The feeling that it would be monstrous to press on our enormous expenditure of brick and mortar and stone fortifications, in the face of recent facts in Hampton Roads, was too general for the Government to resist, had the engineering voice been ever so potential in Pall Mall. Lord Palmers on bad felt the pulse of Parliament, and conceded in time to avoid a detect. The execution of the fortification projects once, arrested, if prevalent expectations are borne out, will be finally stopped, and Government will compensate the contractors, and have done with the scheme at Portsmouth certainly, and most probably elsewhere.

a cheap and half-seaworthy battery like the Monitor — the very first experiment of her projector — could bring the Merimac at bay, what may not be done on further trial? As it was, the first appearance of an iron-cased frigate on the sea would, except for the accidental appearance of another like her, have affected the issue of a mighty war. Even now the consequence of doubling a few bars of railway iron across a ship's dock can hardly be foreseen. The armament of the Merrimac. Capt. Blakely, the inventor of the gun to which his name is affixed, writes to the London Times: "It may interest your readers to know that the Merrimac carried 7½ inch rifled cannon, which throw weighing 120 pound, the charge of powder being 21 pounds. The guns of the monitor were 11 inches in diameter, but threw round shot weighing 80 pounds, and the powder charge only 12 pounds. An ordinary 68-pounder would have done twice the damage at short range. Indeed, even the Merrimac's guns to hav

He asserts, however, that the present Admiralty, since the experiments ordered six months ago in the Trusty, have been most anxious to develop the invention. The gallant Captain says: "I will guarantee to build two of my shot-proof rafts, with 300 pounders and revolving shields, (giving them a little more length, depth and speed,) for £60,000 each, and they would inevitably dispute the entrance to Solthead against the Warrior, or vessels of that class, or would most certainly either destroy or drive t

It is important to nations which care to preserve their position not to allow themselves to be distanced in the struggle. The engineer Ericsson, in constructing the Monitor, has had the merit of creating the first vessel which may be really called invulnerable. The English iron- plated frigates cannot pretend to that title, as they are not entirely covered with iron; and, secondly

g 800 pounders all only using their guns. The calculation is simple. The ship can carry three times as many 100 pounders as 800 pounders; she can fire each 100 pounder three times as fact as each 300-pounder; and each 100 pounder has 40 per cent. more chance of entering a port-hole than a 300-pounder, making an advantage of twelve to one in favor of 100-pounders. On the other hand, we may admit that a 300 pound shot would kill a man three times as effectually as a 100-pounder.--As Sir William Armstrong is not likely to produce a 100-pounder for some time — the movable breech-piece would weigh 1,000 pounds--England has no choice that I can see but to provide herself with steam rams, or make arrangements to ransom her seaports."

The London Times gives some additional information on this subject: On Friday one of the finest ships in Her Majesty's navy was removed from her moorings up the harbor of Portsmouth, and placed alongside the dockyard. The necessary preparations were at once begun for cutting off her upper and main decks to convert be from a screw three-decker to a 12 gun shield ship, on Captain Cores's plan. The sh
