ARRIVAL OF THE SCHOONER JESSIE HENDERSON.

LATEST FROM FIJI.

Some two months ago a paragraph ap peared in the Star extracted from the " Sydney Morning Herald " connecting the Jessie Henderson with the unfounded report referring to the massacre of the May Queen. Captain Robinson contradicted tbe report in the " Fiji Times." His vessel was never at Erromonga, and was never fired on. By the arrival of the Jessie Henderson "wsft are in receipt of items to the 18th ult., with particulars of the wreck of the brigantino Stranger from the "Argus" of the 4th instant. The total wredk oc curred on the reef off Blunt Island, near Kadavu. She left Auckland on September 15th, and after a splendid run made the land on the 21st day of the same month. On the 22nd she was well clear of the North Reck ; soon after breakers were seen aliead ; the helm wtis immediately put hard up, ;*id as she came round her forefoot caught the knuckle of the reef, and the force of the current and sea put her broad side on to it, and the next sea lifted her clean on the top of the reef, the sea running mountains high. At daybreak every person was safely landed at Blunt Island, with their clothing, bedding, and cattle.

THE FIJIAN CAPITAL. The Star of tho South loft Levuka on the 10th nst. for Windward viafSavu Savu Bay, taking with her the commission appointed to select a site for acagitaL AR Q __. The Fiji "Times" contradicts a rumour that the agreement between the Fiji Government and the A.S.P. Co. for the use of the s.s. Star of the South was not to be renewed after its termina tiOTltWßmonV.W SURVEYS. The war schooner Alacrity has been engaged for three months in making an accurate survey of the islands and islets adjoining Kadavu.

SATURDAY NIGHT'S ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE.

The Saturday Night Entertainment at the Tcmneraiicc Hall this evening is for the benelit of Mrs MfcManus and her orphans. As will be seen by the programme, in another column, an instructive and amusing evening may be antici pated. Mr McKenzie will preside, and deliver a short address, after which a number ot benevolent people will lend their aid to the Sat urday night Company to, make the programme attractive and the benefit a success. Miss Amy Thornton, Mrs Cottingham, Mrs Homer Miss Binms, together with Messrs Ryan, Salt and Fnlay, with the whole .strength of the troupe have placed their services at the disposal of the committee. It jb very gratifying to find so many kindly disposed persons coming;tonvard to assist the widow and fatherless. Mrs. McManus lost her husbond and two of bor children, on her passage out in the Jnirfaishne and lauded here friendless, and without means , and worse than this, her health is tailing rapidly, one of her remaining children is now very ill indeed, so that the generous public will see that this is a case of real necessity and chanty, llio whole proceeds this evening, will be immediately handed over, no deductions being made to pay expense-sin any shape or form, and tins is as it should be The .ordinary charge of 3d will be a he.red to. but any sum above that amount will be thankfully received. The programme and the object should command a bumper house and a liberal benefit. .

THE DIORAMA.

THE exhibition of war-scenes and scenes of the famous Nile, were revealed to the gaze of an intellectual audience last evening., intei-mersed with musical accompaniments by the talented members of the orchestra. This is one of the best things of the kind which bus yet appeared in this city, and the wonder is, that the hall has not been crowded every night, As to-night is the last of the diorama, numbers will avail themselves of the last opportunity of witnes sinii it. The Mayor (B. Tonka Esq)., and the officers of H.I.M. ship, Hertha, have promised their patronage.
