There are now six steamers idle through the seamen’s dispute—three at Sydney and one each at Melbourne, Adelaide, and Brisbane. It is anticipated in shipping circles that unless the seamen man the idle ships within a few days the owners will issue an ultimatum calling upon the union to supply full crews for all vessels, otherwise a general tie-up will be ordered. ' Melbourne, January 5.
The crew of the lighthouse steamer Lady Lock have been paid off, as no men are offering to fill the vacancies on board.
