OF the Naval Academy at Annapolis, the
Secretary says:
"Ihe Naval Academy has, during the past
year, continued to present to the country prac
teal evidence of the wisdom and foresight OF
its protector Under the vigilant superintend,
auce of Commander Goldsborough and his
worthy assistants, the strictest discipline has
been enforced, to the marked benefit of this in
stitution.
"Thc plan of education is now thorough, and
the training Of the youth admirable. The
cruise in the Practice Ship is Of immeasurable
advantage in imparting at an early age practi-
cal knowledge fseamanship. During the last
summer the Preble, with 81 young Midship-
men, visited Portsmouth and Plymouth, in
England, and Brest and Cherbourg in France,
thereby affording them an opportunity Of ex-
amining the naval establishments of those
points.
"The contract has been,made for the erection
Of machine shop at Annapolis under the act
of Congress authorizing it, and shall avail
myself of the first opportunity when the service
will permit, to substtatea steamer for the soop
now used as practice ship. The number Of
students now at the academy is one hundred
and sixty. Attention is called to the report Of
the chief Of the bureau of ordnance and hydro
graphy, and the annual report of the board Of
examiners, as also that of the commander Of
the practice ship"
The legitimate expenditures for the support
of the navy and marine corps of the fiscal year,
ending June 80, 1854, amounted to Sc, ,S9l ,S32
with some outstanding claims to be paid. The
amount required for the same purpose, for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1856, is ss,9l7,.
297.

CONSUMPTION OF LIFE DURING THE REIGN
OF THE EMPEROR NICHoLAs.-The consump
tion of human life during the reign of the En-
pcrur Nicholas has been enormous:
He has carried on war with the Circassians
uninterrupedly for 2S years, at an annual cost
Of 10000 lives on the Russian side alone, ma
king a grand total of near 100000 Russians
who have perished in attempting to subdue ibe
independence Of Crcassia In the two cam.
paigns against Persia, as in the Hungarian
campaign and the two Polish campaigns of
lS3l-'32 there are not sufficient data to form
correct estimate of the loss of the Russians,
which was, however, in the Persian and Polish
wars, enormous In the two campaigns against
Turkey of ls2s-'29, 100000 fell Of whom
however, $4,000 pcr>hcd by the plague. The
loss of the Russians in various ways since the
entry of the Danubian Principalities is under
stated at 10000. In these calculations it
should be borne in mind that no estimate is
attempted to be m ee of the sacrifice of hu-
man life on the side of those who fought for
their liberties against the aggressions Of Rus
sia.-EdinJurg Advertiser.

THE SnRUc OF THE SHOULDER. A very sig
nfcant gesture, and very much employed by
foreigners. The American rarely uses it, in
deed, he does not know how. The French and
Germans will give an answer full of meaning,
by this amusing motion of one shoulder. How
shall we translate this shrug into English?-
Perhaps by noting some of its occasions. For
example, ask your foreign friend about per-
son whose character or credit he considers du.
bious. He says nothing, but gives queer
movement to his right shoulder. Ask him
about the prospects of some business specula-
tion. If his shoulder gives the answer, lie
means" nous ve,rons" or, I" can tell you
better by and by" Question hlm in regard tc
some work Of taste; if his shoulder rises sud-
denly, you may understand him TO reply
"Think what you please, have nothing tc
say" This shoulder utterance is usually &
pretty severe comment If called upon for &
general translation, we should word it thus
Look out for hunbug."
