We understand there are at present more vessels build-
ing at Kincardine than has been at any one time these
lass ten years. Five vessels, none of them of less tonnage
than 100 per register, are on the stocks, and carpenters are
much wanted to complete the work on hand. So busy and
so much employed are they at present, that the repairing
of vessels cannot be undertaken.--Coiedonion Mercury of
Monday.
Tuesday being Valentine's Day, the number of letters
for delivery was so great that upwards of thirty extra bands
were added to the Twopenny Post Department, together
with a number of extra sorters.
