Fulton aud CnancclIor livingston.

The following interesting incident, which oc-
CURED in the early history of contemplated steam
navigation, has been communicated to us by an
old Knickerbccker, whose memory OF past
events is fresh in his recollection. 1t brings to
mind the names of two great men; one genius
to whom the world is deeply indebted, and the
other name which New Workers, at least, will
ever remember with pride They are the
names ofRobert Fulton and Chancellor Living
| ston.
| After Fulton was fully convinced that steam
engine could be constructed so as to propel a
boat, and finding that he had no means to ena
bic him to prove the fact to the world, and moi
being able to satisfy any American capitalists o.
the Possibilities of his discovery, he went to Eu
ropo to see if he could not meet with more encour
agement among the capitalists. He wished te
test his discovery upon comprehensive scale
But he returned unsucccssfully, having met only
the derision usually applied to utopians and
mononaniacs. On his return to this city he &C
the Chancellor who accosted him thus:
"Well, Fulton. YOU - <hccn to England
and France, and am inf re besI
unsuccessful. Do you
that vessels can be propelled
81 do said Fulton.
"Well, then, said Livingston,
do you want to test the experiment."
81 want, said Fulton, 'fifty thousand dol
| lars.'
The reply of Livingston was one that jsstl,
entities him TO the lasting admiration of poster
ity-s'call at my Office said he, ssto-morrov
morning, at ten clock, and receive my checl
for the amount.
Fulton did call, and did get that check
This enabled him to build one or two boats, ,an'
the reality of his discovery was proved to tn
world This crazy man suddenly became al
astonishing genius. A boat built, calle
the Chancellor Livingston, which ran betwee
this city and Albany. The Hudson river shoul
always have on its waters boat called tn
Chancellor Livngston; man who had lntell
sence enough to distinguish true genius fror
II visionary enthusiasm, and liberality and pair
otism enough to supply the means to enabl
that genius to show itself and confer upon pos
terity untold benefits should never be forgotten
Ii poor John Fitch, who predicted, man
| years before Fulton's discovery, that river
would yet oe navigated by steam, and who's
superior sagacity was met only by dersion an
contempt, had a Chancellor Livingston as
friend, the steam engine would have bee
twenty five years older than it now is. b.
+ poor Fitch died in obscurty, and was buried o
p the bank of one of the Western rivers, where
night and day, stately STEAMBOATS, pass his silel
grave.
