Correspondence.
To the Editor of the Colonitf
Sir,—Seeing a paragraph in your last publication to the effect that the General Wool passed me on the voyage from Melbourne to New Zealand, and again in the Examiner of yesterday, " the Active having left before the General Wool and consequently brings no news," and being, as my name implies, ". Wide Awake," I do not like to allow such unfounded statements to go uncontradicted. I ..therefore beg to say in ivply to your error that I left Melbourne Heads two days after the General Wool, and arrived at Taranaki four days before she arrived here; and in answer to the error of the Examiner bog to enclose a Melbourne Argus of the sth instant, which will give you later English news. By inserting this you will oblige, Yours obediently, ™, '~ "ACTIVE." Nelson, May 27th, 1858. : -'' '
