The company is f orm ed for the purpose of carryinc., ou t on a large scale a principle which has already received the sanc tion of the Government of India. The experience gained on the main lines of railway has demonstrated so clearly , the necessity of subsidiary lines for the purpose of properly developing the resources of India, that the Governor-General in Council has approved and sanc tioned the scheme o Government ny. (Bee copy of letter from the secretary of the to the company's engineer.) The objects of the company are to lay down rails and work inexpensive subsidiary lines—the Government undertake to deliver to the company the roadways perfectly constructed Government of India has long been in operation with great tinroVial:'nfitlerns iisnhfednigqll,ll:ginviea been in work for 17 years, and w hick, besides constructing its I roiling stock and stations out of revenue, is now gradually paying off its capital, while at the same time it is returning to its shareholders a dividend of 8 per cent. ; the company in this case having had to purchase the land and construct the roadway. It is intended to proceed at once with a most important branch line in connection with the Bengal divisio East Indian Railway. The road is a first-class one, already and ready to receive the rails, together with the land neces sary for sidings and stations, for a period of 99 years, free of cost, so that all this company will have to do is to lay down the rails, provide rolling stock, and construct sheds for the accommodation of passengers and goods, the whole cost of which will not exceed £2,600 per mile. The economical system of railways now sanctioned by the success on the continent. An important and well-known g r agn G g h setZt, R awtvetycasa completed by the Indian bovernment, and ready tor the rails. It is 27 miles in length, extending from Nulhatee, a station On the E.ast Indian main line, to Moorshedabad, the ancient capital of' Rowel, a city, with its suburbs,containing upwards 1 of 200,000 hihaNtants. The district through which the sire passes is one of the richest and most pepulous in Bengal—the population to the scg.'are mile being 441, against 321 for all Bengal (the population of England Is only 332), while the re venue it returns is about dotiZje the average of all Bengal. Near the Nulhatee Station coo- Mines have been opened, and at e aftl in coals towards MoorslVtclaba,i begun, which will b greatly increased by the °petting of the proposed branch line. By extending the Nulhatee branch from !tfoorshedabad on to Bugwangola, on the Ganges, only eight miles further, a very large traffic to and from that important mart will be accommodated ; and the company propose to make this ex tension so soon as the roadway now under construction by the Government is completed. It is to be remarked that the receipts of the main lines in India fellow very , nearly the ratio of the population ; but basing the calculations up_on this line receiving only one-half its di n proportion of traffic, and making ample allowance for workig expenses which have been very fully estimated, the return would yield a dividend of upwards of 10 per cent. From the proximity of the line to Calcutta, and the facility with which materials can reach it, andufro , from the company having only to lay sown toe rails and supply e re rolling stock, this first branch lbate can be completed and opened for traffic within twelve months of this date, and at an outlay not exceeding £70,t00. portent th t e r vi oa e d w s .t i o n th co e n ir n b ec ei n io g n u i red th The Government of India are preparing to construct im- Wilscu, - the company's ent-d for rhiet light existing railways,tr u trunk d lin isi es r: been in communication , life.fh-ien-chief, who has already despatched to India to complete neg otiations cessions to the company.

