The s.s. Wellington 7inay be looked for this day, from Auckland, and theßangatira is also expected to arrive from Weliirigtbii; ' Presbttebian GHtrißCH.^-Divihe* ser- , vices will be held on Suridj^ next, the 16th « instant, by the Rev. Gr. Morice, aa follows: y -i-Puketapu, at 11 a.m., Meanee, at 3 p;m.; / Napier Debatikg Cldb.— lt will be seen by advertisement that the meetings of this society, which have been internaitt«ii : v during the Christmas recess, will be resaraeil again on Tuesday the 18th inst. . *„ Artesian WEtni—We' learn that Mr. H. Williams intends sinking an artesian well in rear of his premises in Hastingsstreet, and that the necessary plant is being conveyed to the ground. We heartily wish this experiment may prove successful. Gaerick Glub.— On Tuesday next the Club gives a performance for the benefit of the Misses Williams. Considering that we are indebted to the Club foe most of the amusement, we have had forborne time, and that they have been at considerable expense in, so entertaining us, we rpust express the hope that, on this occasion, their eftorts will' be rewarded with' a "good house, it | would be simply unfair to leave the promoters in the lurch with any bills to . pay. The public has had, its fun, and should see that the Club is not now the sufferer. The performance oh Tuesday will be unusually attractive, We do not remember \- "AH that Glitters," but "Aladdin": we . know to be, perhaps, Byron's best burlesque. Every one who has not seen it should take this opportunity; those who have seen it will, no doubt, be only too glad to see it again, The piece will be cast, we believe, as follows : —^Aladdin* " a lively boy, but sad youth," by Miss Williams; the Sultan, by Mr. Swan ; both parts which we expect to see well done. Mr. Milner (whose; former appearance in burlesque pro ye,<£ it to be Ms forte)' takes Abanazar, a magician. Other members of. the Club would do well to study, as carefully as he does, the articulation when giving, a pun, without which really good hits are lost to an audience. Especially is clearness of speaking required in' Aladdini "* which puns occur . with fearful rapidity^ Widow Twankey is one of : Mr. Kemp's pet parts. We have seen him in it, and enjoyed his acting, very much. : Thjfcv : .^ Vizier (who, amidst oilier dirty wor^^SJH supposed to have cleaned out the Exchequjflßß will be taken by Mr. Wilson, who, w/g [ ]^hH| no doubt, will be well up in his part. :^^^H hope the Club, will give " Aladdin " c|rJHHB rehearsal, and that the public will suitaHMß .reward, their exertions on Tuesday evenißßHj The orchestra will again, we believe, gHBH their valuable assistance. This is in Iq^^H quite an attraction. ; , . . ; | fP-^^H|
