MORE ABOUT SHIP BUILDING.


gave you the other day brief description Of
one of the new steamships recently constructed al

me now add few details, showing the extent and
progress Of this important department of human
skill and enterprise as exhibited in this great mart
Of civilization, trade, and commerce.
The Georgia" and "0hio' steamships are now
lying at the foot OF ninth street on the East river
They are receiving their machinery. Mr. George
Law is the builder Of these splendid ships The
model Of both is very beautiful. Each has four
boilers, with "drop Aues"-90-ipch cylinders, eight
feet stroke, and two thousand horse power In The

the steamship "Arctc," one Of Mr. Collins Liver
pool line, is in process Of construction An inn
mense packet-ship is on the stocks at Williams
burgh. She is intended for the New York and
Liverpool trade. She is l,ss0 tons register; 2O5
feet long AZ feet beam; and % feet hold Several
steamboats,, intended TO run to Albany are building
at various yards. One modelled after the "Alida, .
favorite and swift boat, is on the stocks at Mr..
Collins yard. This boat will be nearly $50 feet
IN length. Then there are ships, and barques, and
schooners, and all sorts Of smaller craft on the
stocks the greatest hustle and activity at all the
yards; and no little emulation, rivalry and jealousy
among the builders as to which can produce tho
most approved model, and the most successful
piece OF naval architecture.

are more advanced | shall give full details as to
their mode Of construction, dimensions, and so on

lawsuit, exciting good deal Of interest in &c.
ceslastca circles, is proceeding in our superior
court. The parties are the executors Of the late
James Roosevelt, wealthy merchant of this city
on one hand, and the Union Theological Seminary
and James Roosevelt Bayley, on the other; but the
contest rs strictly between the seminary and Mr..
Bayey-the plaintiffs 10 the suit being but nominal
plaintiffs.
Ii seems that Mr.. Roosevelt devised a tenth Dor
ton of his estate to Mr. Bayley, who is his grand
son and was at that time minister of the Protes.
tant Episcopal church. But codicil Of later date
is in these terms
Whereas, in the fifth section Of my last will
and testament, bearing date the second day Of Sep
TENDER, one thousand eight hundred and forty-one,
have devised and bequeathed to James r. Bayley,
one OF the sons OF my daughter Grace, deceased
portion Of my estate and whereas the said james
X. Bayley, once a minister Of the gospel in the
Protestant church, has renowned the faith Of his
iather, and is now priest in the Roman church,
and as deem it neither just Tor right that any part
Of the property which God has given me should be
instrumental in building up faith which think is
erroneous and unhoy, do therefore, by this codci
which hereby declare to be part Of my said last
viii and testament, to all intents and purposes and
10 be taken as such, annul and make void the
aforesaid bequest and devise to the said James r.
Bayley, and do give and bequeath the portion so
gwen him by my last will and testament TO the
Union Theological Seminary, in the city Of New
York, incorporated by act ofthe Legislature, passed
March 9th, 1899, and to their successors and as
sigma"
Under this codicil the Seminary claim that il
is entitled TO one-,enth part Of the residuary estate
of the esaior and also to one-tenth part Of the an
nuiiy funds, on the death Of the annutants On the
other hand, Mr.. Bayley contends that the disinher-
itng codcil is founded the supposition that he,
as Roman catholic priest, could not hold property,
and that the property Of the testator, If in his
hands, would be used in building up faith deemed
TO be by the tesiator and that that sup
position was unfounded, nesmuch as the properly
thus devised could have gone only to his individual
support and maintenance. Mr. Bayley also con-
tends that the codcil is prosecuting and proscrp-
tive, and ought not TO be construed beyond It's
strict legal meaning and effect
It appears that the bequest remained unrevoked
for three or four years after Mr.. Bayley became
Romanist, and that he was disinherited only when
he became member Of the priesthood. The case
has excited great attention, as you may suppose,
and | shall watch its progress with attention, so as
to inform your readers Of the issue On both sides
there is distinguished legal talent engaged-Mr
George Wood for the seminary, Mr. Daniel Lord
