The Norway has a full load ol oats an<l wheat shipped by Mr W. Evan? Messrs E, Wilkin and Co. and the N.Z.G.A, and 11. Company. She will most likely take her departnre to-day. Mr A. White's barquentine Aunio Bow, Captain Stephens, arrived from Newcastle yesterday morning and was moored at the inner buoys inside the Breakwater without delay. ■ The Annie Bow left Newcastle on the Ist instant, had fine strong winds to the Solanders, which were passed on tho 7th insr., and light winds up tho coast nntil passing Oamarn early yesterday, when she picked np a strong S.EI breeze, which brought her intc port, as above. Tho Annie Bow has brought a fnll cargo of coals for her owner, and will start unloading without delay. The Auckland Evening Star says that what promises to be one of the finest ves3e!3 over turned out at Auckland is now m course ol construction at Air E. McKay's shipbuilding jard, Freeman's Bay. She will register ovei 300 tons, or about 100 tons more than tht brigantine Defiance, which was the last vesse from the same yard. The timbers have beer nearly all set up, and show that she will be i very pretty craft, with good carrying capacity and fast sailing powers. The dimensions of th< vessel are : — Longth of keol, 118 f t; beam 27ft ; depth of hold, 12ft 7in. All tho planking will be of heart of kauri, and every alternate timber will be pohutakawa and pnriri whilst all fastenings will be of the very besl material. It is scarcely necessary to remarl that tho workmanship will also be of tho best Mr McKay intends to try and get the highosl classification under Lloyd's that ia possible foi colonial vessels to gat, and it seems verj likely that ho will be anccessful.
