CHRISTCHURCH.
Yesterday. 'About 3000 carcases have been loaded on the British King. The freezing com partment will soon be filled. Heavy weather is completely stopping work on other ships in port. The Monarch, barque, bound from Port Chalmers to Falmouth, while crossing the bar at Port Chalmers on Saturday, bumped five times. Finding she was making two or three inches of water, the captain made for Lyttelton, and arrived early this morning. She will go into dock. Dr Yon Haast has received the following telegram : " Albury, April 2.—Have made a successful ascent of Hochste liter's Dome, with lady. It is much higher than Mount Darwin. Had splendid weather ; bivouacked five hours above Green's fifth camp ; twelve hours from there to summit (of Hochstetter's Dome.) There was a cloudless sunset on the top. Descended in the moonlight and reached bivouack at 7 a,m. next morning. Crevasses all the way ; much steep cutting. Mount Cook, on Queen's route this year is impassable ; too little snow and insuperable crevasses. Had ten fine days. One glacier. Did much trigging, photographing and sketching."
