REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF
THE NAVY.
The special Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald lurni-bes a synop-is
of the Repoi t of the Secretary ol the Navy.
It is an important document, tioiu the tact
thatit Bilvocatestberc-organizatioiiot the na
vy, and recommends the appropriation of live
millions lor building several piupclh r steam
lrigates. lie says there are nut lorty ves
sels which could be biou-ht into service in
ninety days if needed. In advocating the
construction of sUani propellers, be con
tinues :
" I recommend, therefore, that the De
partment be authorized to have con-trueted
at lea-t six liist cla-s steam li'jate- pin
pellers. 'I he opinion is entertained that that
number may be boiit in our several yaul
iu addition to the work now poing on, and
the repairs u-ually needed on the return of
. nssi Is Iroin lonj voyages. It is e-tiuiated
that they will .'o.-l between four and live
millions of dollars, and can be built in about
twenty mouths, w.th I lie cxeipliuli it some
deliei, ney iu the supply of whit.' oak and
yellow pine, vvhieb eaii be without much dif
ficulty procured. e have on hand at the
various yards, an pie materials to iiecoui-pli-h
what is recommended. It will be per
ceived, on referring to the eitiiiiutes ol the
Rurcau of Construction, that an e tiiuale is
in. nip ol the entire to t.
" As il is dct incd desirable to make the
addition to our naval forces as uarly as
practicable, in consideration of the number
of vessels which wid soon be until fur ser
vice, and not worth repaiting, and as it is
important to ntain on haml, tor emergen
cies, a reasonable supply of building mate
rials, I venture to suggest the policy ol nm- j
kin" the appropriation at ail early day, lo
enable the department to build llieiu with
despatch, and purchase a supply of material '
so as not to dimim-h the amount ou hand. "I
lie also recommend that the Santee, at
Kittery, and the Sabine, at New York, on
the stocks since Is 111, be altered, modern-'
ued, and finished as substitute for two
frigate of the same class withdrawn J
worthless. The old ship-of the-liue Frank
lin is beiii rcpairftd al Kittery, and her
model changed, with a view of converting
her into a first class .-team frigate " Should
!liK-e recommendations be adopted," the re
pot t adds, " our nu al force will be strength
ened by the addition of two tir.-t class anil
in frigates, capable of inouiitinj; fifty guns
each, there being no steamer at present of
more tl.nn ( guns. My opinion is, it would
be round policy to dispose of nvh vessels as
aro deemed unfit lor service as vessel of
war." This branch of the report concludes
with a recommendation for iuc establish
ment of machine bhops, anj an increase of
cnli-tuiciit men from the present number
seventy-tie hundred to Vr.li.msand.
Ln'iier the Wad of re"-orgW.iatiou of
the navy," the Secretary recommends a
retired li.-t on reduced pay, for the faithful
who have become iiibriu ; the discharge of
the intfiiciciit who have no claim ou the
bounty of their government for services ren
dered ; promotion regulated by capacity and
merit, mid not by mere seniority of commis
sion ; pay to some extent controlled by sea
service. A board of officers of Tarious
grades, to be selected by the President, can
be convened periodically to report to him
the names of tho-e who, in their judgment,
should be made subjects of the rules pre
scribed, but their repoit to be binding on
the President only so far as he deeius prop

nomination of Gen. Pierce, the delegation
tioiu ii'giiii.-i voted for Mr. l'ickin-ou, and
that he, in a speech thnt much ap
plauded, declined the nomination upon the
ground tn.it he and tho-e of his colleagues
who acted with bitu were pledged to Gen.

tliel. s true, that whilst he wa- making that
speech his son in law was beseeching the
Virginia, delegation to continue voting for
him, hi- -peccli notwithstanding, with as
surances that, in that case, the friends of
(ieii. Oas from other States would vote for
Mr. Dit kiuson, and thus secure the nomina

a!-o nevertheless true, that Mr. liarbour
and others, di-gu-tcd at what they believed
to be duplicity and finesse on his part, re-fu-ed
to vote for Mr. Dickinson a second
time, and brought forward lien. Pierce.
It is al-o well known that, failing to procure
his nomination tor the presidency, the partis

