American Ship Buiiding-stesm and Packet


We have on several occasions adverted TO the
great increase of our commercial marine and the
growing prosperity the United States, in COM
lnerce, arts and manufactures. When we consider
that within the short period of seventy years, the
ordinary duration of human life, the thirteen
American colonies of Great Britain, have emery.

power in the world in stren-th, physical and mo-
raj, and have increased in inhabitants from tn e
insignificant numbers ofthree millions TO twenty,
have extended the benefits of their glorious insti-
tutous the westernmost part of this great CONT
nent, it must be evident that elements of enter
prise, that lay dormant while we were colonists,
have been developed and found vent under The
benefcent influences of our republican instiu-
tions.
In no respect are the results of the develope-
ment of this new spirit more apparent than in the
effect it has had ur on If commercial marine.
This branch of the mechanic arts offered wide
field for the ingenuity and enterprise of our peo-
pie; and the manner in which il has been follow
ed up, may be gathered from the fact that for
twenty years pastour mechanics and ship builders
have annually produced u number of vessels,
which for beauty of model, speed in sailing, and
accommodation of passengers have no parallel,

parts of the world The birth of this enterprise
may be dated as far back twenty-six years,
when line of packets was establishei between
this port and Liverpool, composed of vessels of
three and four hundred tons burthen. When
these vessel. were put the route, they drew
forth the praise of even the English people, who
were bitterest enemies, well of foreigners
of every nation and every cline. The American
people then, and for the first time, we may say,
were looked upon as superior to the race our
transatlantic opponents had painted US; and from
that period may date the change in opinion
abroad, that has taken place concerning the Unit
ed States and our institutions.
Our progress since, in this and in other respects
has been rapid and steady. From three and four
hundred tons burden, our ships have increased to
a thousand, and twelve, and fourteen hundred
tons; while their speed and safety have keptpace
with their dimensions. From single line to Liver
pool, they have multiplied into six lines; and, in
stead OF plying between New York and Liver
pool only, we have packet lines between all the
principal ports in the United States and those
of Europe.
1t may be interesting to publish the names Of
all the packet ships at present owned in New York
and which ply to Europe, their tonnage and days
of sailing -

The Jersey City Ferry.


The statement which appeared in your paper
on Thursday morning respecting the lady step
ping overheard from the Jersey City Ferry was
true. Although she very imprudel.tly followed
the example Of several others in STOPPING under
the bar before the boat was made fast TO the
dock. The company must not think to clear
themselves by her negligence. There was a
large lamp on the other side, while on this side
there was only one small one at each of the fast
nings, whick scarcely showed any light the large
one, which l have seen there sometimes, was
not to Is seen, although the night wss very dark.
! heard several remark, at the time, that it was
difficult 10 see when coming out of the cabin. 1t
appearsto me that when there are so many per-
sons who cannot sec the danger until it is pointed
out TO them, there should be transparency to
caution thbfn, rs there is at the BROOKLYN Ferry,
or something else to warn Them Icannot think
