The committee wa* appointed by the cabin •t in December last, in eonssquence of tbe very se rieus idcreas* which Ims taken place ol late years in tbe Navy Estimate*, while at the same time it is represented that all this expense gees for nothing—that the naval fore* of JOng'-ind, in a word, t» tar inferior to •« what it ought to be" with referenctr to France ant other Power* ei Europe.

Ar. tirtcers for maintaining it, thereby rendering necessary both an increase in the qtiaantity of iiores end the number of artificers. At the end oi lb yeav*v on an average, the hull of each ship requires a com ;.lete and expensive sepair, and tbe Surveyor of tho [Navy states that the duration of a ship cannot .b* [estimated at more than SU years,—that iuriog* ibe E la-it ten years 35 liners-and 4** frigates have b*e* loved fiom the effective lis. of the navy, and shut an average three line of battle shrys ought to bo produced every yearrmerely tom-intain the naw on a proper footing as r.-.-peeis line ot battle- stifps, Thv. -surveyor of the Navy lurther atatet that tiie present force in the dockyards, which comprises 4*-UtfO shipwrights and apprentices, i« not more than »um- cient to build three line of battle ships*, three frigates, aid fix sloops par annum, besides executing the wr ■essary repairs- to all the ships in tbe navy..
