for Maryland; itoxana, SKow, from Virginia; and
Edward Bardon, PSVERKIJX, from New (Means, with
tobacco, all for orders : some of which have since
sailed for their destinations. The superior conve-
niency of the port of Cowes as a place for merchant-
ships to halt at, in passing up or down Channel,
either for orders, provisions, shelter, or repairs, is
proved by the frequency of foreign arrivals. The
roadstead is of the most tenable ground, and within
500 yards of the town ; and there is now a dry dock
,at the port, lately constructed at great expense, capa-
ble of receiving ships of fourteen feet draught of
water. Some American ship-owners have lately taken
I advantage of the dock for the caulking and copper.
ing of their ships when going on East-India or other
long voyages, as has been particularly instanced in
the Malabar, ORME Master, bound to Canton, and
,the General Hamilton, Fextows Master, for New
York. An establishment of such convenience and
capacity, there being no other so eligibly situated for
repairs in the British Channel, cannot fail to be
eagerly resorted to by the ship-owners of Holland
and Eastern States, as well as those of America, for
the purposes of careenage and refit. The first week
in the next month there will be launched from this
dock a fine large West-India ship of 360 tons burden,
built by the proprietor, Mr. WHITE, for Thomas
Km, Esq, one of the elder brethren of the Trinity
House; and at the same time a brig of 250 tons, for
another respectable London house, both composed of
the first-rate materials, and of such construction as to
reflect high credit on he builder.
