About foity of the navvie* who arrived by the Turakina have been «ent to tho Main Trunk Railway worke. Theso are all single men, and have been sent to tho Taihape end. A number of the new arrivals booked through to Auckland, and it is expected they will reach Raurinuo in tt day or two. We are informed that the question of placing a naval architect on taie staff of the Marine Department to advise as to the stability of vessels has been under the consideration of the Government for somo time. The Acting-Premier (Hon. W. Hall -Jones) etates that he recognised some time ago that it would be very desirablo that the department should have the services ef such an expert, and enquiries were made as to whether any one possessing the necessary qualifications could be obtained in the colony. It was ascertained that the only gentleman suitable for the position was the Union Company's naval architect at Dunedin. It is possible thct during next session authority will be asked to obtain an expert of the kind from some other country. The Marine Department is framing regulations dealing with the stowage of ballast and the use of shifting boards in sailing craft.
