Although it bean no signature, it is evidently the production of one well known to his fellow-citisens by his ardent and effective efforts in improving the construction of oar steam reavole, and to retain for our Navy the ei -•-- , elted reputation which it bee held throughout the world, since the organization of our Government, and especially since the war 011812. The ose of steam in the war vessels of the maritime powers of Europe, leaves our Government no niterna• tine but to follow their example, and to construct, with all possible despatch, sub a number of steam ships •es will enable us to defend our coasts and harbors, at least, against the new and formidable instruments of warfare, with which the ingenuity of European en• glneera is constantly busy—nod which cannot be resisted with any hope of success, artless by a result to a similar description of armament. It is unnecessary to speak of the vast advantage it would be to our country, if she could draw from the, inventive genius of her own citizens, and from her awn resources, the plans and the mesas of resisting the novel and tremendous weapons of offence now posses sed by the powers of the old world. It is true that we might derive from Europe, by plying enough for them, engineers and mechanics who would build steam ships for us, after the models adopted there. But eve. ry consideration of expediency, as well as the pow etful feeling of national pride would forbid a resort to such a measure, if it could be avoided. If we build steam ships exactly after the models of those now in use in Europe, it is probable that after a few years we should have to throw them aside for some improve ment—for that branch of invention is yet in its infan y. Besides oar people. solar in their career, have been isble to keep pace with their European competi tors in every branch of mechanicaiscienee,and with the lights they have, and the aptness they have already discovered for developing the capacities of steam, In particular, they may produce some new inveition is that department that which prove superior to any thing that European skill and silence can effect. It is the opinion of many, competent to judge oft such matters, that iron vessels, built upon Captain nuarrit's plan, will be found superior to ever) other kind of offensive steam craft now upon the Walert.— Of its capacities we aro not competent tojudge, but in the paper we refer to, its advantages and the defects of the other plans are strikingly portrayed. One thing u certainly shown: that, no-matter what motive pow er is used for war vessels, they should bo built of lees and every one who wishes to see the resources of ti.ei west developed, must look with laves- on any plan that I promises to bring out those resources. It is einally ! certain dint the West is at place to build iron ships, and that the ilea prevalent a few years ago, that nol naval armament could be well balk except on the sea board, is quite exploded. We hens strong reason', to believe that the arguments in favor of Iron steam; era. will be considered conclusivo by the committees of Co .- ogress who have-1110, matter in charge, and that they will 'dissermi - ie that none but trite steamers shell be hulk., ' Whitesent this subject. A4O MOst say one word of • i letter relihiielied is the Cincinnati G rzet te of Jun. '2.1, attacking Capt HUIATI.FeII plan fur building steam vessels. The writer, in ministerieg, to a narrow par- I titan feeling, seems to forgot that be is dealing a se sere blow to western interests. We are astonished that the editor of the Gazette should not have seen the Injudicious nature of this attack, and excluded it from his columns. Capt Hearse should not receive this treatment From those who wish well to the Well. We earnestly commens this paper on national de fences to the atteotiun of our readers. Tug POLICg CONIMITTLI —The Gazette comes to the defence of the Police Committee, and the night Police, but it carefully avoids denying any of the charges we made against them. We take the follow• log from the Gazette's article: 'The Post says the Night Policeis ouches the May or can repose no confidence in. Why? Have the ) over disobeyed his commands? They are under hi. control; has ho ever found them wanting in their du• ty? Are they not respectable men and good officer.? Why then has he no confidence in them? "The Post says they "seize every opportunity to Insult him, and throw contempt upon his authority." The truth of this assertion we beg leave to doubt. If the Post can prove one single instance of insult or eon• tempt of the authority of the Mayor, by any member of the Night Police, we pledge our word fur it, they will be removed. The Post shocld also recollect, that chan ge• in the Night Police have heretofore been made in June, and the Police Committee would be guilty of injustice to make changes in January or February,' without just cause." If the Gazette makes the above enquiries to elicit , Information, we can tell him that they