The board Of officers recently in session at the
Navy Department to determine upon the rank
of staff officers of the navy, having concluded

Engineers Of more than twelve years shall rank
with commanders.
Surgeons, Paymasters, and Chief Engineers of
less than twelve years, and the secretary of the

Passed Assistant Surgeons and First Assistant
Assistant Engineers shall rank next after Lieu
tenants.
Assistant Surgeons, Assistant Paymasters, and
Second Assistant Engineers shall rank next after
Masters.
Third Assistant Engineers shall rank with

Of August 18th, 1854, and March Sd, 1850. The
rank held by staff officers for several years past

proved by Congress.
