At pier No. 9 Bast river there is now lying a veasel called the Irom Age, which, in view of the interest- ing agitation prevailing as to the deciine and pro- spective disappearance of American shipbutiding, deserves especial notice. The facts brought out before the Congressional Cowmitice receally in ses- sion at the Custom Honse reveaied the startilag con- clusion that our marine Was Silently and rapidly pass- ing into the hands of foreigners; that our shipyards were being deserted and our ability to cope with England in the construction of wooden or iron ves- sels shown to bea failure. It Is, therefore, with no small enuiment of and satisfaction that atten- tien ts called to this vessel, the Iron Age. She was constructed at Wilmington, Del., by the Marian & Molingsworth Company for Messrs. Tupper & Beattic, shipping merchants of this city, and i 156 feet over ail, 1 feet 9 Inches In depth and 18 feet 6 Inches. She was aunched from the Wii dock yard iast Ly mye and her Orst trip was from that locality to abn & voyage wi sue most successfully peri le During the she encountered very heavy rales, and mitt at times surrounded by man.

Tae COOPER UNION FALE LEcttl Se Inargural Lecture by Professor Piympton— Remarks by Mr. Hewitt, the Secretary. Last evening the ensuing course of free lectures at the Cooper Institute was opened by an inaugural address from Professor William G. Plympton. The venerable Mr. Cooper, accompanied by the trustees, took his seat on the platiorm, aud was loudly cheered by the audience, which, however, was not very numerous. Mr. Hewitt, the secretary, stepped forward and said that he desired to make a few remarks, for Lie purpose of removing of a very erroneous Lnpression, before Proiessor P.ympton twok his place at the rostrum, That techuical edaca- tion was heeded by the working classes Was miost trne, but much nonsense was talked and wore was wrilien on the subject, it Was uadenial that the workingmaa would be improved by a scwutiiec knowledge of the principles cuibraced by his wou, but it was dificult to get him to arn. le could not goto school again, All that was possivie was to give Lim a taste for the sciontilie side of his daily toil. That was dove in the Cooper Unton; and he would frecly assert that nowhere on the face of the giobe was this done more fully, more ireely, more ne.) broadiy than in the Cooper Union, It waa plain from tho number of that such a taste and desire was not in the community; it had to be created. Yet he was greatly encouraged by the fact teat there Was aa andienco at ail; for up to that time they haa never dared to give a course of lectures on Mechanical Philosophy, Which Was to be inaugurated that even- ing. in order to give additional interest a museum of models had beea provided through an additional Traut of money from the founder, (Applause) The fasutute brought by its lectures Lae Workingman up to a point where he could appreciate the reai traia- Ing ground, the scientide journals aud ry mr o the day. kven tne daily journais, illed as they were With subjects and news irom every part of the Word, evon they never rejected scientuide miormativn, ‘The language of the workshop was diferent from that of science.

