BY TELE6BAPB. PORT CHALMERS, Tuesday. Abjmved : Wellington, s.s., from Christchurch. Sailed: Omeo, s.b., for Lyttelton, Wellington, Nelson, and Newcastle. The Time Ball may he used to-day for rating chronometers. . A chronometer true on Greenwich time would show 12h. 30m. when the ball drops. Any difference Is error, plus or minus, of the chronometer. The steam collier Easby, Captain A. Kennedy, from ..Newcastle and Sydney, piay .be expected to arrive hourly. The barques Esk and Chaudlere dropped down to the fainvay yesterday. Both vessels will .sail, the former for Valparaiso and the latter for Newcastle, on the first change of wind. ? The schooner Hannah Barratt, with railway iron, sailed for Foxtou yesterday morning. The brigantine Enterprise sailed early yesterday morning, in ballast, for Havelock. The steamers Napier and Egmont were bar-bound in the Manawatu River till yesterday afternoon, when both vessels got away for Wellington. The steamer Manawatu, Captain Evans, sailed for Wanganui last evening with a large general cargo and a number of passengers. The steamer. Rangatira, Captain Griffiths, sailed shortly after five o'clock yesterday afternoon for Napier and Poverty Bay. . ' The steamer Southern Cross was to have left Auckland yesterday for Poverty Bay, Napier, and Wellington. She will be due here on Saturday next. The steamer Omeo. Captain Calder, will leave Lytr telton for Wellington this day, arriving here tomorrow. She will discharge her Wellington cargo, and sail for Nelson and Newcastle the same evening.. The steamer Taranaki left Lyttelton for Wellington at six last evening, and will therefore arrive this morning. She sails North to-morrow A greater amonnt of wool than was expected has come to hand for shipment to London by the ship Carnatic, and it is probable her cargo will be supplemented by 600 tons wheat, which will be forwarded from Lyttelton. She will doubtless get away by her advertised date. The schooner Herald, Hamilton, master, arrived yesterday morning from Lyttelton with a cargo of grain for Mr. George Thomas. She cleared Godley Head on Thursday evening last with a light breeze from the N.E., which continued till the vessel had arrived- off Waipapa, where it freshened to a strong gale, against which the schooner beat till Wellington Heads were reached, when a light breeze from the southward brought her to an anchor. The American whaler Eliza Adams, Captain Cabel Hamblin, called at The Bluff on Tuesday morning for the purpose of landing the second officer, wbo U attacked with bilious colic, after which she intends prosecuting her voyage. -Captain Hamblin reports seeing the barque Chance on the whaling ground towing a sperm whale towards the shore .for the purpose of trying it out. The Eliza Adams is thirty-four months out from New Bedford, and her takings up to date amount to the respectable figure of 175 tuns of aperm and 10 tuns black oil. On Sunday last she made fast to a large whale, when it came on to blow from the north-west, and veering round to the northward, blew a gale. ,On Monday the cable, which was fast to the whale when towing, parted with fifteen fathoms of inch and a-half chain, which shows that the strain on a cable when towing a whale in a seaway must be something tremendous. A sad accident to one of the crew, attended with fatal results, happened on the 2nd inst. It appears that whales were*sighted on the morning of that day, and the boats were lowered in chase, the captain being in charge of one boat, which arrived, first alongside the whales; made fast to one, which dipped and came up immediately and attacked the boat, biting a piece clean out of. the bottom. The other boats came to the assistance of the crew, and then gave chase to the whales, and succeeded in making fast’to another one before dark. In the meantime the ship came up to the disabled boat to take it on board. The man above referred to got over the side of the vessel to make a line fast to the boat, when the ship began to tow the boat under water. Those on board got frightened, and cut the rope fastened to the boaMOmd the vessel drifted some distance away, leaving the man clinging to the boat. She was, however, soon rounded to, and made for the boat again. The men on board told the man in the boat to swim towards the vessel, and threw ropes over, but before ho succeeded in getting hold of one ho was seized with cramp and drowned. The man shipped in Hobarton under the name of Charles Reeves, but the captain thinks this is an'assumed name, and believes he has friends in Christchurch, It Is the intention of the ship to call In at The Bluff again about the Ist of April, to take the second officer on board again if he has recovered. —Southland Times, March 17. Steamers for Salk. The well known intercolonial trading steamers City of Hobart and Southern Cross, trading generally between the ports of Hobarton, Melbourne, and Sydney, were offered for sale at auction lately in Sydney. The principal ' shipping men of tho city attended the sale, and the bidding, which began low, was spirited for a time. In tho end, however, tho biddings did not come up to the value set upon tho steamers by the owners and the two were ultimately bought in, the City of Hobart »t £II,OOO, and the Southern Cross at £17,000. Singapore Route to Australia. —A fourth steamer built for this line, by which tho English mails are conveyed between England and Queensland, sailed from the Clyde on 13th December. The Singapore is a screw steamer of 1700 tons burden, bxiilt by Messrs, A. and I. Inglls, and on her late trial trip steamed thirteen knots. She is fitted with accommodation for seventy first-class passengers, and is commanded by Captain J. A. Dumbreck, formerly of the Anchor Line.
