BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.
(FROM GREVILLTi’s TELEGRAM COMPANY, REUTER’S AGENTS.) Invercargill, May 12. The weather for the last few clays has been very stormy. The rivers inland are still very high. Yesterday the Riverton mail coach was swept away at the Waimatuku crossing. The mails, passengers, and one horse were saved. The coach and other horses are reported to have been carried out to sea. A heavy supplementary mail is lying here for the Nevada. Great dissatis-
faction is expressed at there being no prospect of getting it sent to Dunedin in time.
