The Great Naval Feok.
JFrom the N. Z. Herald. 1Oth.l


The proximity to our shores Of the pirate
Alabama prevented rs d few weeks since from
duly reporting the accomplishment OF naval
feat unparalleled In the constructing history
Of the United States Navy. It was nothing
less than the building Of an iron clad vessel
of-War for the protection Of the coast Of Cali
tofnia, and the subsequent separation Of her
different sections, and their shipment tor San
Francisco. Had the Alabama and Tacony
oeen aware Of the fact, they would probably
nave watched vessel carrying the iron clad
hut even then they would find her minus some
OF her most important parts, which were sent
overland. The name Of the Iron clad is Ca
manche. She was built BY the Mess,s. Secor,
Of Je1sey City-Senator Ryan, Of California
being one Of the chief contractors.
The process oftaking ship apart WAS nerer
attempted in this navy before, and was emf.
nently successful In this case, every bolt being
put in its place before single particle Of the
hull Was taken down. Whensthe different
portions Of the work Of building Were finished
the Camanche, resting on the stocks In Jer-
sey city, presented the appearance Of an En-
lesson battery almost ready for service. Rear
Admiral Gregory inspected the hull before
its separation, and reported to the Navy De-
partment the complete success Of the expert
Ment. Orders to take the vessel apart Were
then issued By LII. BiEkbeck, who superinten-
ded the construction of the ship, and the
thing was no sooner said than done. 4 YES
Sci was then chartered to carry the divided
battery to Mare Island Maynard, where her
guns will be mounted, and her commission
filed In the service Of the United States Of
America.

An English paper says: The steady appre-
ciatfon Of 1ndia cotton is one Of the most in-
teresting features Of the day. For years the
prediction was freely indnlged in that India
cotton would never be largely consumed by
the manufacturers Of this country, and that,
If the supply from America fell of, our mills
would stop, Indian kinds being quite uu-
suitable to them. In: what state should
We be now were it. not for this desptsed
Indian cotton, seeing that it forms the bulk
Of what our mills are running upony Let tho
prices speak for themselves. "Fair'' Surat
Is now worth about 18d per pound; at this
date last year, It commanded 871d; In 1861,
sgd; and In 1850, only 43<d. Does not this
enormous advance in price speak volumes for
the favor which aurat cotton receives and de-
serves, in spite of all that has been said to the
contrary? In Madras and other kinds Of East
Indian cotton, the advance has been propor-
Gonate. Let it not be said that India will not
prosper under such state of things as this,
No country can fail to derive benefit when the
price Of one Of its staple productions rises
fouEold, and this IN market possessing SO
vast 3 capacity Of consumption that it can
take all that Is produced and still cries for
more. It appears from official data, that In
Madras Presidency alone there we're, up to
last March, ], ,266, GOO acres OF land under cot
ton cultivation, against 933. 600 acres In 1869,
go that, with q Satisfactory eeason, there Is
every promise Of m increase Of at least one
third In the production Of this description Of
cotton Considering this increase ia the pro-
trct1on and the accompanying great advance
In the price, 1t seems certain that q further
vast impulse must be given to tbs deYelon-
ment OF the prosperity Of India,
