b SHIPBUILDING. A General Revival and Cheering Prospects for the Future in Boston, at Chester and Wil- mington—Merchant Vessels, Revenue Cutters, Coasters, Sloops of War and Ferryboats on the Stocks. Boston, Oct. 27, 1873, Gero in Boston, as well as in other localities ‘where American shipbuilding was formerly active, ‘there is just now a spasm of revival. Following the middle and winding up of the war there wasa@ lull in the business, and until within a few months it seemed as if the old yards and ship-houses would never again be the scenes of thrift and industry that they were a few short years ago. In fact, very Many of the old builders had begun to dispair, and were looking around for other means to gain a living, and the mechanics had generally applied themselves to other pur- suits. In many of the yards grass was growing luxuriantly and undisturbed, the build- ings were tumbling and rotten, and the prospects of & revival during the present generation were anything but promising. In the ship timber coun- try, too, there followed the same dulness and apathy, in accordance with the usual laws of where there are no demands there is no use of getting out supplies. Everything, in fact, pertaining to shipbuilding seemed destined for a death from which there was no_ resurrection, ‘and the buiiders and artisans accepted the appar- ent situation with as much grace as was possible under the gloomy circumstances. The causes of this decline in such an important branch of industry were numerous and varied. The war was not the least responsible, for besides requiring vast resources of wealth to carry it on, it also drained heavily upon the mechanics and other representatives of the “bone and sinew” of the country, and there was also a general demoralization in all branches of trade and indus- try. There were too many Alabamas afloat to encourage commerce, and besides there being a0 demand for additional vessels there was scarcely business enough for those already in existence. Again, everything that entered into shipbuilding wes scarce and high, and if any new ves- seis were really needed it was cheaper to have them built in the British Provinces than in the United States. This was as true for several years after the war asit was during the progress of the rebellion. Within the last twelve months, however, there has been a perceptible and GRATIFYING REVIVAL of the shipbuilding interests in and around Boston. The resumption of the business, however, although bona fide and actual, does not indicate that there is a very positive revival of commercial marine in- teresta in general. The old shipowners, traders and capitalists—those who a dozen or fifteen years ago kept the New England yards in- dustriously employed—are not in any sense respon sible for the present impetus which has been given tothe shipbuilding interests. ‘The mechanics and Jaborers are the men who have caused the resump- tion of work in nearly all the Kast Boston yards, and thus far their enterprises have justified their co-operative labors. Mr. Abial Gove, a practical builder himseif, and one of the oldest in this vicin- ity, was very much amused when [ asked him about the revival of the shipbuilding trade in New England, “Revival!” he exclaimed. ‘Why, there is no real revival. To be sure, the business has picked up a little during the past year, but you don’t find any of the old capitalists putting out adollar. A few of us East Boston mechanics have got together and are building a few vessels. We had to do it or starve, and so far we have got along very well.” “You are doing considerable business in your ward?” Isaid inquiringly. “Oh, yes; I have made things as lively as I could. Within the last ten months I have built, on an average, one vesse! ‘a month, sume of them 500 and some 700 tons, a sort of a mosquito fleet. I keep three agoing all the while and mean to havea launch every four or five weeks.” “Do you build them by contract or for a general market?’ I asked. “It is this way :—a few of us get together and put in our money, and keey working as jong as the money lusts. A carpenter takes a sixteenth in- terest, and then a spar maker, a blacksmith, a timber man, and so on. We all take a few shares according to our means, and get our pay out of the earmmgs. We commenced this sort of business three years ago, and oR to now we have launched twenty vessels, and will probably launch four more during the fall.” “What do you do with them after they are fin- ished—sell them to parties engaged in the shipping business!” “Sell them! No. We haven’t sold a single one out of the whole twenty. We put them chiefly into the coasting service and divide the earnings. Two of the largest we have put into the foreign ‘@rage, between New York and Buenos Ayres. ‘These, as well as the coasters, pay us from seven- teen to twenty per cent, and nearly all the profits derived are turned right into the business and we are constantly increasing and enlarging our facili- ties. All that I have made for the last two years I have put into the business and $17,000 besides.”’ “Is the business at the other yards carried on in this way?’ I asked. “Yes, generally,” Mr. Gove replied, ‘‘and it will arn continue 89 fora year or more, and then itis likely some 0” the wealthy shipowners wili commence build’ng large ocean vessels for foreign trade. Then, and not until then, shall I consider ll Sacre. %3 any real revival in the shipbuilding A¥Se“npson’s yard, in the immediate vicinity of Ge,vo's, work has recently been resumed for the frst time in ten years. There is only one ves- Selon the stocks—a small coaster of 500 tons—and Me is being built on the same co-operative plan as jat pre ata descrived, Campbell & Brooks, on Border street, are about the only builders in East Boston who continued business during and since the war. ‘They have now got six large merchant vessels prety well along, and all oi them are contracted for by Boston merchants. Besides these, they have one large “~ of 1,600 tons almost ready for the lower deck, and they are also building the hull ofa new revenue cutter, contracted for with the Atlantic works, A smalt barkentine, to be owned by Captain Alfred Eldridge and the builders, will be launched from = yard during the present week, and another of 50 tons is under Way for Captain Caleb Nickerson, of New York. A three-masted schooner of 700 tons, for Killam & Loud, is nearly ready for launching, and thé frames are being prepared for three other similar vessels. Messrs. Campbell & Brooks are probably the most extensive builders in the coun- try. Besides doing a large amount of repairing, they have built no leas than sixty sail of vessel since 1865. They are very hopeful of the business in the future, and, unlike Mr. Gove, believe that the seeming revival is actual. The money panic has had but slight effect upon them, and this is Toate Lf nearly all the builders in and around AT SMITH & TOWNSEND'S YARD there are also evidences of business and industry which have not been witnessed before for man 5 Mr. Townsend iniormed me that until about a year ago he had almost decided to give up @he business altogether. The decline he attributes we Auch cal ses asthe war, high price of labor and :material, and an effort on the part of England to vertppie (as jar as possible everything in the line of American fol ada Amon; the ‘latest vessels from this yar is the Magellan, which was launched with all the “pomp and splendor of circumstance” Sat- urday afternoon. She 1s of 1,025 tons burden, coat $90,000 and was built tor Hemingway « Co., o} Boston, to be run between this port and Valpa- raiso, The keel is also laid for a vessel of 1,500 tons, and ina few days work will be commenced on cue of 1,600 tons. The hull of a new revenue cutter ‘s also being built at this yard. Mr, Towns- vod whet the demand for vessels now ts larger than can be sXpplied, and, taken altogether, the duture prospeets of the business are very cheering. BUSINESS AT THR ATLANTIC WORKS. ‘The Atlantic Works, located on the water front of Borden street, only a moment’s walk up from the North Ferry, are rejoicing in a healthy reyival of business of all descriptions. The company, while it takes contracts for steamers of ali classes, doea not undertake to build. the hulls, but ves out such work to those who make a eee eee chen 1B Beat Boston. At the present time the full capacity of the extensive establishment is juired to keep up with the demands made upon it for marine and other machinery. In fact, not since the war has business been so lively and promising as now, nd the managers of the company anticipate even a further stimulus during the immediate ruture. “The mercantile community are just beginning tocome to themselves again,” the agent of the company remarked, ‘and when this little fnancal tever is passed we shall have 4 return of the good old days of a dozen or fliteen years ago.” TWO NEW REVENUE CUTTERS, Within a tew weeks the company has completed with the Bureau of Revenue Marine a contract tor acouple of first class revenue cutters, and work upon them has already been commenced. One of them is to have the modern style of compound en- gines, and the other will be equipped with a high pressure condensing engine, bovh of whtch will, of course, be built at the works here. The 2 of the first-named engine is many features, The company has NEW YORK HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1873.