Per Talune, for Southern ports, Hobart, and Melbourne: 1228 bags and 50 sacks sugar, 105 cases and 4 hhds. syrup, 307 cases and 6 sacks kauri gum, 100 cases soapene, 70 bales wool, 68 casks whale oil, 285 cases oranges, 38 bales flax, 90 sacks oysters, and a quantity of sundries. Yesterday morning the Northern S.S. Co.'s steamer Clansman arrived from Russell and Northern porta with several passengers and a, quantity of kauri gum and sundries. She left for Tauranga in the evening and returns early to-morrow morning. The Tyser Co.'s steamer Star of England sailed for Wellington yesterday shortly after noon. The Union S.S. Co.'s steamer Talune left for Southern ports, fciobart, and Melbourne at half-past twelve o'clock yesterday. The Northern S.S. Co.'s steamer Wellington left for Whangarei last night. This morning the brigantine_ Kenilworth will clear at the Customs and sail for Hobart in the evening with a cargo of timber. By a private letter just received from Melbourne we learn that the brigantine Yolande, Captain M. McDonald, is now on her way from Raine Island to this port with a cargo of guano, she having left there about two weeks ago. The barquentine must have made a good passage over and received excellent despatch at the island, as it is only about seven weeks since she left here. / The schooner Sarah Pile will leave for Noumea next week. , - , The schooner Gisborne is loading up for the East Coast, and will sail early next week. Captain Martin, formerly of the schooner Saxon, is now in charge of the vessel. Since the Gisborne has been in port, Captain Mar4tin has had the masts and rigging thoroughly 'examined and overhauled, a statement having been made that the mainmast was unsound.' This has proved not to be so, as on examination the stick was found to be quite sound. •'*•' , H. Ms. Tanranga was to leave Sydney for this porti this week to relieve H.M.s. Goldfinch, the latter chip proceeding to the New Hebrides.' v

I The barque Devonport sailed from Hokianga yesterday for Sydney with a cargo of baulk timber, . The Union S.S. Cc steamer Janet Nieoll is due from the South to-morrow with a cargo of grain. ; .

The Union S.S. Co.'s steamer Waihora left Wellington for this port via the East Coast yesterday, and is expected here on Monday. She leaves for the south, Hobart, and Melbourne on Thursday. The New Zealand Shipping Co.'s steamer Duke of Argyle, from London, may be expected to arrive here about Monday next. She has a large cargo for this port. FOREIGN VESSELS IN NEW ZEALAND WATERS. We understand that the large four-masted American schooner, W. F. Weimaun has again been chartered to carry timber between Kaipara and Australia, and it is reported that several other foreign-owned vessels are seeking engagement in the same trade. It is time that something was done in the matter of either prohibiting these vessels from running on our coasts or making them amenable to the same laws to which locally-owned vessels have to adhere. It is a well-known fact that British vessels are not allowed to engage in what is termed the American coasting trade, to which a very wide margin has been given by the American authorities, as they debar British vessels from even taking a cargo from New York to San Francisco, those ports being included in the " coasting I limit. In connection with this matter, the following remarks are make by a writer in a recent number of the Gisborne Standard :— " It will be understood that our colonial and intercolonial sailing vessels are enough for I our requirements, and while registered at any ' of the colonial ports the following strict laws ! have been passed regarding them: First, ! they must carry a full crew according to tonnage; second, they must carry proper side lights, and correct codes of signals; third, they must not be loaded deeper than the registered mark called Phmsoll's mark. There are also other laws that have been passed regarding colonial vessels. In addition to these, seamen have to be paid from £4 10s to £6 per month. Under our freetrade system these vessels have alien traders to contend against. For instance, we will say that a Scandinavian vessel leaves Christiania, the captain shipping a crew of his own countrymen for three years. (Able seamen's wages average £1 3s per month.) He comes out to Sydney or ' Melbourne with a general cargo, ana on arrival his next move is to apply to some of the large merchants for a job as a coaster, as he is prepared to take freights much cheaper than the captains of colonial traders. He can load his vessel down to the scuppers, as the Plimsoll mark is unknown to him. He flies his own flag, and all the colonial shipping laws are a farce as far as he is concerned. When his three years have nearly expired he takes a cargo Home, ships a fresh crew there, and comes out again to repeat his previous performances. Meanwhile, what are the sailors and small shipowners in the oolonies doing ? The former go to swell the ranks of the unemployed in the large towns, and the latter stand a good chance of figuring in the Bankruptcy Courts."
