Bor Si (Editorial Correspondence of No. 12] New_York, July 28, ¥ ' After closing my letter of yesterday, 1 pled for hours up South street and in that vicinity of New Yor! Sast River front, among the dock yards and iron works, looking atall the different descriptions of docks whercin vessels of all sizes ere repaired, and at more mammoth machinery in the fron works os well as in the docks, than I ever before saw. In and about these works I presume some fifteen or twenty thousmnd mechanics and laborers. must fing pretty constant employment. ‘As difficult ss the task may seem to the !magina- tion of the uninitiated. they make but a comparg-) tively trif_ing job bere of raising high out of water a ship of three thousand tans burden, so supported when thus out of her element as that no injurious strain falls upov any of ber parts. As the use of the docks is let by the day, when a ship is in one workmen are employed in her repair in so great numbers as that ata distance they look like bees buzzing around. In the iron works to which I refer—the Morgan, Allaire, Secor and Novelty iron works—the heaviest machinery mannfactored in this country is gotten up. There are made not only the immeuse machinery for the steamships (American) plying from this port, but nearly all very heavy machinery sold here for use anywhere in the United States. One can get no better idea of the progress ef the country in the development of its resources, than by casting one’s eye over the progressing and finished work to be seen in those huge establishments. Apropos—I saw in the course of the same ram- ble, the steamships being built to run between New York and the District of Columbia, by Mr. Cromwell, a extensive and successful builder and owner of three or four such lines plying out of this port. The ship now on the stocks is to be called the Monticello. and is to be of 700 tons burden, with first class accommedations for thirty or forty passengers. She is to be ready te make her first trip by the middle of August; and her consort, the Mount Vernon, is to be built so as to take her place on the line in a month there- after. They are to make two trips a weck, leav- ing both New York and Washington every Wed- nesday and Saturday afternoon, and making the yoyage in thirty-six hours. The fact that business now exists to justify the investment of more than a hundred thousand dollars in such an enterprise, tells not only of the increasing commercial im- portance of our own immediate region, but, equally, that the tendency of the business affairs of the times is surely to make all sections of the Union tributary to this great American business centre. Competent judges, accordinz to the New York city newspapers, say that these ships of this new line, when finished, will be perhaps the best specimens of American propeller building aftoat- Texamined the hull ef the Monticello with great interest indeed, being deeply interested in the success of any enterprise tending to drive District of Columbia business ahead. Trade is said to be very dull here just now. However cvident that fact may be to the New Yorker, to the stranger it does not so appear. 1 never traversed the city’s streets when the hesita- ting stranger was. in as much danger of being knocked down and trampled over by omnibuses. carts, or the avalancbe of human beings constantly rushing to and froin them. He who stops by the way here for an instant, and withdraws bis mind froin the task of guarding his head and shins from collision, must be sure to do so in some nook or corner only, wherein a projecting building may prove asafeguard to him. The crowd. whether of vehicles or of men, women and children, surges reguiarly and constantly. as though influenced by a common impulse knowing no individuality, and asexpecting each of its own components to take care of himself. It never stops to think of the safety or the convenience of any of its atoms; but sowan an With a steady teomp from early light till midnight, its currents increasing, in intensity until its high tide. at noon. and then gradually ebbing and growing less intense,as it were. until the city is apparently almost as hushed ssa country village. Getting out of the way of the omnibuses is quite an art here, requiring much practice and no little complicated engineering on the part of the strancer. How the driversmauaye to do their work without twenty tines as many collisions as actually take place in the stree's of New York is a mystery tome. Of a knotty dilemma, it is often said that “it would puzzle a Philadelphia lawyer.” Of a kuottier one, it should be said ,that it will puzzle a New York omnibus driver. Here. only. have the ladies learned to be prompt in settling omnibus fares and in getting in aud out of the coaches. Young and old, they all seem to move as briskly in such matters as the men. Nausht else illustrates the influence upon the popuiar mind of the city, of the adage that +-iime is money" more signally than the fact that the ladies’ else- where almost universal habit of detaining otmni- buses longer than is necessary is not known here Even aged, feeble and timid ones seeth to reahize that the time and tide of Broadway onmibuses chp wait an instant for no one. One must course in and around New York to com prebend the immense advantages of horse roads running between different quarters of the capital. 