ARRIVAL OF THE BARQUE LAUDER DALE FROM LONDON.

The barque which was signalled late last Evening turned out to be the Lauderdale froih London, with immigrants. She came round the heads at noon to-day, and received the .visit of the Health and Immigration pincers at one whilst coming up the harbour. There/being ho sickness on board, the vessel came straight up at once and anchored iri the stream close to the spot occupied by the Hindostan yesterday.. Considerable surprise was evinced when the Lauderdales number was displayed this morning; as it was the general impression that she was a ship and not.., a-..barque. An : explan'tion of got about is the fact that the alteration.of rig took.place in London after h'erlast"voyage". Up to that time she was rigged as a ship. The Lauderdale is a fine ' clipper -barque of 850 tons. She is com manded byCaptain True, and is chartered by the New Zealand ..Shipping Company. Sh^islwell adapted for Carrying immigrants having _ good :height between decks, and plenty of ventilation by means of port-holes. The voyage from land to poit has been clone is ninety-six or ninety-one from land to land." We have already published particulars received by telegrams of the collision of the Lauderdale -n ith another vessel iih the Channel. It" will be found referred to in the Captain's report. The immgrants who aTe all healthy and well-looking, come out under the care of Dr. Edmond Archer. The passage has been very fine throughout, and singularly devoid, of incident. No accident of any kind oc curred. One death, that of a child, took place, and two births. One of these happened so lately as this morning, at seven o'clock ; the other took place on the 21st Dec. las*. Then it was Ellen Gonagla, wife of Dennis Gonagla_,was delivered of a boy. This morn ing Eliza Walters, wife of Jesse Walters, pre sented her husband with a fine girl. The single girls appear to be, most of them, very young, and will be in great demand. They are under the matronly care of Miss Martin. Aiter the inspection ot the ship and her stores had taken place and the fullest satisfaction expressed by the officers at the accommodation and cleanliness of the vesael.f 5 The passengers were mustered and examined. On being asked if they had anything to complain of they said no, imme diately. We give our acknowledgments to Captain True for his courtesy to our repre sentative in supplying report of passage &c. lhe report runs as follows :—•'•• '• Friday, October 17th, left the S. W.

rp & S.; MO S B".;1":K, IRONMONGERS and .'' ~ A ,",". :i :* I RON MERCHANT S, AUCKLAND, Invite especial notice to their First . Shipment of the '. '■ SILVER'S PATENT LIGHT COM PANT'S LAMPS, Ex HINDOSTAN, FROM LONDON, This Company having purchased the Patent Plight from the Inventor, A. M. SILEER, Esq., FOR. - £40,000. THR GREATEST DISCOVERY AND MOST COMPLETE SUCCESS EVER KNOWN Has been attained by A. M. Silber, Esq., of London, who has invented (after three years' careful experi ments) a new style of Lamp having the following and many other advantage.*! over any Lamp in existence, viz:— The light showing as near as possible ; perfect combustion ; consuming every portion of the oil ; does not throw off any offensive odour at anytime like ordinary Kerosene Lamps. Consumes the oil most economically, and gives a white, brilliant, and steady light. Perfect safety from EXPLOSION, as the body of the oil, being separated byan air jacket which surrounds the wick case, and connected only by a tube which does not allow the il.imo to communicate with the body of the oil, natu rally keeps the oil cool, and "explosions" are hereby prevented—this fact alone proving an immense advantage and security over all others. They M*e adaptable for all purposes of illumination where gas is now employed, whetherin private houses, public buildings, factories, railway stations, railway carriages, ships' lights, signal stations, type-setting rooms, street lights, &c. AT ONE-FIFTH LESS THAN THE COST OF GAS. T« show the high standing these lamps have gained in the Engli market we are furnished with extracts from the London Times, Miniwj Journal, Lancet, &c, all of which testify to their SUPERIORITY OVER ANYTHING HITHERTO INVENTED. And, as a further proof, wc may state the following companies have substituted these Lamps in prefer ence to those previously in use, viz :—Metropolitan, Great tern, Great Western, South Eastern, London and Brighton, London, Chatham and Dover, and North London Railways; the Inman, Cunard, and Pacific Lines of Steamers; also, the Light-house Lamp or the Liverpool and Mersey Dock Company, as well as Signal Lamps for various railways, and have largely supplied Street and Wall Lamps for the East and West Indies. In a recont letter received by the Patentee from W. Valentin, Esq., F.C.S.. Principal Demonstrator of Practica Chemistry, in the Royal College of London, he remarks, "That the SILBER LIGHT produced by the burners constructed on these new principles is whiter and steadier than any light I am acquainted with, and the increase in the illuminating power, as compared with that from ordinary burners hitherto in uso, is fully equal to from 40 to 50 per cent, without any increased con sumption of oil. My experiments, which will be found in detail In the " Journal of the Society of Arts of December 23, 1872, show that a light can be pro duced from mineral oils from FORTY to FIFTY PER CENT cheaper than the same light from coal gas, costing THREE SHILLINGS and NINEPENCE per 1,000 cubic feet." t Tho testimonials received by Mr Silber are very numerous, and al express surprise and admiration at the immense suceoss he has obtained, and any one desirous of perusing the same we shall be most happy to furnish with those in our possession. The First Shipment of these Celebrated Lamps arrived in the Hindostan, consisting of TABLE, HALL, STREET, AND WALL LAMPS ; Also. COOKING APPARATUS, Fitted with SILBER PATENT BURNER, TO THE ORDER OF T. ' & S. MORE IN, who have been appointed SOLE AGENTS FOR NEW ZEALAND. From careful examination of the reports to hand, and from the high credentials furnished by our Agent at home, the importers have every confidence in saying they are by far the SAFEST AND MOST ECONOMICAL LAMP EVER INTRODUCED into this market, and invite an early Inspection of the same.
