We give the material portions of the Report Of
the Secretary ofthe Navy, this morning. Toe en-
tredocumehti is considerably longer than the Presi
dents Message, but much space is taken up with
details of the operations at GreytOwn, and the
position of squadrons; all of which the public
have had long since through the columns Of The
TRIBUNE. OF course, Mr.. Dobbin justi6es the
Greytown vsndalism-that is his duty, as Cdbi-
net officer. He offers, also, recommendation
for further increase of the Navy, by the build
ING Of elk war vessels in addition to the increase
authorized by the last session Of Congress. The
additional vessels are to have steam as an suxiI-
airy. The steam frieatss now building, the Sec.
rotary says, will be ahoat by next fall. Secretary
DObbn iterates his recommendation for the re.
organization of the Navy, for reform in its admin
istration and for q retired list, aud presses his
views with earnestness. In support of his views
be casts very broad and general imputatioas upon
officers Of the Navy, declaring that "there are
many officer, now in the Navy whose names do
"Dot adOrn the register" and tba. &" there are
"thoss incapable Of performing duty from age or
affiction;r others "do not merit promotion,
" from incapscity, either moral or ph! sicsl and
that the magic touch of reform is needed
A." to impart to the housekeeping body of our
Navy a robust health and new life" The
Secretary announces his purpose Of adopting the
apprenticeship system. The marine corps is
lauded for its usefulness, and especially for its
readiness to put down insubordinatioR on ship
bosrd, with strong hand and FURNISHED arms at
1.-The drum tap" The Secretary recommends an
increase Of this force also. We have now eight
Navy Yards, inclusive ofthe one now 10 rapid pro-
eress Of construction at Mare Islasd, California.
10 keep these yards in proper condition for use
Iui service, and to erect on them the necessary
pnhoings and fixtures, the Secretary says, will
occasion the expenditure, annually of large sums
Oh money, notwithstanding the dilige nee and yigi
lance OF the Chief of th.t Bureau. Large sp-
preparations will be from time to time required
for the yard in California, which /. il presumed.

The President and his Secretary of the Ma y
are very anxious to spend few millions in build
ing additional steam frgates in order to strength
en- the defeoses of the country. At the same
time they are Jealous for that policy which shuts
up our factories and workshops, deprlves the
democratic masses Of employment, and turns
them out to starve, while the foreign debt Of tho
country goes on increasing, and i:s real weakness
becomes greater and greater every day. OF al
the leading nations Of tho world, there il not ono
which is 30 little able to mako war - the United
States, nor ono in which the mere prospect Of Q
war would occasion such universal ruin and die.

The steamer Union, from Hayre and South
ampton, with four days later news from Europe,
is momentariy expected She was to have sailed
Nov. %.
The steamship Pacific was to sail from Liver
pool On the 29th Of Nov, and would be due about
Sunday.
The Cunard steamer (Niagara) which was to
sail on the 22d was probably taken to carry troops
to the seat of war; so no steamer will be due at
Halifax for several days.

Severe Disasters.-The Pitlsburg Chronicle,
ofthe 25th reports the sinking of eighty coal boats
and barges on the Ohio involving the loss of fifteen
boamen by drowning.
The Cincinnati Coipmbian, in speaking of this
disaster, says: upon that bitter night, there was
cry of despair heard upon the dark expanse OF
the toaming waters; il came from the crews of tho
boats which, unmanageable in the powerful stream,
were whiring rapidly destruction. One gallant
soul with undaunted spirit and here uean strength,
taking the end of rope between his teeth, cast
himself into the waves, breasting them until he
reached the shore; but here his strength failed him.
and he fell. AT the same time yell of agony burst
upon the night the boats had swamped, and the
strong men were swept like reeds on on, beneath
the dark waters. Of many, who few hours
before were full of life and hope but seven were
saved. One who swan ashore perished where he
landed, and nine sunk TO rise more.
