VESSELS OF WAR BUILDING BY ENGIASD.-Tho
Liverpool Times of the 18th inst gives the following
interesting paragraph interesting just now to our
members Of Congress
Al present there are thirtysix steamships, Of the
aggregate Of 1860 horse power and mounting $50
guns, building in the royal dock yards. or these
vessels thirteen ships Of the line There are two
three deckers-the Prince OF Wales, mounting I3l
guns, aud the Victoria, mounting 100 guns. The
rest of the ships of the line are two deekers OF So
20 and 100 guns, There are nine frigates on the
stocks, each Of which will mount SO guns and they
will bave screw propelers varying In power from 400
to 500 horses Two experimental frigates mounting
20 guns each, and OF 1000 horse power, are also
building There -four corvettes mounting 20 guns
each, and eight sloops ETC., chiefly mounting from
10 10 l6 guns each, and all steam propelled Tho
cost Of these ships to the nation with ordnance and
fittings, will be about "a 900 600 sterling or f2 1000
per gun. The opinion used TO be that the estimate
for building aud equippiog a man-of.war was equal
to 81 900 per gun, but that did not inclnde steam
All the vessels alluded TO are steamers and 1t there
fore appears that the introduction Of steam doubles
the cost OF the ships.

CoMNoDoRR PAULDNG AND THE ADMINIsTR ALTON
Washington correspondent of the New York
Times writes, under date Of the 25th
Commodore Paulding has had interviews with the
President and Cabinet, at which his reception has
been courteous but not exactly cordial. He told the
President that when he captured Walker and dis.
patched him and his tatterdemalions to the places
whence they came, he supposed he was executing to
the letter the policy OF the Government but that
after he had secured Walker on board his ship the
prisoner made revelations which induced him to
doubt whether he had correctly understood it. Gen.
Walker assured him (the Commodore) that two men,
bers Of the Cabinet were privy to his schemes, and
had signfed their approval Of it, and one of these
Ministers was no other than the Premier himself.
Gen Cass replied to this that he thought he should
be able to prove an abb Whether the other alleged
patron of the iiiibuster was designated by Commo-
dore Paulding not, have not been informed but
doubt not that he was. Mr. Thompson is the gentle
man for whom rumor appropriates this honor 1t Is
very likely that Walker interpreted the general pub
lie declarations of Gen. Cass, as, for instance his
Tammany letter, into the specific approval of his en-
terprise, which he paraded as part of his available
reserve on the quarter deck of the Wabash.
