A lifeboat, fitted with the newest appliances and for the. use of the Lyttelton'pilot station, has been brought out by the ship Ballochmoyle.

The steamers Albion, for Melbourne, via the Northern and West Coast ports, and Tararua, for Melbourne, via tbe Bluff, left yesterday afternoon. . The s s. Beautiful Star is loading transhipments from the City of Tanjore, and will sail for Lyttelton and intermediate ports to-morrow afternoon. The barque Eureka, which arrived from New York on Sunday, will be removed from the stream alongside the railway pier, where she will discharge her Dunedin cargo. The N.Z. Go ’s s.s. Phcebe arrived from the North at 10 a.m. to-day, and steamed alongside the head of the Graving Dock to discharge seventy telegraph posts. She left the Manakau on the 3rd at 10 a.m., and called at Taranaki, Nelson, Picton, Wellington, and Lyttelton. To her purser (Mr Barber) we are indebted for report and files. The brig Craigellaohie was hauled out of the Graving Dock this morning. She has been stripped, caulked, and re-coppered, the work having been done by Mr A. MKinnon. As soon as the brig came out the ship William Davie was taken in, not for repairs, but only to see whether she had suffered any damage through having grounded for a few hours when she was being removed alongside the pier. The smallest engine in the world is now in possession of Mr John Penn, of Greenwich. It will stand on a threepenny-piece; it really covers less space, for its base plate measures only three-eighths of an inch by three-tenths So small are some of the parts that they require a powerful magnifying glass to see theiriorm. The whole weight of the model is less than a threepenny-piece, It works admirably, and when working, its crank-shaft performs from 20,000 to 30,000 revolutions per minute. The Southern Cross, which arrived in port on Saturday from the Tyne, is a screw steamer, intended for carrying stock between Auckland and Napier, and her presence here is owing to her having to put in to replenish her stock of fuel t® enable her to complete her voyage to New Zealand. She was built expressly for the trade in which she is to be engaged, to the order of Messrs Watt Brothers, Napier, by J. Eltringham, of South Shields, and there is no doubt but that she will prove a useful vessel. The Southern Cross is 135 ft. in length, with 23ft. Tin. beam, and a depth of hold of 9ft., giving her a register of about 140 tons. She is constructed entirely of iron, and is propelled by small compound engines of 50-horse power. She is rigged as a three-masted schooner, and will/be able to make some use of her canvas as well as steam when occasion offers. In the construction of the steamer, provision has been made for the conveyance of horned-cattle and horses in the ’tween-decks, the main-deck having been reserved for sheep. Although meant more particularly for the carriage of live stock, the steamer will also accommodate a number of cabin and steerage passengers. The cabin—a plain, but very comfortable apartment—is on deck amidships, and is fitted up for the berthing of 25 passengers. The steerage is aft, and at present can only take about 10 passengers. Captain Holmes, who went Home to superintend the construction of the vessel, gives her a good character as a sea boat, and the delay which has taken place on the voyage out he attributes to the rapid fouling of the bottom, although he had it specially coated with preventive composition before making a start for the antipodes. The steamer left Shields on January 21. In view of the heavy weather met with off this coast, and the limite’d amount of fuel on board, Captain Holmes deemed it his best course to call in at Port Phillip on his way to New Zealand. The Southern Cross will remain here for a short while, and may possibly be slipped or docked, and have the bottom of the hull cleaned and painted previous to resuming her vovatre. — Argus, May 24.
