TILE NAVY ESTIMATES.

The navy estimates for the year 1861-62 are now before
us. They show that the customary paragraph in her Ma-
jesty's Speech has not been without a meaning this year
at any rate, and that they have been "framed with a due
regard to economy," the total vote being less than that of
last year by a sum of more than £BOO,OOO.
The 17 votes into which the navy estimates are divided
amount in the aggregate to £12,029,475, of which
£10,432,632 is for the effective service, the remainder
being for half-pay, pensions, and the conveyance of troops.
The votes for the effective service are 13 in number. We
will give them in a tabular form, and afterwards refer to
each in detail :

Wages to seamen and marines
Victuals for ditto . 1,328,259
Admiralty Office
161,157
Coast Guard Service, Royal Naval Coast Vo •
lunteers, and Royal Naval Reserve

jesty's establishments at home

jesty's establishments abroad 67,828

outfit of the fleet, steam machinery, and
ships built by contract ..

yards, &c.
Medicines and medical stores
Miscellaneous services

469,835
66,000
90,510

£10,431,632
The first vote, for the wages of seamen and marines, is
less than that of last year hy£354,117. The principal saving
is effected in the vote of £1,882,592 for the wages of 47,000
officers, seamen, and boys. Last year, 54,000 were voted,
the total sum required first for wages, and subsequently
for increase of pay to officers, being £2,241,945. It must
not be understood that these 47,000 constitute the
whole strength of our navy. 2,000 officers, seamen, and
boys, at an expense for wages of £107,033, aro required
for surveying, troop, and store ships. This item is
almost identical in amount with that of last year—in
every case, indeed, where we do not express the contrary,
this may be understood. For 2,000 boys iii thiining ships
£19,263 is required, ror 4,000 officers, &c., employed in the
coast-guard [lei-Vice afloat £154,915 (a decrease being shown
here of nearly £10,000), and for £4,000 officers, &c., for the
coast-guard service on shore, £182,369. The total ntimbd
of men and boys thus required is 59,000, the total number
for last year being 66,100. The total niimber a hist-1116
required is 18,000, the total sum asked being £148,772.
100,000 of these men aro for service afloat and 8,000 for ser-
vice ashore.

The vote for victuals does not require much examination.
It is £129,828 less than it was last veer. Posting ot-ei•th+3
third vote for the Admirelty.aitce with the remark that
an increase of £B7? is to be observed here, we come to the
fourth vote of £253,422 for the coast-guard service, Royal
Naval Coast Volunteers, and the Royal Naval Reserve. A
saving of £34,303 is effected on this vote. It may be sum-
marised as follows :—For the coast-guard service, £145,142,
this sum being of course independent of that voted for
wages to the coast guardsmen under the head of wages to
seamen and marines—for the Royal Naval Coast Volun-
teers £28,280, and for the Naval Reserve £BO,OOO.
The vote for the scientific branch, though very interest-
ing in its details, can hardly claim much attention from us
at present, being unimportant in its amount, the succeeding
two votes having nothing remarkable about them. In the
eighth, however, we notice a very important reduction from
the corresponding amount for last year, no less than
£328,555 being saved here., his vote is for the wages of
artificers employed in her Majesty's establishments at home.
The saving is effected in the-item for " naval yards, includ-
ing yard services afloat, and teams." This item, which was
£1,347,727 for the last year, is £1,011,251 for that ensuing.
For the item, "victualling yards,
.including hoys," the
amount if; £45,565, nearly the same as the corresponding
sum in the last estimates. There is an increase in the cost
of tho medical department from £8,764 last year to £14,239
this. The item for the transport department is trifling.
The marine infirmaries require £3,891, and the police divi-
sions, embracing naval and victualling yards, and medical
establishments, £36,774.
Vote 10 uow claims our attention, This Tote atoouute to

£3,489,477, and is in excess of its predecessor by X 285,043.
Of this £2,019,935 goes to the storekeeper-general's depart-
ment; the Controller of the Navy spends £1,441,18S ;
£685,400 in steam-machinery, a savir g of rather more than
£lOO,OOO being effected here; and £755,782 in payments to
be made in 1861-62 on account of ships or vessels building
for to be built by contract, this sum being rather more than
£lOO,OOO in excess of the corresponding item for the pre-
vious year.