have disobeyed the Mayor's commands, that they have been found wanting in their duty, and jibe wants any corrobora tion of these charges, we would ask him to enquire of the Police Committee, as to the °store of the cons• plaint/ which were laid before them at a recent meet• fog against swine of the officers of the night Police. If a single instance of the improper conduct of these men will satisfy the Gazette, we would like to know if he thinks they were doing their duty when they dis- charged a band of midnight rowdies, who had been apprehended while committing an outrageous viola tion of the peace, from the watch house, without pet• mitting the Mayor to investigate their conduct? This la a "single Instance" of contempt of the Mayor's au thority, which we tkink should induce any good citi zen to demand the instant removal of the officers guilty of it, but notwithstanding this, with many others equally flagrant, were brought to the notice of the po llee Committee they still persist in keeping the offend. ere in office, and deprive the Mayor of the privilege of having subotdinauas who will not permit midnight brawlers of any class or party, to escape unpunished . The assumptionof the Gazette, that it would be wrong to remove these men in January or February, because it has been the custom heretofore, to snake removals from the night police in June, strikes us as a very singular rule to adopt in the management of the police department of our city. If it could be shown that every merlon the night police, had been guilty of theft, riot and every other kind of misdemeanor, pun ishable by the laws of our city according to the rule of the Gazette, not one ,of them could be 'discharged before June, as it would be doing grest"injustice." — If such were the established policy of the Police Corn• mitten, it would place the promo of the city, and the safety of the citizens, in great jeopardy. Bet it is pot. None of the whig Mayors who have been elec. led for some years past, followed it, nor did Mr. 'toward end the whig Committee of last year, when they discharged five watchmen a few days before the late Mayor's election, because it was supposed they did-not intend to vote the whig ticket. There was not the shadow of a charge against Ray one of theta men ff!MffEW and yet it does nut appear tbatthe Committee thought they were doing great "injustice" by discharging them before J une. - _ If our cotemporary will make himself acquainted with tlic nature of the charges that have been tnado against these men, we feel certain that ho will not only find that there is ample cause for demanding their re moval, but that he, as a friend to the "supremacy of the laws," will join with us in requiring that theb places shall be filled by some persons more trustwor thy and replan! for the peace and order of the city. SoUND THIC ALARM.—WS learn that there is to be a meeting of Councils tonight, to take into consider mien a raw plan for conducting the Water Works, which, we are told, will increase the Water Tex, 50 per cent! New officers are to be elected, the salaries of which will amount to $2,000! It is supposed that the object is to provide for some of the hangers on around tho Msyor's Office, under the late regime. The people of all parties will of course oppose this outrageous proposition. Let them encase their con damnation in a pointed manner. Correspondence of the "Morning Post." HarrisburgA, Feb. 9tb, 1846 The Railroad bill N ill again be under discussion in the Senate to cloy. The first question will be on the indefinite postponement of the bill. This will be voted down.

But, with the model and drawings before us, let us pass to the judgment of tide plan by the standard determined upon. A cruising sea steamer on this plan pouches all Ilia sailing qualities of the ship. because all het steam M nliVe•power is wholly within the vessel, no part of it protruding from the hull, es a glance it the model shows; it therefore offer, no more retistance to her postage through the water than so much cargo would, do. Eeperience hns demonstrated that, with steam power alone, she has accomplished a speed equal to that of aty other see steamer in all weathers at sea. Her two powers of steam and sails are entirely Independent of and in no manner interfere with, each other; and yet they harmonize so perfectly, that both may be used. together with the fullest effect. Hot steam motive-power is invulnerable by shot, bet , cause it is beneath all her decks, below the waterline, end is protected by the shield deck. 'Far the same; reneens it leave, her decks free and unencumbered for tae use of her buttery, which, in proportion to her ton- I cage, may eve' that of a o ship afloat. The ma. l chine exercises so absolute a cotitrul over her, that she maybe steered by the throttle valves and stetting ! bars of the engine, and 'nay therefore dispense with, the rudder. The lateral horizontal action of her pro., pellers enables her to tom on. the centre of a circle.

