On Saturday last, the following vessels sailed for the Pelorus diggings:—The s.s. Maid of the Yarra, with a full complement of passengers; the brig Wild Wave, with 40; and the Heather Bell, with about the same number. Last night the schooner Kate left with 17, and the schooner Mary Elizabeth with 17. The damage sustained by the funnel of the Maid of the Yarra was repaired previously to her departure. Altogether nearly 1000 persons belonging to this province have quitted it since the intelligence of the discovery of gold was first announced. The arrival of the Gazelle is looked forward to with much anxiety.

The barque Camilla came to her' anchorage on Sunday afternoon at 2.30 p.m., after a passage of 16 days from Newcastle, N.S.W. She brings a cargo of coals consigned to Messrs. Milton and Co., Christehurch.

The Cobio.—This steamer called in here on Sunday afternoon on her way to Napier, for a supply of coals; also, to receive a few volunteers enrolled in Canterbury for service at Napier. She had 17 on board in charge of Captain Corfield. A few days ago Lieut. Tuke arrived in port from Napier, and after issuing the regulations under which the men are to serve, deputed the recruiting to a competent person, and proceeded to Dunedin to assist Capt.

Our readers will find the particulars in another column.

The Minister of Marino at, Madrid has given not,ico that on and after tlio Ist day of February, 1804, a light will bo exhibited from a lighthouso recently erected on Poscador point, the north-east projection of mount, Santona, m the provinco of Santander, north coast of Spain. Tho lio-ht will be a fixed white light, varied by a flash every three minutes. It will be placed 011 an elevation of 126 foot above the level of the sea*, and should bo seen m clear weather from a distance of 17 miles. Tho illuminating apparatus is dioptric or by lenses ot the fourth order. , The tower is slightly conical, 44 feet high, ot white stone with a green lantern. It stands about 30 yards from tho sea, in Int. 43 0 28 1 36" N., long 3 0 28 West of Greenwich. , . , This notico affects tho following Admiralty Charts: Spain, North Coast, No. 2728; eastern part of North Atlantic, No. 2090; River Thames to Mediterranean, JNo. 1; and plan of Santona, No. 75. INDIAN OCEAN—MAURITIUS.— FIXED LIGHT AT ENTRANCE TO GRAND PORT. The Government of the Mauritius has given notice' that on and after the Ist day of March 1864 ahght wiU h« exhibited from a lighthouse recently erected on Isle eage of the reef, at Haifa mile north of the southern entrance of Grand Port, on the east coast of the island of Mauritius. The light will be a fixed white light, placed at an elevation of 108 feet above the mean level of tho sea, and should be seen in clear weather from a distance ot lo m The illuminating apparatus is dioptric or by lenses of the first order. , The tower from base to vane is 84 feet high, and as wen as the adjacent buildings is white. It makes the southern entrance to Grand Port, and stands about 4£ cables E.JN.Ji. of isle Passe, and 3 miles from the coast of Mauritius, in lat. 20° 24' 20" N., long. 67 0 46' 9" East of Greenwich. directions.—A Government pilot in a few months will be stationed at the lighthouse, and will board vessels bound to Grand Port, on their makmg the usual signals. Vessels bound to Grand Port may approach the light when bearing from N. by E., .round by north to W. by S.; and when about 2 miles from it should heave to for the pilot with the vessel's head off shore. Should it be desired to get shelter, approach the light under easy sail till at about three-quarters of a mile from t, avoiding the shoal patch of 6 fathoms water off Laverdie point, the extreme of the coral reef bounding the south side of entrance to Grand Port; then steer so a,s to round isle Passe at tho distance of half a mile, as a spit runs out from its south side for about a cable's length; when haul to the northward and anchor in 18 to 20 fathoms water. It is not recommended to attempt to enter without a pilot, except in cases of extreme necessity. A vessel from the southward bound to Port Louis, round the north end of the island of Mauritius (the usual track), should, after sighting Grand Port light, steer so as to pass it at a distance of about 4 miles; when at that distance, with the light bearing W. by S., a N.N.E. i E. course for 9 miles, if the weather be clear, will bring a vessel in sight of Flat island revolving light, bearing about N. by W. 5 W.; the course can then be shaped as required. A vessel from the northward having Flat island light on a N.N.W. bearing should be careful, after sighting Grand Port light, not to bring it, when at a distance of less tlmn 8 miles, on a more southerly bearing than S.W. by W. | W., or she will be too near the coast reef noithward of the light. The coast reef bounding Grand Port is bordered by a bank of irregular soundings extending some distance seaward ; the lead, if carefully attended to, will prove a tolerable guide in thick weather. Yessels bound into Grand Port should not approach it at night, but should heavetowell southward of the light,as the drift is to the northward, and much time will be lost in working back. Isle Passe on the north side of the entrance is easily known by the battery and other buildings on it. At times the rollers block the channel, although the depth is from 14 to 22 fathoms; and generally the reefs on either side are perfectly visible from aloft. The rise of tide is 3 feet.