-TRIPLE SHEET, - aso compieted contracts for furnishing the machinery for a couple of sloops-of-war for the vernment, and the hull of one of them is to be uilt here 1m East Boston by Donald McKay, who for the last few years has done little or nothing in the shipbuilding line. The hull of the other 1s being built at a ship yard in Kittery, Maine. The fre to be supplied with compound engines, wit high and low pressure cylinders, respectively of $4, ana 61 inches in diameter, with 42 inch stroke of piston. They are to be first class in every de- tail, ana will be supplied with all the modern ap- pliances of naval vessels. ‘There has just been completed at the works a new {erryboat for the city of Boston, to be put on the line between East Boston and the city proper, and her trial trip will take place in a few days, on which occasion the members of the Saniolpss gov- ernment will probably indulge in @ little bit of a blow-out. Her length of hull ts 148 feet and width 83 feet, with a depth of hold of 12 :eet 3 inches. She 4s to be called the Winthrop, and, in general style and appearance, will be the same as the Ben Franklin and the other ferryboats plying between East Boston and the city. Even Nova Scotia, where labor and material are notoriously cheap, comes to Boston occasionally for her steamboats. A tugboat, just completed at the Atlantic Works for Lawson, Harrington & Co., of Halitax, was sent to her destination a few days ago, and her owners write back that she is the “crack boat" of Halilax harbor, AN EXPERIMENTAL TUGBOAT. The managers of the same works nave now nearly completed @ modern tugooat, supplied with boilers and machinery which they think is destined to create a revolution in the whole steamboat business, The motive power is supplied trom @ binary engine, with two cylinders similar to f, Soppaund engine, placed vertically over each other. The steam is used first in the upper or smaller cylinder (which 1s 13 by 18 inches), the same as i8 usual in high pressure en- gines; but the exhaust steam, which is commonly wasted, is made to serve as fuel in another botier containing bi-sulphide of carbon, which evaporates at a temperature of 112 degrees, ‘This latent heat in the exhaust steam will be sum™- client to create a pressure of sixty-nine pounds in the second boiler and the steam entirely condensed in the operation and returned again to the original boiler, The vapor of the bi-sulphide of carbon is then applied to the second or larger cylinder (18x18 inches), and pro- duces @ power tully Gon to that obtained in the first instance. fhe engines work in unison ana are both operated by a single reverse lever and controlled py one throttle valve lever, ‘The exhaust steam of the bi-sulphide of carbon cylinder is condensed in @ single condenser and returned to the vapor boiler, thus completing the circuit. The builders expect that this boat will be jully equal to a high pressure tugboat with a cylinder of 20x20 inches; also that she will consume Jess than one-half of the fuel, as the second cylinder will utilize for fuel the ex- haust steam usually wasted in the open air. The hull ts 83 feet long over all, the beam 17 feet, with a depth of hold of 7 feet 9 inches, Her model 1sex- ceedingly fine, and in all her departments there is @ degree ef elegance seldom found in an ordinary tugboat. She will be con pla iee. in about a fort- night, and her builders anticipate that she will be the swiftest and most powerful tugboat in America. A stationary engine, converted with the works, is operated by boilers similar to those describe and the saving in fuel is fully sixty percent. If the system works well on steamboats the idea of a revclution in the business is reasonable. EFFECTS OF THE YELLOW FEVER ON BUSINESS. Itis not Ben orally known, but it ts nevertheless a fact, that the fearful ravages of the yellow fever in some sections of the South have had a disastrous e!- fect upon various branches of New England indas- try. The Atlantic Works, particularly, have suf- féred from the epidemic. Two months ago they had orders for half a, dozen large cotton presses from as many different men in and around Mem- phis, and one by one all of them have fallen vic- tims to the termble scourge. The son of one them Will continue the business, and work upon the press ordered by his father has been com- menced. The machine isa most ponderous and powerful one. Its tOtal weight is not less than ont tons, and it reduces an ordinary 500 pound bale of cotton down to a package ol about seven lnches in thickness. By this reduction in bulk transportation is facilitated and cheapened. Prospects at Chester, Pa., and Wilming-- ten, Del. WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 27, 1873. The means of access to the ship yards of Chester, Pa., and Wilmington, Del., are the same. The former is reached from Philadelphia by a journey of forty minutes, the latter by a ride of an hour anda half, The two localities are in no respects the same, but on the contrary present very sur- prising contrasts. At Chester you see a particular branch of American industry pursued to the ex- clusion of every other, and at