UPON A PROPER STEAM NAVY, •nD ITS oIIGANIZATIoII The present threatening aspect of the political hnri• son Misdirected the attention of the republic too consid eration other power and available means to maintain her righta, and to repel any resistance which may be offered to the lion or full exercise of them. This consideration ha. presented itself for the Wl,llOllll de. liberation of the esecative and legislative Wenches of the government, and of the supreme embodiment of ail government—the penile. A common result has been attained nt their delihertitions by each and all of these. It is a settled conviction of the power of the republic to mantain herself against all and every foe; of her exhaustless yet dormant resources, and of the neeessity which exists fur rendering these immediate ly available, to guard against the spirit of aggression upon her ten itoty, and of hostility to the extension of her principles, which are daily being manifested too significantly 1.1 be misunderstood. With this convic tion came the question, bow shall these resources be so applied as to render thorn most available for these purposes. A similar unanimity of opinion among all these classes Imo determined that it shall be by a ”steem-rnsvy." The questioa, then, now under con sideration is, What manner of steam-navy shall this be, and what shall be its organization? To determine this, it is necersary that wo should know what constitute the indispensable qualifies. 0000 for a cruising sea-steamer adapted to all the uses end purposes of war. To our mind they ore these: A perfact cruising spaereamer, to bn available in all parts of the maritime coast of the United States, is a vesselevbich shall unite all the sailing qualities of the ship with the greatest possible speed to be attain ed by the steam vessel him:ill weathers at sea; the two Owen', 'teem and sails, to be entirely indepen• dent el, and in noirtantier - to interfere with, each otte tr. Her steam motive•rower phobia be invulnerable to shot; should in no wiseinterfisrewith het battery; whilst its control otter the vessel should loci') absolute, as to so M=l.M a ble her to manatuvre perfectly without the use of red• der. sails, or Roy other power than itself. She should be able to carry a battery, in proportion to her tonnage, equal to that of any ship afloat. Her capacity should enable her to carry all the cep- 1 plies and stores now used, and a sufficiency of fuel fur the longest cruise. She should ho built of a material that will dprive the Paixhan, or horizental shell, of its destructive charac ter when used against her. The draught of water should permit her to cross the ' bars of the Mississippi, Savannah, and Charleaton, and lender available all the chief intermediate ports for I defence, supplies, or repairs. Yeast:Wised of all these properties, she should still be fit to make one of the lino of battle. The vessel possessing all these separate qualifica tions in their fullestextent, will be, at the prefect time, the most perfect sea-steamer. Having thus determined what are the essentials of a perfect cruising arssteamer, contrast the qualifica tion of the national sea steamers of the world with these fined essential+, and judge of them by this standard. So far as we have had the means of ascertaining. there ate but two principles of pi npulsion now 05041 in oeean.cteamers, whether national or private; these are, the vertical cr aide wheel, and the various mech. .fications of the screw. The side wheel steamer, as measured by the stand ard we have determined upon, is found to be deficient in the following points, and moat therefore be lurked upon as not possessing the qualtfications essential in a cruising sea going steamer. She does not possess the sailing qualities of the ship, because her massive whoethouaes, wheel-gum - de, and paddle-wheels unfit heeler the efficient use of canvass. She is therefore compelled is heavy weather at sea to resort to the use of sterna. At such times her ape.d must of necessity be slow, and her steam be reduced Ito the smallest quantity capable of keeping the vessel under control•, because the roll of the sea will immerse one wheel so deeply, and lift the other so high out of the water, that there will be no resistance offered to this, whilst the other will be so deeply immersed es to lose its power, hence tire efficiency of both to propel is destroyed. This irregular action of the sea upon the wheels being imparted to the machine exactly in proportion to the resistance offered to each wheel, would, under fall steam. so rock the machine es to break it down—heoce, the necessity of the lowest pow er agleam that will keep the seas•! nnder ceintrol— und consequently a diminution of speed to mere stoat age way. For the same reasons the Iwo pewees of steam and sail cannot be used together to her, with full effect. Her tneehine is exposed to the fire of an enemy, bc• CAUse her shaft is of necessity elevated nearly the semi diameter of her wheel above the waterline. Her wheel and shaft are therefore sulnerable by 'hog fur the same reason, the necessary connesionh l etween her shaft and machinery cannot be protected. The midship portion of her deck, being occupied by her wheel houses and wheel guarde, she is compel-1 n.l to mount her buttery on her extremities, where 1 she to least able to carry it. Sill is d. pendent upon her rudder to control her course and onnl,lo her to manreuv re, because the irreg. II:0f action of the sea will flirt permit her to discon