- Bran had a powerful fleet, to meet the
dreaded Eipanish Armada. Under the
STUARTS, the sovereignty of the seas
was reluctantly ceded by the Dutch,
and the French followed suit in 1704.
Tt was under the monarchs of the
imported line of GUBLPR that "the wooden
- walls of old Englarid " were more particu
larly looked after and maintained. In
1813, when England was engaged in her
second contest with u 3, she had 1,000 ships
(256 of the line), measuring about 900,000
tons, and carrying 146,000 seamen and ma
rines, at an annual cost of eighteen millions,
sterling. At that time the United s
bad but the nucleus of a navy, . - . e beat
the English. Four years a -. commenced
a series of changes which , ave made the
French equal, at least I the English navy,
and lug . .. • . • American the greatest
-- in •tile world. The " wooden Walls," esti
mated at having cost over $59,000,000, have
become practically useless, except, perhaps,
to be used as transports in aid of the iron
clads. s•
The Rev. Dr. C. B. BOYNTON has pub
lished an extract from a forthcoming
volume on English and French neutrali
• ty and the Anglo-French Affiance, a
pamphlet entitled " The Navies of Eng
land, France, America, and Russia," the
object of which is to show, from official'
documents, what is the actual status of
each nation WKS maritime power. Taking
his facts, scrupulously - compiled with much
care, we find a great deal to be proud of,
as a leading maritime nation. We have
been raised to this elevation since the re
,bellion began, and are not likely to abtli
bate IL The cost of creating a-great navy
has been considerable—from sixteen to
twenty million dollars more than England
has paid in all, and disbursed in less than
four years, while the British navy has been
the gradual growth of many generations—
but we have it, and it is of first quality.
On the other hand, England has over a
thousand ships-of-war, out of which only
twenty-one are armor-plated. The re
maining vessels, constructed of wood or
thin iron, are of so little value that Sir
Jowls C. HAY, chairman of the' Govern
ment committee to make experiments on
the effects of artillery upon iron armor,
emphatically declared, " The man who goes
into action in a wooden ship is a fool, and
the man who sends him there is a villain."
No matter how large the wooden ship, she
is powerless against a properly armored
vessel.
In the Crimean war, it was noticed that
iron-clad batteries could, without injury,
sustain a fire that would be utterly de
' - structive to wooddn vessels. This gave a
hint to Nanonicon, who, in 1858, ordered
the construction of four iron.plated frigates,
and the example was followed, rather tar
dily, by England. There has been great
emulation in England and France, re
spectively, as to which Power should have
the largest armor-plated force. France
has the superiority in number • but though
she has ninety-four iron-clad in all, only
seventeen are ocean -going ships, against
twenty-one English, the remaining se
venty-seven vessels being merely swim
ming batteries • for harbor defence and small
gunboats. Russia, which was not much
burthened with a dead stock on hand of
useless "wooden walls," has begun the
construction of an iron -clad fleet, to be
composed mainly, at first, of ships of the
Monitor class—wanting to protect her har
bors against the iron-clads of France and
England, at one-fourth of the cost of con
structing the Warrior or the Minotaur.
The United States navy: consists of 671
vessels, of which seventy are iron-clads—as
against 21 English and 17 French ocean
going iron-clads. In round numbers the
respective navies may be thus recapitulated,
Including all classes of ships, gunboats for
harbor defence, and floating batteries, and
excluding small gunboats, transports, dtc.:
England, 669 ships ; France, 482 ; Russia,
- 1 ,50 to 600; United States, 700. We have