A Drover Boy Becoming a Millionnaire— Rugged Acclivity to Weaith—Keeping the Old Ball's Head Cattle Yard and Tavern on the Bowery—Steamboat and Rail- road Operations—Career of a Banker and Broker—Magnificent Charities—His Personal Life. Up the precipitous and perilous pathway to for tune; up through long and painful years of poverty, up early and up late, with strong and manly heart fighting a prolonged, earnest battle with priva- tion and want, up through a severely trying ordeal of early struggles, Daniel Drew has pushed his way to his present position—a position bringing with 10 an accumulation of wealth rarely attained by any man im a lifetime, and a universality of respect and fuiness of honors and extended area of influence still less rarely given to any one man to enjoy while living. He has pushé@ his way on with a boldneas of purpose and brilliancy of success challenging universal Wonder and adiniration—wonder for the stupendous fortune he has acquired, aud admiration forthe genius and power that have enabled him alone and single-handed to achieve such splendid victory over the strongly combative elements of per- verse fate, His was the quick eye, the cool head, the prompt hand and indomtiable perseverance that bring success. His has been a success, however, beyond mere money making—a success ennobled by @ higher purpose than grasping greed of gain—a success giving glorious immortality to his maine on the Hudson river, s0 famous now for his great steamboat enterprises and Magnificent steamboats. Years hence his name will become a dim legend of memory, and his great Erie Railroad controversy a reminiscence of the shadowy past. Not so his nobie deeds of charity. ‘Their posthumous influence will extend through all time, Their laurels will freshen tn eternal bloom His life has beon diversined, but in every variety of business—as the young and striving and poor drover boy, as the great steamboat and railroad owner and director and as the miilionnaire banker—he has always shown the same: good quality of going ahoad, the same unyielding perseverance, and the same unbending integrity. 118 BIRTHPLACE AND CHILDHOOD, Daniel Drew was born at Carmel, Putnam county, this Stace, July 29, 1797. His father and motuer wero also born there, the former betng of English and the latter of Scotch descent. His father died when ho was fifteen years old, but his mother ilved to the advanced age of eighty-five. Like many men hav- tog Accomplished great achtevements in commerce or ia Onauce, ia statesmansmp or im the world of letters or science, ne attributes the result of his suc- cess in life mainly to the wise teachings of his mother, On the siail farm of his father he was carly trained to habits of industry and frugality. There 18 nothing remarkable connected with his eariy chiidhood days. He showed a willing obedience to Make binself as erviceable as possible on tne farm, There was only one other child, a younger brother, who ‘s now living at @ =old ~~ -home- but with an addition of several hun- dred acres e@ontriputed since then by the more fortunate older brother, a larger farmhouse and more numerous herus of cattle grazing upon its more extended hilisides aud valleys. Following after the fasuion, or ratuer necessity, of poor farm- ers’ sons m those days, the subject of our sketch en- yed very limited opportunities of education, Atter was nine years of he only went to school Winters, and subsequent to his father’s death hai no further advanta; of school education, His father’s death left his mother comparatively poor. ‘The farm was small, and he early determined to take care of himself and thus relleve his motuer of the burden of his support.

She tried hard at trst to dissuade him, but he insisted that thero were threo good reasons for ing—first, thatit was a duty he owed to his coun- ‘y; wecond, that he owed if tu himscif torree ner from the burden of his support, and third, that this would furnish him with capital with which after the expiration of his term of service—if he was lucky enough to get through all right—to commence business on his own account. ‘Seeing lus firmness, more than being jafuencea by the cogency of his argumenta, fhe at length yielded @ reluctant consent.

Its fulfilment was not immediate, by any means, but rather the result of years of experionce, He worked hard in those years. Having beea aceustomed from culidiood to the care of cattle, he soon became an adept in their No one could detect the good points of good cattle better than himself, and no oue was more shrewd ia detecting objectionable quall- tes.

