NAVAL.
Washington City, June 23. In addition to the duty of directing the necessary surveys and examinations preparatory to the selection of a suitable site for a naval depot and dock yard on our northern coast, we learn that the commissioners of the navy are also charged with the general survey of our coast, and that they have issued orders to the officers employed on both those services.
With a view to the instruction of our young officers, the vessels employed in these surveys are to be wholly manned by them.
