Marshall, imd launched about two months ago. She deserves notice, not only as being built on our own shores, but also -for the skill displayed in adapting her to'the peculiar service for which she is destined. ' Though of; a tonnage above the average of our toasting craft, she draws very,little water, about 18 or 20 inches when light, and double that when timber laden. The best-evidence of her capability is that on her former and first trip, a week, or two ago, she took from Lyttelton the machinery for a large sawmill to Bone's Bay, carried" it np theKtream.in that place,.where; no. r yessel had..ever, been before. In order to give the advantages of a deeper draught •when necessary,'she is constructed with'a centre board, ou a somewhat new principle, which, we ate informed,
answers extremely well; Bho has also good accommodations for "cargo,;'.and, great facilities for loading and di«charging. Considering.that- our.carrying service must increase with the,increasing trade of bur ports, we .are well pleased to find a lead taken by durownbuilders in the constrnction of vessels speciaily provided for the J peculiarities of our !cbasts and riyersj and which may 'serve as models, or as the basis of improvements' in those which are tofollo'w.
