The Nelson Evening Mail. SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 1877.

At this morning's sitting of the University Senate, Mr Gisborne moved that the sittings be open to the public. Mr Carleton moved as an amendment that they pass- on jbo the next order of the day.

The Customs receipts for the week ending to-day were £910 3s 2d. The flrebells made a great noise to-day about half-past twelve, and a crowd of people instantaneously appeared in the streets as if by magic. Their number was altogether disproportionate Lo the cause of alarm, which was the blazing of a small gorse bush on the hill at the back of Dr CotterelFs. The Brigade turned out, there were sounds of horses galloping through the streets and the tinkling of bells on the hose carriages they were drawing, the tiny column of smoke that had set the alarm bells in motion disappeared, and .once more all was peace. We have to acknowledge the receipt from the Mansion of Peace Lodge, Wakefield, 1.0.0.F,M,U., per Mr It. M. Smith, of a

cheque for £3 for the Motueka Relief Fund,, accompanied by a note expressing regret- that, owing to the small number of members, the amount was not larger. The Secretary desires to acknowledge the following : — Richmond Boys' School, £3. 3s; S. Biggs, 10s; Miss Biggs, 10s; Mr Howlett, 10s ; A Friend, Waimea .Road (per Bishop of Nelson), £1. The attention of members of the Committee and others holding lists is directed to an advertisement which appears elsewhere requesting them to send in their lists before the loth instant. Thh Church Messenger reports that a bell weighing Bcwt is on the way out from England for All Saints' Church." The members of the Naval Brigade will take a trip to Motueka to-morrow, accompanied by a few friends. The Aurora will leave the boat shed at five o'clock in the morning, arriving at Motueka at breakfast time, and will start on the return trip shortly after dinuer. Members of the Brigade will be sorry to learn that the cook of the Aurora is indisposed, and that consequently they will have to forego their usual cup of coffee tomorrow morning. ■;owing to some blundering on the part of th.c Post Office officials in Wellington, the Ausiralian mails per Arawata were nor, forwarded by the Kennedy, which arrived fro.v there this morning, but were left on board the steamer which brought them from Mel-, bcjurne. The consequence is that the opportunity of answering correspondence by the rejturn mail will be lost. ;It is notified elsewhere that ratepayers whose rates are left unpaid on tlie 31st inst.' will not be entitled to have their names placed on ; the citizens roll. | jNo Traveller or Voyager, or resident in, an unhealthly region should be without a' supply of : Udolpho Wolfe's Schikdam [ Aiuo:i vtic Schnapps. It is the best possible antuioie to the effects of any poisonous element that may exist in the water or the air, a preventive and cure of the sea sickness, ajpositive remedy for indegestion, a good restdrative for the convalescent, an excellent appetiser, an anodyne for the sleepless, a gentle and harmless diuretic, a constitutional iuvigorant, a cheering cordial for the despondent, and the only stimulant which can be safely introduced into the sick room or used for hospital purposes. — Advt.
