struction of the new ocean iron-clad navy. The
fact that England and France are surprising US in
the number of sea.goiDg afmored vessels, has in
dued Secretary Welles to expedite the completion
Of the fleet as coon as possible. The plans, how
ever, will not be ready for months to come, and
some three years will have to elapse before the yes
sells can be fit for service thus rendering it certain
that 1866 will come before the formidable craft can
be ready for service. Although the bids were TO
close on the 18th Of April they still open, and
will be 60 for some days. The parties who are will
ling 10 build are:

A Mr. Tufts offered to build one on his own plan.
The price put in for these vessels ranges from four
millions one hundred thousand TO four mllUns four
hundred thousand, Romeo Underhill of New-York,
and Others being the highest. II ten of these yes-
sells were built, at two and quarter millions each,
they would cost nearly years navy estimaie-over
sixty milions-before their armament and general
wants could be supplied, The dimensions of this
feet proposed for will be grester than those Of any
iron.cad yet conceived. ~.
