Cc.!o:.<7 Huulf..';>n occupied the chair, and a choir, mule? the leadership of Mr Sea brook, was present, and er_..ve_.o« the evening with occasional musical renderings, well executed and well rvc-nvod. Tho lecture was characterised by deep thought and extensive acquaintance with the ahu.Ht, endless theories of ancient and r-e t ._-._ i_;___o3oi.liic schools, and as a defence o)" tho nible vw.s as vigorous and valiant as any lover of orthodox Christian ethics could desire. The rev. ;.._.;.t!.-m.in epitomised the leading form.--: o. o'\j.-etive theories, and exhibited their strancre c .;vtr.u-iti.v>and contra dictions, and üb!.v earned thai: while theory, as opposed to the accept.:--;, ilib.o tuaomngs, was legion, the Bible stood in ail aires still tho saiuo uncontrovertible Word of God, and unchange able record or triuh. And so far .from science disprovin.? any o:! the testimonies of the Bible, she had, wherever her utter ances were positive, and not merely theo retic and hypothetic, confirmed tho truth of God. The BU-ia and Christianity haa nothing to fear from science. Science was hand maid and nor antagonistic to Scripture truth.

THEATRE ROYAL.

LORD DUNDREARY,

The popular version of " Our American Cousin, was repeated last, night at tho Theatre Royal, with a success eciual to ; hat of the tv. o previous nights, and the r(i.,ese-v: _.-:•.ions and half-sayings ofMrLyttoa Sofchcrn as "My Lord, kept the house continual!v on tho titter. " Laughter, said a philosophy. "is^o-M, as it conduces to health and spirit;?." Two hours, thereforo with my Lord and A;.,i Trot:chard, our American cousin, is of advantage to the people. We duly criticised the priucU.io eharaetera of this play on Thursday, and ._,.■ little to add to what we then said. Asa, with his manliness of conduct, plainness of speech, and nobleness of heart, was a genuine portri_.itin -Jilts features. Mrs Walter Hill's was also a womanly impersonation, and Miss Morgan suo.-s-fiuly sustained her reputa tion as Mary Meit-dith, the merry dairymaid, and bean ideal of a true-hearted girl. In her rustio song she g._ve pleasm-e, and was deservedly roc .rod. The scene m which Coylo, tho interested lawyer, and Abel Murcott appear —Messrs Mason nnl Burford-was fairly exe cuted. The sever..! other subordinate characters possessed merit. Th-.; r.-adii.^of Sam's hrmorous letter, with interlineations, by Mr Sothern, created roai sof i.-.i. _.i.ter. I'erhapa the winding up of the play ,vi_s i-a-thcr too lona. otherwise the whole perfe:-ii;._a:'.e wo-* witty and agree able, and it will bejvepcat-d this evening.

THE HON. THOMAS DAWSON ON CALI FORNIA.

The Hon. Thomas Dawson delivered a lecture in Remuera Hail oa Thursday evening las* upon California. There was a largo attendance. Mr Whewell occupied the chair. At the close of the lecture the Rev. Mr Mur.ro moved a vote of thanks to the lecturer, which was seconded by Mr Russell, and cordially endorsed by tho audience. Mr Dawson save a graphic descrip tion of Califorrdan scenery ami the attractions Of tho climate- lie dw 11 at some length on the greatopportuni tie-otfored for money making aud the vast resources of -he country. After giving a running ske: eh of the early history of the fotate, he spoke of the discovery of gol.Y and the intense excitement which it produced throughout the world. He a'so ;<' r-'bM out tho immense wealth which had acr-mrr, .o the state from the develop ment of the miner:., c.n-i stated that the San Fran cisco Stock Kxehange Board did 22-',OOO of dollars business in 1875, 225,000 in 13/6, and 120,000 last year. The- early settlement and rapid growth or the city of San Francisco was dwelt upon. Tha lecturer said that whereas 33yenrs ago there was only a single honse in San Francisco, the City now had a population of 31.000, and its comm^-co lust year amounted to 130,000 dollars. Mr Dawson gave some very interesting sketches of the liig Trees, .the Yosemite Vulisy, the Geysers, and the petrified forest. He lies i**r_ proved to repeat the lecture in town, and will probably do so if suitable arrange cio nis are made.

The Wreck of the Kedar.

