Assembly Room. — Monday's programme was repeated at the Assembly Room last night, when Miss Bowring delighted her audience once more with her splendid acting as Lady Macbeth. The other portions of the programme were played with much spirit, and were deserving of a far better house. Another performance will be given to-night, comprising the comedy " How to rule a Wife," selections from " Macbeth," and the laughable burlesque entitled "Aladdin, or the Wonderful Scamp." A person just down from the Wairau goldfield, assures us that he saw and weighed a nugget of unusual size a few days ago, found in Bartlett's Creek. The weight named was 16 ozs. 8 dwts., and the Uuder was a man named Welsh, alias the " Flower of Wheat." We have also been shown a quantity of shotty gold found at Mount Patriarch. — Express, Oct. 22.
