NELSON.
[From the Nelton Examiner, Nov. 20 & 27.] Wool Packs. — Our clip of wool this season will nearly all be sent home in packs made in the settlement of native flax. These are manufactured by Mr. Devaney, and sold at the prices charged for English packs, and are in every respect equally as good. We are glad to see the infant manufactures of the settlement receiving encouragement. The Brightman, chartered by Captain •Fearon, has made a very favourable run from Sydney of eight days, < and brought a large importation of stock, having landed sixteen horses, fifty-one head of cattle, and about fourteen hundred sheep. The loss on the voyage was but trifling. Among the horses there are some superior animals, and the cargo generally appears to have been well selected. Commencement of Harvest: — Mr. Snow commenced cutting a nine-acre field of barley on Thursday last, in Waimea East. This, we believe, is the first corn cut this season, and the earliest which has ever ripened here.
