The Secretary of the Navy, in his
annual Report, suggests the propriety Of
a survey Of the Harbor of Newport, and
holds the following language with regard
to lis fitness for Naval Depot.
! "Ihe communication made by the
Commissioners If the Navy, dated 10Th
October, 1893, and addressed to you,
with the report on Naval Affairs, at the
commencement OF the last session of
Congress, afforded some views in rela-
ton to the fitness OF the Harbor of New
PORT, Rhode-Island, or some place in
the Narragansett, Bay, for Naval De-
pot and rendezvous for the U. S. Navy.
/ From this it appears, that the general
advantages Of this Ilarbor or Bay, for
such purposes, are, in some respects,
supcriorto any position east ofthe Chesa-
peake Bay.-In addition to the informa-
ton furnished by this document, it will
be found on reference to the surveys of
Captains Evans and Perry, made by
order ofthe Navy Department in 1915
and 1917, that the places referred to
combine almost every advantage desira-
BILE for such an establishment; especially
facility of ingress s. egrcss, with a sut-
ticient depth Of water for ships of the
largest classes, and ola capacity to per-
NIT the largest fleets to ride within their
waters, in security from storms, or OBJ
structiOns from accumulations of ice; that
its proximity to the ocean gives all the
advantages of convenient attack or re-
treat from an enemy; and that, from the
number and nature of the channels of
entrance and departure, feet could not
be blockaded within it without an appli-
cation offorce incomparably greater than
the one intended to be shut up; and that
it is believed to be defensible at an ex-
pense far less than that which has been
incurred for similar objects. In addition
to these important advantages, it is de-
scribed by the officers above named, as
admitting of the entrance Of vessels with
the wind blowing from points of the COM
pass during the prevalence of which it
would be impossible to make port in any
harbor on the eastern coast of the Unit
ed States. This peculiar facility might,
If the harbor was properly defended, re-
suit in the security Of fleet from the
attacks of a superior enemy, and affords
the strongest inducements to provide for
its scientific survey, and the determina-
alton of all the points connected with tho
subject.
1t is respectfully recommended that an
appropriation be made, authorising such
survey by the proper Engineers, Of tho
Harbor of Newport, or other positions on
Narragansett Bay, with view to tho
selection of site Offering the greatest
number of these advantages, and sus-
ceptible of defence at the least expense
to the nation"

CONVENTION. Some of our friends have re-
mndeds US that the season has returned in which
it has been usual to publish the old fashioned Re.
publican notice to the feemen, requesting them to
elect delegates to meet in convention at the jan
uary session ofthe General Assent ly "to make a
prox''-anI asked, whether we did not intend to
continue that good old custom? the answer was
No. Various cogent reasons might be given in
justification of that short and apparently grabbed
answe: But ii is enough to say at present, that
ed by the knowing to the "plnters, for their
having interfered in the formation of proxies.
These same poor printers have been abused, and
most numerically too, for having, as their enc
mics say, meddled with important matters in
which they had no sort of nterest-and all the
mishaps that resulted to the party, no matter
from what sources they may have come, have
been piled up at the door Of the poor "prnter a"
Now for our humble selves in relation to this high
ly important concern,we havelaid down a straight
forward, right up-and-down course, and from
which we shall not depart. 1t is this,-if there
should be offered to the public at the Spring cleo
ton, set of candidates from ellis Excellency''
down along to the foot Of the prox, that we shall
knop to be "good men and true" of the national
republican cast, and who shall be confessedly and
really friendly to the American System, and to
the election OfIIENRY CLAY to the presidency,
that set of men, whether nominated by conven-
ton or otherwise, shall have umeservedy all our
support, be that little or much-nor shall we stop
to enquire whether they are masons, or anti-ma-
sons And we reserve also the privilege of doing
our uttermost to prevent the success of any prox
that shall be made up of different sort of men

General Jackson and his Cabinet attended the flu.
neral OF MIR. Alexander Smyth on Monday. The &C.
neral seemed to be especially serious, became him
when the Chaplain reminded men in public lifc that
they were liable to forget that they had to die
and that they ought TO make preparation for DEATH
than ordinary men; and when he further held up the
example of Alfred the Great, who did not the more
neglect his civil duties because he devo ed third of
his time to those of religious character. The Ge-
neral looked serious there was a craftness in the
look ofthe Great Magician, the Secretary of War
bent his eyes the carpet ohe Hail. and there was
strong imperurbabilIty the countenances of the
Treasury and Navy Secretaries which was relieved
by the placid features of the Attorney General. /
did not perceive that the cordlality which ought to
reign among political brothers, in the Cabinet:
1t seemed to run in currents.
The Senate took up Yesterday the consideration of
MI Bartons resolutions on the subject of the appoin
ting power Some discussion took place upon them,
in which MIR. Mckinley, Mr.. Kane and MIR. Bbb
distinguished themselves and were in return cut up
into tle stars by Mr.. Barton One of the resolutions
was afterwards laid the table, and the other was
postponed and made the special order of the day for
Friday. The Indian Bill subsequently taken
up when Mr.. Robbins of Rhode Island, made 4 very
sensible speech against the policy of dispossessing
the Indians and driving them against their WILL be-
yond the line of civilization.
In the House of Representatives, the Bill to reduce
the duties on coffee and tea passed by vote OF
1863 to 5-after which the House went into Commit
tee ofthe Whole the state of the Union, and took
up the report of the Judiciary Committee in the
Of Judge Peck of Missouri The charge against this
Judge is for the illegal Imprisonment fMr. Lawess,
and striking him from the roll of Attornies, for which
acts of oppression it recommended by the Com
mittee that he be impeached. MIR. Buchanan and
Judge Spencer Of New York, the former the Chair
man, and the latter member of the Committee on
the Judiciary, made each an elaborate argument in
favour of the resolution reported by the Committee,
and Mr.. Clay of Alabama who appears to be of coun-
sci for Judge Peck, spoke at length the other side
MIR. Dcddrdge then pbtaned the floor, and his
motion the Committee He is consequently
entitled to the floor But the question will not pro-
badly be taken up again before Monday, as this day
is set apart for the Legislation concerning the Dis

exclusive consideration oprivate bills, which about