It may be observed:that, in going through committee, the numerical strength of the opposition then endeavouring to impede the progress of the measure' was tested point blank by a division in regard to one of the clauses—clause 3, running in the original draft of the Bill, " Nor shall the opinion of any medical practitioner be taken in proof of insanity !" It has long been proverbial, of course, that doctors do unquestionably differ. And, if the extent :to which they differ needs at any time to be conclusively demonstrated, we need only turn to a consideration of the evidence of " experts" upon a given case like that in regard to the sanity or insanity of young Mr. WINDHAM. A certain number of mad doctors, of professional witnesses, of scientific men qualified, one would say, to arrive at a rational conclusion upon the question at issue, a certain number of medical men, surgeons or physicians, are called into the wit ness box by the opposing sides. A dozen or a score, say this another dozen or another score (you can get any number of them) say that. Looking at the same array of facts, they arrive at diametrically opposite conclusions. And as to the value of such evidence itself, namely, as to the " opinion" simply of any given medical practitioner, the Lord Chancellor gave yesterday -- in the course of his very able argument on clause 3 as it stood—a most amusing illustration. Refer ring to a certain inquiry of this kind, without, of course, specifying the name of it, the Chancellor remarked that " half-a-dozen medical witnesses went to see the subject of the inquiry, and the evi dence given by one was that the decay of mental power might be set down as part due to mania and part to paralysis ; and that if the paralysis had I occurred without mania, the probability was that he should have found her mind in a state of decay without delusions. The doctor adduced as proof of the patient's insanity that she could not tell how much £lOO a year was a week. But on cross-exa mination the counsel asked him., in his turn, if he could tell, and the learned doctor was observed to hesitate. Said the counsel ' Don't be nervous, how much is it ?' Said the doctor, ' I decline to state.' Said the counsel, ' Is it that you will not, or that you cannot tell ?' Said the doctor, ' I decline to answer; Nevertheless, this medical gentleman covered his retreat with a cloud of ' sesquipedalia verba,' and said, ' I should call the case a mixture of chronic mania and dementia, or, speaking in popular language, a mixture of fatuity and mania in a mind which had previously been sound.' " Now that is exactly a ease in point. It serves to illustrate distinctly the fact that the mere " opinion" of medical practitioners given in this loose off-hand manner in a court of justice, ten on one side and ten on the other, is in itself utterly valueless. There is no end to it either, except so far as the length or shortness of the purse upon each side might tend to restrict or to increase the number of professional men called pro and con into the witness-box. Otherwise one might array in formidable processions, upon this side and upon that, now the whole divided aggregate of M.M.R.C.S.,now the whole catalogue of learned and unlearned men, whose names are inscribed (there are happily not very few of the latter) upon the living list of the Royal College of Physicians. Never anywhere (more glaringly than in instances of this:character) it is a matter of such absolute cer tainty, upon evidence of a professional kind, that the result will be, as the familiar phrase is—six and half-a-dozen. And it is to get rid of evidence of this description, as really, to all intents and pur poses, as we have said, valueless, that clause 3 was introduced there, in the very preamble of the New Lunacy Bill by the Chancellor—a clause declaring, as we have seen, that henceforth no " opinion" of a medical practitioner shall be taken in proof of in sanity. Reasonable, as all past experience tells us, though the clause is upon the very face of it— strange to say, it was opposed last evening, so to speak, tooth and nail, as though it were really some perilous and rash innovation, it was op posed in this way by two learned ex-Chan cellors, sitting upon opposite sides of the House of Lords, by Lord CHELMSFORD and by Lord CRAN 1 WORTH. Ineffectually opposed, we cannot but re joice to remember now : otherwise one:of the most valuable clauses of a truly admirable bill, would have been hastily :erased from it—the retention of clause 3 upon the bill being decided by a clear majority of twelve in a House of sixty-four, 38 voting for the clause and only 26 against it. With a few trifling modifications, the Bill of Chancellor WESTBURY has passed there fore in its integrity through committee, and on Thursday it is to be read a third time ; so that it will be carried down to the House of Commons long before the Easter Holidays can have commenced. Out of evil, consequently, is again coming good. The Windham Inquiry resulting by necessity, as it seems, in this wholesome readjustment of the Laws relating to Lunacy. On the twenty first of July, 1861, the Federal Forces fled in headlong panic before the Confede- rates at BULL'S RUN. On the seventh of March, 1862, the Confederate forces left the works which gained them the victory, without firing a shot. On the 10th of this month the Northern army of the Potomac advanced to find a second time that they had no enemy to encounter. Thus ends the long-played drama of Manassas and Bull's Run. A reconnoitring troop of 2,000 men treads the ground over which their comrades trod the reverse way, shrieking for their lives last summer, and all to find —nothing at Centreville—nothing at Manassas, but the blackened and burnt remains of all that could not be carried away. This looks like a confession of Northern power and superiority on the Potomac ; probably caused in part by the rapid development of the strength of the Northwest forces in Kentucky and