POUT CHAI.jIF.r.3. September IT.—The ship Ua-Ulon Hall, from Loncion, is at the Heads. .

The Eangativa sails for Poverty Bay to-mgliv, and for ■Wellington probably on Saturday night. The p s. Manawatu, Cant, Griffiths, left Wanganui at midnight on the loth, and arrived at Wellington at 3 p.ni. on the 17th. Experienced thick weather, with liL'ht winds, during the passage. At 10 a.nn on the 17th, spoke the ketch Forest Queen, off Kapiti. The ship Ifalcione is announced to sail from this port, for Loudon, about the first week in November. The St. Leonards is to be despatched for San Francisco about the 25th inst. . Breach of Harbor Reculatiofs.— At the Lcsident Magistrate’s Court, yesterday morning. Thomas XCltchlngham, master of the tug despatch, was chawed, on the information of Captain AUardyce, v/itlUa breach of the Harbor Regulations, in towing the‘Eliza Firth and berthing her alongside the wharf, knowing at the same time that that vessel had powuer on board. The fact of the vessel having powder on board was not disputed, but it was argued for tho defence that the defendant acted under the orders of Cantain AUardyce; that he was not told to leave his tow at the lower an cno rage, but the Harbor MoAcj. berthed the vessel himself. The action was more particularly defended on technical grounds—first, because in the information it was stated that tho offence was committed between Sunday, the SOth, and “VTondav the 01st August; second, because no proof had been adduced that Gveymouth was a port; thirL because, if any party was Habxc, it was the master of the schooner, and not the master of the tug, who, it was contended, was only izi the service of theschooner for the time being. The Magistrate over-ruled the two first objections, but nonsuited plaintiff on the third, without costs.— Grey River Ary its, September 5. A new cutter, named the Dauntless, of 17 tons, has . been added to the little fleet of Nelson. How Lives * are Lost at Sea. —Reviewing the maritime disasters of 1873, the SJuppkiy Gazette says; “The year 1873 willbe remembered as a most disastrous one in the sacrifice of life through the loss of steamships. These losses were not attributable to vessels being overladen or unseaworthy, but are to be ascribed to errors in judgment, want of care, or reckless navigation.” Deck Trouper's as Life-buoys.— •'We understand that a new suggestion has been mafic by Captain J. W-. Webb, 8.N., showing how seamen’s ordinary duck trousers may easily be converted into life-buoys in . cases of emergency. The manner in which Captain Webb’s suggestion is to be carried out would appear to be .as follows-First securely fasten the bottoms of of the trousers, each leg separately, with a piece of twine or ropeyarn ; then wet them either in «a bucket of water or over the side of tire vessel, and wave them sharply round so as to inflate the legs, and when inflated, quickly grasp tho top and secure it wifli another piece of twine or ropeyarn. The inflated trousers v/11 1 then form a Ilfc-buoy, which Captain Webb has found by experiment to be capable of keeping a man afloat for a considerable time.— Xau~ iical M"v-uhtc. - Arrival of the Loch X7rr.— The fine Clydebuilt barque Loch Urr, Captain Murdoch, from • London, arrived yesterday morning, and has made a good passage of ninety-five days. Her commander states that lie left Gravesend ou the 7th of June, and had moderate trades and fair weather until the Cape of Good Hope was rounded on the 2nd of August. The ' easting was made on the parallel of 45 S. She had strong NAY. to SAY. winds, with very squally weather until off the Crozet Islands, where, owing to a succession o: light breezes from tho eastward, little headway was made for an entire week. Passed south of Tasmania on the Is'; instant, and had fresh NAY. winds to the Three Kings, which were rounded on the 7tli instant. Owing to the foggy weather off the North Cape, the vessel was hove-to for several hours. Tho Poor Knights were sighted last ‘Wednesday, a heavy gale from SAV. blowing at the time. Passed the island of Tiri Tiri on Thursday, and arrived as above. The ship Sir John Lawrence, from London for Sydney, and Edith' Watnc, from Liverpool to Calcutta, were spoken on ,the passage. On the 20th ultimo an accident occurred, by which a seaman, named Henry Carlson, lost his life. It appears that the deceased whilst employed in tho main rigging lost his hold, and falling on deck alighted on his head, receiving such severe injuries that ho expired a few hours afterwards. The Loch Urr is a fine roomy vessel of 710 tons register, built in 1871 by Messrs. Paterson, McCallum and Co. of Port Glasgow, and is owned by Messrs. J. and D. Sprout of Liverpool, the proprietors of the “Loch” line of clipper ships. This is her fourth trip to the Colonies, her previous voyages having been to .Sydney. She has a good beam and a # ' large spread of canvas, and comes into port beautifully clean Her saloon, although small, is complete in all its fittings, and very tastefully decorated. The live stock sent out by her consist of four valuable rams and six owes, two of the former being forMr.-T. Russell. She is under charter to the New Zealand Shipping Company and* comes consigned to their agents hero. — Auckland Southern Crow, September 12.
