Wreck on the West Coast. — Mr. Cooper, contractor, who returned to Wellington last evening by Cobbs coach, informs us that a vessel has beea wrecked at Manawatu, and he has kindly furnished us with following information in connection with the matter. It appears that on Monday morning the hull of a cutter or ketch was found on the beach within about two miles of the Manawatu river. The vessel was about fifteen tons burden, and on a board picked up were found the words ' Esther of Nelson,' and in the hull the dead body of a man was discovered. The wreck was above the high- water mark, and her deck and mast or masts were completely gone. The wreck must have occurred during the S. B. gale which blew with great violence on Sunday night, as there was no appearance of it there on that day. An inquest on the body of the man found in the vessel was to be held yesterday morn ing at Manawatu. — Wellington Advertiser, Feb. 14.
