trained and calculated to anm«e an audience and sustain the interest of the several acts. Mrs Darrell, as Aune Silvester, was really excellent, as was the Geoffrey Delair.ayne of Mr Darrell. Great credit must be ungrudging awarded to Miss StephenFon for her faithfully executed cha rioter of Esther; also, to Mrs Jones and Miss Maggie Knight for their performances. The lass n«med lady was very effective as Miss Blanche, and Miss Patty Hole did her best to render Mrs Glenarni cor rectly. Messrs. Deering, Holloway, poole, and the other performers helped to make " Man and Wife" a pleasing success. This evening will be presented Mr Browne's drama of '.Rube Eedmond,' illustra tion of life in the backwoods, to conclude with the comedietta of the " Rough Dia mond." In " Rube," Mrs Darrell will represent the heiress, Helen Crawford, and Mr Darrell will appear as the hunter of the backwoods, which gives the title to the Diece. The drama is in five acts, and embodies a love-story with many romantic associations. The management deserve commendation for their endeavours to popularize the theatre by the introduction of pieces of a purely moral tone of thought and action. The entertainment will be varied each night during the present week, and the season so auspiciously commenced will we opine be more successful in a pecuniary light than those which preceded it.

WELLINGTON.

(From our Own Correspondent ) This day.

Railway Works- A good many letters have lately appeared in the papers complaining about the extra ordinary dilatoriness in carrying on the bridges, heavy cuttings, and tunnel, on the Masterton railway. It appears, upon en quiry, that the very reverse is the case The bridges are progressing with all reason able despatch. In one deep cutting a*large gang of men are constantly employed, and since the long days set in they hare been working two shifts a day; all hands working an hour in the middle of the day. In the main tunnel Mr Biackett says a full comple ment are always at work. About forty are working in three shifts. The progress made is|about three feet per day. Customs Changes. Mr Brewer, of the Customs, late of Auck land, will be leaving for Auckland in about a fortnight. He has made himself rather popular during his stay, and being generally considered a very smart officer, he will be , missed for a time at least. New Colonisation Scheme- A meeting of gentlemen interested in the Emigration and Colonists Aid Society, was held yesterday. The meeting was not pub- He, but it is pretty well understood that a new scheme in connection with the Fielding • Block is in contemplation, the object being to'form a company to take the whole block ovist from the Association. The rational of tho arrangement will be, that if this new move can be carried out successfully, the wealthy, but needy or niggardly, promoters of the Association will pocket a large sum of ; money at the expense of the colony, without having had to put their hands into their pockets at all.

OHINEMURI. TOWNSHIP OF P AERO'A, At the Head of the Navigation o,?! the Ohijsemtjri River, To be .sold at the ACADEMY OF MUSIC, i GRAHAMSTOWff. HHFE Subscribers have been favoured X with instmctions from Messrs Jackson and Russell to sell at the Academy of Music, Grahams town, on Saturday, 27th February, commencing at 11 o'clock, ■ i 300 ALLOTMENTS in the TOWNSHIP of P A E R O A, Situated at Ohinemuri, to be sold for a teimi of 10 years, at a nominal rental of ten shillings per annum for each allotment. The Auctioneers would call the special attention of Hotel and Storekeepers, Merchants, Speculators; and otherp, to the many advantages afforded for desirable investment in this new locality—destined at'no dis tant date to become the most important mining and agricultural centre in the colony. To the miner the district offers unparalleled advantages, and has already given promise of great wealth to those who lave spent some time in prospecting it. In a few short weeks after its opening to the progressive step of the gold-miner, it will be covered with a hard working class, many of them possessing considerable} meanß to assist them in developing its rich mineral resource?. Already hundreds are on their way to the new ground from other important mining centres, and as its wealth becomes assured, thousands more will follow from far and near. To the agriculturist and small farmer, the fiat lands of the neighbourhood, with their ready means of communication along the iinest navigablp/river in the colony, which runs through its centre, the Upper Thames offers great advantages, and it will very soon bo occupied by a great produce producing, as well as gold-mining, community. The Paeroa Township is situate at tlie head of navigation, about 28 miles from Shoitland ; and as far as the dis trict has been prospected at present, it is found to occupy a central position between the auriferous lulls of the district -the gold discoveries of the Waitekauri being situate some three miles on one sitnO, and the Gorge about four miles on the other. The Paeroa will, therefore, be the centre of population for the 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 in progress. Some half-dozen steamers are daily plying to the township from Shortlana. The township has been well laid out, with due regard to the sanitary welfare of a large population in its arrangement, and reserves have been made for religious and charitable purposes. The terms of sale a'-e made siibject to a nominal rental of 10s for each allotment, scfthat purchasers may be assured of un interrupted possession for the full term of sixteen years. Ps Plans are now ready, and can be obtained at the offices of Messrs Jackson, Russell, and Brassey, or at the Thames Advertiser, Grahamstown, and from SAMUEL COCHRANE & SON, Auctioneers THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 25, At 12 o'Olock Koon.
