Ship Building in Richmond.

The Augusta Banner says Next to Bath,
there are more ships built annually in Rich
mond, than in any other town or city on the
kennebec. Indeed, we are told that there was
greater number of vessels built in Richmond
last year, than in Bath, though the average
size was not so great The present year there
have, or will have been launched, thirteen YES
sells mostly ships, amounting TO between three
and four thousand tons, costing an expenditure
in that town for their construction Of about
One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars
Very much is distributed amongst the me-
chanics of all kinds, farmers, merchants, &c.
Richmond has some peculiar facilities for car
rying on the business of ship building to ad-
vantage, and we think must soon become one
of the three largest cities on the kennebec.
When we were there, few days since, we
noticed large new ship of one Thousand tons
register, lying at the wharf, called the 'R. K
Page She was built by that Prince of Ship
Makers, T. J. Southard, Esq, who began life
as blacksmith apprentice, and is now one of
the largest ship builders and owners in Maine
This is an admirably built ship, and has been
purchased by the Mayor of Hallowell whose
name she now bears. Mr.. Southland launched
ship earlier in the season called the Moro
Castle, and has another Ocean Monarch on the
stocks, which will sit upon her element in a
few weeks. There are others in the ample
yards Of Capt. Patten, Messrs. Spear & Dins-
more, Spear & Toothaker &C., some of which
are nearly ready for launching. Ships are in
good demand, sell at profit, and we understand
a very considerable extension of business is ex-
