Commodore Hall, Chief Of the Bureau
of Yards and Docks, gave his opinion as
to the general condition Of the navy,
and the character Of the eight sloops re-
Gently ordered built by Congress. He
was asked:
Q.-What is your opinion OF the ma
terial Of the navy, at present, for war
purposes? Al think that the wooden
ships as destroyers Of an enemy's com
merce, so far as their hulls and sailing
qualities are concerned, are equal to
any ships of the same class in the world,
and probably superior. / cannot say
quite so much In reference to their en-
gines and boilers. / don't think they
compare with either the French or the
English The ironclads for coasting de-
tense, against an enemy not carrying
very heavy guns, are valuable vessels.
/ think they are entirely unfit to go to
sea and / think that against the ord
nance of France, England, Germany,
Italy, and possibly Spain, they are good
for nothing. You will find another
officer to tell you that they viii. whip
any vessel in the world; but that is my
opinion.
On speed and armament, then, you
would say we were deficient? Am

ATTACHMENT WHEN VACATED.

In the suit Of We'll Borchard tried before Judge
Donohue at Supreme Court Special Term, involving an
important question composition proceedings de-
cison was rendered yesterday. The plaintiff sued to
recover $1100, and obtained an attachment under
which the sheriff LEVIED on Insurance moneys due the
defendant In week thereafter the defendant filed
petition in bankruptcy and adjudged a bankrupt.
Thereupon he instituted composition proceedings,
which finally resulted in the entry of the usual order
confirming the same. There was no assignee chosen
and the plaintiff did not prove his debt and claimed
that the attachment making his debt secured
not barred by the composition. The defendant
tended 10 the contrary and also insisted that the at
tachment dissolved by the composition and bank
ruptcy proceedings Judge Donohue, in giving judg-
ment for the plaintiff rendered the following opnon:-

and defendant denies such security, defendant claiming
that the BANKRUPTCY proceedings avoided the attachments
