The new schooner for Mr Donald will be launched from Mr Bailey's yard, North Shore, to-morrow.

Messrs Fraser and Tinne have launched one of their four Government steam launches. She is fitted with compact little engines, and in her trial yesterday attained a rate of speed of between eight and nine knots. The Inspector of machinery has passed her, and she is now ready to take up her work. She is intended for Wellington. The next steam launch vill be sent off in about a week, and •will go to Dunedin. That. intended for Lyttelton will follow, while Auckland will get her's last.

" It is an ill wind that blows nobody good" is a proverb just now fully appreciated by the shipwrights of Auckland. The injuries caused by the late gale have given these gentlemen any amount of work, and to-day all round the harbour they have been as busy as bees. One of the boats which went ashore in Freeman's Bay was the Comfort, belonging to Mr Clare, and formerly the long boat of the Baron Aberdare. hhe is much smashed about the keel, and has been taken to Mr Clare's shed to he repaired. The/ship Countess of Kintore will not, we regret to say, come round from Napier to load here, Captain Braddick having arranged to take in cargo at Lyttelton. The schooner Pearl is being rapidly repaired. Her injuries are not severe, and it is estimated she will" .be ready for sea tomorrow. She cleared out to-day for Lyttelton with a cargo of grass seed and timber. The schooner Favorite haa cleared for Lyttelfcon via Ngungura with a cargo of timber and sundries. The brig Ella Gladstone was berthed at the wharf this morningl, and commenced discharging her cargo. The vessels which had put back into Eangitoto Channel in consequence of the gale, put to sea again yesteiday. 1
