Launch. - Yesterday afternoon, the new steamer Dawn, built for Messrs. H. & S. Jones, by Mr. Parkin, ship builder of this town, was launched amid the cheers of a large concourse of spectators. She is a good model, and went into her destined element in fine style. The Albion, under the command of Capt. Johnson, was lying off the ship yard, having on board, by the kind attention of the Captain, a goodly number of Ladies and Gentlemen of the neighborhood. After the launch she took the Dawn in tow and brought her into port.
