p.2 Vessel Charter - The schooner Grantham has been charterized at $65 per M. to carry timber from Toledo, Detroit and Pigeon Bay to Kingston during next season. She will make seven or eight trips. Navigation is supposed to open about May 1st, although Wiggins is to be heard from yet.

Inspection of Ships' Hulls - The Department of Marine has instituted a board for examination of candidates for the position of Inspector of ships' hulls on the St. Lawrence and Great Lakes. The reason for this step is the numerous casualties of late years to vessels supposed to be unseaworthy. An examination is now in progress, Captain Scott, of Kingston, being one of the candidates.

p.3 A New Yacht - keel laid at Belleville by Cuthbert.
