The launch took place at highwator on Tuesday, April 17, Miss Bell performing the christening ceremony, • mid naming the launch the Uta, as she glided down the ways into tho water. The launch has been constructed in. Messrs. Logan Bros.' best style, and is of the following dimensions:— overall, 64ft; beam, 14ft: draught, 6ft, She is built on tho diagonal principle, all the hull being of the best heart of kauri, the floors being of pohutakawa, and the atom and sternpost of hardwood.

and during a, strong westerly gale made a full 85 knots per hour against the contrary weather conditions. The engines have been fitted up by Messrs. W. A. Ryan and Co., agents for the Union Oil Engine Co. of San Francisco, and are said to be one of the most up-to-date jobs of their class in the colonies, the finish being particularly good, all the prominent parts being nickled. Tho engines are of 50 indicated horse-power. NEW SCHOONER FOR THE ISLANDS. ■ A new schooner, which has been built by Messrs. Lane and Brown, of Whangaroa, to the order of D.II. and P. 0.. of Samoa, arrived from Whangaroa on Wednes., April 11. The' vessel, which has been named the Alfrcda, is constructed on tho frame principle, tho timber used being all ' heart of kauri. She is copper-fastened throughout, and coppered up to tho water-line. Tho smart look of tho vessel shows that she has boon faithfully and well built. Her dimensions are:— Length. 70ft; breadth, 16.8 ft; depth, 7.6 ft; tonnage, 42; draught, when loaded, 7.6 ft, tho cargo-carrying capacity being about 30 tons.

The new vessol is very strongly constructed, rigged as a topsail schooner, and is of tho following dimensions:-Length, 92ft; breadth, 23ft; depth, 7.6 ft; tonnage, 95; draught, 7ft. She carries a centreboard, and, if necessary, an oil engine can bo fitted into the vessel.

Business in shipping circles has been fairly brisk during the past month, but the quarantine restrictions put upon vessels arriving from ports outside of New Zealand have somewhat interfered with matters. Now, however, that those restrictions have been vory much modified, vossels only having to undergo fumigation, a return 1 to tho normal condition of things in tho shipping world may be looked for. Tho principal arrivals were tho New Zealand Shipping Company's steamer Wakanui, from London, Capetown, and Hobart, with general cargo, on April 26, and tho Tysor liner Tomoatia, from London, Melbourne, and Sydney, on tho Ist inst. The former vessel, upon discharge and taking in consignments of wool, kauri . gum, frozen moat, etc., for London, proceeded South to comploto hor discbargo and loading. The Tomoana is now discharging hor cargo, and is expected to got away to the South early next week. The mail steamer Moana arrived from San Francisco, Honolulu, and Apia on the Bth inst., with the usual consignments of Amoricau merchandise, and proceeded on to Sydney the same evening. The Shaw, Savill, and • Albion .Company's steamer Delphic is due from London, Capetown,'! and Hobart about the 26th inst. . The American barque MaryHasbrouck has arrived at Wellington from Now York, and is expected to reach this port shortly to load, kauri gum for Now York.
