The barque East Lothian started this morning, closely followed by the Joliba, but the wind failing they both had to bring up opposite Gollan’s Bay. The brigs Tower Hill and Craig Ellaclne arrived in harbor since our last issue, they both bring timber from the North Island. Mr A. McKinnon’s tender for repairing the ship Devana has been accepted. Nothing material is the matter with this fine vessel, but the hard usage she received when running her easting down, on the outward passage, has necessitated her receiving new bulwarks amidships on both sides, aud a few new fastenings. Her main chain-plates on both sides are to be taken off and straightened. She is to receive two or three sheets of copper on her bilge. We can congratulate Messrs Guthrie and Larbbch upon the very handsome addition they have made to their coasting fleet in the new schooner industry, which arrived from Gatlin’s River yesterday. The Industry was built and fitted out at Gatlin’s River by Mr M’Pheei’and is a substantial, good-looking craft, that will, we think, when measured, register about 70 tons. She is coastructed of first-class materials; her frame being ironwork, and her planking, of kauri, and to judge by her outward appearance we should he inclined to say that she has been faithfully jmt together. Her dimensions are— Length on.the keel, 7.6 ft ; overall, 85ft; beam, 18ft 6in ; dapth of hold, 6ft 6m. She made a first-class run from Gatlin’s River, and is described by her master, Captain Annott, to bo good for 10 knots with anything like a favourable breeze. The Industry has neither been christened nor registered, and her rig is also incomplete. She will be finished off here in the abovepartirulars, and will then he a smart topsail schooner ; now she minus a foretopmast. The Industry brings 81,000 ft of timber—a little more than enough to ballast her. As in the case of the other vessels from Gatlin’s River, she passed the Port on the flood tide and went on to Dunedin;' -
