THE NEW TARIFF. [Concluded from our last.]

The schooner Governor Hobton, was launched from the slip, on Saturday l**t, after having undergone a thorough repair.

We believe the barque Indemnity is the next vessel to be placed on the slip.

The barque Eleanor, 496 tons, Capt. Holderness, which arrived in this port in November 1841, from Sydney, and sailed for Bombay ; was totally consumed by fire, on the 27th September last, whilst lying in Allepee roa is, supposed to have been set on fire by the crew. The Eleanor was bound from Bombay to Calcutta, loaded with salt and coir rope.

Birth. — On Wednesday, February 1, the wife of Mr. John Duck, late of Bath, now of Wellington, of a son.
