To-day the work will be completed by the replacing of the yards, &c. The barque Koh-i-noor arrived at Port Phillip Heads on Saturday, and anchored for orders, which were that she should go on to Adelaide : but the crew objected to proceed, as the term of their articles had expired, so the barque came up to Hobson's Bay tor a fresh crew, when she will resume her voyage. The Koh-i-noor is from Kaipara, which she left on tho 27th ult., with strong N.W. winds, between which and west they continued to as far as Cape Howe, passed on the 10th inst.—Melbourne Age, July 23. Contain Jarvis, who arrived in Newcastle from Wellington on the 21st instant, reports that one of his seamen fell from the masthead of the vessel on the 12th, breaking his leg close to the ankle and the cap of his knee. Every attention was paid to him during the remainder of the voyage, and on the vessel’s arrival the sufferer was taken to the hospital. —S. M. Herald, July 23.

The steamer Comerang ran foul of the ketch Hope, in Dunedin Harbor. The ketch sunk immediately, but all hands managed to get on board the steamer. In the Eesident Magistrate’s Court, Dunedin, tire case of Eitchie v. Young and others—an action brought by a passenger of the Cartsburn ngdnst the captain and first and third mates of the same, for the recovery of the sum of £IOO for an assault committed on the high seas—resulted in a verdict being given for the plaintiff for £SO and costs. The Magistrate intends to bring the whole of tho facts of the case under the notice of the Minister for Immigration. Smrnso Teleoea.hs.— The following reply from Mr, Vogel, as Commissioner of Telegraphs, to the Chairman of the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce, was read at the last meeting of that body:—"Sir,—l have the honor to acknowledge tho receipt of your letter of the 11th July, respecting shipping telegrams. In reply, I have to inform yon that I did not misunderstand the nature of tbe[application made by tho Chamber, but that I presumed you were aware that that application had been several times dealt with. The object of my letter of June 17 was to communicate to the Canterbury Chamber the course which the Dunedin Chamber of Commerce was prepared to adopt with • respect to shipping telegrams, which is a concession by the department in the direction desired, and going as far as was considered prudent or possible. The difficulty you mention as to local agents in different parts of the country is one which I think could bo easily met through private organisations which already exist. On the other hand, tho Telegraph Department is not in possession of, and ought not to be expected to obtain, tho information with which yonr Chamber desires to ho supplied. Indeed, tho department is liable to be blamed in connection with the complaints now made as to imperfect information, although it has only to transmit what is supplied by the Harbor or the Customs authorities. I have given instructions that the arrivals and departures of English mall steamers shall be carefully and promptly telegraphed in future.’’ The Maoobeoob («). —Tho A. and A. mail steamer Macgregor, which left Sydney on the 4th Instant, for San Francisco, had a very boisterous passage to Kandavau, where she arrived on the 13th. During a violent gale on tho 6th, she carried away her steering gear, and falling into the trough of the sea, she shipped several heavy seas, washing her deck tore and aft killing a large quantity of stock, and doing other sundry damages. While waiting the arrival of tho New Zealand steamer, put everything In proper seagoing order.— tiydney Morning Herald, July 25. The Tea Eace.— The annual races from China to England between the tea clippers, with the first of the new crop, have terminated just as those to Australia are commencing. Of late years tho single steamer which loaded for tho Colonies has invariably distanced the sailing vessels, and it was not until the present season—when it was steam v. steam—that anything like a race occurred. The Legislator was loaded first, and got away on Juno 10, followed by the Amoy on the 21st—the former, though having the advantage of a start, being heavily handicapped with a number of ports of call, while her rival came through direct to Melbourne. The Legislator had a portion of her cargo landed in Sydney at 3 p.rn. yesterday, when tho Amoy was telegraphed as having passed Cape Otway. She will he landing her cargo in Melbourne jnst as the Legislator is resuming her voyage for that port, and her teas will arrive hero simultaneously with those per the latter steamer at Melbourne. Tho opening sales of both cargoes in the two cities will probably take place on the same day; so that, for 1874 at least, honors are divided.-, 'igdmu Morning Herald.

Deep Sea Soundings. —Despatches received by the United States' Navy Department show that their steamer Tuscarora, Commander Belknap, engaged in taking deep sea soundings, left Honolulu bn the 18th of March, and arrived at Yokohama, Japan, on the 27th of April, having made 72 casts, the deepest of which was S2S7 fathoms. She was then to examine the south-east coast of Japan, from there carry a lino of soundings to Touoga, Aleutian Islands, and thence complete the arc of the great circle to the point reached last fall from Puget Sound. —Mitchells lieyistcr, May 29. fl
