Me. Georghb Cottekell's Entertainment. — Unfortunately thethreatening state of the weather prevented such an audience as we should have wished to see being present at the Agricultural Hall, Richmond last night. Several persons however braved the muddy roads and stormy sky, and. all appeared to be delighted with the entertainment, and we certainly do not wonder . at it, for Mr. Cottereil came out in great force, and to our mind, quite eclipsed any of his previous performances in Kelson... -•' - . Accident. — As a young man named Harvey Cundy was riding into Nelson last evening, his horse became restive and threw him with great force near the Fleece Hotel. Dr. Cottereil happened to be passing at the time and immediately attented to him, when fortunately .it. was found that he had sustained nothing more serious than two or three severe contusions, one of the worst of which was on the side of the head; We are glad to hear that altVough; " suffering great" pain he :is progressing favorably; '' Steameb Bruce.— We are J informed that a telegram has been received in town stating that the steamer Bruce was ashore ', ,at < Greymouth, but that evieryttung i was ; safe.
