The Sydney correspondent of the “ New Zealand Herald ’’ gives the following information as to tho threatened resignation of the officers and crew of the Pacific Company's steamship Zealandia in Sydney, and the change of the captain. Ho says—“ The details of the cause of the change of the captain of tho Zealandia are not generally known even in Sydney, where, from the influence of tho late captain, they are suppressed. It is not often that in a ship’s company you find men who are able to combat successfully, especially in largo boats, with a popular ciptain or the petty tyranny exercised by a Jack-in-offico for the time being, but in spite of his five years’ services the late captain of the Zsalandia reckoned without his crew. It seems when he joined the vessel some five years ago he introduced a strict naval system of discipline, and to such a length was this carried that tho life of the officers and men became perfectly miserable. Many of the officers came out from home under engagement for a term of years. This term expired recently, when they seized, the opportunity of sanding in their resignations in a body, owing to the very tyrannical and_ ungentlemanly treatment they had been subject to for years past. The wholesale resignation was telegraphed home to tho owners from San Francisco, and caused an inquiry to be held in Sydney, the result of which was that if tho crew, many of whom wore old and valued servants, persisted in their refusal to proceed to sea in the ship under the late captain, he was to be dismissed, and his successor appointed _ Tho conduct of this gentleman when the decision became known was far from dignified, as he wont round among the officers to ask them to let the matter blow over, and it would ha all right in future, to Which they turned a deaf ear. One curious phase of .the affair is that,_ in spite of the inqu ; ry being kept very quiet, it leaked out, and a number of applications wore received from deck bauds, viz., mates, second mates, and others, to fill up vacancies, but none at all from engineers.” There are other steamers besides the one abovenamed the masters of which might profit by a carefnl study of the master of the Zealandia’s experience.
