IRON STEAMBOATS.—Not many of our readers are aware, we suspect, that somebody is building four iron steamboats—or perhaps they may be sailing vessels—at one yard in this city. "The yard is in the space bounded by Washington, West, Jane and Horatio streets. Those who live in the immediate neighborhood hear 'the clink of hammers closing rivets up' all day long; or at least all the time they pass at home." The hull of one of the vessels is nearly completed, and the others are in good progress.
