We have been requested by the contractor who launched the Jane Elkin from the North Spit, to state that it was not the ways that injured the vessel, but a heavy sea which struck her just as she was entering the water. The smart padiUe-steamer Tasmanian Maid, owned and Commanded by Captain Souter, arrived in the river yesterday, from the Manukau, having called at tho Buller and Fox's River, on the way down. This last addition to our coasting trailers is in every respect a suitable craft for- the trade, and will 'doubtless flnd ample employment. She is a handsome model, a good sea boat, and. ateaiha remarkably fast. Indeed it is a question if she is not the fastest boat on ooiist, " Shc> has considerable power, and is fitted with appliances for towing^ and her light draught will enable her to enter almost all the. parts on the coast with facility. We trust that Captain Souter's enterprise in bringiug such a useful steamer into Westland waters Avill meet with an adequate reward.
