Tho barquo Natal Quaon, from LyfcfccUon, with a cargo of breads tufTs and three passengers, arrived in harbour early ycntciday «.. s . Oapciuu uuui'uiy l'oporcs having left Lyttelton on tho 2Gth ultimo, and for tho first part of the passago had strong N.E. winds; thonco S.W. veering toN.M. winds. Hounded the East Capo on Thursday last. A very heavy swell from tho eastward waa met with off the East Cano. Launch.— A now foro-and-affc schooner, built by Messrs. Lano and Biown, v\ is launched from thoir ahip-building yards at Whangaroa on March 1. Tho keel of the schooner was laid about nino months bne'e. There were a lar^o number of persona picscnt to witness the launch, and as the schooiifi ghdod off the ways into the water sho was christened in tho usual manner tho Alert, by Mrs. William Lano. Tho following aro tho dimension") of tho new schooner :— Length of koel, GOft ; length ovor all, 72ft.; beam, 17ft. Gin.; depth of hold, 7ft. ; tounago, builders' measurement, about 45 tons. Tho Alert was to be ready for sea about tho 20fch inst. It is intended to employ her in tho trado between Whangaroa and this port, under tho command of Captain Lane, at present in charge of tho Sunbeam. The cutter Dido ai rived in harbour from Ly ttolton yestei day with a cargo of wheafand oats. Captain Olson re-ports having left Lyttelton Heads at 3 p.m. on Tuesday, tho 25 th ultimo, with N. V). and easterly winds and thick rainy weather t> tho East Cape, which was rounded on Tuesday last. Thonco stiong westerly winds. Put into Hicks's iiay for shelter ; lay there 12 hours. Sailed again on Wednesday at 4 p.m. Made tho Red Morcury Island next day at G p.m. Had light winds and calms the remainder of tho passage. lioundocl Capo Colvillo at 1 a.m. on Saturday, arriving in harbour yestei day morning early. Tho s.g. Ladybird, wo learn, has been almost rebuilt, although her Iino3 liavo been carefully maintained, and it is therefore expected that sho will be capable of going at great speed. Her cabin accommodation is 0110 of tho most perfect kind, and mipenor, if is stated, to tho gonoral run of vessels of her Bi/o. The old engines of tho Airedale havo been put in her. When tho s.s Go ahead left .Sydney she had steam up for a trial trip, which wo have no doubt has fully answeiod tho most Hanguino anticipations* of her ownerd. Tho coal barge that is being built at tho Thames by Mr. Kobeit Stone, to tho ordor of the Bay of Islands Company, 13 fast approaching completion, and in all probability will bo ready for launching on tho new-moon apiing tides at tho latter end of this month. Like tho stoamcr, which preceded her on tho stock.s, her eoii'ih notion is upon tho diagonal principle, which combines strength with lightness and flexibility. Tho bargo will bo as fttiong as sound wood nnd good woikmanship tan mako her ; bei floor is full of timber, whilst the keel anil kcelton arc of extra ai/o and strength. Laying on tin second akin will be finished on Monday, and a week later will see tho most of tho third in placo. Tho bai go would havo been ready for launching by next springs but for the unavoidable dolay in commencing her caused by the unexpected and extra woik of refitting and renovating tho machinery of tho Hteamer above roferred to, and which threw Mr. Stone behind his contract timo. However, as both vessels bolong to tho samo company, overy allowance willljc made for this. Our Northern Wairoa correspondent says : — " Tho Agnes loft Aratapu for Taranaki on Saturday last, with tiinbor for building tho new Hank of New Zealand. Tho Mavis, from Auckland, arrived on Saturday at Aratapu, whero sho will load for Lyttelton. Tho Tauranga has noarly completed loading foi Duncdin. The Golden lalo sailed from 'IV Kopuru on Monday for Auckland, with (JO.OOOft H.iwn timber. The Hero has an wed at To Kopuru from Onehunga." — •+