Tennessee, and the with drawal of Confederate troops westward. But yet it reads somewhat ingloriously. The 21st of last July seemed to demand some nobler atonement than the deliberate retreat of the victorious army before over whelming numbers. Still, the substantial gain must be with the North. Gordon's-ville, to which the Confederates are said to have retreated, is only about 50 miles from Richmond itself, the Virginian capital. The .21'ery York Times regards the retreat as a confession that the war is ended. A very pre mature conclusion, especially so when the now cele brated naval battle and victory at the mouth of St. James River occurred the same day as the evacua tion of Manassas. The PRESIDENT has now, however, become both politically and militarily bold. He has carried his emancipation proposal in the House of Representa tivesby the large majority, 88 to 31, and will doubt less carry it in the Senate. But he means by mili tart' occupation to make it as desi rable for haughty Virginia to accept payment for its slaves as for Maryland or Kentucky to do so. On last Saturday the to West ern Vi rg inia, was to advance ; and, though to army of the Potomac, fro m Fort Monroe what it has to do with the Northern movement we do not exactly see, the naval force in the Gulf of Mexico was to be ready for action on the same day. Northern Virginia would seem to be quite open to the Federals. Their opponents have now aban- Boned the whole of the Potomac quite down to the sea ; indeed the Confederates have been able to de stroy their own batteries on the river, and to burn the only Confederate steamer they found on it. We shall soon hear, however, whether the Confederates make a serious stand anywhere north of Richmond itself. Success also attends the Federal arms in the West, as well as in Virginia. General HALLECK is again victorious with his Missouri army over the rebels in that part, having eompletely routed them, after three days' hard fighting, in the slave State of Arkansas itself. The losses are reported as very large on both sides, but we may hope, as usual, largely exaggerated. In Tennessee the Con federates are reported to have made a stand at a place where four railroads meet ; its name is un known to maps, and probably incorrectly given. We read of a further stand made by the Confede rates on an island in the Mississippi, and of General BEAUREGARD, who has been long lost from sight in the West, going thither to lead them. The sum, however, of the whole is, that, with exception of the naval victory, the Confederates are everywhere giving way. Whether they will be able to make a better resis tance by concentrating their forces remains to be seen. They are being rapidly pressed back to the planting States; and as to the coast, this very mail informs us that another of the Southern ports, the one on the confines of Georgia and Florida, has been added to the list of Federal conquests. We shall now see what is the reported determination of the South. Whether they will be dispirited and make terms, or fight to the last, time only can tell. We do not believe in the commisariat difficulties of advancing through Virginia on which the journal which advo cates the Southern cause in England lays such stress. Nature will not fight for the South till the States are reached which are almost in a state of nature. It will be of little use, however, for their sparse populations, moro than half of them negroes, to think of setting up for themselves. All must follow, if Virginia, the Carolinas, and Georgia are lost to the South, and they are all accessible to the Federal arms both by sea and by land. LATEST NEWS.

LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 1862. The boast of JEFFERSON DAVIS that the Confede rates were prepared to dispute " the vaunted naval supremacy of the North" turns out not to have been a vain one. For some time it has been reported that the old Merrimac was being iron-plated and equipped to do battle for the South, but we hardly expected to hear that she had suddenly come out from Norfolk Navy Yard, and in fair open fight had sunk one Federal man-of-war, and, apparently by the terror created by the act, had caused another to surrender. Yet such is the fact. It is also the fact that another iron-clad Federal vessel being brought into action, the two ironsides fought fiercely for five hours, the Merrimac being at last obliged to retire, though not much injured. With what intense interest will all our naval men scrutinise, as they arrive, the details of these ac tions. They are the first in the history of naval warfare between both iron and wood, and iron and iron. In the brief form in which we have the ac counts today , they are quite a study. The Merri mac herself was protected by all the ingenuity of American mechanics, perhaps the most inventive and ingenious in the world. She was covered with plates, bows and stern alike, down to two feet be low the water line. The sloping arrangement, "like the roof of a house," was adppted ; and it was so far successful that the broadsides of the Cum berland and the Congress, which e expect to find mounted heavy guns, did her no harm whatever. By the next day the newly iron plated Federal ship, the Monitor, was brought up ; we are not told in what form she was plated, but as nothing is said , we expect to find that it was in the less remarkable and ordinary manner. Yet the Monitor succeeded at last in forcing a hole thro u g h the port side of the Merrimac. Of course, we are curious to learn the comparative power of the guns of each ship, as well as the style of the plating. abn. The Monitor was uninjured , however, after five hours' firing, and we expect to fi nd that her oppo nent was armed with some of the m ost formidable of the numerous guns which wer e left to the Con federatesw awas combustible Norfolk s Navy htoad y b ard urn an a a l l that a don it. The battle, however, fully illustrated one thing the absolute helplessness of a wooden sailing ship