SHIP LAuNcti.---On Saturday afternoon, exactly at ten mi-
nutes past two, the new East India ship Abercrombie Robinson,
(so named in honour of the Deputy Chairman of the Board of
Directors) was launched at Messrs. Wigram and Green's yard,
Blackwall. The fineness of the day attracted a great number
of Ladies and Gentlemen to the spot ; and the scene was truly
delightful animating, when the immense structure moved with
apparent grace from the dock into the river, amid the cheers of
the assembled spectators, and the lively strains of an excellent
band of music provided for the occasion. This vessel, which
is by measurement between 1,300 and 1,400 tons, and conse-
quently will be able to carry 1,500, is designed for Bombay and
China, under the command of Captain Jones. Shortly after
the launch, a large party of friends of the owner and builders
were entertained with an elegant collation ; when " Success to
the Abercrombie Robinson," " Henry Bonham, Esq. the ship's
husband." " The Directors of the Hon. East India Company,"
and several other appropriate toasts were proposed and drank
with great enthusiasm. The Abercrombie Robinson is of exactly
the same size as the Edinburgh, which was launched on Wed-
nesday : and perhaps it is an unprecedented event in the annals
of ship-building, that two such magnificent vessels, belonging
the same owner, and built in the saute yard, should be launched
in one and the same week.
