No more effective ships can be found jm any navy, and they are well adapted for opera- tions anywhere. Bhey have great power and are econo mica] coal burners. Hence they can remam longer on a cruise, without necding supplies of fuel, than any otber ‘vessels we have. MRON-CLAD VEOSBLS. It is folly yet to form any opinion respecting the sea- gommg quaktfications of any of the iron-clad veenels yet built im thie country. The New Ironsides has yet to be tested, and the report of her officers is looked forward to with anxiety, as On it will depend the construction of others ef a similar class. For smooth water and harbor defenee nothing oan excel the plan of Mr. Ericason. With a fleet of vessels on his plan guarding oer seaports, we may be easy about the satety of large cities.

On board effective ships. And what soryice havo they rendered? Tho capture of a fow paltry prizes that will mot begin to paya mking the capture: embarrass every admiral or @ommodore on whose they belong; for they Count 60 many, and, yet aro not of tho valua of one fast Gleamor. Attached to the-Kastern Gulf squadron there are no lose than eight sailing yossels, that, togethor, oa- pecially during the summer season, are not ef tho yaluo of one armed ferryboat. These vesselg coat the Government One hundred and thirty-two thousand dol- lars, besides alterations; and yot tho forryboat Clifton, which cust ninoty thousand dollars, is werth more than ak of thom combined. Tho sooner these voasels are dis- posed of, and their vames crased from the list of vessela composing tho United States Navy, the bettor it will bo for tho country and ¢ho honor of thomnaval service. THE OLD BAILING GHIPS. Tho oid eaiitng ships-of-the-line, frigates, sloops-of war, brigs, &c., are fat fa%ing into the positions they wiil in future occupy, that of store and hospital chips. They havo sggn their bost days; many of them havo soen much service; but they can no toager be considered valuable as active cruisers. The old ships.of-the-lino and frigates are bottor adapted for hospital ships at our Southora seaports than buildings on shore. Their fine yeutilation peculiarly adapts thom for that purpose, aud government will no doubt use thom as such iv a short time. WESTERN GUNBOATS. ‘These veasols havo been constructed expressly fur tho wators ia which thoy have to operate, and most admira- bly have they answored tho purposo. Their success hat ‘beon wonderful, and we suppose thoir services will b® roquired more or boss until they are worn out, They havo 60 often been described that thoy are well known to all persons interested in tho operations of our navy, and to repeat a description would be useless. WHAT WE HAVE DONE. Nover has a navy beon built from nothing before this war, Our success has astonished the work! and proved tho immense resources of this countey. France and Eagland havo watchod us closoly, aud now acknowledge, by slleace on the subject of intervention, what can bo dono if wo try; and thoy fear us; for our ficots are now capable of holding them in check until we are strong enough to assumo tho offensive, when the result may easily bo imagined. Wo havo done wonders, Lot us con- tinue the work uatil wo feel strong enongh to resist the world, THE NAVIES OF BRANCE AND ENGLAND. It will not be out of place, in connection with tho list of voasols of our own sorvice, to give asummary of the ships composing the navies of England and France, tho only naval Powers that wo have any reason to fear. The summary wo give of the French navy and that of other emaller Powers is only to April, 1859; that of Eng- Jand to within a few weeks. Since that time the increase im number of steamships bas boon vory great, and the de- crease in the number of eailing vessels about in the same proportion; consequently the number is about the same, although tho vessels are of a more effective character. ‘The building of iron-clad ships has commenced since that time. France, having bad more confidence in iheir ultimate success, has accordingly built a aumber of them of all descriptions. England has been building moro for experiment, until tho combat between the Merrimac and Monitor, when she became suddenly aroused to the de- fenceless condition of her coast, and since that time has ‘boon hurrying forward the construction of iron-ctads of all classes, and will goon havo a large number afloat, and of a very formidablo character.

