The ST. Lawrence Falmouth and Perry are on the
Brazil Squadron at present, having relieved the Ss-
yannsh Germantown aud Bainbridge last year; al
the other vessels preparing for at the different
Navy Yards, except the Banbridge, which is on the
/ Coast Of Africa under orders to sail Immediately for
! BuenOs Ayre-. Ii is two years since Capt
Hunter, L. s. N.,-the wor'i-renowned drelist-
wanted Commodore Salter, then Commander.in-C Chief
Of the Brazil Squadron, to allow him to take
| summary vengeance on the authorities of Para
guay for firing or the Water Witch and killing
the helmsman asserting that his vessel, The Balm
bridge, could, if her water tanks were taken out 90
up all the way to Acunsion anl that he could charter
ten brgs and schooners in Rio Monevideo and
BCenos Ayres, which, when manned with sailor. and
marines from the Germantown and Savannah would
have Lopez kneelng to the American flag in
month. Commodore Salter refused to listen to the
proposition, which fact exasperated the Captain
that be perpetra;ed crimes which called for his imne-
diae suspension. HIS farewell words to the Cornman-
der-n-Chief Characteristic Of the man. Well
Commodore, bucket Of water would quench this fire
in six months the full Of every hose n the squad
ron won't put it out / could settle tomorrow; it
will take ministers and men-of-war larger than my
little brig to arra ge this trouble yet. Very true.
The Navy Department has now decided that all
naval captains in command Of expeditions shall hence
for1 be called Adm'ras, and be honored obeyed and
sauted as such. Accordingly Adn,roi Shubrck of
the Sabine now flies his broad flag from the fore in
stead of the main mast of the ship.
The SIC,RAGuA ROUTE.
Tie steamship Washington will sail hence on the
18th inst for San Francisco and intermediate ports to
take her place on the Pacific side in this line. The
steamer from the Atlantic side will ail the 2Oth of
this MOI IL
DISCIPLINE 1T sEA.
The immense loss Of life attendant upon the burning
Of the steamship Austria elicit of course, all knls
Of recommendations for the future But the most
novel precauton is that adopted by Capt P-ar5on of
the Pacific mail steamship John l.. Stephens. No
sooner does his vessel leave port dian he assigns 10
each passenger position in of the Eieboas, and
the men are enrolled into boat guard, and drilled
each day in all the minuin Of launching the boats,
&C. Tie idea has proved popular on the Pacific
side and many passengers have been known to wait
at both ends Of the route for his slip in preference to
any other vessel. This is capital precaution AMI
might prove beneficial on our Atlantic Ocean steam
ships.
