The Taiaroa, after slapping a large quantity of cargo for the Northern ports, sailed at 8 o’clock last evening.

Notice has been posted in the Custom House to the effect that hn a educated in the Naval Training School, Kohimarama, Auckland, arc now available for the sea service. Masters and owners of vessels registered at or trading with New Zealand are invited to take these boys as apprentices, as by so doing they will aecire the services of lads trained for the sea, and at the same time render material assistance in giving effect to the main object for w.ilcli the institution has been established, viz., that of obtaining a supply of well trained seamen for the rapidly increasing mercantile marine of the colony. The Merope and the Schiehailion, wool ships, were first reported in the Merchant Shipping and Underwriters’ telegram, published in the Melbourne Argns under date Feb. 27. A later telegram, dated London, March 2, notes the Schiehallion’s arrival, and also that of the Waitangi, so it would appear that the earliest wool ships finished their voyages, as they had begun them, together. The tonnage loading on the berth at London (Jan. 24) for India, China, and the Capo of Good Hope, amounted ty 57.910 tons ; and for Australia and New Zealand, to 45.371 tons. There Is still (January 26) some inquiry for tonnage to the East and the colonies. Coal freights remain firm, with no marked change in the rates. In homeward transactions there is very little doing. Trade in general Is much depressed, owing chiefly to the uncertainty as to the resul'. of the negotiations non going on between Itnsda and Turkey.. Tills causes much uneasiness, and no revival of business can be looked for until a final settlement of that question has been agreed upon. The number of wrecks reported for the present year, to date of January 10, amounted to 87. Messrs. Brain and Bishop, the well-known shipbuilders of Mechanics’ Bay, Auckland, launched from their establishment, on the 7th Inst., a handsome ■fore-aml-aft schooner of 5» tons register. She has been some time on the stocks, so that her timbers are well seasoned, and in every respect, says the Auckland Herald, she is as neat a little craft as could be .turned out of any establishment in this city. Her model is very good, fine lines, and has every appearance of making her mark as a fast sailer; and while particular attention has been paid’to the sailing qualities, her carrying capacity, which is compatible with the size, should moke the boat a profitable one. The dimensions are Length of keel, 58 feet; beam, 17 \ feet; depth of hold, 7i feet. At present she draws about 2 feet of water, and is expected to draw not more than O feet when fully loaded. The timber used In the construction of the vessel Is the usual pohutakawa for knees and ribs, covered with heart of kauri planking, copper-fastened throughout, and has been built to taka the highest class at Lloyd’s. As the schooner Is called the Griffin, the usual elaborate work at the figure-head is appropriate to the name, Mr. Brain having neatly caryed a griffin's bead, with a couple of smaller ones at tbo steril. a very creditable piece of ■work, and in harmony with the whole of the vessel. The Griffin will be ready for sea In about a week, when she will ihake a run’down the harbor, arid we have little doubt will realise the expectations of her builders.
