The Nelson Evening Mail. SATURDAY, AUGUST 19, 1871.

We have been requested by Messrs M. L. Marks & Co. to call the public attention to an error in their price-list, viz., Collars quoted at Is. per doz. should have been Id. per doz. — Advt. Bankruptcy Court. — Mr. Fell yesterday moved for ao order of the Court to reopen the case of C. H. McElwain of Blenheim, whose discharge was granted ou the 28th July. Order granted. Steamer Taranaki. — Messrs. N. Edwards and Co. havo been advised hy telegram that this steamer with the English mail arrived off Taranaki at 7 o'clock this morning. She may be expected here tonight. It is iotended for her to leave for Picton aud Southern ports same tide. We have also received a telegram confirming the foregoing, and adding that the mail was delivered there at 7.30 a.m., and that a special courier was at once despatched to Opunaki by Greville's Agent, who arrived there at I p.m. Winter Eyening Lectures. — A very pleasant hour was spent by those who were present at the Assembly Room last night, when Dc Cotterell delivered a lecture, that was hoth interesting and instructive on the mechanism of the human frame. A capitally-executed drawing of a skeleton had beeu supplied by Mr. Gully, together with numerous diagrams of the humau frame, which were frequently referred to by the lecturer, and were of great service iv illustrating lo the audience his explanations of the workings of the various joints and muscles. A hearty vote of ihai-ks was accorded to Dr. Cotterell on the termination of the lecture. Funeral of Sister Mart Stanislaus. —A Holemn rtquiem mass is to be sung in St. Mary's Church at 11 o'clock tomorrow morning. The burial service will be commenced in the church at 2 o'clock, and a sermon will be preached, we believe, by the Rev. Father Chareyre. Immediately after this service tlie procession will leave for the New Cemetery in something like the following order : — Acolytes bearing Processional Cross. Acolytes with tapers. The Clergj\ The Hearse. The Sisters of the Marist Convent. The Girls attending St. Mary's Schools. The Boy's do. Members of St Mary's Congregation. General Public. The Poetry of Politics. — Everybody knows that it was determined in the Assembly last year to adopt a scheme whereby immigration and the construction of public works should be carried on simultaneously, but there are very few to whom the words made use of by the Wellington Independent in mentioning this fact would have suggested themselves. Our contemporary in one of those hysterical fits fo which it has been so frequently subject since the advent of the present Ministry to power exclaims : — " The session of 1870 saw the sacred fire of colonisation re-illumine the whole political firmament, and attract by its radiance and warmih, those who had long wandered in the dark mazes of useless controversy." This is the very perfection of penny-a-lining.
