THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY'S RE
PORT.

The Report of the Secretary Of the Navy, adlnira,
bic for the sound doctrines incucaed, well, also,
for the clear and manly style in which they are en-
forced, appears to meet with very general appro-
baton by those who have carefully ieadt while 1t has
been ccnsured and condemned by others, who have
either not read il all, or else careessy, as to put
constructions directly at variance with ITS clearly ex-
pressed views The fist great requisite IN every dis
cusso is for the parties clearly 10 understand The
question proposed In our public bodies, unfortunate
~, this necessity is TOO frequently overlooked; and
our speakers pitch into the midst OF debate and il is
only after the conclusion of what they suppose to
have been an eloquent and convincing argument,
that they find the point they have been discussing
The daily Madisonian. [volume] (Washington City [i.e. Washington, D.C.]) 1841-1845, 1842-01-12

has no connection with the question under debate,
and that for hours they have been combating 'hen
own misapprehension Of the matter.
Wehaye been induced 10 make these remarks BY an
assertion made by Mr.. Weller, in Congress, In bis
place thatth Secretary proposed 70 increase ine
halfh size in ofthat OF Treat Britain, afun aHHuas
expense Of Twenty-Five millions A.
Upon this assertion, their MISREPRESENTATION, M
Weller or a rerson of less ability might very readil
make an eloquent and convincing speech TO all
who should adopt his Misrepresentation for the iac,l
and the more especially at the present moment OF
such Distressing financial embarrassment the ninsd
Of all such persons being thus affected, must give 70
the views OF the Secretary less than liberal consldcra-
lion.
The views ofthe Secretary are too imposing to be
thus set aside by any argument founded upon msap-
prehension and although our political paftlalise-
are well known, yet our frs, and strongest attAcns
mens are the general interests OF the country an.
do not feel disposed 10 throw aside without the iuu
lest and most candid consideration, report OF such
confessed ability and promise.
The Secretary never proposed, and never desired
an annual expenditure OF twenty-five millions II We
take the language of his report as the exponent Of
his views and wishes. -
He speaks of an ultimate increase of the Navy u
half the size of that Great Britain but he leaves %
the wisdom of Congress- to hor rapidly q shouid
be done.
If Mr. Weller would set to- and resolve the ques
ton submitted to his wisdom by the Secretary, ne
might obtain credit for himself, and secure lasting
and important good to his country We recommend
to him. as we do TO all others, to withdraw from 'hs
pale party strife this important this vital measure
Of our c. untry's defence.
| The Secretary leaves to the wisdom Of Congress
the labor and the glory OF organizing and completing
the best devised system Of defence which has YET Deer
submitted.
We desire candid and liberal and patriotic feel
ing to be brought to the discussion irrespective en-
tirey of party spirit or party feeling and 10 so say
ing we believe speak the sentiments OF tho h's
party.

Danger Of g. Air Tight Stopes."-Wc were called
Yesterday morning to witness the effects OF violent
explosion which had taken place from the use Of
one Of these stoves at the house of Rev. Mr. Abbott
The entire breastwork of the chimney in the apart
ment where the stove had been used was shattered,
and fragments Of lime and bricks were scattered
over the floor The stove stood not far from the
centre Of the room, where it had been thrown by
the force of the explosion, and was denied by a
large number of bricks which had been hurled
against it. The report accompanying the explosion
was so loud that the people in the neighborhood
thought that it was produced by thunder. MIR. Abb
bot at the time of the accident, was sitting within
few feet of the stove, having, few moments be-
fore opened the register and damper of the stove,
which had been closed perfectly tight during the
night While doing this, the child, about ten months
old SAT upon the floor in the very place where the
stove was thrown. Mr.. Abbott says, "she looked
up into my face as if she wanted me to take her,
which had scarcely done, when the explosion took
place, leaving the child unhurt and injuring me
only slightly" Had it occurred the evening before,
the injury would have been indeed serious, for the
room was then crowded with people.
To obviate accidents of this kind, vcntllator
should always be left open in the re-board, SO that
constant circulation Of air may be going on in the
chimney (as is the in our frc-paces where we
burn wood and the damper of the stove should never
be closed perfectly tighter rather, IT should never
be made so that it can be SO Observation-Disclosures In

STRELIrzlA REGuNlE.-About two years ago, we
called the attention of the lovers of Flora to mag
nifcent flower, then displayed at Mr. Dreers esta-
blshment in Chestnut street, but while writing the
paragraph some tasteful citizen stopped in and pur-
chased the prize, by which act many dsappoint-
ed We perceive that Mr.. Dreer has now received
another specimen Of the plant which he will be hap
py to show to his friends at No 81 Chestnut street.
The history of this interesting plant, and the origin
of its name, may warrant our rcpublishing it
'The late distinguished friend and liberal patron
of SCIENCE Sir Joseph Banks, Bart in early life, and
then commoner, was an ardent cultivator of bota-
ny and natural history, and under an actual matri-
monial engagement applied for, and was appointed
to- the place of Naturalist to the first expedition of
Captain Cook, and at New Holland, met with the
plant in question Finding that it genus,
he, with great taste, determined to name it after her
Majesty, the Queen of England whose family name
being Mechlenberg Streftz, he coined for it the
classical name of Strelitzia and added Regina, (of
the Queen) greater compliment could not have
been paid to her. But you will naturally ask what
became of Mr.. Banks betrothed' ! heard long
since and from good authority that his Suspension
of proceedings not relished by the adys friends,
and excited some severe remarks, which however,
were soon quieted by the powerful charm of ten
thousand pounds, which Mr. Banks paid her for the
disappointment he had occasoned-not that " he
loved her less, but that he loved science more ~.