oil
ar e comparatively small foreign guns are
biefly valued on their penetrating power,
tirhile our larger ordnance is distinguished
'for its smashing power. This was shown,
not long ago, at Washington Navy Yard,
when "a six-inch solid plate matufac
trued at a celebrated establishment in
France, was shot through and broken into.
fragments, at the first discharge from a
fifteen-inch gun." They know nothing
abroad of guns 'of that calibre ' carrying
450-pound shot. The foreign iron-clads
are defective in one essential respect—
they are only partially armor-plated
the bow and the stern of wood. A
ball which can shiver a solid six•
inch plate into fragments would soon
carry destruction into the vulnerable parts
of a partially armored ship. At this mo
ment, we have three times as many iron
plated vessels as England possesses - most of
them equal to her boasted Warrior, and it
has been said by J. SCOTT RUSSELL, the
builder of the Great Eastern, that a fleet of
* twenty Warriors would be more formida
ble than the whole of England's wooden
ships put together.
It is to the disadvantage of the French
and English iron-clads that their qualities
have not yet been tested in battle. Ours
have, Ours are
,new creations, and new
principles of construction have been ap
plied to them. In March, 1861, when Mr.
LINCOLN entered ( Ince, our navy consisted
of only 46 vessels—we now have 671;
.car
rying 4,610 guns, and with 510,000 tons
' of aggregate tonnage.- We have ven
tured on new terms when building'
our war ships, and have adopted a
kind of cannon befare untried. Other -na
vies may carry a greater number of guns
but two of, our fiftem-inch.Calibre gam
might destroy the whole of such a fleet as
NELSON won Trafalgar with. We , have
studied and acquired the principle of invul
nerability, and our war•steamera are not
surpassed for rapid sailing.- Our commer
cial marine even now is.greater than that
of England, and our national navy is al
ready more than a match for the utmost
force she could bring against us. The com•
bined fleets of France and England, if
brought near our coasts, with hostile pur
poses, must be annihilated. In a fair, stand
up contest we should certainly destroy
them. Our American navy, then, is justly
the wonder of the world. Happily for,the
nations, we are not inclined to employ it
for conquest. Our power is placid in its
greatness.

SECRETARY SEWARD GONE TO ANNA

Their Arrival There. and - Advent in
Waabiegton Hourly Expected.
Yesterday It was asserted that the Elohmond pa
pers of Monday would oontain an explicit state
ment that commisSionent had departed from Mott
mond for Washington. ' This assertion has been
verified in the following extract from the Riohinend
Sentinel of that day, which gives the names of the
commissioners, the objects fur which they were ap
pointed, and the InstruotlOris under which they act.
The &nand says
"Meagre. A. H. Stephens, R. M. T. Ranter, and
James A. Campbell left Richmond yesterday morn
ing, on their way to Washington to confer with Pro
elderit Lincoln on the subject or putting an end to
the war, if possible.
11 The circumstances undei ithlohthelle gentlemen
have departed on their mission ire understood to be
as follows :
Mr. F. P. Blair having 'sought an unofficial and
confidential Interview with President Davis, depart.
ed for Washington with an assurance that our Pre
sldent•would be willing at any time, without any
obstacle of form, to send agents Or commissioners to
Washington to confer about tonne of pewee, if in
formed In advance that the said commissioners
would be received. On Mr. Blair's second visit to
Richmond he brought the consent of Mr. Lincoln to
receive and confer with any agents Informally sent
With a view to the restoration of peace. The throe
gentlemen who left yesterday, were thereupon se.
looted by the President, and they 'have gone with
out formal credentials, and merely as informal
agents, to see whether It be possible to place a con
ference for.peaee on any baste which may serve for
attaining ao desirable a result.
"It Is poseible that gnomes May attend theSe
effoita, but wisdom and prudenee demand that we
Indfilge in no confident expectations on the subject,
and pat we relax not one moment In energetiO pre
parations for the ensuing campaign. From the
choice made by the President, we may rest .assured
that no means will be left untried to obtain It.
But if the three eminent citizens seleoted for the
purpose shall fail in the attempt, one good result
will certainly have been reached. All discordant
counsels on this subject will have beeonie 'aeon
lied, and it will no longer be in the power of the
factious or the timid to persuade the people that
peace can be reached by any path other than that
opened for us by stout hearts and stout hands.”
Some of the other papers call attention to what
they call afortultons oireumstanos—peace commis
sioners departing on Sunday, a day or peace. The
commissioners went to l'etersberg, to pass through
Grant's lines, as the subjoined rebel despatoh tes
tifies :
"Tumuli:usel P Vs. Jan. 30.—Nessre. Stephen.,
Bunter, and Campbell, oommissionere, are in the
city,. and will be passed by flag of truce through.
Bushrod Johnson's lines to-morrow. Their mission
exelies much comment."
On the same day they made an effort to go
through the lines, witheritstr-dilleirerdoriefFend
enco from Greastdfaray tells :
9.• flag of truce appeared on the line
in trent of Peterellarg, occupied by the 9111 Corps;
and a message was sent in for permission to allow
A. H. Stephens and B. Pd. T. Hunter, commis
sioners from the Southern Confederacy, to pass
through the lines for the purpose of premed.:
leg to Washington,' sdpposed to be for the pur
pose of proposing terms of peace to or a con.
ference with the Government at Washington.
Owing to some misunderstanding they did not come
through our lines, but It is expected the matter will
be arranged and they will arrive to-day (Tuesday),
and at once be conveyed to Washington on a special
boat?'
When we add to the fact that the commissioners
have really been appointed by Davis, and really
started on their way, the other fact detailed in the
following despatch, peace negotiations• and all the
rumors thereto attached assume consistency :
BALTMORB, Feb.l.—The Annapolis correspond
ent of the Baltimore Americas announces the ar
rival at that city this morning of Secretary Seward,
accompanied by his private secretary Chew. They
immediately left for Fortress Monroe on General
Grant's despatch steamer, to meet the rebel oom-
nalesioners. They were met at the depot by Gen.
Berry, and escorted to the Executive Chamber,
where they were welcomed by Gov. Eradford.n
There were some premature announoemento yes
terday that the commissioners; had actually arrived
in Washington. But there Is no confirmation of
this assertion. On the contrary, despatches from
the centre for amok news (Baltimore) up to mid
night and early this morning, say that they have
not yet arrived, and that no farther latelligence
could be received to-night (last night) from Anna
polia, 'where the COMMIEMIOIIOrB are to laud.
The question of their arrival in WaShington la ef
feetually set at rest by the following despatch, the
very latest, reoetved by us direct from Washington
at two o'clock this morning :
" WASHINGTON, Feb. I.—The city has been much
excited all day by the Intelligence respecting the
pouthern peace commissioners, and reports were
constantly put in circulation and as often contra
dicted that they had actually arrived here. One
of these reports originated with a porter of a hotel,
who said he was perfectly familiar with their faces ,
but who mistook a party of three gentlemen return
ing from a lecture In Baltimore for the commis
sioners."

