MR SEVERN'S LECTURES.

The subjects of Mr .Severn's lecture last even ing at the Lorne-strect Hall, Avas electricity, galvanism, magnetism, and electro-magnetism, AA-hich he explained and illustrated in his hiek 1 and satisfactory manner by means at hand. Tlie several subjects Avere successively intro duced and elaborated, and their capabilities proved beyond a doubt. Brownlow's electric lamp was used for the reflection of objects upon tho screen, and in like manner the process of generating galvanism was sheAvn to the audi ence. Mr Severn referred to the numerous gross errors contained in the " Treasures of the world" a book by W. Davenport Adams. That book contained at least three hun dred errors. Mr Severn might have re ferred to other work's of this author, or com piler on the same grounds. Adams was for some timo editor of the "London Journal." and since that period has been a literary adventurer, or what was formerly termed a •'book-seller's hack." A number of interesting experiments Avere exhibited, to the evident delight of those who witnessed them. The last lecture of the series will be delivered this evening, including in its programme the earlh and its satellite, rotation of the earth. andAVonderful photographs of the moon, first, quarter, and at full, with a number of magnificent views of the mountains and craters. The whole to conclude with views of things animate and inanimate.

THE SCENE AT THE THEATRE ROYAL.

(To the Editor of the STAIt.)

Sir, —In justice to my Avife (Rena) alloAV me to allude to the statement in your issue of the 16' th, beaded "Scene at the Theatre Loyal." The facts are simply these : The friends aviio accompanied her to the theatre were three children. After being admitted as on previous occasions, " Avithout a pur chased ticket or an order," she avus informed by an attache that Mr DeLias required tickets for the children. Her reply Avas, " Please ask Mr DeLias to charge it. to Mr Maeder," upon Avhich he AvitlidroAV, but re turned to say, " Mr DeLias says lie must have tlie tickets." Tliere Avas no alterna tive (not having the necessary six shillings) but to leave the theatre to'procure the amount. I sent the money to the box-office, and the children remained in front. This discourtesy to my Avife, and Avant of confidence,' for .the moment made me neglectful of my duty and respect'to the public and Mr Emmet. There was no "unpleasant altercation" between Rena and the "custodian of the portal," who pel-formed an unpleasant task in a . most gentlemanly manner. I expressed my regrets to Mr Emmet later in the evening, and the apology Avas accepted at the time. The public, in all fairness of spirit, will I ant convinced, in making allowances for provocation, be lenient in according a verdict. By giving space in your valuable columns for this explanation, you avi'll greatly oblige, yours, with respect, FRKD. L. Maeder.

The annual report Avas next read, and was of considerable length, stating that the total cost of the building, fittings, etc., amounted to £1,000, being about £2,200 more than had been realised by private subscriptions. It AVas thought to mortgage the building, but they found a prohibitory clause in the Auckland Institute Act. It was next con templated to obtain an overdraft at the Bank of Npav Zealand for £2,000, on the credit, of the members, and endeavour to get an amended Bill through the House of Representatives. Through the action of the Hon. Mr. A\ hitaker. however, a vote of £'2,200 in their favour was assented to. The balance-sheet was read, and shewed the receipts, including Government grant. £2,200; receipts from Exhibition, £-11 Ss Gd, &c., to be £2,028 3s :;d.

He also pointed to the important fact that the debt on tlie building had been cleared by Ihe grant of the General Government. He Avas also glad to state that they had now acquired the custody of the Provincial Council library. After some remarks from Mr Chamberlain, the adoption of the report was seconded by Mr C M. Mi-ford, and carried. Mr I.uekie suggested a donation box, to be placed in sonic conspicuous part of the building, the contents of which at the close of the yeai* might be of some Aveight. On the motion of Mr Healc, seconded by Dr Purchas, It. C. Barstow Esq., R.M., was elected President for the ensuing year, and the following gentle men were elected on the council: Mr Justice Gillies, Dr Campbell, Col. Haultain, Hon.

Aveek to consider correspon dence, examine accounts, and report upon all matters referred to them by the Hoard, and be paid a fee of one guinea for each attendance at a Committee meeting at which there is a quorum present. Mr Mays urged his motion in a fluent speech. Captain D. H. McKenzie seconded the motion pro forma. He approved of all of it except the money part. Mr Meyers asked if the matter could not be referred to a Committee. (Laughter.)

!\lr M. Niccol suggested, as an alteration, that, instead of electing a Committee every month they should appoint a Committee of live annually, which Avould be a sort of executive to act with the chairman.

.Mr Mays would not accept the alteration

Mr Niccol moved an amendment in ac cordance Avith his suggestion.
