Rice Lake Steam Boat - The Schooner Duke of York, from York, arrived here on Saturday last, bringing the engine intended for this boat, which is nearly in a sufficient state of forwardness to receive it. The workmanship and strength of all the important parts of this engine reflect much credit on the contractor, Mr. Perry of York, who we understand will superintend its erection. - The boat will probably be ready to start about the middle of June next. [Cobourg Star]

Hamilton Steam Boat Company - At a Meeting of the Directors held in this Town on the 1st inst. to receive tenders for the building of a Steam Vessel, several offers were made, which remain under consideration. Captain Mackenzie of Kingston, who was appointed by the directors, to act in behalf of the said Company, has since, we are informed, obtained offers for the building department on much lower terms than those submitted to the meeting.
