Jlor principal <s~ti,:%k Leni; ' h ' 376 ft: brca/th ' COUNTY OF INVEIINESS, FROM LIVERPOOL. { SMART PASSAGE. One of the smartest sailing passages between England aud New Zealand that has been accomplished for some time was compie ted yesterday, when the barque County ot Jnvernes-s, from Liverpool, dropped anchor in tho stream soon after 7 u m the voyage having occupied 99 dav K . This is exceptionally good travelling when we compare il with the last half-dozen sailers that have arrived in the Dominion from foreign ports, notably the French barnuo Maria, 134 days from Liverpool to Lyttelton, and tho Marjory Glen, 157 days from London to Wellington. Tho voyage of tho County of Inverness was uneventful. Departure was taken from Liverpool on March 15, and tho tug was east off at luskar, on the south coast of Ireland, rair weather and favourable winds marked the first portion of the passage, but in the region of tho Kquator she was becalmed for sis days. She orossed tho lino when 3D days out, and rounded the Cape of Good Hope 28 days later. Brisk westerlv winds favoured the vessel from isat stage, and excellent running was nmde'till Cape Lceuwin was sighted. Thence onwards the weather changed, and the was continually ploughing through high seas. Last week, while crossing the Tasmnn Sea, sho encountered tho full for<c of the south-west gale that prevailed, but came through without mishap. Farewell Spit was passed on Tuesday night, and tho barque was oil t.ho Heads on Wednesday evening, tho master deciding to sail In 1 next, morning without tho aid of a pilot. The County of Inverness is an iron barque, owned by the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company. She brings a general cargo for Weiliugton and Dunedin. and will berth this morning to disohargo the local portion. Captain J. A. Evntu is in command, and has with him Mr. J. Wilson, mate, mid Mr. E. J. Prestridge, second mate. Captain Evans is well known in 1 New Zealand, having formerly been mas- I ter of the Taraitaki, and more recently of the ilinemoa and the Gladys, A notice in this week's Gazette states that tiie Greymouth Harbour Hoard have notified that the Morw system of night signalling ha« been installed at tho signal station at Greymouth, on the South Breakwater, and vessels may now com--1 municato with the shore at night-time. 1 The Wootton is expected from the south this morning, and will be dispatched for 1 Wanganui at 3 p.m.

MAMARI'S OUTWARD CARGO. Whon the Shaw, Savill, and Albion Company's cargo steamer Mamari left hero for London yesterday morning, sho had on board cargo, shipped at New Zealand ports, of which tho following is a summary.

When tho Waimato was leaving Lyttelton for Waitara, on Tuesday night, she slowed down at the Ileads, evidently on account of somo break idown, but tho troublo could not havc # been serious, as sho resumed her voyage in fivo or ten minutes. The Waimato is due at \\ elliugton from Waitara on Tuesday nest. On Sunday the New Zealand Shipping Company's Ituahino is due here from Lyttelton, to complete Homeward loading. She leaves here for London on Thursday next. At daylight on Monday morning the Government steamer Hinemoa i 6 to leave on a visit to tho Cook Strait lighthouses.
