for tho large number Of vessels now ordered or hasten
ing to completion.

A CoMIcAL DEER HuNT.-Mr Coles and two friends
left this city the fore part Of last week. for Long Island
on duck shooting excursion and while out ducking in
their sail boat the Peconc Bay Rverhead they
at some little distance apparently struggling
with and striking with his oar some ANIMAL which ap-
