The largest shipbuilder in New York died re cently. In a review of his life, an American paper gives the following list of vessels constructed by him during the 58 years of his business :-■ From 1821 until his retirement he constructed 174 sea-going vessels, of a cross capacity of 139,039 tons, comprising 36 steamvessels, 47,921 tons; 91 ships, 80,477 tons • 5 barques, 2701 tons; 4 brigs, 799 tons.

and another just above Shanghai. Both are superintended by Frenchmen, who amply provide them with overything for the production of ships and implements of war. At first a largo number of foreign artisans were employed but these gradually were supplanted by natives, and at last accounts out of 1500 workmen employed not more than 30 were foreigners. At these arseaals have been built ferry-boats, revenue cruisers, dispatch boats, and sloops-of-war, ranging from 100 to 1000 tons register. Some of them aro beautiful specimens of naval aj™ 1 " tcctnre, and in every senso of tho word fitted with all the latest improvements of machinery. Some of the larger class aro intended for navigation of tho China Sea, whero as tempestuous weather prevails as is encountered in any quarter of the globe. Tho Chinese Government, in fact, now have steamers in every respect fitted to undertake the longest voyages and to attain very high speed. They are also provided with the latest improved armaments. There is no lack of trained seamen. There are two training ships at each of the above arsenals, at which 200 Chinese youths are being converted into sailors. Many are quito advanced in study. Several classes have graduated, and are now employed as under-officers on the vessels. Sovsral vessels of the Merchants Line, now running, have lately been put under Chines* captains. A VESSEL 'WRECKED. [BY TELEGBArH, PEE 33 ASSOCIATION.] Oaxabu, Friday. A terrific sea was rolling all day, and the English barque Gloria put to sea in safety about 5 o'clock p.m. About 8 o'clock the keteb Franklin Belle, which was lying under the lee of the Normanby Wharf, dragged her anchor. Only one man was on board at tho time, but the captain and four others put off in a boat, and ou setting on board hoisted sail and endeavoured to wear the vessel. It was some time before they could clear the windlass to lift the anchor, and a tremendous sea washed over her, washed away the boats, smashed the hatchways, getting into the hold, which was filled with railway iron. The captain, to save life, ran her on to the beach, where she lies. All the crew were saved. As the tide is now rising, it is feared she will break up before morning. The vessel is insured for £400, but the office is not known. The vessel was valued at £600. All the other shipping is quite safe.
