THE STRANDED STEAMER OSPREY.
By the Kaipara train, last evening, Mr. E. W. Alison, the managing director of the Northern Union Steamboat Co., returned from bis visit to tho stranded steamer Osprey, at South Head, Kaiparn. From Mr. Alison we learn that it is expeoted that the Osproy will be floated off to-day, all arrangements for lifting the steamer being now about completed. The weather has been exceptionally favourable for the work, and the utmost expedition has been used by tho company in obtaining tile necessary appliances having them conveyed to where the -steamer now lies, which, owing to its being somewhat out of tho way, is a work of some difficulty. Mr. U.jorge Niccol, shipbuilder, of the North Shore, is superintending tho Operations, and is very hopeful of getting the steamer to Helonsville at an early date.
