STATISTICS OF 1851; SHIF BUILDING, reeable NUMBER AND DESCRIPI‘ON OF VESSELS LAUNCRED: DURING THE PAST Yar, AND NOW CONSTRUCT~ ING IN THE NEW YORK cHIP YARDS. Below will be found a statement of the number: of vessels completed in the New York ship yards during the past year, and also those nowon the stocks. "can do It will be seen that the number laungivd th “"” °* year exceeds by seventeen that of 1850, and that the vessels on the stocks at the close of 1850 exceed by seven those on the stocks now. The tonnage of the vessels completed in 1951, and building at the close of that year, shows a falling off of 7,558 tons, as compared with 1850. The business doing at the various yards, although not £0 large as at the close of 1850, is protty active, it having now quietly settled down into its regular and legitimate channel, from which it was tempo- rarily turned by the active demand for vessels for the California market. i The demand for clipper ships is still large, in proportion to thenuwber built. Many most splen- did additions to the American clipper fleet left this port during the past year for San Franciseo and other ports; and a great many, equally “magnifi- cent, now on the Stocks, will shortly follow in their wake. The proportion of steam vessels to sailing vesiels is also large, there being fifty of the former to fifty. five of the latter. There is no doubt this propor’ tionate number of steamers will be still greater increased as the land facilities for conveying prssen. gers and goods on the various routes to California, across Central America, become further developed, The firet builder on our list is JACO WELL, STANTON STREET, Launched. ‘ Feb. 3--Steamship Marion, 1,0¢0 tons burthen, 200. » feet long, 31 wide, 21 deep.
