In % doing sacrificed the good name Of q

TIE New York dinner TO the American
ship-builder, John Roach, to which allusion
has been made in our dispatches, was some
thing more than mere personal and private
demonstration. Foryears Mr.. Roach has been
contending in the face of fearful odds that
iron ships could be built in America as well
and as chesply as in England. Few believed
or placed the least credit In what he said;
but he has by his own heroic endeayors
conquered conviction and inspired our CAPT.
talists with his own magnificent faith. The
