Thanks to the fact that nowadays more and more books are digitized we are able to read books that are some times for decades no longer available for the public for several reasons. That's quite a pity while these books contains useful information while the archives are destroyed, incomplete or nor accessible. In this specific magazine was an article titled “The National Defence Madness” published in which the British navy was compared with several other navies and the results were presented in the British Parliament.
P. 362: “The navy of the two Sicilies is 1 ship of 80 guns, 5 frigates of 60 and 44, 1 corvette of 22, 2 bomb ships, 5 brigantines of 20, 2 galleys of 14, total, 484 guns; 6 steamships of 300 horse power, 2 carrying mortars and 4 cannon; 1 steamer of 6 guns, 1 of 180 horse power, 1 of 120, 2 of 50 horse power, 1 of 40, 2 of 300 (in building); 113 officers, 76 surgeons, 100 pilots, 12 ship-builders, total, 301; 3,468 marine constables, 1,650 marines, 70 labourers, 24 mechanics, and 150 telegraphists.”
