The Murray arrived at Waitara this uiornin,c after a stormy passage. The Nel?on should put in an appearance here from Oaniaru to-morrow. The Uno arrived at Wellington from Kelson, to-d^y.

The Arawatn. with the Suez mail, will be due at the Bluff from Melbourne to-morrow evening. The Hawea sailed for Taranaki andMami3cau last evening with the outward San Francisco mail. The Tnsso and Woodbine are more than Tialf discharged. They will sail again for Newcastle about the middle of nexfweek. The topsail schooner Pelican sailed this afternoon for Ilavelock, where she will load with timber for some Southern port. . There arc- as yet no tidings of the Maori on the coast, so that it is impossible to say ■when she will arrive here. The Arthur Wakefield arrived this morning from Oamaruwitli a cargo of breadstuffs. She has made rather a long passage, which ■was mainly caused by bad weather. The Tararua leaves Wellington this afternoon, will arrive here to-morrow morning, and sail on Monday at 1 1 am. for Melbourne via West Coast ports. The Alhambra, after a long stay on the West Coast, left Greymouth at 2.30 this morning. With bard driving she will catch this evening's tide. She sails to-morrow at 10 a.m. for Wellington, South, and Melbourne. The Wellington soiled for Ficton and Wellington this tnorcing, and was to call at Durville's Island en route to land two or three passengers. She leaves Wellington on the return trip on Monday afternoon, and will arrive here on Tuesday morning, leaving by the same tide at 1 p.m. for Picton and Wellington. The present scarcity of seamen in all the New Zealand ports will sooner or later cause the question to arise how this difficulty is to be met. In no other part, of the world are sailors better paid and better fed than in New Zealand. It is only natural then thatthose who " go down to the sea in ships " prefer to remain in the coastal trade of this colony to roughing it out in a lime juicer, where they are poorly paid, and perhaps worse fed. The only remedy for this growing difficulty appears to be the establishment of training ships in the shipping port 3 of the colony. At present there is only one training vessel, and that a little schooner stationed at Auckland, from which at various times boys have been drafted into coasting steamers and vessels, and have generally turned out to be good sailors. There is no port in the colony better adapted for a training ship than Nelson Inside the Boulder Bank boys could be taught the elementary work, and as they became further advanced a trip within the precincts of Blind Bay might be taken, which after a while could be extended further out to sea. These vessels could be made the receptacles for the numerous waifs that are sent to Industrial Schools every year.
