The accident to the Huia in Tory Channel on Satnrday has directed attention anew to the urgent need of leading lights for that somewhat dangerous entrance. The necessary lights have been ordered from home by the Marino Department, and ■will bo erected at the earliest date possible. The lights will be placed so as to indicate clwvrly and tmmistakoably the mid-cbannol passage. This will tend materially to lesson, if not entirely to remove, the perils at present attending the entrance or Tory Channel after dark, when most of the coasting steamers are timed to arrive there, and should render it as safe as most of our New Zealand harbors, and also a convenient refuge in stormy weather.— Calcutta advices under date September 9th, report as loading there—The Brace, 1145 tons, for Port Lyttelton, passed for her 1500 halos sacks, &c.
