A large number of spectator! Were present. The christening was performed fey the builder, Mr J. VV. Bell, who broke t bottle of champagne as the boat was launched, and named her the Victoria. The vessel has been built to the order of Messrs Watt Brothers, of Napier. Her dimensions are as follows :—Length, 60 feet; beam, 12 feet; depth of hold, 5 feet. After the launch, success to the builders and owners was toasted in presence of Captain and Mrs Gascoignc, a liberal quantity of champagne and cake being provided. The completion of the boat reflects the highest credit upon the builders, The Victoria is to be commanded by Mr James Sell ars, who ably superintended the building of the vessel. The Victoria has first and second cabin accomodation, and •will no doubt be a boon to tourists, enabling them to visit Tokano and other places round the Lake without difficulty. The Victoria will be ready to steam to and from Tokana in about a fortnight.'.

The Albatross.—The following description of this new schooner is from the Auckland Evening Star, 16th May :—The new schooner Albatross, built and lately launched at Wangapouaby Mr Harris, junr, arrived in harbor this morning early, and anchored off the Breakwater. Mr Barber, the builder of the cutter Fanny, has been the directing mind in her construction, and in the Albatross he has turned off a vessel that fully sustains his reputation. She was lauuched on the 21st of last month, the occasion being one of holi-day-making iu the district. She received her name from Miss Hams, the sister of the owner, and daughter of Mr 0. A, Harris, of Auckland. The new vessel is a model of. symmetry and grace, and looks a sphndid sailer. Her dimensions are as follows: Length of keel, 7i feet; length overall, 86 feet; breadth of beam, 20 feet 3 in. The registered tonnage is about 75 tons. She is registered as a fore-and-aft schooner. She has the latest improvements, in her steering apparatus, and her masts being wedged with indiarubber, causes a great decrease of the wear and tear caused by straining. She will be employed by Mr Harris in the Southern trade.

A Mystery of the Sea.—The South Augtralian Advertiser states that Captain W. B. Malzard, of the brig Prospero, reports falling in with a burning ship during his last passage thence to Mauritius. It was on the 27th January, in 27 degrees 51 minutes of south latitude, and 56 degrees 12 minutes of a east longitude, that a dismasted vessel was sighted-far away to the northward. The brig bore down on her, and passed close to her stern, when it proved to be the hull of a iron vess?l, supposed to be about 1,000 tons. The r whole of the woodwork had been destroyed by fire—indeed, there was still smoke arising 'f from what appeared to be the debris of general cargo. There had been most com- * plcte destruction, for not only were masts, spars, and decks gone, but the dead-eyes t were burned out of the channel-plates. The brig passed close to her, but could see no name or auything alive ou board. The . rudder was unshipped, arid the doomed ship was rolling heavily in the seaway. The master, having satisfied himself there were T no people to be saved, kept ou his course, and ' soon left the melancholy spectacle far astern. SHIPPING TELEGRAMS.
