The crew of the Minnesota beheld with admiring wonder the enormous balls which their own vessel could not have withstood glancing off or breaking against the armor of the two combatants. The fight, which began at eight o'clock, was long continued without either of them having been able to effect a breach in the armor of his antagonist. At last, Captain Jones, who succeeded Buchanan in the command of the Virginia, after the latter had been wounded, determines to apply the same tactics against the Monitor which have proved so fatal to the Cumberland. She steers with direct aim toward her in order to strike her with the beak, but the point of this weapon was broken the day previous; and a clever shifting of the helm causing the Monitor to sheer off at the critical moment, the prow of the Virginia only touched the edge of her deck, and turned h

The constitution of the Church in Virginia cherished colonial freedom; for the act of 1642, which established it, reserved the right of presentation to the parish. The license of the bishop of London, and the recommendation of the governor, availed, therefore, but little.

Bills were passed incorporating the Richmond City Insurance Company and Steam Sugar Refinery Company. The House passed Senate bill for the relief of Charity Casey, and for allowing the Norfolk and Petersburg Railroad Company to construct a branch.

Putting down Crittenden has become a part of the regular order of business in the Senate, but the old fellow pursues his game, "pressing and paroli-ing" at every "turn." I wonder he don't "copper" occasionally. Lenisiane goes out to-day. The slides and snows on the railroads have delayed the mails from that State for ten days or so, and I am caused at the close of a New Orleans letter new before me, which runs thus:--"In the strictest confidence, we expect to seize all the forts and arsenals in this neighborhood to night, But keep dark." Certainly I will, friend Jones. But your admonition is useless. I was born dark, and have kept dark — very dark — ever since.

The old "Spirit of the times" entered upon its thirty-first volume on the 9th inst., appearing in an entire new dress of type and four additional pages to its heretofore large and attractive form.
