Mr. John Gregory, the well=known builder, launched a new tug in the South Branch yesterday afternoon. She possesses a very beautiful model, and is strongly put together. She is designed for the fishing service, and is well housed in. Parties in Green Bay are the owners.

THE ALBATROSS.
The Albatross is the name of a new fishing-tug which John Gregory, the eminent shipbuilder, has constructed at Doolittle & Olcott’s ship-yard, near Van Buren street bridge, and which will be launched in a few days. She is of a beautiful model, and excellently adapted for the business in which she is to embark. Her owners are Messrs. Schultz & Stahl, of this city. The following are her dimensions: 50 feet keel, 14 feet beam, 6½ feet hold.
