A peculiar case is being tried at Fort Adelaide, at present, connected with shipping practice. A vessel recently arrived at Port Adelaide from America, and the captain now seeks to deduct from the wages of a number of the crew 1 one day’s pay, which he states was lost by passing the 180th meridian. He has pointed out that the men knew all about the arrangement, and appeared satisfied; ,that the arrangement exiataia.utheiL:'porto, and. that thavoyage

back to America, after again passing the 180th meridian, would equalise matters. H.M.S. Barracouta, which had such an unfortunate experience on her trial trip, when an explosion of her boiler killed and injured several of the crew, besides damaging the ship, is by no means the first vessel of this name in the navy, or the first vessel to come to grief. The premier Barracouta of which we have any record was a cutter bought into the service about 1782. Then there was a schooner built at Bermuda in 1804, and lost on Oct. 2 of the following year on the Jordan Key, Cuba, when under command of Lieutenant J. Orchard. The third Barracouta was an 18-gun bag, built in 1807. She also was unlucky; and then a 10-gun brig was built in 1819 and sold in 1834, after fifteen years’ good service, mostly in the West Indies. The immediate predecessor of the present vessel was a paddle sloop of 1676 tons displacement, and five guns, built in 1851, and only finally paid off in 1877. This Barracouta, when in command of Captain Stirling, assisted in the destruction of the batteries at Pebropaulovski daring the Russian war, and served her final commission in Australia under the late Captain. Charles E. Stevens.
