NEWCASTLE SHIPPING.
The barque Subraon, for Port Nicholson,
will commence taking her cattle on board on
Monday next
LAUNCH.-There was great excitement at
Stockton to-day, on account of the launch of
the first vessel from the above port; she was
built at Mr. Winship's yard. She is a
schooner, about 50 tons register, and went
off the stocks beautifully. She was chris-
tened by Captain Livingstone, and named
the Pilot; she was generally admired for her
model and strength. She belongs to a com-
pany at Newcastle, and is intended for the
coal trade. There was a large concourse of
persons present, including the principal part
of the ladies of the town. There was a salute
of 21 guns fired from Messrs. Fisher and
Donaldson's wharf, and a cold collation pro-
vided, which the parties present did ample
justice to; several loyal toasts wete drunk on
the occasion, and the parties separated highly
delighted with the day's entertainment.
