The Nelson Evening Mail. MONDAY, AUGUST 13, 1877.

The Lady Barkly returned to-day from the wreck of the Queen Bee. We are informed thafc she is broken in two, the after part being firmly embedded in the mud and immoveable, while the foremost portion is rocked about by the waves. All fche contents that. may be recovered will have to be taken out by divers. We bave been furnished with an interesting account of the cruise of the Lyttelton, but owing to tho pressure on our space we are compelled to hold it over until to-morrow. Several locals are also crowded out. We understand that Acton Adams, Esq this morning forwarded to the members of fche Naval Brigade a cheque for £5 5s towards defraying the expenses of their expedition, accompanied by a complimentary letter. Extracts |from Dr Skae's report on the Nelson Lunatic Asylum will be fouud in fche fourth page. We understand that the ten Maoris who brought in the wrecked passengers on Saturday night are to be entertained by the Bishop of Nelson this afternoon afc Bishopdale whither they will proceed by the 4*30 train On Thursday last Lloyd's agents in this town sent a telegram to London announcing the total loss of the Queen Bee, and on Saturday night Messrs N. Edwards and Co tbe agents of Messrs Shaw and Savill, the owners, received in reply a message, stating thafc the vessel- was not insured. Fbom the Public Works Statement it appears that ifc is intended to complete the connection of the railway with the Port by June next. This is a little "leisurely" for less than a mile of railway. His Lordship the Bishop of Nelson administered the rite of confirmation to thirteen candidates at Christ Church yesterday afternoon. There was a very large congregation present on the occasion. A meeting for thanksgiving in reference to the events of the past week is to be held at the Temperance Hall this evening at seven o clock. A QuADntLLK Assembly will be held in C. King's Booms this evening. We understand thai; the Proprietor of Ghollah's Great Indian Cures is among us visiting Nelson for a few days, and judging from the good reputation these medicines have gained with our community, anysuffering with rheumatism or gout should try to avail themselves of the opportunity of consulting the Proprietor, afc Mr 11. H d- afiebl's, Chemist, Trafalgar-street. [341 6J The leadiug tonic and corrective of the age. Its pnrity, remarkable efficacy in obviating digestive weakness or irregularity he promptitude and certainty with which it supplies vigor to the strengthless, its tranquihzing eflect uoon the brain and nerves, and finally its adoption by the medical profession as a means of strengthening and regulating the vital forces, justly ' entitle Udolpho Wolfe's Schiedam Aromatic Schnapps to be regarded as the leading tonic and corrective of fche age.— Advt.
