Dr. Wilmer was called out, and made, as is

was director of the Eastern Luuatic Asy-

1t was matter Of modification and shame
to him as compared with its present status,
and that be gave DR.. Brewer the credit for
the improvement.
Or. Brewer seemed to duly appreciate the
compliments, and contrasted his coming, as
he described 1t, on o cold, bleak day, north
east wind prevailing, and no friend to greet
him, but now the presence of 80 many to
say adieu was indeed gratifying in the ex.

The James River Canal not Popular.

WASHINGTON, December 23.-The Virginia
delegation have not been unmindtul OF the
grea. work which the people of the State
expect them to forward here this session, and
some efforts have already been quietly made
in the direction Of obtaining Federal aid ID
the extension of the James River and Kama
wha canal. 1t may not be pleasant news, but
the fact is that the outlook in this direction
is by no means promising. 1t is not unlikely
that it will get some support in the Com
mittee on Railways and Canals, but certainly
it will be throltled by the Committee on Az.
preparations. Two members of that COM
miltee have publicly expressed their deter
mipaton to oppose any subsidy at this ses-

Richmond-BuiIt Steamships.

HARRISON LoRINGs CRY POINT WoRKs,
October 80, 1875. !
Editor the Nautical Gazette:
Sir,-In the last issue Of the Nautical Ga
zette description OF the Harlan d Hollings'
worth Iron Ship.Buiding Company's works
Ia given. In that article they claim to be the
oldes, iron ship building establishment in the
United States. Their claim will hold good
if ship built with fat bar iron, instead OF
angle. for frames, constitutes first-class iron
ship. The first complete iron ship built in
| the United States according 10 Lloyd's rules
was built by Harrison Loring at South Bos-
ton, to run on the Hoogley river, Calcutta,
and named the Sestos; afterwards sister
ship, named the Contest, was constructed for
the same business. The next in order were
the celebrated iron steamships South Caro-.
| lima and Massachusetts, now named the
Juniata and Crescent City, built for
the Charleston trade, and used as
gunboats during the war both Of which
carried heavy ornaments and sustained the
shock of broadside firing without injury,
proving their great strength and good work
manshp. There was afterward built the
steamships Merrimac and Mississippi, speci-
mems of naval architecture well worthy of
the present day of advanced art Of iron ship.
building. The steamship Richmond is also
claimed TO have been built by the Harlan s.
HoliDgsworth Ship-Building Company. She
was built by me at Richmond, Va, with
~crkmeu, natives of that State (the rough
labor being performed by colored meD), for
the Virginia Steamship and Packet Com.
pany, who sold her to the Old Dominion
Steamship Company when completed and
launched.
The iron hull was towed to Wilmington
and there fitted with engine, boilers, and
cabins by the Harlan & Hollngsworth Ship
Building Company.
Richmond, however, may be justly proud
that the first efforts of her sons in iron ship
building should be claimed by so old firm
as specimen of their work. would further
say that had the people Of Richmond sup
ported the industry inaugurated by me it
would have proved a formidable rival 10
Wilmington, nature having contributed
greatly 10 that end. No place in the United
States is as we'll adapted in men and material
to prosecute that branch of industry.
Yours respectfully,
RICHARD LAvERY, Superintendent.
