Winter Evening- Entertainments. — The seventh of this series of entertainments is advertised to take place at the Assembly Eoom to-morrow evening, when Mr. F. Wakefield will deliver a lecture on Geographical Discovery, wbich is to "be accompanied by views of the Suez Caual, if they can be obtained from the Wellington Museum in time, but this, we fear is a little doubtful, as it is possible that the Phoebe may not arrive before tomorrow evening. However, we have no doubt that Mr. Wakefield, who has given several lectures at Wellington Institute, will carry out his part of the programme ia a manner which will entertain and delight all his hearers. The remainder of the evening will be devoted as usual to instrumental and vocal music. The members of the choir and band are reminded that there will be a practice at the Harmonic Hall, this evening, at seven o'clock.
