The 'Columbia frigate of tbe first class, launched and ready for sea—- the brigs Dolphin and Porpoise fitted for sea/ias also the frigate Macedonian, for the South Sea exploring expedition. The barks—Pioneer and Consort, and schooner Pilot, built tbe last season, are now„«bip- ping their crews, as also the store ship Re->, lief, ... The ship of the line North Carolina, bas been repaired, and is under orders .for the 'Pacifip. The razeed Independence is nearly readyfor sea. t . < i* r* The Delaware, Columbus and Ohio ships of the line, are undergoing repairs and will be completed in due season. The sloops Falrhouth, Fairfield, Natchez and the schooner Grampus.have been'.repaired, and the last two fitted for sea. , The construction pf the-ship Pennsylva- ; nia has been resumed, with the.intention of having her ready to launch in tbespring,or summer; . '' Tbe steam vessel building; at ?fevr Y'drk is ready for the reception of her machinery, which has been unavoidably delayed,but it is supposed the ship will be ready for ser- vice in the course of the ensuing summer. The work of improvingthe ?Javy Yards, at different points has been progressing with; the exception of PensacoU, where a per- manent plan was lacking. Tbe vessels errrployed in the Mediterrane an since last year, are the Constitution, 0, States.Potomac.andthe sloopsof war John Adams,and Shark—the Potomac is ordered home. - . The West India station was assigned tp the frigate Constellation, and sloops of war,, Vandalia, St. Louis, Concord, Warren,Bos- tea, . Natchez and the Schooner Grampus. The sloops Ontario and Erie have been em- ployed! on the coasts of Brazil, the Dol- phin at\ Africa,and the frigate JBrahdywine, with sloop Vincennes and schooner Boxer in the pacific-—the sloops Peacock and en-, terprisej in the fiast Indies. The West In- dies haying been the most exposed station, has bad' the greatest force, and % the Secreta-. ry recommends its augmentation hereafter. \ For the purpose pf providing! an adeqqate npm,ber of seamen, the Secretary recom- mends the passage of the bill which has been two years hefOre the Senate, providing for the enlistment of boys over thej age of thir- teen and under eighteen,till twenty one! The explorine expedition to the gioujh Seas moves' hardily, owing mainly to the difficulty attending the enlistment of a suf- ficient number of seamen without encroach- ing on the'force necessary -for other desti- nations|and in consequence.much lime must elapse before the expedition can put to sea on its cruise. The scientific departments are well filled, it is said.by gentlemen who will do honor to themselves and country. No precise period has been fixed for the de- parture of the expedition, and litis doubtful \f it i s off before Spring. k There are under the Pension Act who receive its bounty, 158 widow pensioners and 303 invalid pensioners—tot&l 456. The annual amount paid to the widows is@34,- 185—to the invalids S'23,824—totcl §-5S.O09. The nominal value of fhe stocks belonging to the Pension Fund is $1,143,638 84; of which $641,600 is vested in the U. States Bank.
