The Carmona arrived this week from Quebec, though over 2,000 tons, discharged into the Surrey Commercial Dock under 700 standards of pine deals (of course being loaded up with other goods), and is, we believe, the largest ship, steam or sail, that has ever entered the docks mentioned. We alluded to the fact last year, when she brought then as now a portion of her cargo of deals, which she delivered into the Victoria Docks, whence they were barged into theSurrey Commercial,that the latter were capa- ble of accommodating vessels of even larger ton- nage than the Carmona. We understand the Dock Superintendent guaranteed 23ft. of water on the ledge at the main entrance at Rother- hithe.