A letter from TwORAs BROWN, special agent of
the Treasury Department, urges the release of the
arms ostensibly for Liverpool, under the present
modified order allowing re-exportation of arms to
the original place of shipment. The Collector of
the Port refused to allow their clearance, under a
construction of the President's order:, and claimed
that the arms were Intended for Mexico. The Sur
veyor General, E. F. BxALL, urged personally the
clearance, on the ground of aid to the Mexican
Republic against monarchy. The clearance was
not allowed.
The .arme, It appears, were for General VEGA,
and Consist of 208 cases . of muskets, originally im
ported Into Nei York by L. MARX it Co., from
Hamburg.

THE POW PARK RETTRTRD FAVORABLY
The bill to compel the Councils of Philadelphia
tapurchaseland on the western bank of the Schuyl
kill for a public park has been reported Efavorably
by the committee that had it in charge. Council
man F.vans was up here yesterday, but not on this
bustness, and the inquiry is naturally made, What
has become of the " City Fathers" who were autho
rized to come here and remonstrate I Surely, they
cannot desire that the bill shall pass; but If not,
why so negligent and seemingly careless I
The next move will doubtless be to rush the bill
through the hlouse. Mr. Miller is the member who
offered it, and it is presumed he will nurse his bant
ling until It attains the proper maturity, and, being
a surveyor by profession, he certainly should know
whether its length and depth, and the peoullar
• twists and turns of its boundary lines, are conform
able to the rules of surveying. Strange to say, al
though it has been here for weeks, it Is utterly ha.
possible to find out from any one—member or eivi-
Itan-;-what sum of money is demanded for the pro
perty. Surely, Such information should be given to
the taxpayers who are to suffer from this great and
forced expenditure of city funds.

