A Barque Disabled.

At half-past eleven to-day the signal for a barqne ius-irie Tiri was hoisted at the NY.rfck Shore. Shortly afterwards the Hags BG- W. appeared at the mast-head. This is the commercial code signal for " disabled," and some excitement was caused on the wharf and in Queen-street in consequence. The vessel's name was not telegraphed, so conjecture was pretty busy as to what she would bp^- The general opinion was divided between ton 6 Thames, which left Adelaide on the 2' lbo '^yi., and the Ferndale, which is now 97 crjTi^s-it from London. It was of course possible" that it might be a foreign bound vessel compelled to put in. The above signals were soon afterwards supplemented by the letters J.TC.S. and J.L.C. being sent up, which indicate respectively bowsprit acd foretopmast, it obviously being implied that the ship had lost these useful portions of her rig.

THE LUNA'S CRUISE.

TATIEANGA

. , This day. Arrived : Luna, last night, after placin" five buoys in the harbor and landing a Government momrmontin memory of deceased friendly Maketu natives. She left at eleven at night for East Cape, Poverty Bay, Napier and Wellington.

FURTHER PARTICULARS.

At about two o'clock the steamer Effort arrived from the Hot Springs. Captain Smith reports passing the barque at anchor about five miles outside of Eangitoto reef. The barque is the Ansdell, from Newcastle, with a full cargo of coals, &c, for Mr. W. Kirby. Captain Smith is of opinion that the vessel has mot with the accident only recently. She has lost her foretopmast bow sprit, main topgallant yard head, gear, &c. When the Effort passed there was no jrilot on board. On the arrival of the Effort Mr. Kirby immediately made arrangements with that vessel to return and tow the barque into port. The Effort left at about three o'clock having on board our shipping reporter, who, on reaching the vessel, will despatch some of our carrier pigeons stating how the accident occurred. It is supposed that the barque has either encountered a severe gale, or come in collision with some vessel on the coast.

The Ansdell left Newcastle on 28th July, and brings the following cargo :—430 tons coal, 30 tons coke, 2,000 felloes, 40 pairs naves, 40 pairs shafts, consigned to Mr W. Kirby.

(PER PIGEON.)

The barque met with a terriffic gale on the Ist inst. She left Newcastle on tho 2Sth ultimo The vessel is now coming up the harbour.

INQUEST.

An inquest was held this afternoon on the body of William Tracey, before Dr Philaon and a jury, at the Greyhound Hotel, Mr Richard Beck foreman.

John Stevenson Currie, coach-builder, of Elliot-streeb, deposed that he had been with the deceased (whom he had known eight years) to Onehunga, and on returning, when within one hundred yards from the Karangahape Road deceased suddenly fell, over the side of the cart, but he did not think the wheel went over him. He made a catch but could not prevent the fall. His health was generally good. Richard Ellis, also in the employ of Messrs. Whitson and Son, deposed to taking deceased to the hospital; he was insensible when lifted into the cart, but breathed faintly. He met Drs. Dawson and Stockwell by the way, who considered that he could not live. On pas sing Rose's hotel, Kyber Pass, deceased gave three heavy sighs and expired. He took the body to the Hospital. Deceased was a sober man, and had been in the employ of Messrs Whitson for three or four years. Dr Stockwell gave evidence, having made a post-mortem examination, when the jury returned a ve-dict in accordance with the medical testimony.
