The prospect of the passage of The Navy Appro-
pratlon Bill has already produced change in the
Secretarys arrangements The New York Era 1--WE
believe it wasD lately announced that "lour heavy
fr'gates, oil "a guns each, TO be launched IN The
course OF lew days, viz the Cumberland at Boston,
the Savannah at Brooklyn, the Raritan at Philadel-

These launches directed to be made in the
course of the last week. But the House of
Representatives elrenched the ppropration than he

The Savannah has been launched at Brooklyn-but
it is said that 400 laborers have been discharged from
the Navy Yard
At Boston, The frgate Cumberland launched
on Tuesday, in presence of vast number of sEectu

fully from the stand which she has occupied for seven
