The convenience to the public of such an arrangement will be generally allowed, and that the enterprise thus displayed will prove remunerative there can be no dount. Two finer or belter fitted up boats for their tonnage than those above named are not to be found in the New Zealand waters, and their regular running will no doubt give rise to an extensive passenger traffic. The Murray will be the first to take up the running, leaving Nelson for the North on Friday next. The steamer Kennedy, Captain. T. Whttwell, arrived alongside the Albion wharf this morning at eight o'clock.