against an iron-clad steamer. Not only were the broadsides of the wooden ships harmless as against their iron opponent, but their sails did not enable them to steer out of her way, and their wood crashed before the iron beaks of the Merrimac. We have been told, on very high authority too, that if an iron steam ram charged an enemy, the sudden shock would tear loose from any fasten ings, the engines of the ram herself, and so cripple her. The Merrimac has settled that question. She sustained two such shocks, and her engines did their duty perfectly the next day. With the exception of the broadside, the encoun ter takes us back to the days of SALAMIS, when banks of oars supplied to the Greeks and their opponents the place of steam, rendering the galleys equally independent of wind and tide. The Merrimac dashes, like an Athe nian galley of old, into the side of her enemy, draws back, fires a broadside into the disabled vessel, steams at her again with her iron beak, and leaves her to sink. _ _ " Woe worth, woe worth thee, wicked wood, Had the wooden vessel, however, been a steamer , and a faster one, this exploit would have been impossible. Had she been one only equal in speed, and more quickly obedient to the helm than the Merrimac, the latter could not have easily run into her. The battle might have been like so many we have read of in antiquity, when each ship was endeavouring to get the position in which she could drive her iron beak, with the most advantage, into the other's side or bows. The Confederates will, even by the Northerns, be acknowledged to have earned this naval success Several of the ablest naval officers belonged to their party, and the ships are said to have been ably handled. It is but eleven months since the Gosport navy yard at Norfolk was burnt ; yet all resource less as they were presumed to be, and with Fort Monroe, on the opposite side of the narrow channel, which leads to the navy yard, in possession of the Federals, the Confederates have yet contrived to re store the workshops, to raise the Merrimac, to plate her with iron, and to render her a vessel which would not be despised by the Ironsides of Europe. Under the circumstances, they must receive the praise of great naval vigour; and were the war to close to morrow none would grudge them the honour of able administration, and skilful and brave fight ing. One Federal ship sunk, another captured, and a five hours' fight, sustaining only temporary damage, are the first fruits of Southern naval rowess. , The Lunacy Bill we may now regard as safe Read a first and second time in the House of Lords with only a show of obstruction—visible oddly enough on the Ministerial side of the House as well as on the side lof the Government—the bill, with scarcely any modification or abridgment, last night passed through committee. It is to be read a third time the day after to-morrow, namely, on Thursday, the 27th March, and—or the tables will indeed have been turned in the most unlooked-for manner at the eleventh hour—there and then passed accordingly. So that, already, it would hardly be premature to to say that the WINDHAM case, so truly lamentable in itself, has not been without its good results. The y o ung master of Felbrigge Hall, in the county of Norfolk may, from this point of view, at least, be said, and said truly, to have not lived in vain ! Out of the very extravagance of a now famous levia than inquisition instituted at the instance of certain loving friends and relatives of—we need not say whom—with a view to discover (in the most disin terested way possible) the question as to the sanity or the insanity of an eccentric young harum-scaru m, rakish, raffish country gentleman—out of that mamoth inquiry gocd has come at any rate for all future Enfans Prodigues ! The repetition of the sca n d a lous waste of time and m one y recently witnessed with so much indignation by y the i general public, first of all during s everal we ,is i the Court of her MAJESTY'S bEx chequer, and afterwards during several more weeks in the crowded Session House of THE OUTWARD BOMBAY MAIL.

The Moniteur of to-day contains the following official account of the reception by the Emperor of the deputation bearing the address of the Corps Legislatif : The Emperor, in reply to Count de Morny, who presented the address, said :—" The adhesion of the Corps Legislatif is the more valuable to me, as the discussion of the address offered a spectacle worthy of attention. As unhappily extreme opin ions are most forward to display themselves, and as respect for the liberty of speech causes them to be heard in silence, the public often take this silence for tacit acquiescence. But your address has now dispersed all these clouds, has put matters in their true light, and re-established confidence. I receive with real satisfaction the -expression _I of the feelings of the Corps Legislatif. People have been too much moved by the simple an nouncement of certain financial measures. A system can only be well judged when taken as a whole. The one proposed contains at once aug mentations and diminutions of taxes and resources for extraordinary public works which can either be developed or restricted. This question will, how ever, be discussed by common agreement, and I do not doubt that with the spirit of conciliation which should animate all, the committee on the budget and the Council of State will act in concert to bring about a solution in conformity with the wishes of the Chamber and the general interest. Be good enough, therefore, to be my interpreter, and express to your colleagues my gratitude for the concurrence, which I am convinced will never fail me; assure them that I have no desire to separate myself too soon from a Chamber whose enlighten ment and patriotism afford to the country all the guarantees which it can desire." The Fresse of this evening states that the Frenoh naval division has anchored off the Piraeus. The English and Turkish squadrons had arrived there previously.

