The barque Hopeful is taking in ballast, and frill finish discharging her sugars for Dunedin on Monday. The ship Warwick, for London, was to have Bailed to-day, but her departure has been unavoidably postponed. The barque Rose M. was unmoored this morning, and towed to sea. She proceeds to Oamaru to load for Auckland. The ship Carnatic has nearly completely her loading for London, and was towed off from the railway pier into the stream this morning, Where she will receive the remainder. Messrs Henderson and Co.’s fine composite ship William Davie, under the command of Captain James Rankin, from London, via the Bluff, arrived at the Heads at 11.30 this morning. She left Gravesend with 294 passengers for the Bluff, on the 14th January, and, after landing nearly all her immigrants, left for Port Chalmers at daylight on the 20th. Files of London newspapers received by the last mail contain notice of the launch, at New-eastle-on-Tyne, of the Faraday, s.s., 5,000 tons, London built, to the order of Messrs Siemens, London, for the purpose of laying their deep sea cables. In her there are two distinct sets of engines, each working a separate screw, the vessel being thus provided with two propellers, usually called twin screws. The machinery required for paying out and picking up cables was manufactured by the Vulcan Foundry Company, which has had great experience at this work. Accommodation is provided on board for ft staff of officers, electricians, and crew, amounting to about 150 persons. Me«srs Siemens, were tenderers te construct the telegraph line connecting New Zealand with Great Britain, and very probably their new ship will be charged with the risk of laying the cable between India. aa& Queensland. .•W instance of the tyranny sometimes exerMsifl by men when on strike towards those who «• aot join in with them, was given in the Melbourne City Police Court lately. A man of respectable appearance, named John Williams, Wftß charged with deserting from the s.s. You Yangs, where he had been engaged as fireman. The prisoner admitted having left the vessel on the 18th March, but pleaded that he was induced to go away in consequence of the threats of personal violence held out to him by the union men. He liked the ship, and wished to remain with her; but the union men, by threatening to break his arms and legs, induced him to desert. They gave him L2 to pay his passage up to Sydney after he left the ship. The chief officer stated that he saw a number of ' men on the wharf attempting to induce the prisoner to desert, and he then told him that if any injury was done to him by the union men, the law would give him ample satisfaction; but, as the prisoner very naturally remarked, What benefit would it be to him, after he had been seriously injured, to have some persons imprisoned. The Bench sentenced the prisoner to one month’s imprisonment, and directed that the matter should be reported to the shipping master.
