In fact above one half may be added to give the real ton-
nage as applicable to warfare—giving 36,000 tons at the
least, and with 14,452 horses power. The Iron Duke to
wit, rated above at 364 tons, is actually of 700 tons bur-
then. Here, then, we have, belonging to, or resorting to
our own port alone upwards of 60 steamers, all fine strong
vessels, capable of carrying heavy metal, and many of
them guns of immense calibre, either on pivots or in
ranges. But we have other ports that could each send
out its fleet. In December, 7842, we had in all England

of our own,) but taking very low data we have--