Crispi to the Marquis Gus tave Cavour :-- "I have twice receive I from, you an invitation to be present at meetings of our colleagues at which you preside. The declaration which I made after the discussion on the interpellations of M. Gallenga sufficiently explains my line of voting. I belong to the Parliamentary Left, and I have nothing to do at the private political meetings of men who have been, and continue to be, the opponents of my opinions. I avail . myself of this opportunity of saying so.—F. CRISPI." The Monitore dell' Armata of Turin announces that the Italian army is soon to be reorganised on the following footing :—The regiments of infantry and of -engineers are to be raised to four active battalions, and a fifth in depot, each composed of four companies. The regiments of cavalry are to be reduced from six to four squadrons, and one of depot. Sixteen new regiments of infantry and four of cavalry are to be formed, and a seventh corps d'arinee created, into which the volunteers of the Southern army are to be incorporated, together with part of this year's recruits. The command of this 7th corps is to be entrusted to General Garibaldi, and thus the fusion of the Southern army with the regular one will be complete. GREECE. Under the head of " Latest Intelligence," La P atrie publishes the following :—" Various foreign journals announce that, in consequence of the de velopment of the insurrection, the King and Queen of Greece have left Athens. Precise information enables ns to declare that the statement is un founded. According to the last dates the King and Queen of Greece had not left their capital, which was quite tranquil. The Chambers continued to sit, and their deliberations had not been marked by any peculiar incident. The commanders of the naval divisions of the different Powers were assem bled at the Pincus. The English division had been increased ny two ships of war from Malta." The Independance Belge says :—" A mystery still hangs over the real state of the insurrection in Greece. To clear it up and discover the respective chances of the two parties, the French Government intends sending two officers of the Staff to the scene of action. The capture of the outworks of NanrAia is attributed by private correspondence from Trieste to the negligence of the besieged, rather, tl , ,an to the valour or number of the besiegers. The former allowed themselves to be taken by surprise. It was supposed that, disheartened by this loss, the insur genta would have surrendered, but as yet the tele graph has not announced the occupation of Nanplia by the Royalist troops." PRUSSIA. Our advices from Berlin are to the 23d inst. The anniversary of the King's birthday was celebrated on the 22d with the usual ceremonies. The King has taken the opportunity to cenfer upon ex- Minister von Auerswald, as an acknowledgment of the services he has rendered to the State, the Order of the Crown (first class) and the title of Count of Marienburg (Oberburggraf)• It will be remembered that the same title was conferred by Frederick William IV. upon the Minister von Schon when he retired from office. The dignity implies a high place at Court. M. von Auerswald is in a very precarious state of health. He was to leave Berlin shortly for his native pro vince, and then proceed to some watering place. The electors of Elberfeld have requested him to stand as candidate in the coming elections, but he has declined, on the plea of ill-health. Count Schwerin proceeds on a tour with his family to Venice. He will stand for his former constituency. Whether M. von Patow will come forward is not l yet known. The elections will probably be fixed for the 25th of April. POLAND. (From our own Correspondent.) WARSAW, MARCH 17, 1862. I mentioned in my last letter the arrest of Mr. Alexander Zamoyski, who was employed in the Law Credit :Society. The manner in which he had been seized upon was most brutal—the door of his apartment, being found locked, was broken open with a hatchet, and himself dragged out into the fortress, where he was sentenced to receive 200 lashes. He was charged with having printed and circulated national proclamations and an address to the Archbishop of Warsaw, a crime which even the recent mock pardon of the Emperor could not tole rate. But the work of persecution and despotism does not seem to end in this much-oppressed coun try. No one is free from the tyrannical proceed ings of the police ; and, in spite of the new regula tion which permits people to walk in the streets with a lantern till 11 o'clock at night, the arrests continue daily, and the courts-martial are in full operation. The Russian authorities, and especially General Rosnow, are exhausting every possible means to discover the authors of the clandestine journals, and of a revolutionary conspiracy of which no one dreams here. It is a well-known Russian dodge always to put forward some pretext of the kind, in order to show the Emperor how indispen sable it is for the public safety that the state of s i eg e should be further prolonged. The most ferocious persecution and vengeance are levelled against the clergy, numbers of whom are pining away in the dungeons of the Russian fortresses. The Rev. Mr. Swistlowski, vicar of Kertno, imprisoned in the fortress of Modlin, has just died from the extreme humidity of the casemate in which he was lodged. He was an excel ' lent man, a