The bad weather which has prevailed for the past two days has had an injurious effect upon sbippiug. Yesterday the Lyttelton «nd Wallace ventured to tea, and reached their respective destinations safely. In the ease of the lalter steamer her sailing was compulsory, as she had been chartered to take a number of Marlborough electors to Picton, and it was necessary that they should be there in time Jor the election today. The Lady Barkly was the only vessel of any description which put to sea to-day. There are now 50 apprentices born in this colony in the New Zealand Shipping Company's vessels. Nine colonial born youths who served their apprenticeship in the Company's vessels have rieen to the rank of tbiid mate. The masters of these vessels speak in high terms of native youths, who iuvariably make good sailors. The Directors of the Company are inviting applications from youths born in the colony for service in their vessels. Nelson can boast of seme smart native born boys in the coastiug trade who would turn out to be good sailors if they had two or three years in an ocean-going jessel, and as tfcere is now a chance open for them we direct their attention to it.
