Thursday last being a very pleasant day, great numbers of
people assembled to see the launching of the large and
beautiful ship from Mr. DERBY'S wharf. They were, however,
disappointed in the pleasure they expected, by her stopping
when she had run about half her length: and all the efforts
which could be made were ineffectual in getting her off at
that time: the next day, however, with the aid of proper
apparatus, and the assistance of the people assembled, she
was again put in motion, and gained the water.--The name of
_The Grand Turk_ is revived in this ship, heretofore borne
by a ship belonging to Mr. DERBY, remarkably successful as a
privateer in the late war, and which was some time since
sold in India.
The ingenious Mr. ENOS BRIGGS, from the North River, was the
master-builder of the new ship Grand Turk.
