The navy list shows the British navy to con-
tain, at present in commission, 240 steamships
of all sizes, from the stately three,decker down
to the tiny gunboat These mount between
2S0 and 24o guns; they are mannedby about
$4,000 men and boys, and are propelled by a
steam-power exceeding 10000 horses nominal.
In addition, there are 4S sailing vessels, mount
ing upwards of GOO guns. and manDed by about
$500 men and boys. The Sailing vessels are
naturally only fit for barbor duty and training
ships. They are never intendedto go to sea
again, and, therefore, should not be regarded
as belonging to the effective naval force.

decinedt TO do, stating that he would recapture

NO COMMUFATIoN.
From the Tribune.

FROM the Tribune
1t is settled there is to be no commutation.-
The House yesterday passed the bill of Mr.. smith
ers, OF Delaware. which provides substantially -
That the President may at any time call for any
number of volunteers for one, two, or three years
That IN case the quota ofany town shall not be
filed within sixty days after the CALL the Presi-
dent may order draft for one year to FIJI that
quota.
That in case of a draft there shall be no exemp-
ton by the payment of money.
Bounties are offered for volunteers or substi-
tutes-$200 for one year, $500 for two years. S400
for three years
So much we collect from the imperfect telegraph
c summary The essential feature of the bill is
of course the repeal of the exemption clause-or
rather, that is the point on which most of the con-
troversy turned
The Senate passed bill recently for the achieve
ment of the same object, but the House has thrice
refused to accede, voting the other day by one
hundred to fifty in favor of retaining The eommu-
tation. Now that the two branches are recomciled
on this vital question, presume they viii spec
Oily be at accord on matters of detail and that one
or the other bill will be a law,
1t is no secret that the change of front in the
House is due to the urgent representations of the
Executive The system heretofore existing was
deemed failure. The Government got money
and not men. Hence the argument addressed to
members of Congress has been:-If you mean the
war shall go on you must grant the power to draft
compulsorily-in other words, you must give the
Government the power to fill its armies speedily,
and to keep them full And the House has Yield
ed to this urgency, mpelled by the patriotic con-
victon that the Executive entitled to the grant of
snch authority as in its view was necessary for
the suppression of the Rebellion
Heretofore it was believed that wise admins
tration Of the law would secure all the men needed
but we now have the assurance Of the military au-
thorities that it was insufficient and since the Exc
cutive requires the power of absolute draft it
should be granted That the men and all the men
needed TO crush the Rebellion must be had some-
how, all loyal men have always insisted. The
question of means is less essential
1t is of course, understood that the power which
is now put into the hands of the Government is to
be effectualy sed. The law is to be put in force
and there is no longer any excuse, if there ever
were, for misapprehension on the part of the peo-
pie or indecision on the part of the Government
The nation, by the voice of its representatives,
offers its whole strengthto the Executive What
it asks in return is that its magnificent gift shall
not have been given in vain
