A statement has been, circulated that the old trawler Mullogh (built at Queen's Island, Belfast, in 1855) is probably the oldest vessel in New Zealand waters, says the “New Times.” The well-known steamer Stormbird was built in 1854, at Glasgow, and ip therefore an older ves- ' sel than, the Mullogh. Mr. C. V. Houghton, Auckland manager for the New Zealand Shipping Company, stated at Auckland that while at Home he witnessed the launching of the company’s new steamer ltualiine, of 12,000 tons. . “She is,” he said, “fitted np with the most up-to-date conveniences for -jiassengers, including one-berth cabins. By practical xu6n <ti> Home it is considered that sne will be the most up-to-date boat in the New Zealand trade, both as regards nassenger and cargo accommodation. The contractors, Messrs Denny Bros., announced at the launching that they had received instructions to build another passenger steamer for the company on the most modem lines.” * Some queer conceptions occasionally arise as to the names of new vessels. The other day Messrs Turnbull and Co. Wellington, were tendered a boat note for the Nikau with the name spelt “New Cow.” lIY TELEGRAPH. CAPE MARIA, Dec. 6.
