NELSON.
ANOTHER LARGE NUGGET FROM THE BULLER. The schooner Mary, which arrived on Saturday evening, brought with her upwards of 100 ounces of gold. She also brought another large nugget, weighing fifty-nine ounces, which was obtained on the Lyell creek a fortnight since by a party of Maories. The few wiio are employed on the several creeks arc all doing well, but the Mary brought no further news of particular importance, as the diggers had not reached the port to spend their Christmas holidays before she left the Bullor. That will also we presume, account for our not having received our correspondent’s usual letter. The fifty-nine ounce nugget is of pure gold, and is in shape like a pistol. One hundred ounces of gold have also arrived overland from Collingwood, where the few diggers employed are doing well.— Examiner.
