Aebitax op the Barque Otago.—This fine vessel arrived here on Friday evening, at half-past seven o'clock, hut owing to the telegraph officials at Christchurch refusing to forward the particulars from our reporter, we had to hold over this report till this morning. Captain Lunt reports leaving Boston, U.S., on the 15th March; had a good run to the line; was off the Cape on the 17th May; experienced a tremendous hurricane, and was obliged to bear away for Algoa Bay to secure bowsprit, jibboom, and effect other repairs. The •ffect of this gale was to* drive on shore and sink forty vessels in Table Bay; at Green Point, the 3LM. steamer Athens was lost. Left Algoa Bay for this port on the 7th June; had a great deal of easterly weather off the Australian coast, and since passing north. Messrs. Taylor and C#. are the agents for the vessel, and the whole of her cargo, Comprising a variety of American notions, is consigned to the same house. We have tothank Captain Lunt for a file of Cape papers. _ Arrival op the Indian off the heads last Saturday night, afte/ a passage of 92 days from Lizards and.,96 dfys from Gravesend, having sailed from the latter place on the 17th ApriL On Sunday mornuy got on the way again about nine o'clock, andifith the assistance of flood tide and a slight N.l®reeze, reached the anchorage off Officer's PoiJfc about noon.

Entered the : N.E. trades in latitude 22 0 north, £td lost it in 1 4 0 north. Crossed the Equator 18thiMjty, with 1 moderate S.E. trades; lost it in latitude south and longitude 33 0 west on 25th May; from thence light variable airs and calms were ex - perienced till 3rd June, in latitude 30° south, when the wind became more favourable. 17th June, off the Cape, in 43° south ; Bth July, passed the meridian of Cape Lewin; 15 th July, off Taaananiitj in 48$ ° south; Thursday, 20th July, made the Snares; seven am., Friday, off Cape Saunders. From the meridian of tne Cape to longitude 80 ° east, had a succession of heavy nles from N.N.W. to S.S.W., since which time the weather had generally been more moderate.

The two Steamers which are expected to be sent down from Melbourne to Hokitika by Messrs. M'Meckan and Blackwood are the Yarra and Uno. The Yarra is a paddle boat of good power, and of dimensions calculated to suit the requirements of the trade at Hokitika. The Uno is a twin-screw boat, also likely to be of considerable service in discharging cargo and passengers from vessels compelled, by their tonnage, to transship their cargo at Hokitika roads.—Otago Daily Times, July 21. The Steamer William Miskin is reported by the Omeo as having sailed from Nelson for Hokitika, and as having had to put back through stress of weather. On putting back, the Nelson authorities proceeded with an examination of the vessel, which they bad not before undertaken, and her deck cargo, consisting of planks, was ordered to be landed. The Omeo was also officially inspected, and had liei cmtilicates renewed. —Ibid.

NOTICE TO MARINERS. SOUTH AUSTRALIA—SPENCER GULP.—LIGHT ' VESSEL ON TIPARA BEEP. ■ The Marine Board at Port Adelaide, South Australia, has given notice, that on and after the Ist day of April, 1865, a temporary light vessel would be substituted for the floating beacon which has hitherto been moored on the Tipara reef, on the eastern coast of Spencer gulf. The vessel will exhibit two lights :—kfixed white light from the mainmast, at an elevation of 24 feet above the level of the sea, and visible in clear weather from a distance of seven miles; and a fixed red light from the foremast, at 12 feet above the sea, said to be seen westward of the magnetic meridian, at a distance of three miles. The vessel is painted red, has two masts, carries a red ball at the mainmast head, and lies close to the rocky patch, near tie souther* extremity of the reef, with Elizabeth Point bearing S.E. f S., and Long Point N.E by E. In approaching the light from the N.N.W., a vessel should not stand towards the northern extremity of the reef whilst the red light is visible, nor in hazy weather into less than seven fathoms water.

The Tipara Reef is composed principally of sand, but there is a small rocky patch near the southern extremity, which dries at low water. From this patch the shoal extends in a northerly direction for about two miles; the western edge trends to the N.N.W., whilst the south-east edge takes a N.E. £E. direction; its extreme breadth east and west is nearly two miles. In places there are one and a-half fathoms water, but on the N.N.E. part of the reef there are only two or three feet. Its south end lies N.W., distant four and a-half miles from Elizabeth Point; and the north end S.W. by W. f W. from Long Point buoy. Buoy.—A red nun buoy lies off Long Point in three fathoms water, with Elizabeth Point bearing S. \ E., and Long Point E, by N. £ N. Directions. —Vessels rounding the south end of Tipara reef should not bring Elizabeth Point to bear southward of S.E. by E. % E.; and in rounding the nerth end, when bound into or out of Tipara Bay, Long Point buov should not be brought eastward Of E. by N. £N. lo pass westward *f the reef, do not approach the light vessel nearer than a mile, or stand into less than six fathoms water; a N.N.W. course will lead along on. the west side of the reef.

When Long Point buoy bears east, if bound into a N.E.'course may be steered, taking ew!7*as the bouy is brought to bear southeaa&twtird, not to stand into less than four and ahalf fathoms water. When Long Point bears south, a vessel may steer E. by N., and the pilot and harbour master will come off and conduct her to the anchorage or jetty. At night, a vessel in the vicinity of Tipara reef, should not stand into less than seven fathoms water, or attempt to enter the bay until the lights at the smelting works are clearly seen bearing E. by N., then steer for them, taking care not to go into less than six fathoms water, unless well acquainted with the bay, or the pilot has taken charge. The tides in the vicinity of the reef, and Long and Elizabeth Points, are irregular and rapid; care should therefore be taken to guard against their influence when in the stream of the reef or near the points.