nect her wheels. au as to apply rho power to them re she saves also that of her prepeliers, which Bolt with a buoyancy equal to their own weight, and that of their shafts, cranks, and connecting rods. Hence, be• rules her ordinary stores and supplies. she is enabled to carry all this saving of tonnage in fuel, of which, having an unobstructed use of her sails, she is enabled to carry a sufficiency for the longest cruise. She is built of iron; her sides not being half on inch in thickness the Paishati or horizontal shell cannot therefore become imbedded in them, and is conso• qaently divested of itadestructive character whenused against her. • Her draught of water is so light (it never exceed. ing 16 feet in the largest class vessel, fully fitted and equipped to make ,me of the line of battle) that she can enter all our southet n harbors, sad be madeevail• able fur protectinn and &fence.' Our first elassahips cannot now enter into one of these south alike Chess- peke. Besides these qualities, which our standard o' efficiency has declared to be indispensablaain a cruis ing sea going steamer, and which we have shown the plan of vessel I propose to pessess in an eminent de gree, there are many oilier advantages claimed for it. Not the least of these is the feet their light draught of water will permit them to be built on all the nav igable tributaries to the Mississippi. from the head waters of the Ohio down. The honks of these streams are filled with the coal and iron necessary to their construction; their borders abound with the ar tisans skilled by long habit In working the and, employed in the navigation of these great rivers, are 32,000 seamen, ready to (MP the ships after they shall be built, who have already gone through the initiatory school of discipline to prepare and qualify them for service in this new and controlling system of naval defence. Communications upon this and other points connected with this subject have be m made heretofore to Congress and published, to which reference is now respectfully made.—See Douse Doc. No. 189, 3d session 27th Congress; Senate Doc. No.---, 3d ses sion 27th Congress. This meaner of ettanser, then, combining all the requisites of a perfect sen-cruiser, there scan be no question that it is the description of vessels which roust be used to accomplish the greet ends the nation has in view. Now, then, is the Limo for their construc tion, sad they may be built anywhere where the great rut facilities can be found within our broad expanse of territory, from the head waters of all the navigable tributaries of the Mississippi to the easternmost ex tremity riour Atlantic seaboard. If we bans found, then, the manner of steam-navy which will protect us against rival national animosi ties, whether induced by jealousy of our institutions, or of our wonderfully matured greatness, by our ten i torial expansion, or the commanding influence these must necessarily exercise over the governmeres of the earth, and one which will enable us to oppose a con trolling tome to ell resistance oiftred. no matter in whet shape, to the extension of the principles of self government on thisconticent, the only remaining point to be determined is, what shall be the manner of or ganisation for the personnel of this steam-navy, to actors fur it the greatest ploisible degree of efficacy?

Doctor Dog's Tonic sad Asti-Dyspeptic TT ham at all time* been an object of peculiar kw portanee to the medical world to discover some medicine or combination of medicines, .which would operate in such a manner as to cleanse the stomach and intestines of all irritating matter, and not debili• tate them. For the want of such medicine, phytici ass have rarely been able to cure a case of confirmed dyspepsia or initgestioo, to COO which the whole ma feria medica has been tried; from the most powerful articles down to charcoal sad wheat bran. A ternporory relief in sad; cases is sometimes pro cured by the use of common emetic* and purgatives, but the debility of the stomach and bowels produced by these medicines, soon brings a return of the distres sing symptoms, even aggravated, and often the reme dy has been worse on the constitution than the dis ease. These pills are offered to the public with the confi dence, produced by long experience in practice, that they will operate gently as a purgative, and effectually elennie the stomach and bowels, without producing sickness, nausea or debility. They can be used at all times, by persons of all ages, without regard to diet, drink, or exposure to wet or cold. They generally improve the appetite, and in one hour after they are taken, and are the best preventive of those diseases generally termed bilious. A few boxes of these pills are usually sufficient to remove the most confirmed Dyspepsia with all its d istressing symptoms, such as sickness and sourness of the stomach, loss of °petite, habitual costiveness, cholie. despondency of mind, and a host of nervous affections, with which every person laboring under the disease is more or less afflicted. As complaints are sometimes made of disappoint • ment in the operation of these pills, owing to the im f proper use or administration of them, as to- time, quantity and age of the patient, we hove published a pamphlet, in which is set forth mom fully the proper manner of using the pills, together with some of the diseases in which they ate moat applicable. rarThese pills will rarely operate u a purgative if more than one pill be taken at a dose.
