her being the last and only one now on the stocks at
the great commercial AMI shtppdng metropolis Of the

cline of this important branch Of industry end
should awaken our great merchants and capitalists,
as well the people OF the Empire City, TO try and
adopt some measures for Its restoration to its fomer
prosperity. ..r -
