the barometer was 28.80. The upper topsail iwu blown away just before the vessel hove to on the 22nd nit. : A number of gentlemen interested in shipping were preaent at Lloyd's to inspect a recording anemometer and preuore goage invented by Mr. Gordon, of 9 Peroy square, King's cross. Inform the instrument is similar to an ordinary timepiece, and it indicates en a dial, and at the same time records on a ohart the force of wind currents. It was olaimed for the instrument that by Us aid a captain might determine whether a storm was increasing or decreasing, and the exact time when variations took plaoe. By a valuable contrivance the instrument could be placed in a cabin or elsewhere, and a connected tube carried to a point of exposure, the current of air through the tube sufficing to move the indicator. Statements by sea captains were read by Mr. Gordon, showing that the anemometer had worked satisfactorily during trips from London to Dundee, and from Folkestone to Boulogne. Professor Stuart, M.P., had written that he thought the instrument likely to be exceedingly useful. At the inspection it was admitted that the anemometer would be invaluable on sailing vessels and on steamships, when, for the latter, a table of allowances for headway had been drawn np, inasmuch as it would indicate the exact pressure of wind upon a ship. It waa also agreed that it would be desirable to have the record kept at Lloyd's of variations during a voyage. An opinion was further expressed that the Instrument would be most useful in ventilfttlngshaf tsof mines. The s.B. Clansman, for Bussell and Northern ports, and the lona, for Mercury Bay, Tairua and Tauranga, both left last evening with pas« sengers and cargo. Messrs. "Trier and Co., of London, are continuing their struggle against the "freight ring" with a fair amount of success, in carrying cargo to Australian ports, but according to a circular which they have issued to shippers they do not meet with the support which they desire. Messrs. Tyser begin by stating that they have again made up the reserve fund to the original amount of £10,000. They then point out that they have attained the object with which they started the "Merchants' Line" more than a year ago, namely, to relieve shippers of the control which the ring had so long exer« cued over them. With the objeot of obtaining more support, therefore, they Intend during the next 12 months to adopt the polioy of carrying average shipments at nominal rafasj from time to time for their supporters generally, or as an alternative to carry at nominal rates large quantities of particular classes of goods for one house only in each trade, which they will select, having due regard to their supporters. It is also their intention to send out canvassers to the colonies, in order to explain the unjust action of the ring, and to offer to ship the goods of colonial firms by the Merchants , Line. The first step in the new phase of the straggle is the announcement of Messrs. Tyser that they will take freight, from merchants who have hitherto supported them, at 5s per ton to either Melbourne or Sydney. The steamship Tongariro throughout yesterday was busily engaged In landing the Auckland portion of her cargo. Owing to to-day being a publk holiday, the departure of the steamer for Southern ports has been postponed until 2 p.m. on Thursday next.
