As the session of Congress advances, its business becomes important. There was yesterday introduced, by the Naval Committee in the house of representatives a bill for permanently fixing the Naval Peace Establishment, embracing provisions highly interesting to that branch of the public service. The bill proposes that the number and description of the principal officers shall be as follows:
One Rear Admiral;
Five Commodores;
Nineteen Captains;
Twenty-three Masters Commandant;
One hundred and forty Lieutenants, &c.
Intending to publish the whole of this bill shortly, we will not attempt to follow its details. The effect of it we believe, will be to discharge from service a considerable number of the officers now on the Naval Establishment.
