Thi! barque Ferndale, from Londori, appears to be making rather a long passage. Shi- in now 117 d£.ys 01 The barquentine Prince Alfred rived at Lyttelton from this pert on the 18th inst., <-'■ 'Cr a pasiage of ten days. , • ~ , , ..

The schooner Ebenezer, bound fithe Thames tc Russell, put into harbour yesterda;- through stress of weather. The cutter Coralie arrived m harbour yesterdaj from Tuirua, with Captain M. T. Clayton, Marint Surveyor to the New Zealand Insurance Company She left Tairua on Friday last, at 7 a.m. Wii obligee to put into Mercury Bay at noon, on account of s fresh gale blowing, with squalls. Remained then until ,i a.m. on Saturday, when she got under way and worked up to Cape Colville, the wind beinf variable, from W. to W.S.W. At night the wine chaDged to N. 7- Passed Tiritiri at oam. on Sunday. Captain Clayton's visit to Tairua was in connectior with the 3chGoner Onward, reported on shore. H< went down accompanied by Mr. Henderson, of th< firm of Henderson and Spraggon, with six carpenters to endeavour to get the schooner off, which was sue cessfully performed. Great praise is due to Mr Henderson and his carpenters for their untirinf efforts in floating the vestel off. after the task ha<! been despaired of by others. They are now at wort putting in a new keil and effecting other repairs s jIH cient to enable the schojner to be brought to AuckThe schooner Swallow returned last night from Tairua haviug been chartered to proceed there with workmen to get the schooner Onward off. Mr. Henderson (of Henderson and Spraggon) having succeeded in floating the vessel and directed the necessary repairs in order to bring her to Auckland, returned tc town last night by the Swallow, which left Tairua on Saturday, at 9 p.m. A strong N.B. windl was experl. enced on the passage. The Onward while lying on the rock in Tairua harbour received a severe knocking about on Sunday and Monday last from the N.E. gale, and but for her strong build must have gone to pieces; as it is she will require extensive repairs on her being brought to Auckland. The ship Dorette, which arrived at Lyttelton on the 18th inst., from Newcastle, experienced a heavyweather passage. She left Newcastle on July 29, with light breeze and fine weather, which continued until the 3lst, on which day a heavy gale from the southeast sprang up, anil increased to a hurricane, the ship lying-to under close-reefed lower topsails, carry *• away the foretopsail. On August 1 the gale continued with heavy sea, which frequently broke right over the ship, washing hen-coops, pig-styes, &c., overboard. The gale continued during the next day. A heavy sea struck the ship, smashing the binnacle, and washing it overboard. In th? afternoon the gale moderated, and sail was made, but had to be taken off, as the wind again increased during the evening. From this date had light southerly winds to reaching Cook's Straits, through which S.E. winds prevailed, detaining the ship eight days. The ship will load at Lyttelton tor Law. —The last number of the Law Reports' " Cases in the S rivy Council" contains a full report of the case of Beal v. Marchais, which was an appeal from a sentence of the judge of the Vici-Admiralty Court of Gibraltar, in fce cause of damages brought by the master and owner of the steamship James C. Stevenson, an iron screw-steam-ship of 1,226 tons, against a French barque, the Bougainville, of 1,190 English tons, on account of a collision which took place in March, 1872, in the Straits of Gibraltar. The following important propositions of law are stated in the head-note to be deducible from the case:—l. A steamship seeing a sailing vessel at a distance of two or three miles ought not, even if the lights of the sailing vessel ate not visible, to take a course which will carry her across the bows of the sailing vessel. In the present case the judges held that, even if the lights of the Bougainville were not visible, owing to their improper position, nevertheless, the James C. Stevenson •'sinned against the rules of navigation laid down for preventing these unfortunate collisions by not slackening her speed, or waiting, or taking any of those precauticns which would have enabled her, before . she took the decided step of porting, to ascertain on what side the sailing vessel was going." 2. In a ease of collision, even if the light of one, vessel was invisible, the vessel will not on that account be held to have contributed to the collision, where theoth*r vessel has pursued a course which of itself would suffice to produce the collision. S. A manoeuvre made too late to affect the collision does not make the ship liable as having contributed to the collision, even tf the manoeuvre was erroneous. 4. Where a steamship is approaching a sailing ship and does : not -know what course the other ship is pursuing, it is her •duty (whether the lights cf the other vessel are •visible ox not) to takts no decisive movement uuUl she can ascertain it. 5. Th® law does not appoint any particular place at which th« lights should ue fixed, but they onght to be placed so as to be properly vtalbte
