a Steam Nary.--We are Of the opinion of
,Ir. Junius Smith, the American gentleman resi-
ing in London, whose name is so Intimately con-
lectod with the first successful efforts of steam
.avigaton across the Atlantic, that is soon about
0 supersede entirely all ships Of war, and that
maritime conflicts will hereafter be conducted by
team vessels. It is unnecessary to dilale upon
heir vast superiority in feemess Of movement,
:hoice of point Of attack, weight Of meta of any
mount to rake an enemy, their facility and pune
uality in transporting an army and equpage for
endorsements, invasion, &C., their exemption
rom the capricious influences Of wind, &c. 1t is
lear that we shall soon hear no more Of the nigh
liner, with her proud, swelling canvass. I'M
losing and sublime an object though she be, poe


rv must hereafter memorialize this maritime
achievement Of human industry4s an anliquated,


,sole,e contrvance, that modern genius dscards
md casts into oblivion, with all the hallowed as
,ciatons of Blake, a Rodney, Nelson, and
Perry. that will embalm its history. 1t is there
ore, perhaps, no, seriously to be regretted that
ut of the evil Vaccinations that have conspired


nder the present Van Buren, administration TO
elard the augmentation Of the Navy, and blacken
he reputation Of our gallant officers, there has
rren so llt,le progress Of construction. We shall
ave the expenditures for ponderous seven,v- fours


nd frigates. and go at once into the building of


steam vessels exrlusvely.-N 7. T.. Star.
