From the philadelphia Inquirer
THE UNITED STATES NAVY.

The disappointment in relation to the Raritan, and
the cause of that disappointment have produced no
little excitement in this city, especially as one of the
results will be the discharge of about $50 workmen
st of them With families dependent upon them for
support Ii seems that the whole amount of money
appropriated in the Navy Bill as it passed the House,
is $6 $50 $751; while the original amount was ,2l3
2S7 The reductions made in the Committee Of
WAYS and Means amount to nearly VI 800 00O-the
sum voted being merely sufficient to afford the De-
partment enough for immediate demands and to keep
the naval establishment aoat in It's present condition
All the original appropriations for the increase OF the
Navy, and for the enlargement of the yards, were
voted down. Some of the results Of this false
my have already been felt, while the discharge of
many workmen at the Philadelphia yard cannot but be
regarded as a serious calamity with general business
so dull and inactive as IL is at the present time.
Mr.. Charles Brown, the Representative of the First
District, District by the way, especially interested
in this matter voted if we are rightly informed, in
favor of reducing the general appropriation, and
thus against his own constituents Mr. Brown pro-
badly so voted on what regarded as general
principles of economy But are yet to learn that
any considerable portion of the people of this coun-
try are adverse to the right of our national de-
fence or are willing that it shall be weakened or
placed in an rresolutc condition. because of the ex-
pense of few millions
The matter is more TO he wondered as, inasmuch
as the people throughout the country have expressed
themselves warmly in favor OF liberal appropriations
for the navy. Such appropriations were urged by
The Secretary, and were very generally advocated
by the country at large. Some of the votes on the
amendments quite close, and it is 10 be hoped
that on reflection, and with the expressions Of public
sentiment that will be heard from every section of
the Union, the Senate will be induced to act more
literally We assure the gentlemen there, that so
far as we have been able to ascertain, party feel
ing mingles in the question, IN tins vicinity, at least
The complaint has been universal throughout the
country for years, that our Navy was deficient On

more than one occasion within the last four or Ave
years. has the aspect Of our relations with foreign
powers assumed threatening appearance AT pc
riods of this kind, the vast extent Of our coast
has been adyerted to, and the comparatively limited
character of our marine has been commented upon in
Just and patriotic terms when therefore, acting under
the influence of public opinion, liberal appropriations
were suggested and additional strength to the various
features Of the Navy the expressions of appreciation
were cordial and almost general but the expectations
of the people have thus far been baled by Congress
The country will not approve of the conduct OF the
House. and we earnestly therefore, appeal to the Sc
nate TO make effort to correct the error.

From the N. Y, Journal Of Commerce
THE CUNARD STEAMERS.

1t seems to be understood that these splendid boats
notwithstanding their success and the great sum they
receive from the British nmsnt are losing mo-
new Il has come to lie seriously considered, whether
il will not be necessary to change their port IN this
country TO New York The journey to Boston,
small matter it is, is yet found to be sufficient to
cause great many passengers to take the packets
from this port who would take the steamers II they
were here The Great Western it is said finds the
same loss in consequence of starting from BRISTOL and
will probably be obliged to make her head quarters al
Liverpool The postage regulations in this country
and in England are most unfair towards all vessels
carrying letters and certainly ought to be changed
The carrying ofetters is the most important benefit
which these steamers render to the world. The speed
with which they communicate information checks In
the bud the adverse tendencies Of trade This has
been strongly illustrated this spring The importers
of dry goods pected large sales and good business
and enlarged their plans accordingly. When husi-
ness came on, it evident that. such expectations
were erroneous, and they immediately counteiacted
their orders The losses have been heavy; but 1.-THE
correspondence had not been speedy, how greatly
would these losses have been increased. Ships have
come empty which but for the speed of correspon-
dence, would have come full Of goods, to be sold at
half their cost, and adding douby to the derange-
ment of business
The laws of England prohibit the Captains OF yes
sells from taking pay for letters which they bring
away and our laws forbid their taking pay for
letters delivered here, except the two cents each,
which is paid by the Post Offices The steamers are
therefore precluded from income for this most I'M
portant service and may perhaps be discontinued in
consequence of the existence of laws which were
adapted only the state of navigation fifty years ago
A proposal was pending before our Government, and
perhaps is yet pending, by which company Of mer-
chants offered to build several large steamers TO form
a line between this country and England, if only the
law were altered SO that they might collect postage
on letters. These steamers, upon this condition. the
company offered to hold at the disposal OF the Go
yernment in case of powerful addition
would thus have been made to navy, always rea-
DIV for war and not only without expense to the ma
ton but constantly rendering service to its interests
The Great Western receives on an average some
thing like twenty-five hundred dollars postage each
outward voyage. The same sum the other way,
would constitute very important item in the ques-
ton of profit and loss The merchants would rather
pay double the sum- than to forego the advantages OF
this rapid correspondence
