PORT REGULATIONS.
: TO THE EDITOR OP THE NEW. ZEALAND TIMES. Sir,—Would you kindly allow mo to state a most aunoying grievance through the medium of your influential columns ; and in doing so, would you kindly allow mo to start by asking a few questions ? Is it lawful for the Customs’ authorities to give a clearance for the same day to a vessel which has not been uuloaded at the Queeu’a wharf before the hour of 1 p.m. on Saturday? And apart from this I would ask, iu the second place, how it is that when owners and agents of steamers are walking with sanctimonious faces to their places of worship, the captains of their steamers are blowing their hideous whistles, which are heard all over the town ? Can this Sunday sailing not be done away with? Instead of raising collections for the illiterate and heathen communities, would it uot be as well for some of our reverend friends, instead of paying so. much attention to the granting of hotel licenses, to start iu the first place to teach Wellington steamboat owners, their captains, and crews, to fear God and keep the Sabbath Day Roly—x-.-m, Ac., Sailor.
