NELSON.

The Examiner of the 24th says:—Two youn" men named Thomas White and Henry Cleaver (the latter a son of Mr. Cleaver, who some years ago kept the Plough Inn, at Eichmond), lost their lives in a deep pool in the Wairau River on the 11th instant. They had left Mr. Ockley's, in the Wairau Valley, to gather blackberries on the opposite side of the river, and it is supposed young Cleaver's hor^e became unmanageable, and fell with him into a hole in the river ten feet deep, and that the other young man lost his life in attempting to rescue him, as they were found the next morning clasped in each other's arms. By a telegram received last evening from Lyttelton, we learn that Madame Carindini and her gifted daughters, accompanied by Mr. Walter Sherwin, will arrive in Nelson early in the week. The late dissolution of the Marlborough Provincial Council has resulted at present only in another dead lock. Two m embers of the Council were absent at the election for the Superintendency, which gave Mr. Seymour nine, and Mr. Eyes eight votes, and, unless Mr. Seymour Can secure the support of both of the absent gentlemen, he will not be elected, as it requires a majority of the whole Council, numbering twenty, to elect a Superintendent. One of the absent members, Mr.' A. Munro, now in Nelson, will, it is understood, support Mr. Seymour, but the other absentee we know nothing about.
