THE UNITED STATES NAVY.

The report Of the Secretary of the Nav,
shows the navy to be in a remarkably eificien,
condition, both rs regards the number O.
vessels, their armament and sea-goine quail
ties. One year ago the navy consisted OF 1G5
vessels OF all classes armed with 1869 guns,
exclusive Of howitzers. Since that time there
have been added to it eight new steam sloops.
two torpedo vessels and one dispatch boat,
and 1t has been diminished by the sale Of two
wooden and eleven light -draught iron vessels,
leaving rs the present number 1853 vessels
with 1854 guns, the armament having been
slightly increased by the increase in the num-
Der Of guns on the new ships
OF this whole number &c have sail power
only, and Of these four are to be placed at the
disposal of State and local authorities as
school or training ships under the direction
OF the act OF Congress providing for such
disposition. Seven are in use only as receiv-
ing ships, two are old line OF battle ships
which have been on the stocks for many years,
and eight are Of the old type and in bad con
iition, and can be used only for barracks or
stationary school ships leaving five which
can be put to practical use OF sea as store
ships. transports, or surveying vessels.
OUR STEAM NAVY
consists Of 137 vessels OF all classes and in
every condition. OF this number TWENTY-FIVE
are tugs used, With one OF two exceptions.
for yard purposes ,hirty-seyen are ar
mored vessels, and two are torpedo boats,
leaving seyenty-three steam vessels, originally
Of a class adapted for cruising These are
classified af pracant f.,1lorc.

FOUL PLAY.-Some who have speculation
IN their eye are on the look out for cheal
bargains. There was sad experience of this
| mania at the residence OF DR.. Mas. No. 6:
! Dauphlne street. where some one who has nc
! conscience or did not expect to be invited tC
the family Christmas dinner, entered the
yard at the dead hour Of midnight and de-
| spoiled the madame of some OF her cherished
| poultry, on which she fondly hoped to regale
