ADELE ISLAND.
To THE EdTOU OF THU 'NIiLSOK EvENIXG MAIL.' Sir — I omitted in my letter in reference to Adele Island, .to state tli:;'t a great amount of the granite, and purticuLirly the conglomerates, are strongly impregnated with the oxidf of copper. I leuve a small sample with you. which 1 happened to find iv one of my pockets this morning. Ido not attach much import- - ance to this, but think it necessary, when describing a place to the public, to afford every information rhut came un<ler my notice. Therefore lat once avail myself of the opportunity of rectifying this omission, and tru.st ihat you will give publicity to the same. I am, &c, Saml'el Symms. Nelson. 3rd June, 1867.
