One familiar with the Brooklyn Navy Yard ten years ago would scarcely recognize it now, such are the im- Provements made and the number of new buildings erected. A large portion of the marshy ground on the astern side, between the old canal and Clinton avenue, haa been filled in, and walls have been built on the river side, The yard proper now covers an area of one hundred and five acres, exclusive of the cob dock, the latter being used principally for ordnance purposea. Among the most prominent buildings recently erected ig @ very large and substantial brick storehouse, ‘for the storage of materials and supplies for all the different bureaus, It is located om the avenue as you enter the yard gate from York asireet, The Iron and Brass Foandry is well worthy of notice among the recent improvements, This building is three hundred and fifty feet long by sixty-five feet wide Inside, and bas a wing its whole length thirty feet wide, The main build.ng, which is used as the iron foundry, contains two air. furnaces, three cupolas forty-eight. inches in diameter each, four pits, two ovens and four } heavy cranes. The blast for the cupolas is obtained from two blowing cylinders’ driven by one vertical engine. .The brass foundry, which occupios one-half of the wing, is furnished with twelve small air furnaces besides all the necessary implements, The other por- Uon of the wing is employed as a coppersmith shop, and can boast some of tho best tools in the country, All these works were constructed under the super- vision of Chief Engineer J, W. King, United States Navy, who also demgned the general plans of the now machine suop, borer shop, smithy, erecting shop, rolling ‘mill, pattern shop and office buildings, all of which are to be pst os broad foundry. Wseea2 plans were approved by lavy Department and the mone; asked for from the last Reerpeee, Besides this Mr. King has ‘considerably improved the old works, New furnaces have been built in the smithy and two steam hammers ‘erected and put fu operation. The old foul has been ti into boiler smithy and twenty put in operation therein ; also a gmail heating furnace and two steam hammere, one of eight inch diameter of cylinder and one of ten inch diameter, ‘he latter is self-acting, and is a beau- tiful specimen of a machine to hammer iron automati- cally, when compared with the old fashioned way of using aledges. The old machine shop has been onlarged by additional space near the pumping engine, while several new machines have been added. Tho pattern shop, which at present occupies the third story of the granite building, bas been enlarged and improved, and is one of the most complete shops of its kind to be found in the country. During the two terms which the Chief Engineer has been there many labor-saving machines have been intro- duced by him snto tho Nay; ‘When first he was ordered there twenty men were Cn sal in sawing wood by hand with the old fashioned buck saw. A machine was constructed by him which required but three man to operate it, and thereby saved, in this one item, $9,000 ayear, It is eetimated that the total saving in labor would foot up about $100,000, Heretofore the buildings, works, docks and all men employed in the navy yards have always been under the control of the Chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks; but it has been ordered by the of the Navy that after July 1 each bureau shall control all the men employed under it, and have charge of all buildings, materials and stores used in connection therewith, ‘The Tairey-nioth ‘Congress having falled to make any appropriation improvements im the navy yards, Bh ct oe buildings, a hat po at ‘ie avery lyn yard bas ‘suspended, except where unexpend: balances remain The wails of the new buil for pre- paring armor plates and such work are up and the build. ang is roofed in, but no work has been done on the inte- rior, and as the $150,000 originally apj for ite completion has been expended, work has been stopped. The fout for the new shop was completed last year some of the materials purchased, but as only $10, was ted to complete it, progress was suspended, with the pyri that the last session of Congress would approp! the balance required, This expectation having been disappointed matters remain in statu quo, Four pairs of marine engines of fifty by forty-two inch lindera, with accom} boilers, are now. in course of construction at the Chief Engineer's Department, These are the first which been constructed in the Brooklyn Navy Yard Tno work! ip ie first the used of the best man re, The will cogs the gov four pairs of of a million of ernment u| The vessels eenih nese oa? commenced in different United States Naval Academy.

MISCELLANEQUS, We learn by private advices that the United States steamer Juniata, Captain John Almy, sailed from Rio Janeiro April 30, She was relieved by the United States steamer Pawnee. The Juniata is to stop at Guadalupe and St. Thomas on her way home, She is ordered to the Philadelphia Navy Yara, to go out of commission. She may be expected io arrive about Juno 15, The school ship Macedonian, for the midshipmen now at Annapolis, wili soon proceed to Norfolx, Va., where sho will be docked, prior to going on the annual cruise, The Savannah and Dale are rapidly fitting out. The orders of Paymastor George De F. Boston, lately ordered to St. Paul de Loando, west coast of Africa, to tako oharge of the naval stores at that point, have beon revoked, and he ig placed on sick loave. Admiral Farragut’s flagship Franklin, Captain A. M. Pennock, is expected to come here trom Boston about June 15, when her equipment will be completed. Ad. miral Farragut will then hoist bis flag and proceed to Europe to assume the command of the European squad- ron, relieving Rear Admiral Goldsborough. This last named officer will return by the United States steamer Colorado, and be placed upon tho retired list from sulys 1967. mmander 8, A. Kimberly has assumed command of the United States receiving ship Vermont,.atthe New station, relieving Commander Rhind, who takes charge of the Naval Rendezvous, There is a rumor about the Navy Yard that the Japan- ese Embassy bave come to an understanding with our government, and they will soon have three iron-clads turned over to them—the Atianta, nessee and Stone- wall. It would seem that the latter veszel ia the best one they could purchase, If they hope to get an iron-clad of the type of the Tennessee and Atlanta to Japan they will have to exercise s great deal of skill and ingenuity; but tho ram Stonowall could easily be navi to Japan, and she would prove a most formidable customer, both im harbor and at sea, She is a very handy vessel, and has steamed as high as twelve knots upon trial in the Potomac river. She has double propellers, a formidable ram, and is probably one of the handiest vessels under steam of her ciass, easily turning in her length by the use of both arpa: acting in opposite directions, The United States sloop-of-war Oneida, Commander Oreighton, sailed yesterday for the Asiatic squadron via, Cape de Verde islands, Rio ‘de Jatelro and’ Capo Good pe. The United States steamer Don, Commander R. Chand- ler, sailed yesterday from the Navy Yard with adraft of men from the receiving ship Vermont. She goes to Portsmouth, N. H. The men are intended for the Unitod States steamer Minnesota, fitting out at that station, The United States steamer Paul Jones, Commander Fitzhugh, went out of commission yesterday. All the poring have been detached and placed upon waiting orders, THE IRONCLAD MARKET. The various rumors about the purchase of iron clads by foreign government are slowly but sureiy proving trae, It will be remembered that near tho close of the war the Confederato ram and iren-clad Stonowall was cornered in Havana and closely watched by a special squadron under Admiral Godon. Her captain, however, never put to sea to give the Yankee navy a chance at him, but showed his discretion by remaining in the har- bor, and finally, upon the surrender of Genera) Leo and the collapse of the rebellion, he delivered his ship up to the Spanish authorities, abandoning all claims upon her, Of course the Spanish government could not do less than deliver her to the United States, In due time the ‘Stonewall was sent to Washington and jaid up.
