The Victoria Foundry, Wellington, has secured the contract for the contraction of a powerful tugboat for the Brunner Coal Company, to rcp'ace the Lioneaa, which wa3 wrecked on the Greymouth bar some months ago, and the framework of the ve-sel U already in pcaition, although only a few weeka have elapaed since the job was secured. The steamer, which, of course, la to be of iron, is being built on tne Te Aro foreshore, and will be ready for launching by the end of the year. She .will be 1C516 long, will possess a beam of 17ilt, and her depth of hold will be IWft. Her bottom will be very flat, in order to allow her to go over the bar with ease, and it ia ttipulated that her draught of water shall cot exceed 6ft. She will be very eubatantially built, and in thia re=pectwill be superior to any other tug-boat in the Colony. Her großa tonnas. c will be about 100. She will be fitted with the powerful enginia saved from the wreck of the Lioness, and her boilers, two in number, will be from the Victoria Foundry.—Wellington Post.
