Nrew York, Oct. 10.—~At the session to-day of the house of deputies of the Protestant Enpiscopal church, a committee on liturgical revision was appointed. The committes on cbnstitutional amend- ments recommended the passage of a resolu tion allowing & diocese to cede part of its territory for missionary jurisdiction. The resolution was placed on the calondar, but a two-thirds vote was roo and taken up for immediate considoration. Chancellor Woolworth, of Nebraska, who had brought tho resolution before the convention, asked that its provisious be made to apply to his state, He gave a doscription of its physical features and said that its presout condition rendered it impossible for its spiritual neods to be properly attendod to. Dr, Hauckel, of Virginia, as_chairman of the committee on admission of new dioceses, said be did not think the change should ba allowed, The territory had been assigned to Nebrasica and it was their duty to cover it. It would be dangerous to allow a precedent, as every large diocese would be waiting to cede away tion of its territory. Nash, of New York, thought the resolution should be adopted. Several others spoke. A vots was then taken on the motion of Chancellor Woolworth and it was passed, “The motion to adopt the constitutional amenduient pro- posea by the committee was discussed and adopted. A motion was ther made that tho ruies be suspended to allew the house to voto on the question of adjourning on Thursday, October 24, It was u iimously voted w adjourn on that dute. Tho house resumed discussion of the question of liturgical re- vision.

Captured and Burned by the British— A Bone of Contention During the Civil War—Its Present sxcellont Oon dition. Where Ships are Built, Wasnixatoy, Oct. 15.—[Special to Tue Bee.]—No subject before the country is more absorbingly interosting just at this time than that of rebuilding the navy. A proportionate intorost attachoes to the rocon- struction of tho navy yards by which the government is to bo enabled to construct hor new ships and equip them for warfare, In order to robuild and repair new vessels it has been necessary to improve the plants at the more importany navy yards. Of these, next in importance to that in Brooklyn, is the navy yard at Norfolk, Va. Accounts have recently appeared in the newspapers of the opening of tho large wooden dry docks at this yard, and of tho ceessful docking in it of the war ship Yuntic, attended with appropriste ceremonios, The battle ship Texas, about which con- siderable coutrovorsy las avisen, is now building there, aad the secretary of tho navy has just ordered that the construction of ono of the new 5,000-ton crusers shall be under- takon at this yard. A short account of this government ostablishment and the work going on there may thereforo not be with- out intorest. The establishment of the yard at Gosport as the lower end of the present city of Portsmouth was then called, dates from col- onial times, The British government just before the rovolution, selected the site on the report of one of its agents as the most cl- igible situation for n naval station iu its American colonies. Scarcoly had tho work begun, however, when the revolution broke out and the place was taken possession of by Virginia. The yard was recaptured by the British 1n 1779 and set on fire. In 1801 the yard was bought from the state of Virginia by the Unitea States, which had used it for a number of years previously in building vessels. The yard comprised at that timo an area of sixtecn acros. In 1827 a large amount of property sur- rounding the yard was purchased and the yard increased to nearly its present size. In the same year the construction of a stone dry dock was begun on a part of the newly d land. This dock was completed in On June 17, of that year, the dock was opened and the line-oi-battie ship Delaware docked iu it with imposing ceremonies. ‘I'ne total cost of this dock was $74 This dock has since been m continuous ser- vice, and many tine ships have beew docked in it. The chamberof the doclk is feet long and 85!4 feet wide at the coping. The extreme length of the dock, which can be madc availuble by placing the floating gate outside the entrance, is #30 feet. Up to the be of the civil war vari- ous improvements were made, consisting of filling in the ounds, ercction of shops, storc-houses, cisterns, wharves, and the buildiug of a timber dock or poud for the proservation of timber under water itbreak of the eivil war the yar nea by the United States anihor- ship-houses and other buitdings set on fire, the vessels lying at tho vees burned and sunk, among them the Merrimac, and an unsuccessful at- s made 1o blow up the stoze dry vard was taken possession of by ifederates and the suaken Merrimac and rebuilt under the name of Vir- Her subsequent history 18 woll known. ‘Lhie city of Norfolk was surrendered to the iates forces on May 10, 1562, Barly the followiug morning the M ac was blown up by the confederates w 50 st firo to the yard and abandoned it, after an- other attempt to blow up the dry dock,which was only purtially successful. At tuis time the yard had been almost en- tirely destroyed, but few buildings left standing. Tie work of reconsiraction, how- cver, was taken up energetically by the United States at the close of the war. New buildings were erccted and old ones repaired, the stone dry dock was put in a serviceable condition and the hulks sunk at the wharves raised or removed. Sinee the year 1570 comparatively little has been done to improve thé yard or fit it for aoing work of a charucter cousonant with tie rapid strides in the art of ship building until the past three years. Our old wooden vessels required compars little machinery to build _them, the important being ' saw mill, & black shop, and a smail machine shop making the many fittings used even in a wooden vessel of the old type. The mterest aroused in the country in the improvement of the navy enabled the navy department to arouse congress to Lhe importance of an ade- quate plant of machinery atthe important navy yards for building and repairing iron and steel vessels. The first appropriation for this purpose was mude by congress in August, 1586, in an act appropriating §2,500,000 for the increass of the navy, in which 1t was provided thay not_excecding 150,000 might be expended under the direction of the secretary of the navy in improving the plant of such of the navy yards as he might select. The sum was eutirely inadequate to the general bunldisg of the navy yards, and the secretary of the navy determined that the amount should b used to equip only ty vards with new tools, and decided ' upon those at Brookiyn uand'at Portsmouth (gzen- erally called the New York and Norfolk navy yards) as being the most suitable, At the sume time it was decided to build the ty armored vessels authorized by the same uct at these yards. The sum of $15,000 allotted to the Norfolk yard was insuflicient for the cstablishment of afirst-cluss plant and a building to cover it, and in the appropriation bill passed in Saptember, 1888, there wasan item of §i5,000 for a building 10’ contain the uew tools. A further sum of §0.000 was uppropristed last spring for agditional tools, for which the pr posals have just been opened. The work of designing and builaing up the new y t for the Portsmouth navy yard hus been cmrried on entircly by Naval Constructor Francis 1. Boyles, under the superintendence of Commodors ¢ mmandant of the y Durin the fall of 1557 and the spring of 1858, a la: and commodious shed was dosiciod and built for the accommodation of the new tools, and a sehod of these having beon pre pared, advertisements were made for pro- posals in March of last year. In April the coutracts were awarded, und the lust ¢f these toois have ouly lately been delivered.

The leagth of the bridge wouid 1 thirty two miles. The number of picrs 120, the headway for ships 150 feet, and the height from the foundation to the top of structure, 600 feet. It is pro- posed to_build the bridge entively of steel. To do this 1,000,000 tons of steel would be required, and the cost of the bridge it is estimated would amount to about $175,000,000. ‘The project would have attracted less attention than it has but for the fact that it was suggested by M. Schueider, aleading French iron master, and M Hersent, a very eminent enginecer of that country, nnd indorsed by Sir Joln Powlor and Mr. Baker, chief engincers of the Forth bridge.
