Por some monthe the public hawe been looking for- | ward to the jaunch of the great ecoan ironclad Dic tator, The first attempt to launch ber, almost « month ago, fa’ led; the second attempt has succeeded, and she now floats proudly upon the water. Not- withstanding the fact that no tickets were issued, and that admission was confined to « few naval offi- cers and the represen‘atives of the Prem, the pre- eineta of the wast eh'jshouse, in whieh the wesee! was | built, were om Batarday crowded to excess The launch wae to take piace at 10 o'clock, but long he- ore that bour i3th street, as fares 9th avenue, was | thickly studded with parsons bendieg their way to | the nver. The barbor also presented a very anime- | ted appearance, Hundreds of small boats plied to | nd fro, all Glled with persons, andthe deeks of all | Mereantile vessels near the wharf were crowded with spectators, The steamer Fargo was literally erammed with people, who shouted and cheered for hours before the ceremony. Conspicucus among the assembly was Capt. Friceson, who for the first time, we beliewe, witnessed (he jaunch of one of his vus- als. W noticed the Assistant Secretary of the | | N we (Fox), Commodore Storer, Admiral Gregory, | Chief Engineers Stimers, Robie, Lawton, his Honor | Mayor Gunther, Capt. Worden, and many others. The vesee! war launched quite unexpectedly to all sliding from ber wayr, when the biocks, within 60 feet of her etem, were etill in thoir places. This oc eurred at 94 o'clock, and Mrs. Gilswold, who b been deputed to christen ber, not being pireent,e | workman seized the boitle of wine, emashed it acrose her bows, and uamed her the “Dictator.” The con- structors announced the launch a perfect sacecea DESCRIPTION OF THB VBOREL. | It having been frequently erated that the Dictator | is an ocean iron-clad, the impression prevails that she resembles the new iron-clads, and other vessels built for the purpose of going to sea.
