The Pyramus, bark, of 367 tons, Mr. George Livesay, Master, came alongside the Dockyard on the 17th inst., being laden with cowdie timber, from New Zealand, for Her Majesty's service. As far as I have been able to ascertain, a favourable opinion obtains here respecling the general fitness of this description of timber for mast purposes; but it seems that the Dockyard people have but a very imperfect knowledge of its qualities from their own experience. As soon as the Pyramus has discharged her cargo, she will be surveyed by the Dockyard officers, and, if found fit, will be taken up for the conveyance of troops to Barbadoes.