Further Particulars. McGowan Fcnnd on the' Island. THE schooner Energy arrived last night from tho Friendly Islands, bringing Messrs Pablo Samaba, Louis Oliver, W. Gibson, James Hill, John Morgan, Edward Clever ley, and Joint McGowau, the remaining survivors of the crew of the shipwrecked barque Kedar. and the following crew of the barque Lcota, also wrecked :—Messrs George Reid, Hugh Macintosh, W. Carter, Jamel. Patterson, and Edward MeLeod. It will be remci,Y7,red that several of these crews were brought up by the L,etitia last evening. It ' was then reported that Messrs Jarnies.on (second mate), and McGowan. ot the Kedar, were lost_ on the island of Kan, but McGowan was since found, although Jamicson is still missing. One cf our reporters interviewed Mr McGowan this morning, and obtained from him the following account of his sufferings on Kau:—l landed on the island on the 18th May, with the chief-officer and his party, but at the time I was sufler ing from fever, dysentery, aud ague, and had to be left behind. I wanuered about the islaud by myself, having nothing to eat but grass, and leaves ot shrubs, when i could obtain them. I could not get water anywhere, and had to do without it for eight days. On the evening of the 4th day of my sojourn on the island I saw Jamicson, the second mate, on the top of the island. He was on one side of a deep gully and I was on the other, and I could not t_et over to him. He called out that ho was tired, aud was going to lie there* all night. I also lay down on the spot, and when I awoke next morning I cooeyed to him but got no response. I did'not see him again, and I have no doubt but that he is dead. Alter that time I wandered about half naked, with scarcely anything to eat, and sleeping every nhdit iv the open air, and of course 1 became very weak. On the 30th, after 1 had almost given up hope, I heard eooeys in the distance, and I replied to them, at the same time going in that direction. After some time the persons came up, aud I found that they were two natives in search of Jamieson and myself. They took mc in a canoe to the island of Tafua, and I lived iv one of the native houses for two; days. I [ywas then taken up to Tapuka by a native constable, aud on reaching there I was taken charge of by Mr Watkins, a missionary, who did vvery thing that lay iv his power to alleviate my suiiering and distress. He started a subscription amongst the European residents on my behalf, and the sum of 18 dollars was raised, with winch he purchased a suit of clothes for me. Finally he char teied a cutter at his own expense, and scut me on to Tongatahu. On arrival there 1 found the other survivors, who were under the care of King George. We stayed there some time, and were then sept on to Auckland in the schooner Energy V»b.y the Consul en the island, Mr Wandsley. ;V^ring the whole of the time since my dis-

~~ ted covery on the island, I have ecu tiea with the utmost kindness. AH the other members of the crews are deeply sensible of the kindnesses, they have received, and they desire especially to thank Mr Watkins, the mission ary on the Island of Tapuka, for his exceedingly charitable efforts on their behalf, aud for a large amount of personal kindness displayed towards them. They say that nothing which he was able to do for their comfort, convenience, and health, was neglected. He also, very generously, sent 4 Europeans, 10 natives, and three guides, to Kau, to search for Jamieson. They returned nine days after, without auy tidings of him. We publish the appended testimonial to King George, of the Friendly Islands, at their request : — (To the Editor of theSKvasxixo Stab.) ;:

Sir,—Wo, the undersigned shipwrecked sea men of the British barque Kedar, beg, through the medium of your paper, to express our grate ful acknowledgements for the kindness and hospitality we received from his Majesty King George, of Tonga, and the inhabitants generally, from the time they rescued us from the unin habited isand of Kao till the day we embarked in the Mew Zealand schooner Knergy, But for the timely aid iendered to us by the natives of Tofna, many of our number would probably have perished from exhaustion, having been already 18 days on the waterlogged wreck, almost without food or water, and so weoii on landing as to he unable to search tor food. Trusting that you will insert this, and that it will bo accepted by his Maiesty and his kind people as a sincere exDression of gratitude, wo beg to subscribe our names—Jamms Hixl, KDWAHD CLKVKI LEY, WITXIAM GIUSOJi, JoiIX McGowex, Paulo SAJior-ic, Louis oi.ivi.it, John Morgan.— Schooner Knergy, Auckland, 20th July, 187 S.

POLICE COURT.—This Day.