Since tho memorable combat between the Monitor and the Merrimac, thirteen powerful steamers named in the above table as ‘building’ have had all work on thom suspended. Four of thoso aro ships.of-the-line, five frigates and five gunboats, Since that world famous event the British Admiralty have quite caved in, gone clean daft, exhibiting a fear, hesitancy and total lack of confidence in their own powers that are pitiful to bohold. See Mr. Scott Rus- soll’s letters in @ morning paper on the subject. If Lord Palmerston had any independence at all he would turn out my Lord of Somerset as Chief of the Navy Department, find some borough for the great ship arehi- tect to represeat in Parliament, and have the builder of the Eastern as First Lord of the Admiralty. No dan- ger of that, however. Look at the 637 war vesai tually atoat, with 65 more building, all except 110 ed by steam; see the 233 vessels with their 6,000 guns and oter 26,000 men mow in active service, priuci- at home, in the Mediterranean, ia North America, the East and West Indies and the Pacific, and imagine the panic, the pesitive terror that bas taken possession of the once masters of the seas at sight of a little ‘‘cheesebox on a raft,” showing a power heretofore unknown in naval warfare. Since that afair the British Lion bas protested that be is only Bottom the Weaver, aud declares that he “will roar you a@ gently as @ sucking dove.” Of course he will, and nothing more, I assure you. Every one knows the codMge of that classie beast, or we might almost be inclined to think he was iu great bodily fear. Herea‘ter, if you will only seud bim some cotton, he will swear eternal neutrality, and protest in beseeching tones that he jg not a lion at all, but only Bottom the Weaver. SUMMARY OF THE FRENCH NAVY TO APRIL, 1859, 37 steamships-of-the tine. 14 sailing ships-of-the-line. 38 steam frigates, screw. #6 sailing frigates. 4 steam iron-clad frigates. 19 steam frigates, paddie wheel. 6% steam brigs and avisos. 36 sailing brigs and avisos. 47 sailing schoo and cutters. 8 steam gun vessels. 8 steam tloating batteries. 47 steam transports, 26 sailing transports. 20 steam gunboats, screw. 20 steam corvettes. 18 eailing corvettes. Total 446 vessels, carrying 8,442 guns, with an aggre- gate power of 17,820 horses, France has now afloat or constructing four iron-clad frigates, of nine hundred horse power, carrying thirty-six and forty guns each; three shtps-of-the-line, of one thou- sand horse power, carrying fifty-two guns each; ten frigates, of one thousand horse power, carrying thirty- eight gune each; seven corvettes, of one hundred and fifty horse power, carrying fourteen guos cach; five float- ing batteries, of two hundred and twenty-five horse power, earrying eighteen gune each. Besides the above there are sixty gunbeats with iron shields, destined to operate im shoal water and along the coasts, and several wooden vesse's are being transformed iato irop-clads. reasing ber naval power with exceeding is now scarcely inferior to that of Englaad, and will seon be superter, The Emperor Napoleon bas had thenavy of France and its prosperity as much in his thoughts as her army; he was determined that it should be eecond to none in the world, and success bas thus far erowned his efforts to make 1 all that he desires it should be. ‘The personnel of the navy of France ie far superior now to what it has ever been. The seamen are of a superior clase, They are well disciplined and exercised, avd they have officers competent in all respects to command them. A war now between France and England would show that Jebn Bull has a very different Power to contend with in the French sailor of the present time, in comparisen with the same person in «gil former ware, and John Bull would have to work hard for victery whonever he obtained it. OTHER NAVIES. The navy of Russia at the same period presents a grand total of one hundred and fifty-cight vessels of all classes. That of Sweden three bnndred and forty-five; of Nor way, one hundred and forty-three; of Deumark, one hun- dred andtwenty; of Spain, eighty-two; the Dutch, one hundred and forty-one; Belgian, seven; the Two Bicilies, ninety-cight; Austrian, one hundred and thirty-five; Pore taguese, thirty-nine; Sardinian, twenty-nine; l’ressian, fifty-five; Greek, twenty-six; Turkish, forty-nine; Bra. zilian, forty-two; Peruvian, Ofteen; and Chilean, sixty-six vessels. None of the above have been increased in proportion to the navies of England, France and the United States. They have been adopt improvements and substituting steam for canvass; but their numbers remain about the same. The most rapid growth of any navy in the world has doen that of the United States during the past year, and the prospects are that it will increase with equal rapidity: until it ie inferior to none. Our navy bas proved to be ali that we expected, and has shown by ite sories of brilliant vietoriew that it i to be at all times depended upon, and that it has lost nothing of the high reputation it gamed during all the wars we bave had, wherein it called apon to exhibit its powers, and prove to those who heretofore claimed to rule the seas that we acknowledged no superior afloat. ‘We make no comparison now between our navy and that of other mations. A year hence and we will, and will not be-sebamed of the resnit. If, as they mest certainly will, iron-clads are imfature to rule, we start fair with others; and if we do sot win, both in nugber add power with those we have to contend with, it wily be the ee eel dad ingenuity have ore guscamd to earth. There can ® be no doubt as to the result. What wo have commenced 80 woll will ond well, and our people will seo us tn the | ry im one your hence ag far ahoad of the rest of the aa @ yoar since were aheud ofue.

Sarurpay, Oct. 4—6 P. M. The money market is more active to-day, and lenders are getting five per cent in almost every instance. The increased inquiry for money springs, of course, from the active speculation in stocks. Exchange is inactive at 1354 a %. Gold sold this morning at 122%, closing at 1224 bid. De- mand notes are rather inactive at 1199;. The speculation in stocks shows no sign of abatement, though there was a good deal of re- alizmg and some reaction this afternoon. The commission brokers all report a large increase of orders and an increased attendance at their offices. Everybody appears to be operating, and thus far everybody who has bought stocks has made money. At this morning's board the two favorites were Missouri sixes, which jumped from 55 last even- ing (the last registered sale was 53) to 58, and old Erie, which, after closing at 65% yes- terday, advanced at one time to 68% this morn- ing. The transactions in both were enormous. In the Michigan shares a very large business indeed was done, and prices were higher. LIltinois Cen- tral opened at 82, but declined 148 ¥% per cent. New York Central, Galena, Toledo and Rock Island were steady. After the board there was a slight reaction, which eubsequently became quite decided at the second board.

The reaction was due partly to the increased inquiry for money to-day, partly to the realization of profits, and partly to an unwillingness on the part of many timid operaters to carry any stocks over Sunday.