Wilmington you be- hold this same branch in a great deal smaller Magnitude, because mingled and coniused by a hundred other various occupations. At one place you view @ company of men, banded together upon a basis slightly co-operative, for the sole pur. pose of building ships, and nothing else. At the other you behold a smaller body of men engaged not only in constructing ships, but also engines, boilers, water tanks, sugar mills, cars, wheels and axles. The workmen at one locality reside near their work and have provided for them cosey and comfortable homes, while the workmen at tne other are what are commonly denominated as skilled, and live in various sections of a great and prosperous city, The shipyards of the Harlan and Hollingsworth Company, of this city, while being the oldest in the United States, are by no means so large as those of the Delaware Ship Building Company at Chester, Pa. At Chester the river has a greatar breaath and depth than are indicated at this point, and hence is better adapted for the launching of great vessels, The Hollingsworth Company employ 1,000 men, and most of these have been identifled with the company for a great many years. The yards are exceedingly suggestive of industry and vitality, even in this dreary season, when the hand of labor in so many quarters is forced to lie at rest. As a detailed description of the differ- ent industrial processes involved in the construc- tion of a ship was given in a former communication it will be unnecessary to reproduce it here. The mould Tofts, boiler shops and joiners’ room at Chester and Wilmington are very much the same, while ribs are bent and sections formed in both places by similar methods and machinery. ‘The eye beholds before it the same pushing, tug- ging and hurrying everywhere, and the ear is greeted with the same rattling, clattering sound. This oman have been in existence for a long time, having been organized in 1845,and during the war constructed many vessels and gunboats for the government. Among the latter can be named the Sacaugus, Patapsco, which was sunk at Charleston, 8. C., and the Napa, now lying at League Island, all of which were of the monitor class and each of which did very effective service. Upon going down to the shore the following vessels were seen, either launched or on the stocks :— THE GENERAL WHITNEY, afine tron steamer for the Metropolitan Steam- ship Company, 225 feet long, 40 feet beam, with & capacity of 2,000 tons; a vessel calculated to make very fast time, double decked, and exceedingly well appointed. Next, a very large propeller for the Baltimore Steam Propeller Company, named Seaboard, which is 175 feet long, 28 feet beam and 11 feet deep. Next again, an immense iron steamer tor freight and passenger conveyance, named John Hopkins, built tor the Merchants and Miners’ line, which plies between Baltimore and Boston. The ship i8 240, feet long, 38 feet beam and 26 Jeet deep, having three distinct decks and a capacity of 2,200 tons, Attended by a gen- tleman whom the vice president of the company, Mr. Gouse, kindly appointed to conduct him around, the writer went on board of this steamer and examined all her various apartments. The machinery was wrought up in the most elaborate way, and, like all pieces of practical mechanism, was gracetul and symmetrical. The decks were broad and slightly curved, while internaily and ex- ternally she was all that a good ship ought to be. A little away from the Hopkins I saw a huge, un- shapely mass floating on the water, and I asked my escort what it was. He replied that it was THE GUNBOAT CANONICUS undergoing important repairs, ‘The fault of all our gunboats has been that they were unable to carry sufficient coal fora continued voyage, and hence had always to be accompanied by a tug which is generally denominated as a “feeder.” The repuirs now under way consist in raising jthe deck of the Canonicus to such an extent that she can carry 4 large quantity of coal and at the same time be as Roo! against shot and shell as ever before. When she is turned into service again she can dispense with the feeder altogether, and is suMiciently seaworthy to make voyages to any port in the world. She is an ugly craft, and the very sight of her ougnt to be enough to Pk the most valiant enemy to flight. In addition the work mentioned above, a new ferryboat 18 under way for the Camden and Phila- deiphia service, which is 150 feet long, 38 feet beam and 10 feet deep. Her model is exceedingly grace- ful, and she rides upon the water like a feather. The ferryboat ‘Philadelphia’, is also being thoroughly overhauled in the yard, and @ new boiler is making for the steamer Blackstone. One of the most interest- ing features of the yard isa large basin dry dock built over Simpson's patent, with a capacity of 340 feet in length, and a depth of fourteen feet of water, by