Sinr-BuunHNO at IxnntrMnniix. — The " Southland Times" of tho 3id Instant contains the following respecting tho suitability of Stewart's Island for thip-bnilding purposes : — " Wo have repeatedly expressed 11 confident opinion that ftt no distant date the acquisition of Steward Island by thi» province would prove of more value than it at first appeared. Its splendidly sheltered and easy accessiblo harboursjujid inlet*, its forests of tho finest timber, its coastal waters teeming with excellont fish, tho fortuity of tho toll when cleared of tho superabundant bush, the healthfulness of Us somewhat moist, but equable climate— all tendodto support our view. Hitherto' tho development of its re30uicet has boon retarded by tho samo evil influences which ltavo momentarily cheokod the prospoiity of tho rest of the province. Indeed, for a time, it appeared probable that tho steam taw-mlllt established by Messrs Bullock and Walker, and other enterprising colonistt, would cease to afford profitable employment to tho capital and labour engagod. It is true that a few vessols were bnilt, for Cttiiedln owners, but no really systematic attompt wai mado to establish ship-buildingyardi on fl icalo calculated to onsurt the attention and invite tho sapport of those interested in colonial shipping It affords us much satisfaction to bo in a position to stato that tho want has of lato been supplied Mr. C E Prlco, shipwright, late of the Eoy»l Navy, now residing at raterson's Inlet, Stewart's Island, has completed the requisite arrangements for tho contraction of vessels, up to 1,000 tons ; the depth of water alongside tho tlipt— 11 feet at low water springs with S feet rise— permitting of tho launch of ships of tho size we have indicated. Ho U already engaged in building one for Captain Proctor, of the Bolndec, a craft specially adapted for tho New Zealand coasting trado Jfor dimensions are 90 feet keel, 110 feet over all, 22 feet beam, S feot 0 inches depth of hold It will bo thus bo seen that a light draught of water will bo combined with largo carrying capacity—ettimated in this instance at 220 tons burden. Captain Simpson, of tho btorm Bird, has also, we understand, given instructions to Mr. Price to construct another vetsel on tho same lines while n gcntlomnu, whose name wo have not ascertained has ordered a cutter of 45 to 60 tons. For tho framework rata, or ironwood, as it is commonly called, is to bo uted. It is perhaps the most durable timber known in tho Australian colonies, classing equal to English oak, and from iU habit of grow th is admirably adapted for the purpose. ToUra, rimu, and matai— giowing in the immediate vicinity in abundance and of tho finest quality— will bo mod for planking, fitting-", ic, as their respective properties may suggest Spnrs of 00 feet in length are obtainable a. fact which is worthy of being widely known, inasmuch as it is a matter o! yearly increasing difiiculty to obtain thorn of inch dimensions. From the perfect accessibility of Mr. Prico's ihip-ynrd, when considered in connection with the above facts, we have no doubt that he will soon orgiinise an active business in refitting as well as building. IHs skill and experience are well known. We believo we are justified in saying that nowhere in New Zealand cm bo found a place bitter suited for tbe development of the industry of shipbuilding than the tite telected." Wo regret to stato that there teemt every probability that tho Susannah, the propel ty of Mr. Warry, has foundered at sea She left Btitbane for Port Denison on tho 7th September, and was last seen off Keppell Bay. near the Three Friends, on or about the 18th September, just before some heavy galet commenced. She carried about thirty-five or forty tout, and was laden with general cat go. Both the vetsel ana tho cargo aro insured, but not to their full value. Mr. Warry h»s received letters from Port Domson, dated 20th October, but tho vessel had not ai rived at that time There wore four mon and a boy on board, including the captain, whoie namo was Firman —"Brisbane Daily Leader," November 7 Tho bsrque Kate loft Auckland October 8th, and has had strong winds from tho westward up to tho 17th ; on the 18th, had a heavy gale from tho south-west to south, latterly light southerly winds and calmt , made tho land on tho 21st. Ono death occurred on the passage, viz , Mrs. Melville, a cabin passenger —"Sydney Morning Herald " The favourite clipper-barque Novelty, Captain Austin, has, as usual, made a Rood passage from Auckland, bringing a few days' later intelligence She reports light variable winds and fine weather throughout The regularity and despatch with which this fine ship performs her voyages, and the comfort and attention experienced by all who have travelled by her, has established her name in the New Zealand trade : and on this occasion her passengers presented Captain Austin with a testimonial for his assiduity and attention during- tho pasta go from Auckland.— "S.
