Launch.—-The Auckland Evening Star, 9th inst., says:—A fine new brigantine arrived from Great Omaha yesterday afternoon. She has been built there by Meiklejohn Brothers. She registers about 120 tons, and has the following dimensions : Length of keel, 78 feet; length over all, 88 feet; beam. 22 feet 6 inches ; draught when loaded, 10 feet. The vessel has been built to the ord°.r of Captain Fairchild and others, and is intended for the coast trade. A deckhouse for the crew is built forward. She has a raised poop, with excellent cabin accommodation, aud is fitted wsth patent steering gear. Her sails were made by Mr Donald. The ship May Queen, from London, arrived at Dunedin on the 13th inst. The steamer Golden Crown, which was sold to a Sydney firm, returned to port after leaving the Bay of Islands, a leak having been discovered under the stern-posti through which she was making three inches of water an hour. It is understood that the conditions of the purchase required the delivery of the steamer in Sydney by the 20th inst. The steamer Result.—This steamer, built in Auckland for a Napier firm, has been successfully lauched. The first attempt at launching her was a failure, as it left her fast on a mudbank.

The ship Rosalia left this port for Dunedin on Sunday afternoon. Four of her original crew, on second thoughts, preferred the risk of the voyage to the prospect of two months' hard ]abor, and Captain Veal was successful,in obtaining other hands. Capt. Crabbe, who recently anived from Dunedin, went in the Rosalia as coasting pilot. We ■wish this unlucky ship and crew a safe and prosperous passage to Dunedin after their many tribulations.

" Protection to native industry," says the Melbourne Argus, is a phrase which bears the stamp of imposition on the very face of it. It is not what it professes to be. It involves the obtaining of money in the shape of taxation under false pietences. The victim is deluded first, and robbed afterwards. The industries which alone deserve the name of " native," namely, those of the miner, the farmer, the wool-grower, the cattle grazier, and the vigneron, have been actually laden ■with heavy burdens, and subjected to Berious disabilities, in order that certain exotic occupations might be introduced and artificially stimulated and spoonfed anto & sickly vitality. Supposing that it ■were 'o«e of the functions of the state to 'constitute itself the.wet-nurse of any industry,'the .employments we have enumerated would .establish a prior and paramount claim upon .its fostering affection ;and grandmotherly .supervision. They are indigenous to the country, and depend for their suocesa upon the .utilization of its resources.
