IMPORTANT TO SHIPOWNERS. - The Brighton Flag announces that Capt. Quick, of
Brighton, has constructed a set of "marine boxes" by which to lift sunken vessels. The boxes when connected measure 80 feet in length. They were employed successfully in raising the schooner PRIMROSE, which sunk in Weller's Bay last autumn. The Flag says she now lies high and dry ready to be put in repair.
