The ship Hydaspes, Cai-tain Babot. arrived at Lyttelton on the 9 h instant, with 36 families, 105 single women, and 106 single men. all in good health. A brigade was formed for rifle drill on boar’, and placed under the command of Sergeant Price, late of the 7th Tower Hamlet Volunteers. A capital b his band was also '■rganlstsd. The drums were made on board, as well as the cymbals and uriangig. The band played " God Save the Queen 1 ' on the poop every morning at 8 30, and also played at noon and at 4 p.m. dally. When the Immigration Commissioners went on board the rifle corps were drawn up In line with fixed b tyonets, and presented anus, while the band played "Of*} Save the Queen.” The effect was particularly good, and excited a considerable amount of comment, being something quite unexpected on board an immigrant ship. The bandsmen and rifles wore distinctive caps, made on board, and certainly presented a very good appearance While speaking of uniforms, wo must not forget to mention Dr. Dunkley’s aide-de-camp, a smart little fellow namerd W H. Lewis, who wore a natty uniform of jr.ey with scarlet facings, made on board, and on hw left arm the white badge and scarlet cross of th- hospital corps. Tho little fellow was found very useful to D-. Dunkley, and seemed very proud of »,f 8 distinction. The passage occupied 91 • days, waH generally a fair weather one. The ship >. a said by the local papers to have been in splendid order * After much patience and long-suffering the marltime community of Otago are U>, ], ave justice done them, and long made promise iS fulfilled. Several years ago it was pointed out that an absolute necessity oxl>tod for the erection of a lighthouse on Cape Saunders, and the Provincial Government went so far as to intimate that th'jy would take the matter in hand. But a change *, n the administration of the Marino Department frustrated the Provincial Governments good indentions, and instead of a lighthouse a loosely-coCgtructed stone tower was put up, which mas since served as a landmark in tho dayI-* wi nmc h pleasure we now can state that the General Government are taking active meaanres to light up this important point of the coast. Some littl'j while ago wo intimated that a surveyor had proceeded to the Hoads for the purpose of selecting a suitable spot. This has been done, and the tower will be erected on Handyraonnt Head, a J>oint opposite to Cape Saunders, being divided from tby Boat ffarbor This spot was chosen in preference to Cape Saunders on account of the high elevation of the latter, which won d subject tho light to the frequent risk of deing obscured by fog banks. By the Stella, which arrived yesterday. Mr Mlrftn, with a party of men. came down, ami as soon as the weather moderates they will bo landed In Boat Harbor, and at once proceed to cut a track t*. the beach, and make other propagations for speedily commencing the work. "We could not ascertain yesterday tho height of the tower, which will bo constructed of ironbark and surmounted by a first order ligh .
