It is creditable to the lished paper head of that department, (Mr. Upshur.) .as it ex hibitsan intimate acquaintance with ll.e details ol business, which could not have been acquired without i;reai industry and attention. The report Mates, that the Navy of tho United StaUs is composed of Eleven ships ,.f ,l,e line; of winch one is rated for o pun,, nnj tcn f(,r 7 1 lT1Jn3 i itieen frii'ates r f the first clas; of w hich enc is rated for T 1 "'ns , and founeen for 1 t iuns . . . i wo f 1 itrMes of tha second clam of t' nmq each.

In Upper : Californi there nre nlso considerable settlements f Americans. To protect tl.rso interests, and to fully explore tho ti ilf of California , the Sec rotary recommends, that the naval force on that station be augmented to double itspresent strength. Ho also recommends lha establishment on the Pacific Coast, n post to which ourvesscls may repair fr supplies, &.C, as also a naval depot at iho Sandwich Islands. The report then states the several points w here 'he navy is at present stationed. Tho steamships Missouri and Mississippi, built under ihe act of '3 i March, 1S.TJ, the former at New York, and tho latter at 1 mladelphia, are nearly leady for service and will form a part of the homo squadron. ? 1 - r . . roers nave oeen given for tno construction ol three steamers of medium size, under (he act of i t v. 1 u i i . v i. - , - - - - - i)j ti. l . uii. u n ni i.kw lorK.onnni . n n.

Tho amount of the navy hospital fund is sta ted at 17,007 53, and is gradually increasing. if! The Secretary desires to have these surplusses ; invested as they accrue 111 somo interest bearin.' f fund. The condition of the other funds is also slated. The operation of the apprentice system continues to be highly encouraging and an extension of tho plan is contemplated. The present num ber of apprentices is abou: 1,000 The report says lhat great ditlicully is experi enced in the enlistment of seamen. Experiments m gunnery and projectiles have been made, and ur vessels w ill bo tupplied, in a 6hort time, with arms of the various cescriptions used in iho ser vice, including Paixlian guns.

Tho Secretary closes his elaborato and able roport, by expressing tho determination topractico a prudent economy in nil things but he condemns j , snv hich would expose the country, in defenceless condition, to hostile attacks. "Tho spirit which pauses," says ho, "to calculate the cost of measures necessary for the support of the honor and glory of our country will never, it is hoped, display itself in this department."

But troubles must be met manfully, boldly, fearlessly. It is not to J bo expected that every thine will co on snioothtv and camly Did n brook ever run its cour.o . . ' .

Can we cxnect to nnss thrnnvh f wiihm.i ii. . . . . r o - being chequered with crosses and annoyances? It is ol no uso to talk about living free from troubles. They beset the pataco of the rich as well 33 tho cottage of the poor. Wealth cannot keep off sickness. Wealth cannot prohibit death from entering its doors. Wealth cannot prevent us from encountering troubles, cannot purchase an exception from cares and anxieties; cannot make us always happy; cannot free us from ennui; in short ennnct make us perfectly hsppy. Troubles will come upon us, domestic or pecuniary, nnd wc have only to gel over them Iho best way we can ; not brood over them; not mako n mountain out of a mole hill; not imagine everything is wrong when perhaps almost everything is prosperous. If you are over head ond ears in troubles, the only way is lo fight your wiy manfully, and you will tie almost sure to conquer. Off coat, roll j up your sleeves, and go to work in good earnest; and the hnrder and more diligently you labor, the sooner will your troubles cease to annoy you. Troubles do not often ccme alone. Their name is legion, for they aro many, and you have only lo fortify yourself tho stronger against them, ond you will hardly fail to conquer. Meet them boldly, with tho heart of a lion. Remember that repining does not mend the matter, lhat groans nnd despondency does not make one happier; ,hat sighs avail nothing, although ihey cost many exchange paper, although perhaps somewhat ultm. is i least pome 01 n- worm rcmemnering: un con tent as long as vour rao.nh is full and your body warm remember the poor kiss the pretty i9 nt least some of it worth rcmemberinir: Bn gin's don't rob your neighbor's henroost never pick an editors pocket, nor onterfain the ideh that he i going to track kick dull care to ike deuce black your own boots and, we will add. sew on your own buttons when you bust "em 01T yoUr trowsers.

Neurology if ihe name given to a "new science,'" which has recently been discovered in Louisville, Kv., by one Doctor Buchanan. It g-es a little ahead of animal magnetism. The operator, by a compression of iheoifTVrpnt phrenological organs of lhe brain, professes to be able 10 excite them, and produce corresponding emotions n the mind. For intanep, in one of th exibition", he had n Isdy to operate upon, and although she it a teetotaller, she presisted in th desire for a glass of loddy. The Cincinnati Times very aptly remarks, as compression is the means used lo prodneo these extraordinsry effects, ibe softer the craorum tie better fur the operator.
