The total number of vessels on the Navy
Register for 1861, is 81. They rank as fol
lows:
Ten liners, rated at nearly 5000 tons each
872 guns
Ten frigates, averaging / 800 tons, and so

Twenty sloops of war, (leaving out the lie.

All useless in their present state.
Three briggs, averaging 280 tons and guns
each All sound, but OF little value
One schooner, 95 tons, guns Good of her
kind
Eight first class propellers, each averaging
$500 tons, and rated tor forty guns while only
carrying about %.
Six second class propellers, five new, av-
eraging 1000 tons and II guns each.
Seven navy built steam gun boats, averag.

tons and 10 guns each. Three in commission
One steam tender, water Witch, land eight
harbor and seagoing storeships, and seven

OF the ten liners, none could be made SER
viceable in their present shape. Ten of the
corvettes are in commission-five of them

Portsmouth and st. LOUISE being good ships
The Others would be comparatively useless in
modern naval engagement.
All the seasteam corvettes and gun-boats are

THE AFRICAN FLEET - COMMANDMENTS
CHIEF, FLAG OFFICER INMAN.-The cruising
quarters OF the African fleet is within latitude
70 deg. north, aud Is deg, south, and the adj
jaccnt ocean on the coast Of Africa. The
stopping places are Fernando Pc, Madeira,
(going out and returning, Porto Praya, Porto
Grande, ST. Helena, Kabenda,) Little Fish
Bay and ST. Paul de LoaGdo. The depot and
storehouses used formerly to be at Porto Pra-
va, but that being too far from the slave trad
ers' s track, it was removed 1900 miles down
south, almost to the mouth OF the Congo river
at ST. Paul's. The fleet, which is said to be
ordered homo is as follows

The department may CLEAN instruction from
this statement New York stands FIRST Bos.
ton second, and Portsmouth, N. H., third on
the list IF the rativities of the successful
steamers. The Norfolk and Philadelphia
ships have not reflected credit on their con-
structors. British officer, whiting from &C.
noa to the London Times, speaks in the warm
est manner of the excellence of the Iroquois
and he enlogises Mr., Delano for the skill he
manifested in her build,
REVENUE AND SURVEYING VESSELS.
We have not alluded in this article to any
vessel but those belonging to the regular navy.
There is built respectable fleet SO far as
numbers are concerned, OF light draft brigs,
schooners, and steamers connected with the
revenue and surveying services, lying at the
different navy yards which would, no doubt,
be found useful and efficient tenders.

THE EAST INDIES FLEET COMMANDMENTS
CAiet, Flag officer Strling.-The East Indies
fleet cruises in the seas OF China and Japan.
The depot is Hong Kong, but provisions are
sometimes left at other places. AS it takes
about six months for vessel to get out, she
seldom remains there more than a year, ex.
cept when the exigencies of the service at
home, as at present, for instance, prevent the
authorities from relieving her, when the spec-
fed term of cruising two Jears) expires. the
present commander n-chIef is native of
South Carolina, but is so allied with northern
families that there is no likelihood OF his re-
signing His sentiments of duty, too, would
hardly admit of such course on his part. We
