It appears that the chief steward is under instructions to pr ?ecd to Wellington for orders. It is staled that the cooks and stewards objected to the transfer, and refused to sail until he was reinstated. On Wednesday night the chief and assistant cook and one or two stewards failed to return *o the ship, and she was unable to leave her berth in consequence. The position was advanced another stage this morning, when the stokehold crew came ashore. They had not returned up to this evening. It is stated that these men are acting in sympathy with the chief steward, consequently the Kabak* is. stiK held up indefinitely.
