Doings ut the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Last Monday was the busiest day they have had
at the BROOKLYN Navy Yard for long time. The
of the United States steamship Mississippi, re-
Gently arrived from Japan and the East Indies, were
paid Oft and discharged, and the ship taken out
of commission. A large sale of condemned stores of
various kinds held and the proceeds given over
to the Navy Agent in trust for the different Depart
ments of the Government The little clipper barque
Eringo fitting up for the Arctic cruise, was foated
from the naval dry dock The soreship Relief was
then taken in the dock, her bottom examined, the
coppering repaired, and let out in the afternoon
Shortly afterwards the storeshp Supply, the vessel
of the camel expedition to the Mediterranean and
the little water tank boat, the " "Waerspout," were
tioaed in. The Supply is coppering and the water
boat is repainting. These things constituted sin
gle days work at the navy yard, and deserve TO be
recorded.
Upwards of fifteen hundred men are at present
employed in ship building, getting vessels ready for
sea, erecting machinery for various purposes, and
carrying out the many Improvements of the yard
A large number are at work upon the sea-wa east
of the naval dry dock.
The frigate Congress is awaiting her officers and
crew. Ii IS reported that they will receive orders ii
day or two from the Secretary of the Navy. The
Congress is TO be the flagship of the Mediterranean
squadron, under the command of Commodore Breese
The tide begins 10 turn towards the navy. Re-
cruits are enstine at the rate OF ten and twelve
day. No shipments ofapprentices or boys, however
have yet taken place. 1t is said that orders have
been received from Washington TO enlist boys con.
sequen,ly nothing will be done till the directions
come from headquarters.
The storeship Relief has begun to load for the
Brazil station, and will sail for her destination
The sloop-of-war Levant which arrived at Hamp
ton Roads on the 30th ultimo, is hourly expected
here.