yet when it came upon him he was dread

FOREIGN NEWS.
Last evening's northern mails brought us
the following details of the new brought by
the Africa :
Requesting the reader to bear in mind
that all the accounts of the massacre for
it can s arcely be called a battle in the
harbor of Siuope, have come through the
Russian sources, we proceed to give as con
nected a narrative of the occurrence as the
imperfect information yet received will per
mit. Although called a " Turkish defeat."
the intelligence before us describes the " do
feat" as more glorious to the Turks thau
their " victory," of tw-euty-ouu ships over
fourteen is to the Russians.
The harbor of Sinope is not strongly for
tifh'd. . Formerly, it was the principal naval
establishment of Turkey, but of late t-be ar
senal has been transferred to Constantino
ple, aud a single battery on the little fort of
lion: Tcpe now constitutes the whole defence
of the port.
On the 30th ult., the fleet of Admiral Xa
chinioff, that had been sent expres-ly to
look for the Turkish flotilla that was con
veying reinforcements to the army on the
east coast of the Rlack Sea, appeared off
the roads of Sinope, where the Turkish
ships, under the command of ( Ismail Rey,
were at anchor, having bceu driven to an
chorage there a day or two previou-ly by
stress of weather. Nachimoffa squadron
consisted of twenty-four rail, of which six
were line of battit: ships. Finding there
was no help but fight or surrender, Osmau
bravely threw his owu and some other of
bis ships acro-st tin entrance to tho harbor,
and attempted to keep the Russians at bay
while the trau-ports ha-tened to laud their
men aud stores. From the couliued posi
tion in which his ships were, he labored at
great disadv antage. The Turks had to sus
t'ne fire of over 0; (i Russian guns, and
could not bring more thau V!UU to play
against them.
Notwithstanding this fearful odds, the
Turks made no proposals to surrender, but
kept up their fire until one after another of
their ships sunk or blew up. Astonishing
to relate, they managed to sink and burn
no fewer than seven of the enemy. To the
last (l.-niau refused to strike his flag, but
continued to blai away from bis shattered
ship at the Ru-.-ian stemim that were towing
it towards Schastopol. At length he was
taken wounded on board Nachimoffs ship,
and hi- f.iga'e sunk, so that of all the spoils
of this " brilliant victory the Russians took
into Sabastopol only a few wounded men,
but not a plank of a Turki-h ship
The following is a copy of the bulletin
that was posted ou a bourse at Odessa,
December 5 :
" The Rus-ian fleet, under the command
of Admiral Naehiluoff, has met, in the Rlack
Sea. a Turki-h and J-Jgyptla-n fleet, com
posed of eighteen ships two decker frigates,
corvettes, together with two steamers of ti s e
hundred horse powir, aud two others of
three hundred horse power. After a long
engagement the following Turkish ships have
been destroyed or captured : One of s-l
guns no name given; do. till no name
giveu ; do. !'J Nexrami Etfendi; do. Oil
A I met Eli ; do. 46 Nazim Fessiui ; do. "'-!
F'essi Maenioiid. Steamers Twoof -Hguns
each; l! transports ; 1 Uriti-h transport.
The engagement took place near Sinope.
Five thousand Turks have been killed, and
many taken prisoners. Oman Rev, who
was wounded, was also takeu prisoner.
Several officers, both English and French,
were ou board the Turkish ships."
Fr .mi this bulletin it would appear that
ou'y eleven Turkish ships were destroyed
two of th.'in trau-ports and defenceless in
stead of tbt! thi; teen frigates previou-ly an
nounced. Al.-o, that if there were eigliteeu
Turki-h ships, seven niu-t have escaped.
And further, the " no name giveu " of the
two heaviest ships of st and () guns, looks
f 11-piciously like as if there bad Leon 110
such ships. 'Ihe5,n0ti Turks reported to
be kiVed would have been a sufficient ar
mament for the eleven ships without the
' many " taken prisoners. And as the Rus
sians lost seven of their own ships, including
two ships of the line, their victory consists
in a surplus of four ships only, namely,
three transports aud a .l gun steamer ?
Even these they have not to show ; and if
they bad, they would not begin to pay for
repairs to the Russian admiral s ship, which
had to be buoyed up before it could reach
Sabastopol.
Two. French and two English frigates
have gone to Siuope, nominally with medi
cal assistance for the wounded.
Immediately on the news of the disaster
being published, 011 the 'ld instant, at Con
stantinople, a grand divan was held, at
which all the foreign ministers were pre-ent.
The English and French ambassadors were
strongly called upon to order the combined
fleets into the lb':ick Sea ; but they (the ain
bhadors) ri ijuested mi audience of the
Sultan, and persuaded him that it would
be belter not to send forward the whole
fleet, but only a ship or two to acquire more
dc unite information. This w as agreed to.
The wildest excitement prevailed at Con
stantinople, and it was expected thnt the
whole fleet would be ordered to the Rlack
Sea forthwith. Their nii-.-ion there will be
to prevent further coiifliit between Russian
and Turkish ship".
Fi'Rltinplsii THE Ramis. The Washing
ton Star says : A few evenings since, a
considerable company as-cmblcd at the
house of a w 01 thy old resident of the Fir-t
Ward, to witness the marriage of his daughter
to a buck about town. The Rev. Mr. Ev an,
the clergyman officiating, commenced the
ceremony, and proceeded to the part where
he calls on any one present to speak out if
knowing of an impediment to the consum
mation of the ceremony ; whereupon a fair
one, who up to that time stood timi ily back
iu the crowd, ru.-hed forward, and seixing
the affrighted bridegroom by the throat
dragged him imme di tt.-ly from the room
and bouse, ere the intended bride could
come to the rescue. Since then the discon
solated half-married young person h.n not
heard of her spirited-aw ay half-husband.
These fart arc ro:itiu1y true."
LORD PA LM ERSTON S RESIGNATION.
The London Times, after stating that the ;
resignation of Lord Palnicr.-tou was owing
to bis opposition to Lord Juhn Russell's Re-
form Rill, says :
" We repeat, it is upon this ground, ex-
prcssly and alone, that Lord Palmcrston
has retired from the Cabinet, and uot upon
any question of foreign policy. We do uot
affect to disguise the regret with which we
have learnt his determination, or to under-'
valuo the loss which the government sus-'
tains. On the contrary, although the opiu-.
ion Lord Paliner.-ton entertains on the ques
tion of Parliamentary Reform is at variance ,
with our own, and with that of a majority
of the intelligent classes of Eiigli.-ffiueu, we
do not hesitate to avow that there never
was a time at which Her Majesty' Govern-
inent could less afford to I5.se file advantage
of bis great abilities and experience, nor
was there ever a tima when it was more es-
etitial to the interest and dignity of the na