(Before R. C. Barstow, Esq., K.M.) Drunkenness.—Two gdrunkurds were fined in the usual amounts. Stealing a Ham. —James McCarthy, a man in years, was charged with stealing a ham, value 12s, the property of Mr Holland, grocer, of Queen-street, on the Oth hist.— The old man pleaded guilty, and could not understand why he did lt.—Sub- Inspector Pardv said the Police knew nothing against the prisoner.—Mr Thome spoke a good word in favour of prisoner.— His Worship ordered him to prison for three days, aud hoped it would have a salutary eitect upon his future conduct.—The old man bowed his head and left for the prison van. , . .... Kate McManus.—This incorrigible girl, brought up under the Vagrant Act for bad conduct, was remanded until Monday. Charge Against Me McElwain.— John McElwain was charged with killing three sheep, the property of Dr. William Stcckwell, on the 7th June, value £3 los. — Mr Tyler [and Mr Thome appeared for the prosecution, aud Mr Hesketh for the defendant.—The hearing of this ease was re sumed this morning.—Messrs De .llnerry aud Brown appeared as interpreters be tween the native witnesses and the Court. —Tatara, examined yesterday, was cross examined by Mr Hesketh. He was hunt ing for horses on Mr McElwam's land. It was not fenced. All clear land. The sheep he understood belonged to Cowan. Defend ant was not shouting. He sent the dog after the sheep, but did not see how ho did it. The length of the cliff to where the sheep were driven. The steep part was about forty yards. Had they been driven round the dangerous point they would have been saved. The fern and t shrub were shot. He could not see all that (passed. He saw the sheep fall over on to the rucks below—the ridge of the cliff was covered with moss, short grass, and pieces of scoria. Mr McElwain had a gun in his band at the time. Had often seen him on his land, and always with a gun. On the Monday defendant shot a pig, aud presented it to Hori; it was a nice pig. Cften heard the bang of the gun, and felt frightened. Did not accompany defendant pig-hunting; George and others went. He was searching iv the bosom of the earth for gum. There was a party of nine. It was a great pig-hunting day. Did not like the smell of powder. Did not joiu the party.— Mr Tyler complained of the want of coherence in witness's replies to questions, he wandered from the subject. Witness said he would try. He did not think it would have come to a law suit. He thought defendant was right in driving the sheep off his land. Witness wished to tell his own story at length, without being ques tioned py Mr Hesketh. Mr Tyler consid ered the narration would take a fortnight. Witness : You lawyers disturb my chrono logical ideas. He was not angry with McElwain. Knew nothing of time. Natives took no note of time. To Ai rTyler: Only saw the sheep driven once by Mr McElwain, Hori Pirinui deposed that he was on Mr Mr EcElwain's land on the day in question with Totara, and Poata, natives, he was on the other side of the gully, saw Mr Mc- Elwain driving the sheep. The dog, a dark one with reddish breast and legs, ran bark ing up the cliff' after them._ Six rushed over, and two ran round, the six were killed j on the stones. Theremaiuderof Pirinui's evi dence was the same as that of the preceding witness.— Cross-examined by Mr Hesketh. Pouta, another native, gave similar evidence. John Neal Bethel remembered the day re ferred to by the native witnesses. Uu the Sun day following he accum panicd Mr Co wan to the'foot of the cliff and found six sheep lying there, three iivinu and three dead. Ho examined them, and traced tho marks of a dog's teeth. The limbs of ail were broken, and more or less injured aud fly-blown. He killed the three living sheep with the view of putting them out; of misery. He knew them to be Dr. Stockwell's sheep. —To Mr Hesketh : He was not aware that Mr McElwain had taken measures io keep sheep from his land.—To His Worship : The cliff is about 20 chain from Mr Mc Elwain's house.—Keith Coy, an,manager of Dr Stockwell's farm, deposed that he went to the cliff on Mr McElwain's land, and found the sheep, some dead and some living, as stated by last witness.—To Mr Hesketh : He was on good terms with Mr McElwain. Had seen Dr Stockwell's sheep feeding on side of the precipice. Had had seen sheep in difficulty there, and Mr MeElwain had assisted them from their perilous situation. Mr McElwaine said he had no objection to Dr Stock well's sheep running on his land, pro vided they were kept the other side of the gully from his house. There were no dogs running at large in the district. —This was the case for the prosecution. —His Worship considered the evidence before the calling of witnesses for the defence, aiid_ expressed his opinion that the evidence was insufficient in showing malice on the part of the defen dant. He could not see that what he did was done purposely for the destruction of the sheep. The ease inns', be dismissed. This wass all the business.

THE KAIPARA RAILWAY.

(To the Editor.)

Sir,—Had it not been that Mr A. Taylor, of Mount Albert, mentioned my name at ! the Whau meeting ot Thursday evening , last, I do not think that I should have troubled you with the few following remarks?:—l shall plainly state to Mi- Taylor and his friends that I am the indirect cause of the Government's determination to adopt the low-level line, (for party interest sometimes called the coast line), but not by my influence, political or otherwise,asldo not happen to be a member of that House whoso votes are of importance to Governments occasionally, and to the best of my recollection the following is the purport of what I said to to the Minister of Public Works upon that occasion : "If the Government do not intend to make the line further north than to Helensville, it is of no very great importance if the line is a good or a bad one. but if it is intended to carry it further North, then judging from the opinions of the Engiueer-in-Chief and the District Engineer who condemn the high level line, it would simply be ruinous to the profitable working of tiie line as a whole ; that I was not aware anymore than I am at the present time what i* really considered the low-level line, or if it would go through

my laud." The Minister of Public Works said in reply that he would look into the i matter, and just before he left Auckland \ he informed mo that it would be madness ; to carry the line by the high level. Now, I also expect to be in Wellington in the course of a few days, and shall not be •nvino' them information which they do not Tequire to try and induce them to make the line cither high or low level, but sir f I see any chance of the Government yield in'..- to political pressure (which Ido not think they will do), I shall not hesitate to let the country know the little ins aud outs of this Kaipara line business.—Yours, &c, J. C. ChAMBeKI-in.

" Persons who adopt coke for fuel are scarcely ever known to revert to the use of coal." The value ot coke as a luel, and as a means of economy of coal, is not appreciated sufficiently. A mixed fuel of coal aud coke is invaluable for the ordinary purposes_ of beating, aud still more for those of cooking aud raising steam, as it absorbs tlie smoke or inflammable gases given off by coal during combustion, and lenders the lire brighter, clearer, and holler. Every house holder should buy coals and coke at the same time, and, if convenient, mix them ; smaller bills and satisfaction will be the result. The price of coke is advertised else where.—[A nvr.l _____
