a new and beautifully modelled side wheel
steamer was launched en- Saturday last, at
Wilmington, Del. As she glded into the water
one OF her owners threw a handsome flag to
the breeze, and as it was unfolded it revealed
the lame of Fitiianl III. Setoard, whereupon
the crowd who had assembled to witness the
launch. sent up a loud and protracted shout of
applause. The cheering continued until the
vessel was moored alongside the wharf, when
a collation. was spread that did honor to the
vessel, her name, and ow ners.

occupied by MIR. G. W. Colby, robbed of s27
ard other articles of value. Room No. 81 was
also entered by q rObber, but there was no one
