Leaving Sydney Heads on Wednesday, 13tli inst., at 3.i5 sun., with the barque Klizabevh Oraln-m in luw, the Melbourne Mleamsliip Company'.* tuj; Rater, by arriving in llobsouV liav at 9.12 a.m. on Jimo 1 fj, ],1If.1f. up a towag-n record 1.<.-h?£<'ii tlio rii.nlM that bus never been hitherto even approached. Tim barque is to l;o converted into a coal lighter after a jareer of 40 years at ;ea, during which period, it is claimed, slw never cost her owners a forthfhj! through aecidi'iil, and rciMiiied intOi'Csl; oiie-hnmhwliokl in htr resnihir voyages !ltIween Now Zealand ports and Australia. Speaking of tho L-atqii«'s oxiwriomn down coast, her master Gtutcd that splendid weather had provaili'd throughout. "Though wo have 850 tons of coal on board," he added, "we never likd to use tli-f pumps once, ft was (piitn a pleasure trin for us, 10 all (old, Sincn leaving SydiK.v our average ha» been aboi:t <'iglifc knots, and tho tug that can exceed that must be a. marvel." Tho Elizabeth Graham was anchored off Port Melbourne. Tho Shaw-Savill liner Alhenie is expected to leavo L.vttdlon to-day for Timaru. llcr arrival at the latter port is being awaited, with unusual interest, inasmuch as t,hi> Atlicnio is Iho largest ve-v.el that, lias ever berthed within the Timaru breakwater. Less than half a lifetime back shipping communication with Timaru wa6 maintained by surf boats plying between the shore and vessels anchored in tho own roadstead. At tho p'ressnt time 12,000-ton liners can find berthafio within an artificial harbour, which luw proved of incalculable vuluo lo tho town and surrounding district, and the people of Timaru have every reason to feel gratified on tho occasion of a v.isit to their harbour, of a vfssel of such dimensions as Iho Athcnic. From Timan: cho goes to Uislxjrne, Lytlelton, and Wellington io load cargo, and sails finally from the latter port on July 19. Tho light recently erected on Tasman Island bv tho Holwrt Marine Board is giving much satisfaction, and tho masters of ships trading to tho port are continually speaking in lirai-c of it. Car-tain MaxwellBrown, of ilio steamer Everton Grange, which arrived at Ilobart on Juno 20 from Sydney, informed a representative of tho Mercury that lie picked tin I lie light, at a distanco of 43 miles. It was, he added, badly wanted in that locality, and was a [ great boon. This is tho greatest distance at. which tlio Tasman Island licflit has been seen. It is only supposed to be picked nn 3ft miles off in a mean state of the atmosphere. Tito Monowai arrived early yesterday morning, ami was berthed at the cross wlifttf about. 8 o'clock.
