In reference to the late successful relaunching of the Yarra, we may fctate that Mr Grindley, who so- successfully launched the William Miskin, was entrusted with the supervision of the work, which, dating from the time an overland passage was decided* upon, was accomplished in ten days, including tliree'days detention on the Spit whilst she was in the hands of the carpenters ; this leaves sevfen days for her actual passage, so tluit sin was moved at tho rate of between two and three hundred feet each day, which is smart ,work, and ere ditable to all parties concerned in it. ,
