In the Midlothian, Master, agent; New Zealand pro_ duce, 5 bags barley,? ditto gr.ass seed, 6 ditto flour, and various duty cargo. ■ '■■'••• A handsome craft has lately been added to our.coasting fleet by the launch of the Midlothian, a schooner of about 20 tons, built at Pigeon Bay, by the Messrs. 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.