1 know pot how many such conveniences there are in the cityand Brooklyn ; but | do know that, turn which way one will in the streets where they are constructed, and cars under headway crossing or meeting each other seem always in sight. Their comparative comfort (to the passen- ger) is instantly realized on vetting into one after an omnibus ride. I have as yet seen no inconve- nience or injury whatever arising from them to any interest. Half a dozen lines appear to diverge from Fulton Ferry in Brooklyn, at which some three or four cars seem to arrive and depart every minute upon the two lines of rails only, laid down there. There is neither confusion nor bustle in their management ; but all goes on as smoothly and quietly as thoagh a railroad never existed there. The travel upon these railroads increases very rapidly; thus proving that the public is hourly availing itself more and more of the facili- ties they afford. Here, as in Washington city, when any set of business men propose to construct a horse railroad where needed, other sets immedi- ately oppose them, in the hope of getting the char- ter themselves. All conceivable expedients are resorted to here, as there, by those rival interests, each to clatch the prize; which, in befogging the public and bewildering the Legislature, result in delays injurions to the general public Interests The good folks of the District had a specimen of the workings of such rivalries last winter, when Congress was asked to churter a Pennsylvania- avenue Railroad Company. It was mtoraily im- possible that everybody could have a finger in the pie. Yet hundreds contended that it should be the property of the public; while perbapeas many more opposed the proposition because they pre- ferred to have it become the property of others than the original applicants. The upsbot was, that Congress adjourned, leaving the city without the so necessary improvement. Here things are managed differently. Captious or selfish opposi- tion has httle weight with those authorized to charter such companies. and the insane plan of com peiling a city railroad company to bnild their work ond run it in localities where it cannot pos- sibly pay for the time being. ts not dreamed of; it being well understood that so soon as the actual necessities of any locality rejuire the construction or extension of such works, there will be numer- ous applications for the privilege of thus accom- modating the public. 1 have found none of them yet on which less than five cents fare is charged nor do Lever expect to tind any such, notwith- standing the protestations made last winter in Wasbington, that that prop: sod far: bit wen the Capitol and Georgetown was too high. The fdea of so restricting the proprietors of such works as that it is questionable whether they will realize aught but joss from their imyesupent, isa very mistaken one. If carried out, injury, rather than benefit, will result to the commanity. The public are not jealous of the prosperity of any enterprise that adds to its own convenience and comfort—the jealousy attributed to it in such cases being only that of envious speculators chagrined because others than themselves are profiting from sych works I have written this letter between five and six a. m., to enable me to devote the to sight-seeing.

There, for from fifteen to twenty-five cents one can get as good a breakfast, dinner, or er, as isto be had in any hotel inthe country for half'a dollar! “These'saloons are very numer. ous, the lower part of the city, At those patronized by persons of scanty means. the cbarge usually is—for coffe or tea, three cerits per cup; for hot rolls, muffins. toast, or cakes, six cents; for beef, pork, or mutton steak or chop, or for a plate of fish of any description, six cents. No better provisions or better plain cooking is to be enjoyed in America than In these same cheap Aining-saloons. The charges for dinner are not higher than for breakfast. In many of them two or three thousand meals are thus furnished per diem. They are more than a great convenience to the laboring population of New York: for they are a great blessing. It is rare to see liquor, or even ale or lager, copsumed in them. Single men of more means patronize other such establishments almost exclusively, where the prices charged are about double those mentioned above. My own opinion is that the six-penny houses are much the ‘best In all respects. Ww. D.
