THE ECHUNGA. The Echunga, from London via Timaru, arrived in Lyttelton on Sunday last. Arrived at Timaru on Tuesday morning the 16th inst., after a fair passage of 102 days from Gravesend. Lost six days at starting, having to beat down Channel. Left Start Point astern on the 10th Sept., and sighted Stewart's Island on the 12th Dec. On the 14th inst. encountered a heavy gale from the north-west, and had to lay-to under close reefed topsails. Tl\e passengers speak in the highest terms of the kindness and attention experienced at the hands both of the captain and doctor. The Echunga landed about 130 of the immigrants at Timaru. Several of the others who were intended to have been landed there declined to do so, as they did not consider themselves bound to land where no sufficient provision had been made for their reception. The following births and deaths occurred during the voyage:—Births—Oct. 7, Mrs. Robson, of a daughter; Oct. 13, Mrs, Jewell, of a son; Oct. 13, Mrs. Carter, of a son; Nov. 7, Mrs. Millar, of a son; Nov. 21, Mrs. Palmer, of a daughter; Nov. 21, Mrs. Rice, of a son; Dec. 13, Mrs. Rule, of a daughter.

The Late Steamboat Collision.—Having given the particulars of this affair, as reported by the Hunter, we take the opportunity of giving the account as received from the Kerabla. The Kembla was pursuing her proper course, from which she never deviated, when the. chief officer, who had the watch together with the look-out man, observed the s.s. Hunter right a-head, twenty-five minutes before the accident took place; her side and masthead lights being all distinctly visible. On the Hunter being observed the chief officer ordered the helm aport, which would at once show the Kembla's red light. The Hunter still came on, until within a short distance of the Kembla, when she suddenly turned at right angles, bringing her green light on starboard side right across the Kembla's bow. The chief officer then seeing that a collision was imminent, called out" Stop her!" "Go asternf" " Hard a-port!" all which orders were promptly obeyed, as most fortunately the engineer was standing by the engine when the order was given, so that the Kembla had considerably deadened her way before the vessels came in contact, and the helm being hard a-port, the stem of the Kembla caught the starboard bow of the Hunter in an oblique direction while a delay of only a few seconds in getting the Kembla's head round, would have caused her to strike the Hunter amidships, and would have inevitably sunk her with all on board. Captain Mailler, who was in his berth, jumped up immediately on hearing the cry of " Stop her!" and hastened on the bridge. In the confusion four men belonging to the Hunter jumped on board the Kembla, one of them injuring his foot; and when the vessels got apart, a boat was lowered for the purpose of placing them on board their own ship, but the Hunter had commenced steaming arhead, and the boat could not overtake her. She therefore returned on board, and the Kembla proceeded after the Hunter, and on overtaking her learnt for the first time the circumstahce of the young man, John Sedwich, being missing.—Sydney Morning Herald, Dec. 6. The Shawjiut.—This magnificent vessel sailed yesterday afternoon for San Francisco, with a cargo of 1330 tons coal. She was drawing 21 feet 3 inches of water, and some fears were entertained she would not be able to get out, as 20 feet was the usual draught of water allowed to be safe for vessels loading in the stream. However, such an idea is proved to be erroneous. The fact of a vessel of the tonnage of the Shawmut taking such a quantity of coals, and drawing upwards of 21 feet, speaks volumes as to the capabilities of our port, proving beyond a doubt that vessels of the largest tonnage can take their full complenient of coal in safety.—Newcastle Correspondent.
