The lecture is entertaining and instructive, and has been highly spoken of by our contemporaries wherever it has been delivered. The price of admission is within the reach of all—namely, one shilling, and we may take it for granted that the reverend gentleman will be greeted with a largo and appreciative audience. Mrs -Jordan, Dr Drury and Messrs Hawkins, Jordan, and Hornby will assist with vocal and instrumental selections during the evening.

We (Express) were shown by Mr Clouston a Zealandia wool press, made at Master ton by the Steam Factory there. It possesses several features ' iiljat are new, and of great advantage, the upper portion of the press being convertible, so that with less labour than is usually required, and in less time a bale can be filled. The attachments are very simple, but the strength is retained all the same. Mr Clouston by advertisement invites farmers to visit the press at his store, Judge Edwards and his Secretary arrived at Havelock last evening from Nelson, staying the night at the Masonic Hotel, and will leave to-day for Blenheim, to attend the Supreme Court sessions qn Wednesday.