means of which the largest vessels can be docked with the greatest ease and facility. OWING TO THE GENERAL DEPRESSION of business throughout the country the work is not progressing here as lively as usual, and in my con- versation with the Vice President of the company he injormed me that the progress of the business ‘was already considerably afected, Removed some distance from the Harlan ship- building yards are those of Pusey, Jones & Co., who rad under way two immense tron vessels for the omwell line, running between New York and New Orleans, These yards show no less distinctly than those already mentioned the sudden revival of an art almost lost, and augur well for the future success and permanenc® of the enterprise, «= Ad Ga Men Om le, above the shipbuilding yards of Chester are larger and busier than those of Wilmington, the jormer having nine ships on the stocks and the latter but two, The same objection can be made to Wilmington as to many other places—viz., that it is large city, and no one company can command enough space to carry the work into extended LPSO nae Ons. In my conversation with the ship builders here I found that they considered the sudden ion and present magnitude of the Chester yarda to be very remarkable, and made explanation as tollows:— e shipyards are removed from the city, and re not limited in respect to space, Their pro- jector, instead of simply considering the present, joo! thirty years ahead, and drew his linea accordingly. His workmen, by industry, can se- cure an interest in the business, and in the end Teally constitute the company. The Delaware forms a bay where the yards are located, 18 very deep and comparatively little re- moved from mines of iron and coal. ese, they said, were important circuinstances, withheld from large towns, which gave districts like the Chester peculiar advantages. MUSICAL REVIEW. eens Ditson & Co., New York and Boston, publish the following :— “St. Peter,” oratorio, John Knowles Paine, The chief of the disciples presents an excellent sub- Ject for musical treatment. Mr. Paine, a Boston organist, has essayed it. The groundwork on which he has built his tone structure is beyond the reach of cavil, being composed of extracts from the Bible, although it is Mosaic in pattern. These extracts are sufficient to inspire @ musician of oratorio attainments with ideas calculated to frame a work worthy to be placed among the im- perishable creations of men whose names are in everybody's mouth. Mr. Painc, not possessing these attainments, has dealt with the great Apostle in ® manner inexcusable, except on the score of incompetency, and even then reprehensible, as the iruit of ill-direeted ambition. Plagiarism, when skilfully used as a substitute for originality, occasionally commands respect; when bunglingly introduced, it breeds contempt, The latter is the feeling engendered by @ careful ex- amination of Mr, Paine’s work. The very opening chorus is a clumsy imitation at the commencement of the instrumental part of the ‘‘Melusine’ over- ture of Mendelssohn. The recitative, No. 2, “Now as Jesus walked,’ is wrongly accented ana the English language is perverted in the music. The unaccompanied chorus, in four parta, ‘Some say thouart John the Baptist,” is remarkable for the most glaring violations of the fundamental prin- ciples of harmony. Those great episodes in the lve of Peter, the denial and repentance, are taken bodily from Bach’s passion music. The instrumental lament in the same part of the work must be regarded as a similar theft. The contralto solo, “The Lord is faithful and righteous,” is an inexplicable puzzie, as there is neither rhythm nor meiody in it. The chorus which concludes this part is more remarkable for glaring mistakes in attempts at counterpoint than anything else. The opening of the second part, especially where the words ‘fle was cruci- fied” come in, seems to have been inspired by Mozart; for phrases from ‘Don Juan” are boldly introduced, The beginning of the chorus, “If ye, then, be risen,” has had a progenitor in the eerestille’’ of Beethoven. The chorus, ‘The voice of the Lord,” shows @ caretul study of “Sam$ son’? on the part of Mr. Paine. The familiar ditty of the “Three blind mice’ forms an instrumental groundwork for the aria “Ye men of Judea,” and “Samson” 18 again brought into requi- sition in the chorus, ‘Praise to the Father.’ It is unnessary to point out other inex- cusable and clumsily used plagiarisms, The general structure of the work is Inartistic. We cannot find in ita feature to command respect for the composer. He has been, so far, fortunate tn meet- ing with many inconsiderate and unreasoning ad- mirers, to judge from the columns of praise lav- ished upon his oratorio, To say nothing of the composers of past ages, we can unhesitatingly point to a single page of Bristow’s ‘Daniel’ as possessing greater merit than the entire 174 pages of Mr. Paine’s “St. Peter.” Mr. Paine, we under- stand, has been a student tn Berlin, but he has not gleaned from his teachers anything that is caleu- lated to give him even a respectable position among composers. He has evidently been afflicted with and is still suffering under the Bach mania, the worst disease that a musician can possibly be, subjected to, and in his abortive attempts to imi- tate the progenitor ot preludes and tugues he has come 10 griei in the one great work oi his life, “St, Peter.” The same house publishes the ‘Forty-sixth Psalm,’ by Dudley Buck. Ambitious though it may be, for it contains eighty pages and deals with a noble subject, there is littie in it to enlist the at- tention and interest of a musician. The music is of the ad captandum order, easily and prettily writ- ten and admirably adapted to the parlor, serenade and mutual admiration glee club. If composers only knew their proper sphere there would be less disastrous consequences in the illustration of the inspired words of the Psalmist. Mr. Buck shows occasional signs of talent in those eighty pages, but they are more of the mechanical than the genu- ine order. Then we have @ full fledged “Festival Cantata’ by Bugene Thayer, a big work of 100 pages. Brief remarks wiil suffice for it. The few original ideas in the work are so bad that even the clums Peete seem a relief, How such crude. childisi ideas could have been considered worthy of pub- lication is one of those inexplicable mysteries in which some music publisuers deal, The mis- takes in the iundamental principles of counter- point which may be found in every portion of this work constitute one of its principal features. “ri Think, Love, of Thee.’ Song.

Jungmann; “Tarentella,” Paul Marcon, They are all prettily written, and, althongh none of them rise above the standard of the sain schcol, yet they are very pleasing. Violin literature has received some valuable works from the distinguished Mexican virtuoso Seor Eusebio Delgado. There are three works— Birds om a Tree,” Variations sur ‘Le Carnevali de Venise,” and “Home, Sweet Home.” The first is a descriptive work of rare delicacy and poetry, the second a most elaborate fantasia, and th third one of those brilliant, effective works, thatin the hands of a virtuoso ofthe highest class cannot fail to produce a lasting impression. Edward Scliuberth & Co., Union square, publish the following :— “La Fille de Madame Angot,’’ potpourri, juadrille and waltz on themes from Lecoca’s opera, by F. Miller. The arrangement is imple and pretty, and althongh none of the themes rise above the level of the Lingard and Offenbach musical standard, and are therefore un- worthy of serious attention, yet there will be sound Many enthusiastic admirers of Mr, Milller’s three transcriptions, “Pauline Polka.’ Charles Fradel.

The First Picture Exhibition of the Season. As we have before intimated, the prospects for art daring the coming season are not exceedingly brilliant. Yet there is some stir, and it will find expression this week in the exhibition of a number of pictures at the Leavitt Gallery, No. 817 Broad- way. The display will openon Wednesday, and remain open day and evening long enough to leave all who are fond of pictures without an excuse for not attending. If those of the series which we have seen are fair specimens of the entire collection it will is a lurge picture by Schlesinger, painted in 1839, and entitled “Jack’s Return.’ In it the artist has given poetical treatment to a commonplace sub- ject, erecting upon the basis of bare affection and the realization of tender anticipations a pic- turesque superstructure, One of the best pictures that ever came from the brush of Thorn is visiple in “Fighting the Windmill,” the combatant, of course, being Don Quixote. Edward Moran has painted many excellent marines, but probably none more powerful or more distinct in character than “Hove To for a Pirate.” This is one of the largest pictures of the collection, was painted by Moran about ten years ago, and is a@ more valu- able evidence of his skill than the majority of the works which leave his hand nowadays. What Rothermel considers his best work, ‘‘Milton and his Daughters,” likewise finds place here. So doa ; library interior by Webb, a fine cattle piece by Van Marcke, a large canvas full of figures by Hunin, a landscape by Danbigny, a wonderful node figure by Courbet, an interior osgppicurn rich in color by Monchot, an exquisite group by the dainty Caraud, one of Lotignet’s large and stately women, and a large oil painting by Bacaiowicz, one of the best and most ambitious by this arust ever ex- hibited in this country. These pictures are the more emphatic prominencies of the collection, An opportunity for stricter judgment will be offered within a day or two. THE UNION HILL MYSTERY.