the Sixty Rays ending

We extract the following names.of the Pennsyl
vania., New jersey, Delaware, and regular soldiers
who died at Salisbury, N. 0., from a list published
in the New York Tribune,
which that paper states
Is complete. for the period named above, and was
copied from the hospital books, which were kept
under the supervision of one of the Tribune corr.-
epondents. 'rho deaths among those who were called
the " oubdoor patients" (because unable to obtain
admission even to the wretched places which, by a
perversion of language, are called hospitals,) were
numerous, and eotdd never all be obtained, as no
record was kept of them except when their names
were voluntarily brought to the clerks of the hospi
tals by their surviving friends. In Many =Ms the
prisoners, were not -aware of the arrangement by
which the record of the dead was attempted to be
kept, and, therefore, neglected to report their
names ; in others, they voluntarily withheld the
names, that, pinched with hunger a 8 they - were,
they might di aw the rations Of their late comrades.
On the day , of Mr..Riahardeon'e escape, he was un
able to obtain access to the book containing the im
perfect record of the deaths among the out-door
patients from December 1 to December 18, without
exciting the iffiepleiOn of the prison authorities.
The following Het, therefore, while a complete re*

ITRANCIAL AND COMINERAL
There Wee .a perceptible increase yeetercley in the
amount of the subscriptions to the national loans, not-
witisttending the nneettles , canilition of monetary and
mercantile affairs, occasioned by the renewed rumors
of peace negotiations. The selection of Mr. Jay Cooke
to condact the sale of the 7 PO loan will doebiless prove
of great advantage to the Trawler' , Department. His
great mincers in getting off the 0 20 loan is the beat eri-.
dence of his ability in this res Pest, and under renewed
exertions, and with the facilities he enjoys, he cannot
fail to reach all classes of the people as effectively now
as ever. The national banks were given a fair trial to
push forward this loan. but their efforts did not meek
with that success which the necessities of the Govern
ment required. It is understood that, under the new
beransement, the national banks will continue to re
ive subscriptions as heretofore. rsporting to the Trea
sury Department all salmi up to the 31st of January, and
to the general subscription agent all sales made on and
after February 1. It is confidently expected that this
Crime agency system, which will be greatly ex
tended, will prove 1.10Q119.1.41 to meet all the purposes
of the Government without a resort to other loans.
the appointment of If r..Gooke is received -sverywhere
with satisfaction. The New York TinteB of yesterday
&aye:
The arrangement with Mr Cooke is not an untried
experiment. Mr. Chase tested his indefatigable In
dustry, and ample ability and wonderful tutees. at a
very tattling per tentage, with the five hundred mUtion
leers two years ago, and a subsegaent Congressional
inquiry on this subject, courted by all parties, vin
dicated the wisdom and economy of the negotiation .
The new national banks have since come Into emplay•
n cut as fiscal agents for the loans of the Government.
and very teeny of them have done efficient service, and
nearly all disposed to act in conv e rt with the nego
tiations of the treasury. But with the present popular
81:0 per cent. loan to be diatributed at par, as the
' measure of the Government for raising money beyond
the current receipts from taxation, for the suceport of
the war, the absence of a general bead or backer has
been felt, and the Secretary of the Treasury is entitled
to credit for the geed lodgment (lisp eyed in the se
lection of such an slant in Mr Cooke; and so appoint
ment, we dare say, •nuld be more popular with the
national banks themselves, with whom Mr. C. will ba
in comp,ete accord. both as to compensation and the
financial details of this popular negotiation.
There was rather more doing at the stook board yes
terday at some - improvement in the PrloOt of Govern
ment loans. The 1 le sold at 110 X. an advance of 34;
the 7-Rs at 993 , an Orates of ki. sad the 10.41 s at
10134. an advance of N. The 843 loan was steady at
IC9X. State loans were doll and lower. State 6s sold
at 93, and the War loan Cs at 10036, the latter a decline
of 2X City es were unchanged. Company bonds were
inactive at steady rates. Camden and A mboy 6e of 'B3
sold at 97; North Pennsylvania 63 at 92; Simi's. 7a at
101; Schuylkill Navigation 6s of 'B2 at 80. -For railroad
shares the market was somewhat leregalar, and the
eales light. Pennsylvania Railroad declined 3e; Cats.
wises preferred, 2; Camden and Amboy. X: Reading
was firm at a slight advance, selling at the close at 61X.
There was a fair business doing in oil stocks at steady,
prices. Bank shares were dull. Mechanics' improved
a fraction, selling np to 33. A small lot of Bank of
North America sold at 192. The best bid for Philadel
phia was 140; Farmers' and Mechanics',l4o; Common.
wealth, 111 X; Penn Township , 4.4; Girad, 61; Western
at 118, and. Bank of Commerce 70. The mining and
navigation stocks were very dull. Big Mountain Coal
sold at 63X, and Shamokin at 141:.
