REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE
Navy A Washington correspondent Of
Philadelphia North American says:
The estimates for the expenses of the
Navy Department for the next fiscal year
have been prepared, and learn that they
do not differ much from those of the last
year, Notwithstanding the Secretary will
recommend u very considerable increase
of the steam navy. This results from
The fact that government has IN hand a
very large proportion Of the material re-
quired for ship building, and that the esti-
mates of necessary expenditures have been
considerably reduced in many branches
Of the service.
The Secretary will recommend to Con-
gress the establishment of number Of
government mechanic shops, where ma
binery Tor our national vessels can be
prepared, and thoroughly tested before
being put into the ships, as is the practice
in the English navy

The PRESIDENTS MEssAaE. - The
Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
Herald gives the following sketch of the
probable contents Of President Pierce's
first message.
1t is believed here that the President,
in his message, wi proclaim hon-inter.
vention in European affairs; in favor of a
reduction in the tariff, according to the
free-trade schedules of Secretary Guthrie,
probably inclucing salt, coal-and iron to a
considerable extent; that he wi enlarge
upon the Cuba question, endorsing the
views of Everett; that he will recon
mend some reform and retrenchment in
the ocean mail steamship service; that he
will recommend some steam additions to
the Navy, according to the report in pre-
paration by Secretary Dobbn; that he
will make out favorable exhibit of the
Post Office operations for the past year;
that he will recommend various things for
the benefit of our frontier Indians and the
frontier settlers, including II territorial
government for Nebraska, (south of
Missouri,) which will he very apt to bring
up again the slavery question in practi-
cal shape; that he will take safe and
cautious position on the Pacific Railroad !;
ard should not at al be surprised were
he to recommend liberal policy of re-
ciprocities between the United States and
Canada and the adjoining COLONIES. in the
settlement of the fishery question.

A PARRY INcIDENT.-A journal ofthe
south of France mentions circumstance
connected with the saving of the passen-
gers from Partisan steamer the boiler of
which exploded on the Rhone. An infant
was handed from one passenger to ano-
ther until it reached a small boat which
had come to the aid of persons on hoard;
but, just as the child was received by the
men in the boat, n larger boat, by some
mismanagement, came violently agninst
il, and the smaller one was overturned.
The child was, however. saved by the
circumstance Of having been placed on n
cushion, which floated down the current,
and carried the child to point Of the
shore where some bOatinen took it up
When rescued, it still held all apple in its
hand.

SPEED OF RAILwAYs.-Dr. Lardner
adopts some ingenious illustrations TO rem
der familiar the extraordinary velocity
with which our express trains move.
The Great Western express of Exeter,
England, travels at the rate of 4S mi es
an hour, including stoppages, or 81 miles
an hour, without including stoppages; to
attain this rate, speed of 60 miles an
hour is adopted midway between some of
the stations; and, in certain experimental
trips 10 miles an hour have been reached.
\ speed Of 10 miles an hour is about
equivalent to 35 yards per second, or 81
yards between two beats Of common
clock.
All ol jects near the eye Of passenger
trnve ing at this rnte will pass 10y his eye
in the thirty fifth part Of second; and il
thirty-fiv stakes were erected ut the side
of the road, yard aSunder, they would
not be di>tingui.hnble one from another;
If painted red, they Won appear coliec-
ii ely IA continuous flash Of red color
If two trains with this speed passed each
other, the relative veocity would he 70
yards per second; and if one of the trains
were 10 yards long, it "ou Il flash Ivy in
Il single second. Surprising the locomo-
tive which draws such n train to have
driving wheels seven feet in diameter,
these wheels will revo We five times in Il
second; the piston moves along the cyln-
der ten times in second; the valve moves
and the steam escapes ten times in Il
second.
The locomotive can be heard to cough
when moving s'owly, the cough being
accustomed by the abrupt emission OF
waste steam up the chimney; but 90
coughs per second cannot be separated
by the ear, their individuality becoming
lost. Such 10, ornotive speed is equal
to nearly one-fourth that of a cannon ball
and the momentum Of a whole train NOV
ing at such a speed, would be nearly
equivalent to the aggregate force of II
number of cannon balls equal to one-f forth
the eight of the train. That "smash"
should follow "colIision" is no suhjec.
for marvel, if a train moving at such
speed, should meet with any obstacle to
progress.
