De cutur, fi led, .yejlcpday on a cruife. — The repairs hf the lying at the riaiy yard Sffbis port, are dearly completed\ The long delay which has taken plane in her comple tion, has been owing to a deficiency of workmen. Fifteen or twenty of the gun-boats are hauled up into the mill pond at the IVallabout, and a number are aljo in Newton creek ; they art nearly all difmantled , and generally without crews. At Governor's Jfi tahi, the fortifications progrejs rap'd b ; 500 laborers are confiantly em ployed at ihe rate of 75 cents per day . ‘Jhe grand tower is rafed one flory , send will form an afitoft impregnable firtrefs \ it is ftuated on a point of t%e ifthnd which at once commands - the entrance of ths Narrows and the End qnd.
