From the •• Otago Daily Times" we gather the following particulars of a new boat which is being built at Messrs Sparrow and Thomas' ironworks at Dunedin, for the New Landing Company, Tironru. The dimensions of the boat are—length 40 feet, breadth of beam 10 feet, average depth 5 feet. The framework is composed of 2-inch angle iron, and of timber string, rs 6 inches square ; the inside stringer, through the middle of the boat in the direction of stem to stern, being 35 feet in length. Each stringer on the inside has a corresponding one outside, and both with the plates between are firmly bolted together. The plates in tho bottom of the boat are fths of an inch, tho upper plates a quar er of an inch, in thickness. There are air tight compartments bokh fore and aft, for tho purpose of floating the boat, in the event of its getting swamped. On the top of the air-tight compartments at tho bow is an iron platform for the boat's crew to stand on.
