The Nelson Evening Mail. FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1878.

We have to express our regret to our Moutere and Motueka subscribers for the non-delivery of the Evening Mail of the last two days, which, we learn, were taken by mistake to Foxhill, instead of being left at Richmond.

At the Magistrates' Court this morning, before J. R. Dodson and G. Gillow, Esqs., J.J.P., William Taylor was charged with using insulting language towards Michael Burke at the Globe Hotel. Mr Bunny appeared for the complainant, and Mr Percy Adams for the defendant. The complainant did not appear to be very anxious to proceed with the case, and after some little discussion as to the payment of the costs the charge was withdrawn. — William Taylor wa* then charged with using insulting behaviour towards Anthony Hurst, whom, it appeared that he saluted on the Port Road thi» morning by putting his thumb up to his nose. The hearing of this important case was adjourned until Wednesday next. We hope to be able to furnish our readers to-morrow with fire days later European news than has yet been published. In the present critical state of affairs there is no knowing what these five days may have brought forth. A steamer conveying the telegrams wa» to hare left Singapore on Wednesday lor Batavia, where she should arrive to-night. An unintelligible telegram reached us on Wednesday stating that " the captain of the Chimborazo" had stated that he believed his men were destined to man Russian cruisers in the Pacific. From our Wellington exchanges we learn that it should have been "the captain of the Cimbria," the vessel which arrived in a harbor in Maine with 60 officers and 600 men of the Russian navy. The amounts of the prizes, £75 in all, to be run for at the races on the Queen's Birthday, are given to-day in the advertisement, to which those interested are referred for particulars.

A meeting of the Volunteer officers will be held at M'Gee's Hotel to-morrow evening for the purpose of making arrangements for the annual Volunteer Ball on the Queen's Birthday.

Me. R. C. Tennent has written to the Patea Mail an interesting account of a recent trip up Mount Egmont.

Natuke is not uniformly generous. To many she denies that vigor of constitution with which she blesses others. While it may not_ be possible to convert a weakly person into a Hercules, judicious tonic medication may, and assuredly does, infuse no small amount of vigor into systems naturally destitute of it, and protects them

against diseases to which they would otherwise fall a prey. The most suitable ihtigotant and protective ii Uflotrim Woura'a bCHtEDAM AfiOMATrO SCHNAPPS.— Advt;
