After such a dearth of building as that which has been prevailing for so ionj; a time, it is pleasing to notify the arrival in port of such a clipper-built little craft as :he fore-and-aft schooner Halatoa. She comes from Messrs. Lane and Brown's yards at Whangaroa, and has been built to the order of Messrs. McArthur and Co., for the island trade. The Halatoa is well and faithfully built of the best materials, and judging by her lines should prove a speedy sailer. Her passage from Whangaroa, with 8500 feet of timber on board, occupied but 30 hours. She has been brought to this port to be measured and registered, and to receive a few finishing touches. When these necessary details nave been attended to, the Halatoa will proceedto Whangaroa and take a load of sawn timber to the islands. Early yesterday forenoon the signal station at the North Shore gave notice of the approach of the three-masted vessel, but the mission schooner Southern Cross, which was the vessel signalled, did not make the harbour till dusk.