OPENS & CATE ‘AnD. Retiring from his cate wa and selling My, Drew did not al r¥tire from the cattle bus eds. The cattle yard of the city had been om the present site of the old Bo’ theatre. lie had it Temoved to the corner of T avenue and Twenty. fourth street, and hence the narae of BUI attaching to this locatity. At this time this portion of the city, though not exactly in th der. ness, was well out of town; in fact qui th His cattle g to the _ there was, when sive wheat ficid. In fact, the country all aroun’ was decidedly rural, In connection with the cattle yard, and which was an important feature of the ousi- hess, was the public house on the corner, whieh he rook and to which waa given the name “iull's Head Tavern.” Under hia management tts Was for years the Drovers’ Exchange of the city. The same building, made memorable by being long his headquarters, 14 sttil standing, but with surroundings vastly different from the 08 to which we have referred. It would be pleasant to tarry @ while at this old hosteiry to picture to the imagination Mr. Drew as the genial aud benignant boniface, dispeusing bis hospitalities to nis nume- rous patrous; to hear them talk over thelr divers# experiences 4s on long wiater evenings they sat around the cheerful fire in tie spactous barrooin, or 83 on pleasant summer days they sat under the wide-spreading porch, Mr. Drew remained here nine years, His twenty years of experieuce im the cattle trade, lia close attention to business and his frugality, enubied him to retire from tt will a very handsome fortune, Of course & wan of lis active temperament could not long rematn idle. HIS STEAMBOAT ENTERPRISES. In 1826 Mr. Drew began his steamboat enterprises, Always living near the Hudson river aud apprect- ating the extent of travel and freight on tls novie river, he saw the maguificent opening here for bis spirit of daring enterprise—the opentug as he ciearly saw to making mouey wore rapidly than tn dealing in cattie, however largely or sagaciously the busi- ness might be conducted. He seized the ypportunity. He saw that Commodore Vanderbilt was carrying everythin, before him. He determined if he = coul not drive the great steamboat klong from the fleld that at least ue would divide the honors and emoluments with him, He com- menced with the steamers Westchester and Eme- rald, rumuing tiem irom New York to Albany, Mr. Vanderbilt was then charging turee doliars iare to Albany and corresponding pricey for treight. Mr. Drew atonce pul (he fare down to oue dollar and mie a like reduction in freight. “You will soon faiiin this business,” said Com- modore Vanderbilt to him, “What makes you think so?’ asked Mr. Drew. “Because you don’t uuderstand tie business,” answered the Commodore. “We will see about that,” added Mr. Dr He did not go into the business with reck’ hardiness, He commenced caucious! feeling his way. He calculated evel He made no mistakes, He Kept adding, as business increased, new steamers to his line, He built the Knickerbocker; he bouht the Oregon Gcorge Law had built for himself, and added her to che line. Soon he laa also running the isaac Newton and then the New World, ‘These were large and magnificent steamers in their time. They were largely patron- ized by the travelling public and they were crowded With freight, ‘The revenue trom the steamboats was enormous. He broke down all opposition—ne com- pelied Commodore Vauderdiit to compromise. “Do you think I understand the steamboat busi- ness*"’ he said about this tine to tae Commodore, “I don’t think anything about it, | kuow you do," answered the Commodore, bluntiy, ‘The Commodore aud Mr. Drew were now, however, sworn iriends. Tiey worked chet steamboat enter- prises in harmony and they have acted ta harmony ever since. After sour years’ steamboating on the river he became associated with Isaac Newton as 283 foo!- Ke went oa step he took. pariner, The line was then cailed “The People's Line,’’ the name by wh it Is atill know: More than’ fifty steamboats have been placed ou Uie river in opposition to it, but tiey have ail had to succumb to the superior management and success of this line, {n 1852 the fiudsou Kiver Ratiroad commenced run- ning. It was thougot that this would utterly de- molish the stcamboat business, “Your steamboats will have to go under,” sald Mr. Boorman, President of the road, to hun, “What makes you think so?’ asked Mr. Drew, very quieily. “You carry your passengers for too low fare.”" “What do you want i shouid do?” “Raise your fare to the same as We are clarging on the road.’