Having no ballast under her • timber cargo, the captain could not pre?s her.; Hence tlis best rate of sailing is unaacertam-. ab'e. He could, however, get ten knots out of" her. The vessel is much admired, and pro* aounced a credit to Auckland.—The Harbonr' Board propose at once to dredge the long, channel so as to enable iaterprovincial • steamers to come up to town, and to < build a dredger capable of liftiog 500 tons stuff hourly. .
