CuesrsR, Pa., Dec. 21, 1871, Progreasiig favorably toward completion at the yard of the Delaware River Iron Shipbuilding and Engine Works m this town is the hull of large screw steamship, designed tor Messrs, O. H. Maliory & Oo., the enterprising shipping frm of New York, &nd intended for tne trade trom that port to Gaives ‘on, Texas. Tne construction of this propeller, ‘which, in strength, workmanship, model, finish and Cargo carrying capacity, will not be excelled by any ‘vessel of her class and tonnage afloat, again draws the attention of the public to : THIS BRANCH OF INDUSTRY, and is additional evidence toat the artisans of this country can oulld iron steamships and build them yewarkably well, Many opstacies have been thrown in the way of the proper development of this inverest in the United States, and really these nave seemed tobe of such an insurmountable nature that but very few of the leading spirita in mercantile com- ‘munities have had the vemerity to hope for a change dor the better and the time when our flag should again Moat over a fleet of home built ocean steamships. (Yet this era of prosperity may not be so far distant a8 supposed; but Lo elect it many concessions must be made to the shipbuilaers throughout the country ‘by Our national legislators, and a thousand and one jstumbling blocks now m their way, preventing suc- cessful competition with foreign baiiders MUST BE REMOVED. A few leading firms, such as the one for which this steamship was ordered, have done much to keep this branch oof shipbuilding and naval ‘architecture alive; but it ts safe to say that, in the absence of their public spirit, tho industry to-day would be utterly prosirated. To Cemonstrate the yreat depression in this character of marine work and the adverse influences arising trom te system pursued by the government in this respect, doubilng the cost of materials and adding @ third to the amount paid for the labor necessary to produce them, 1t1s only necessary to visit such an estaplisnment as the Delaware River Iron Ship. building and Engine Works in this town of an- tiquity and contrast the work of to-day with that of yeara gone by. formerly they had 4 80ORK OF CONTRACTS ‘on hand, embracing tne building of iron steamers, the construction o! marine engines and bowers and. the various work incidental thereto; wut there came @ partial stillness over the vast concern, and the pride of tudustrial Chester was aimost compelled to close its doors, Since then, how- ‘ever, other men wave taken charge of the busi- ness, and, despite the inactivity of Congress in fur. nishing that aid necessary to its succeasiul prosecu- ton, have effected a reorg anigation that looks very hopeful for the tuture.

NAVY REFORM, UniTED QgATES RECEIVING SHIP Vaamcprts) Navy YARD, BROOKLYN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:— Since the publication of a previous article with tnis caption in your valuabie paper, making public announcement of the fact that a movement was on foot having for its object the amelioration of the condition of seamen, numberless inquiries have been instituted by parties interested in the welfare of seamen generally as tothe ways and means by which thig. much-desirea event can be accom. plished. A reply to these inquiries and the pur- pose of elaborating my views as to the modus operandt of procedure whereby wo may hope to obtain final success, are the objects of this aruicie. It has been asserted by one—I know not whom— that “sailors are queer fish.” This ts douvtiess true; but does it necessarily follow that therefore they are outcasts? Assuredly not. On the contrary their snaceptibilities are keen, 1f unpolished, and, though rough and uncultivated they may oltentimes be found, they are nevertheless in many respects nature's true noblemen. Governed by wise and beneficent laws, whicn they are not slow in signi- | fying their appreciation of, they are docile, tract- able and happy. Take irom them these safeguards to their happiness, substituting others in their stead, the result of a tess wise legislation and which they are none the less slow in distinguishing py their practical working, they then become disaffected and dispirited, evinciag no interest in the performance tions of the Gold Excnange Bank were as {ollows:— Gold cleared. 342,134,000 Gold balances: bas ett Currency balances. e+ 1,604,232 GOVERNMENTS LOWER, The government list was depressed by the lower ruling of gold and by the stringency in the money Market.

STOCKS DULL AND REGULAR. The stock market was buoyant and strong early in | the day on the nonce of tue Secretary of the | Treasury calling in another $20,000,0v0 of the five- of their duties other than can be expected of an | automaton, until an opportunity presenta itself to rid | them of their thraldom. That the existing laws governing the navy and mercantile marine of our country are susceptible of much improvement, 80 far a8 ihe protection ac- corded by them to seamen 18 concerned, cannot be denied. By reason of the present law the navy Da: Gugenerated to a state of tnefiiciency fearful to con. tempiate should it become necessary to arm for a conflict. with a 1oreign Power. The men at present engaged in Ita service are, in consequence of the entire absence of anything like system in the admin- istration of its affairs, fast becoming, instead of amelioraved, demoralized. How can this state of things be improved, as well for the men of the navy as for those of our merchant ships, in whtch latter, | more particularly, men are “shanghaed” dally by the unprincipled harptes and soul and vody roying scoundrels on shore. Answer:—Let Congress, during the + session, pass such laws as will tually prevent @ continuance of tose evils, Let the Navy Department, so lar as the navy 1s concerned, by these laws and by its orders, hold to @ stricter accountability than ai present all heads of departments and other officers charged With the administration of its duties on shore as at sea. Let such other wise laws be enacted, with reference to the merchant marine of our country, as will cover seamen engaged in its service with tne fegis of a beneficent provectiou. Then, and not till then, can we have any possible reason to hope that the condition of scamen, a3 @ class, can ve in a fair way of becoming ameliorated. A few of the clauses having a wise and beneticent tendency, aud which will be Lnserted in the memorial which it 18 intended shalt be laid before Congress during the present session by seamen generally, are as follows:— Firet—To make {t a State's Prison offence to shanghae any sailor or any person for either the naval or merchant service, le ‘and that it be made a serious offence for any sea captain to receive a man on board his abip who has been shane, cctve his moni after two mouths’ all we be- Some duc hitantwo onthe pay siways (o"be Kept, on the Pr aster’s books, but to draw Interest in id at the same erninent pays its other creditors, rat he be allowed to leave ail of his pay on the books, as he is now compelled to do, but to draw above.

Tiese, then, will be a few of tne changes in the law which We, a3 seamen, will sne for ot the hands of Congress during. the present session. May we not reasonably hope that our re- quest will be nied, and, if so, that it will prove to be the harbinger of advancement toward ame- noration of a most worthy and down-trodden class?