? “You can regulate your railroad fares as you choose,” said Mr. Drew. “The only way you can regulate my steamboat faresis to buy the People's Line, and this I don’t believe you have got money enough to do," The steamboats remained on the river, the fares were kept at their provious low figures, and instead of golng under the business continued prosper- ous, ‘Those magnificent steamers, the St. Joha, Dean Richmona and Drew—those sumptuous tloat- ing palaces, for extent and splendor of appomt- ments unsurpassed py any steamboats in the world—were added to the line. He met with two disasters—the buraing of the Isaac Newton and the sinking of the New World, There was no insurance on either of them, and the result was heayy losses. The New World, as will be remembered, was suc- cessfully raised and pat on the river again. Le lost altogether $300,000 from these disasters. The passengers and owners of freight were paid every farthing of their losses, ‘ihcre was not a law suit or even a singie arbitration in the case. The operations of Mr. Drew on the Hudson river do not comprise the full extent of his. steam- boat enterprise. He also bought out the Stonington Mune of steamers, which line he ran for twenty-two yeara, deriving therefrom a@ haudsome fortune, A third additional fine of steamers he stationed on Lake Champlain, which also patd him handsomely. Altogether his steamboat enterprises tell the story, hot only of Mr. Deow?a ancenag Dut of nig 1 wonted shrewd sagacity a8 conductor of iarge bu ness operations, One thing that bas contribut largely, no doubt, to his success is his keen judg- ment in selecting proper co-operaters and asststants. He knows well the value of a good man, and is en- dowed not only with the requisite judgment but the liberalily to pay a good man whgt he 1s worth. WALL STREET BAN AXD DROKER. Mr. Drew's ae capa for business did not exhaust itself in his varied steymboat enterprises. 1n 1844 he entered Wall street ashanker dnd broker, ‘The firm was Drew, Robinson andCo. They did an immense business. Their credit was unbounded, Phrough ali the wild and storm! financial fuctua- tions of our great _moncy martihe house stood as firm as granite. Mr. Drew, as awall steret tlnan- cier, early showed a ‘marvdious shrewduess of ‘foresight. He was a rid, bold and succesful operator. At one jmé he guaran- teed the paper of the Erie Riliroad Company for $1,500,0u0, Which showed the magnitude of lis transactions. Alterwards, a3 trejsurer of the Erie Ratlroad, bis own paper for $1,50,000, endorsed by Commodore Vanderbilt, saved the road from bank- ‘This Was in 1857—a perod of most exten- nd sweeping commercial disaster. During this eventful epoch, thougii is losies were 1minense, he never flinched, but met bis paper prompuy, “Can you sieep in these stormy times?’ a gentle. man asked him. “sleep like atop,’ he quietly atswered. “In all my heavy operations | have not los. u wink of sleep, and I don’t mean to.” In connection with Mr. Vandorbié he relieved the Harlem Railroad of a floating dely of $500,000, and helped to place {t in its preseatprosperous condt- tion. Of all the large operationaia which the firm engaged only ove turned out tobe a ake, aud this Grose irom a loan mace comiary to Mr. Drew's advice, While otners have trembled at ing im- sibilities his extraordinary neve has carried him through steadily and safely, Iis63, wishing to abridge bts labors, he gave up his Msnking business: to his son-in-law, Mr. Kelley, but the jntter dying shortly afterwards compelled him to resume tue business again, which he kept up actively until bis retirement two years ago, RAILROAD OPERATIONS. Mr. Drew was connected with the Erie Raliroad fourteen years. He began his coansction as one of the directors in 1853, and subsequently became, as is well Known, the treasurer, which position be held until hig resignation. It 18 unnecessary to go through. the ups aad Gowns of this road during these years, ‘The culating point was the serica of legal con- troversies ia tue courts, and one of thea two years ago. The memory of that exciting timets still fresh fa the pubiic mind, with the charges of malfeasance and swindling and countercharges, the amidayvits and counter aiidayits, the injunctions and counter injunctions issued by judges aciag counter to cach other, the change of base to Nev Jersey and the rowings ta the midnight fog.

Aside from tls road he hag only been interesied in the Hariem Ratlroad, whic a3 We have stated above, he materially assisted placing on a sound financial basis, MIS CHARITIES, If Mr. Drew has been successful in making money through endowment of those high qualities needed in great financial eaterprises he hus also shown the highest atirioutes of a large and noble philanthropy. Pew men bave given so largely to benevolent objects. Passlug over the lengthy catalogue of lis private char. ites we will speak only of his padtic benefactions, His voat charity 14 the Theological School at Madison, Hee it ta beauitiuliy Pituated, twonty-stx miles from New York, on the Morris and ssex Railroad, Hiaving bought here 230 acres of land he deeded 100 acres of itforthe school.
