An unexpected visitor to our port turned up yesterday afternoon in the shape of the fine iron brig Rio Loge, owned by Mr C. W. Turner, of Christchurch, New Zealand. About half-past two o’clock a sail off Bull Bay was telegraphed from Mount Nelson,'.but the strong sea breeze carried the brig along so quickly that her next position, as seen through a h£avy mist, was off Sandy Point at 4 p.m. The vessel came to an anchor off' the Old Wharf a quarter of an hour later. The Rio Loge is commanded by Captain E. T. Miles, who was so long and favourably known as the skipper of the Free Trader, barque. He reports having left Lyttelton on the 25th ult. with a light south-easterly wind, and carried light easterly winds to Cape Farewell, which was passed at midnight on the 28th ult. Experienced variable winds and line weather across. Made Cape Pillar at 3 a.m. on the 6th instant, after rounding which, until arrival, had light variable winds, accompanied by a dense fog. The Bio Loge is a fine powerful brig, of good lines, and was built by Messrs Miller and Sons, of Liverpool, in 1870, for a Portuguese firm, and was intended for the palm oil trade on the West Coast of Africa. She was purchased by her present proprietor, Mr Turner, in 1874, and has been engaged in the China trade. Captain Miles took command of her about twelve months since, and has lately returned from a>oyage to Puget Sound. The brig will load with a cargo of timber for a New Zealand port.—Hobart Town “ Mercury,” Feb. Bth. ARRIVAL OF THE INVERERNE. This fine little ship was signalled yesterday afternoon, and at 3.30 p.m. the s.s. Mullough, with the health officers, agents, &c, on board, went off’ to the ship. The Invererne left this port on June 14th last year, and had a good passage home. Captain Foreman Is still In command, and. looks as well as ever, and all were glad to welcome him back. Captain Foreman reports that he left Gravesend on the 22nd of November, and thence had fair weather down Channel, the pilot leaving the ship off Portland on the 24th. Had rough southerly weather in the Bay of Biscay, and met the N.E. trades in 20deg North on December 13th; these trades were light. The Equator was crossed on December 22nd. Met the S.E. trades on the 20th, in 4deg North; they lasted till January Ist, in 24deg South; thence to Cepe bad variable weather, moderate, and fine. The C»pe wad passed oa January 19th, ana on the

27th of the same month the Crozets were sighted. The Easting was run down in from 47deg to 50deg South. Sighted two icebergs in 48deg South. Were in the longitude of Tasmania on the 14th February, and had strong Northerly winds to the Snares, which were passed on Friday last, the 18th ; from thence had light Southerly winds to arrival. It was a fine weather passage throughout, and the passengers (19 in number) seem pleased with their voyage. The ship brings a full cargo, and is consigned to the New Zealand Shipping Company. There are five long-woolled sheep on board. Owing to there being powder on board, the ship brought up off the Sticking Point. The passage was thus accomplished in 92 days, or 90 days from the time the pilot left.
