The vessels under construction should be completed during the coming year, except the five battle? ship? which will probably not be ready for service before the latter part of ItrW. Of the latter the Kearsarge snd the Kentucky are nearly half com? plete.

THE NEW COMPOSITE An Important addition of light-draught and com? posite gunboats to the effective forre of the N.ivy haa been made since the last annual report. At the present time the three light-draught gunboats built at Newport News are In active service, as are all the composite gunboats except the Princeton, which Will probably be completed In February. These ves Mis aro a valuab.e and neceasary force, and will be especially effective in maintaining our Interrenti In foreign waters, especially times of civil disturb? The first cost of all these gunboats was low, segregating about ti.W-',***) for the nine, or not. more than the coat of a single flrst-cUss armored cruiser. The cost of their maintenance also, par? ticular ljr ta the case of the composite resssU, should not be excessive, and the reports of their trials, as well as the opinion of officers in command of them, have been distinctly lavoratile.

The composite gunboats are the first which have been designed and completed under tue provisions of the genera? order placing tho responsibility far design, structural ntrength and stability, including the resultant effect of all changes made after the approvai of designs, upon th? Bureau of Construc? tion and Repair. My predecessor, iu his last annual report, commented on tho improved of affairs resulting; from this order, and desirability of strict adherence to It is now still more apparent. In speaking of the vessels now In the Secretary gives In detail the work acconiiillfhed by tbe different fleets.

PrOSJTSSS reported in the Bureau of Ordnance in vessels In keeping with their increase In number. All the guns, hfl In number, needed for tho main batteries of the modern have been completed, except those for the five battle-ships now under construction, and for the Hartford. In the manufacture of the various kind? of runs, of torpedoes, of projectiles and of armor, there has been steady progress. The Secretary recommends that a tract of land contiguous to the waters of New-York be purchased, upon which a naval magazine may be erected. Since an Increaae of offlcsra ha? been made necessary hy the Increase tn the number of ships, the Secretary recommends that cadet? be commis? sioned hereafter at the end of the four years' and one year's practical training at sea In? stead of after the four years' course and two years at sea.

ae at present. This will secure an Imme? diate Impresse of thirty-seven cadeis who have been at sea for one year. An increase of the enlisted men of th? Navy le aleo urged.
