LYTTELTON August s.—The Comerang resumed her voyage for Timaru at I p. m. The N.Z.S.S. Co.’s steamer Phcebe sailed for the South last evening, having on board the large number of thirty-two horses, some of which .were carried on deck. Six of the small craft nowin harbor are lying at the. breastwork, where the greater number of them will load with iron pipes for Hokitika. The Kate Brain still lies at the fat side of the harbor waiting for an opportunity to sail. The schooner Dauntless, which arrived on Tuesday, put in through stress of weather. She is bound for Dunedin, with timber. This vessel is another handsome specimen of the crafts turned out at Auckland, which place she hails from. Some of the newly-arrived Immigrants ex Conflict sailed for Wanganui by the Manawatu yesterday afternoon. A few embarked at tho wharf, but the majority of the number going (G 9) were taken from the ship at her anchorage as the steamer went out. The, s.s. Taranaki arrived yesterday at half-past twelve, having left Dunedin at 4 p.m. on the Ist, experienced light N.E. winds with very heavy sea to Lyttelton, where she arrived at 6 p.m. on the 2nd. Left at 5.30 p.m. on the 4th, and reached here as above. She sails North this morning. - The Stormbird sailed from Wanganui for Taranaki yesterday, atSprni., and may be expected hereon Friday at noon. She is advertised to sail for Wanganui on Saturday at noon. The Napier sailed from Foxton yesterday, at one o’clock, and may be looked for early this morning. She returns to Foxton to-morrow. A number of vessels are on the berth at London loading for this port; Messrs. Shaw, Savill & Co. dispatching as under: The Douglas, 1500 tons register, to sail June 18; the Langstone, 800 tons, to sail June 20; and the new ship Wanganui, Captain Bishop, 1000 tons, to sail July 25. The N.Z.S. Co. send the Cartvale, 750 tons, to sail June 20, and the Hlndostan, Captain Peck, 800 tons, to sail July 15. The Queen Bee goes direct to Napier this year. The captain of the barque Syren, from London, which has arrived at Lyttelton, reports that he left the Downs on March 15 last; had fine weather to the Equator. On June 21, a seaman, Luther Jones, fell from the main top-gallant yard arm and struck on the fore brace brunkin with a dreadful crash, and afterwards fell into the sea. The ship was immediately hove-to, and lifebuoys thrown, but, as the weather was bad, and they could see no trace of the man, they did not lower a boat. The Otago Daily Times has been favored with the tenor of advices received from Foo by a gentleman at Port Chalmers. The intelligence is important, and may bo accepted by shipmasters who have to go cargo-seeking as a note of warning that may perchance be of service to them. Tho letter was dated Sth June last, and stated at that time there were ten steamers of an aggregate carrying capacity of 36,000 tons, waiting at Foo Chow for the early teas. The market hod not opened, and was scarcely expected to be for a fortnight. No clipper sailing ship had reached Foo Chow at the time, but many were expected. Freight to New Zealand.—The Otago Daily Times has been requested to publish the following from a Utter, dated London, 12th June, to a "'mercantile firm in Dunedin: —“ We have yours of the 13th April, and perfectly agree with you that tho offensive alliance with tho ship brokers here is a thorough breach of good faith on their part; but if you, the merchants, will quietly sit down and submit to it, why then you have yourselves alone to blame. We are now paying 16s. to Melbourne, whilst you, from a simple want of tact in your combinations, are paying 455. for the identical goods. Now, if you could arrange to give us a home freight and secure an out cargo, we would manage to charter a ship or a series of ships on the round ; if two or three of your first houses would combine, we would bo perfectly prepared to work it for you on commission, giving you the advantage of all the profits, or to take the risk upon ourselves with cargoes guaranteed.” Heavy Gale in Lvttklton.— On Saturday, a heavy easterly swell set in the harbor, and continued until daylight on Sunday, when the barometer fell until it registered 29.80, thereby indicating that a change of weather was most probable. Tho weather continued easterly all Sunday, huge rollers coming Into the harbor, and making those on board tho ships anything but comfortable. Tho ship Peeress' crew were employed all day below with the cargo, and-lator on in securing the bower anchor. Most of the crews on board the vessels were similarly employed, as the rollers tumbling In were something terrific. The vessels lying at tho wharves, owing to the breakwater, scarcely felt tho swell, and rode at anchor well. During Sunday the barometer fell until It indicated 29 SO. Shortly before 8 p.m., tho wind veered round to the S.W„ and a drizzling rain came on. Tho wind and rain increased, and at midnight it was blowing a heavy gale,, the rain at this time falling in torrents. This continued until daylight, when the r abated, although rain still fell In torrents.— Piloth.— From a circular to hand, w efA ye) find that a private association ot pilots has been formed for the purpose of taking foreign vessels on coasting voyages. It is alleged that an - exempt • master who is well acquainted with tho coast can navigate a foreign vessel from one Colonial port to another in a much shorter time, and with greater safety, than tho captain who sails the vessel, but is ignorant of tho peculiarities of the Colonial seaboard. Several captains of large vessels have employed coastingpilots, and speak favorably of the plan.
