Beautiful Launch. A new burque called the

on Saturday morning last at 10 o'clock, ftom
the ship yard of Messrs. Skinner s. Son, on the
South side of the Basin. She was launched
with her masts and rigging all on board, and
went into the water in gallant style. She was
built for Messrs. McCready s Co., of New

built on that side of the Basin. We prophecy
that she will show her heels to more than one
vessel on the ocean. {
