Preparations are being made, according to the Dutch correspondent of the London Shipping Gazette, for a remarkable towing feat. A large dock is being built near Amsterdam for the Dutch East Indies, and it happens that a smaller dock is being built in England for the East Indies, and also a ship. To save three separate towages, it is proposed to put the ship in the small dock and to put the two in the large dock, which will be brought to England for the purpose. The unique three-decker will then be towed to the East Indies. OVERSEA VESSELS. STEAMERS TO ARRIVE AT WELLINGTON. From LondonDelphic (due about December 20), sailed on October 6, via Auckland.