great scholar, and a most eloquent preacher. Victim of the Muscovite cruelty and re• venge, ho leaves behind him a most cherished rem)) lection, and a name which will be inscribed, in ' daily-increasing list of the martyrs of Poland. At Lewczyca, owing to the profanation of soldiers, the cathedral is closed, the curate, the Rev. Mr. Zukowski, is incarcerated in the fortress of Modlin, and the vicar, the Rev. Mr. Ruszkowski, has been transported into the depth of Russia. The same sys temlreigns in the ancient Polish provinces of Podolia, Volhynia, and the Ukraine, where the military governors got up a fresh war against the national costumes, classing them among the most dangerous instrument of propagandism ; a pair of boots called "patriotic" by the police, if found worn, render the owner liable to a fine from 6 to 7 roubles, about one sovereign in the English coin. A much heavier tax, varying from 25 to 40 roubles, is set on the national costume, and the singing of a national air subjects the amateur who indulges in this rare en joyment to the payment of 120 roubles into the Czar's exhausted exchequer. It may well be ima gined what a golden harvest such perquisites must be to the venal Russian functionaries, not excepting the governor-generals themselves. The official journal in this city confirms the re port circulated of the murder of the men named Sexupak and Sisruope, committed by the Muscovite soldiery, whose atrocious conduct becomes worse every day ; and also that several Russian officers, suspected of too close an intimacy wi th the Poles, have been sent to the most distant part of Russia. A number of persons have also been arrested in consequence of the publication of a very interesting pamphlet, entitled " One word addressed by Poland to the Archbishop Felinski." On the whole the country is quiet, though deter mined to stand up by its rights. A great impulse has been given by the educated classes to the ele mentary instruction in the villages, which is eagerly sought after both by the young and the adults. But for the constant impediments thrown in the way of elevating the lower strata of society, number less schools would have been established through out the land. The land proprietors spare no expense, and would make cheefful sacrifices to e spread s are education du e the schoolsmn theog people, win existence. and t o their The same spirit pervades the students, whose numbers have greatly increased. They emulate each other in the love of study, and the dili gence bestowed upon it, A good monarch and an honest Government could take advantage of such a disposition of the country, and render it com paratively happy, by seconding the exertions of all the classes of the community ; by restoring to the Poles the rights which have been trampled upon, and making them feel that instead of being their oppressors they are their friends and protectors. Alas ! are the Muscovites capable of, or willing to act the part of a civilised Government? The Archbisop Felinski becomes more popular every day, and also more convinced of the deception practised upon him while at St. Petersburgh re garding the state of things here. Since his arrival he has displayed the greatest activity in the exer cise of his sacred calling. He has introduced many useful and beneficial reforms in the study and dis cipline of the seminaries; he visits daily some establishment which is under his superintendence ; he has sacrificed part of his salary to the further ance of the various improvements in the Ecclesias tical Academy, for which he has given up one part of the Palace in which he resides. Such conduct, whilst it wins fox him the hearts of all the Poles, renders him an object of suspicion to the Russians, who see in it a palpable refutation of the erroneous notions they endeavour to spread in Europe, in: Poland, and the Polish nation.

The Merrimac then ran into the Cumberland with her iron prow, literally laying open her Bides ; she then drew off, fired a broadside irAo the Cumberland, and again dashed at her,. knocking in her side, and left her to sink. The Congress, which had kept up a brisk engage ment with the Yorktown and the Jamestown, then struck her colours and surrendered. The Federal frigates Minnesota and St. Lawrence were being towed to the assistance of the Cumber land and the Congress, when the MintAesota got aground and could render no assistance,. During the following night the new Federal iron-plated Ericsson steamer Monitor arrived at Fortress Mon roe, and in the morning was attacked by the Merri mac. These two vessels fought five hours, during which they nearly touched each other, the Monitor finally succeeding in forcing a hole in the port side of the Merrimac, which thereupon retired with the Confederate fleet to Norfolk. The Monitor was uninjured, The Confederates set fire to the Con gress and blew her up. Fifty men e.re supposed to have been killed on board the Congress, and 150 were killed and wounded oil board the Cumberland. Nobody in the Monitor was hurt. The sides, bows, and stern of the Morrimac were covered with sloping iron plates, exteuding two feet below the water line, and meeting above like the roof of Et house. At her bows, on her water line, were two sharp iron points resembling prows, six or seven feet apart. Her number of guns is (stated to be 12, which were seen projecting from long elliptical port holes.
