A meinhcr of Hie i-rew of the Union Company's steamer Wnirmu, now .-it lYvtlelton, in n. Idler written from Sydney (says the "Pro!-s"i, gives an aocnunt- of some trouble aboard the vessel. Owing In the money not. being paid on the lirrt of the month at, Newcastle, the crow apparently refuted to do duty, thourii limy denied this when challenged, but let the officers know they would work when they received their pay. The Union secretary intorpretime thn articles to mean that the crew could claim their discharge from Newcastle, five sailors pave notice and went, ashore. Some new hands wero signed on, but wero subscnuently induced to return ashore. The captain, says the writer, cast off from the whirr, and when clear of the breakwater, rang on" the tug. and ordered full speed abend. The members of the crew who had remained, on discovering that the vessel ins bound for Lyttelton and was short of five able seamen, a second cook, and flvn steward?, made iv strenuous protest. The firemen followed suit, and the captain had perforce to return to Newcastle. Kieht men were subsotmntly shi-ond at £10 for the run to New Zealand, and their passages back, the old crew being paid off. The new men left the Wairuna, on arrival at Lvttsltnn, nnd returned to Sydney on Thursday. The Wairuna's articles bavin?? expired some time ago, new articles were signed on Thursday, and a. fresh crew engaged.
