She returns from J,yltclton to Dunedin, and thence to Blulf. and proceeds from that port to Sydney with a cargo of produce. The Farewell Spit is (savs i,he Poet) an important. (signalling station, and all information relating to inoveiiioni.s of vessels passing there is much sought, after hy these interested in shipping. Captain Sehulte, of tho barquentino Marv Isabel, complains that on cach occasion lie lias p:iss<d the apit ho has signalled, hut. has not lieen reported lo Wellington, lie slater that no doubt could exist, as to whether his signals wore observed, because on a previous trip an answering signal wf.s received. "ho Marino Di'pa.rtnienl Ims now under consideration the evidence adduced. at the preliminary inquiry held at \Yanganui popcorning the grounding of tt'.e costal steamer Moa at tho north spit near (lie Wanganui bar recently. The Moa is now at Wellington undergoing vepuirs. having been lowed m. ' .' ,ve(> k hy the Stormbird. Iho timber-laden hnrciucntiiie Silver Cloud, which arrived at Sydney on the 19th mst. from (Jrevmouth, N'ew Zealand, encountered n. violent, hurricane when in tho vicinity of Lovtl liov.e Island, and was hove to for 24 hours. Bcvond the l 0 «s of a few sails, however the Silver Cloud emeiiged from tho tempest without damage, \ ariotts defects in steamships gave officers of tho Inspection of Machinery Department so lrl{ . wol .j c (j ur ; njr t |, c j2 months which closed 011 March 31 (savs the Wellington Post). During the year 300 steamships worn surveyed, 12 intercolonial sailing vessels, and oifrlit.

Tho Wimmera arrived at Dnncdin yesterday morning from Sydney, via Auckland flJlll Itfisi Coast ports. She left Sydney on Julv 24, and on tho following dav" encountered a strong S.W. wind, with heavy Ueam seas, which caused the vessel to roll heavily, .Several big ecaa broke on hoard, doing some damage to several deck cabins, and one of the companion ladders on the upper deck was carried away. These conditions continued for a couple of daw, a.nd t'lifin moderated, flic remainder of the voyage being made under i)loasan-l weather conditions. When nearing Auckland one of tho steerage Dassenirors. Mr P.. Ta!lcnt« of Auckland, who had been ill on heard! gradually grew worse, and died before leaching Auckland. On leaving Auckland calls wore made at tho usual East Coast ports, moderate to fine weather and variable winds 7 being met with coming down tile coast. Tho Wimmera sails from Port Chalmers to-morrow a-flernoon for ftvdney, via Auckland. ARRIVAL OF THE WAIMATK. Shortly iftor midnight oil Friday the New Zealand Shipping Company's steamer Waimate arrived off Tiiiaroa Heads, and steamed up to Port Chalmers early on i-aturday, after a trip, of 59 days from port to port. All being well on board, tho vessel was promptly admitted to pratique and ™ c, l in by tho Health and Customs Officers, and berthed at George street pier, where sho immediately commenced to discharge cargo. Tho Waimate left London on June 3, and experienced fine weather to arrival at Teherifie on Juno 11, where £ I n ' no hours to replenish her bunkers, and continued her voyage the t>amo oyening, light trades and fine weather continuing until after parsing the. Gape on July 2. Four days later she encountered a gale from the south-east, which blow at hurricane force, and was accompanied by mountainous seas, which caused thoshiptobe practically hove to for 48 hours, during which time the decks were awash foin and aft and cubing were flooded. A succession of south-west and westerly gales were then experienced, and heavy seas were frequently shipped. These conditions materially hampered tho vessel's progress witil July 22, when matters became worse. Heavy seas broke on heard continually and culminated with a huge wave which swopt the decks fore and aft, smashing in the door of ilic stewards' quarters and washing the oacupants out of their bunks, beside doing minor damage, hut: fortunatelv no one was hurt, and the fact that onlv impeded progress resulted from her ne/.-cre buffeting proves the Waimate to be a very statrnoh and faithfully-built vessel, inasmuch as this is the first occasion ou whioh she has boon loaded down to her new lor.dline, which has been raised fully a frot emoa the now Board of Trade r'e-niiatiou came into force. Her exira submergence combined with adverse weather condition* fnlt J'l V^T 1 -ill', previous data, awl the {act that the W.-umute was nearly a vcek later than usual in arriving 'naturally caused some unciisinc™ here, which wa'-i happily dispelled by her safe arrival as above.
