He fell, overcome by the noxious gases, and was removed by a fireman.. Chief Engineer Stimers now took charge, and after some hard work, the sea in the meantime subeidirg,, succeeded in righting matters." Of the engagement he says : " The noise on board the:Monitor was terrific—the striking of blot against her sides and the turret, the awful noise of her own guns, the whizzing of shut over the decks, and the explosion of those enormous‘ rifle shells when they Ltruck, made a terrible din. When the guns recoiled the noise of the massive pendulums swinging by and closing the ports re verberated throughout the vessel. The men on board worked like heroes, covered with perspiration and begrimed with powder. Once or twice during the action all hands ' spliced the main brace.'" It is related by an official who took charge of Lieutenant Warden, of the Monitor, on his journey from Fortress Monroe to Washington, that— " Leaving him to the care of my wife, I went with the Secretary to the President, and gave him the particulars of the engagement. As soon as I had done, Mr. Lincoln said, ' Gentlemen, I am going to shake hands with that man,' and presently he walked round with me to our little house. I led him upstairs to the room where Worden wa s lying, with fresh bandages over his scorched eyes and face, and said, Jack, here's the President, who has come to see you.' He raised himself on hi s elbow, as Mr. Lincoln took him by the hand, and said, ' You do me great honour, Mr. President, and lam only sorry that I can't see you.' The Presie dent was visibly affected, as with tall frame and earnest gaze he bent over his wounded subordinate, but, after a pause he said, with a quiver in the tones of his voice, You have done me more honour, sir, than I ever can do to you.' He then sat down, while Wordcn gave him an account of the battle, and on leaving he promised, if ho could legally do so, that he would make him a captain.' Advices from Fortress Monroe to the 16th report the arrival of a committee from Washington to in,. quire into the recent naval engagement " These gentlemen arrived at an early hour this morning, and at once proceeded to inspect the ves sels in the harbour and. report upon their condition, as also to examine the Monitor and make a full re port to Congress. They first took a steamer and proceeded to Newport News, but nothing was to be seen of the noble Cumberland but her upper yards, which were above the water. The Congress had disappeared. The Whitehall lay a charred mass. The Minnesota was next visited and inspected; she is not injured in any material way. The little Monitor was next the subject of inspection. The shown over every part—the various committee places where weresh othad struck, the blow which she received from the prow of the Merrimac, then the deck, the interior arrangements, the tower —every part was carefully and critically examined. The Engineer-in-Chief, Mr. Stimer, explained every thing to the committee. The committee leave to night, delighted with the Monitor, and unanimously believing she will whip the Merrimac next time she ventures out. The Merrimac is looked for daily. The committee will recommend permanent batteries for harbours, and vessels for sea-coast de fence, on the same plan of defence." RAILWAY _INTELLIGENCE. GREAT WESTERN OF CANADA. It appears from the statement of accounts for the the year ended the 31st of January last that the net earnings of the line will justify the board in re commending a dividend for the half-year at the rate of 3 per cent. per annum, leaving a balance or £21,508 to be carried over, which includes the sur plus of the previous half-year.

Lein Sondes was in the chair. Mr. Brooke, the assistant-secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, Mr. Newman, the solicitor, read the heads of the bill. Mr. HARTRIDGE said it was understood out of doors that it was not the intention of the directors to proceed with the bridge across the Thames at Blackfriars. _ _ Sir C. RONEY said the hon. proprietor had been completely misinformed. (Hear.) He then read a letter from Messrs. Pete and Co., which the board had received that morning. It earnestly impressed upon the board the importance of constructing the the obring bridge at Blackfriars, not only t o th e company, but also to the contractors, requesting board to bring every influence they possiblycould to about an early decision on the subject. Sir M. Peto, on the part of the firm, had also called the attention of the Lord Mayor to the serious position in which the contractors were placed by the non-decision o the city authorities with regard to the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway bridge, stating that, in the anticipation of an early decision, the contrac tors had made all their, arrangements for plant, iron, and every detail. The company had also spent up wards of £lOO,OOO in obtaining land for the bridge on both sides of the river. In reply to a question, Sir:C. RoNEY said that there was no subject upon which his colleagvm at the Board felt greater anxiety than that of commencing the bridges across the Thames without further loss of time. (Hear.) Mr. FORBES stated, in reply to a remark, that the executive attached the utmost importance to the goods station on the river at Blackfriars, and to the construction of the bridge. The motion approving the bill was then carried. An extraordinary meeting was t hen held, and, on the motion of the Chairman , s econded b y Sir C.

The Oxford gentlemen concluded their practice upon the Isis on Tuesday afternoon, and their boat was immediately started for Putney by Messrs. Salter, her builders. The crew arrived at Mr. Kirby' a, tho White Lion Tavern, Put- Roy, at half-past 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and after a luncheon went out for a row, although the rain fell heavily at the time. They got into their cutter at the London Rowing Club boat-house, whither it had been conveyed, and proceeded upwards over the course chosen for this spirit stirring event, against the ebb, in their training flannels. They sat their boat admirably, and rowed with great power. Their style is rather lofty and exceedingly good, but their time is capable of improvement, as it mostly is with crews first launched upon different water to what thou have been used to. Wl6lidut /nuking the usual allowances for u be ginning, it may bo depended upon that it will take a very first-rate crew, if they keep in their present fine condition, to beat them. They have great strength and know how to use it. The following were the rowers : st. lb. 1. Mr. W. B. Woodgato, Braman ll 6 2. Mr. C. S. Wynne, Christ Church 3. Mr. W. B. R.

Their boat, which is at Simmons's yard, at Putney, is also built by Messrs. Salter expressly for the occasion. She was sent to Cambridge on the 19th ult., and gives great satisfaction. The Oxford boat is the one in which they were victorious last year. Both crews have ac cepted the invitation of the Thames Subscription Club for themselves and one friend each gentleman to dine at Willis's Rooms after the race on Saturday week, and doubtless other members of the Universities will avail themselves of the op • portunity of obtaining tickets in the ordinary mode, in order to be present at this great aquatic gathering, which is to be presided over by the Hon. G. Denman, ono of the greatest rowing men of his day. THE NAVY. We are happy to learn that the reported loss of Her Majesty's ship Plover, Commander the Hon. Armar Corry, on the coast of Mexico, is without foundation. It appears from a letter by the last mail that she touched in attempting to cross the bar of Alvarado, and that before she could be got off a heavy gale (a " norther" as it is there called, which after a quarter of an hour is at its height) came on, and washed her up on the beach, where she re mained for twelve days, when, with the assistance of other vessels of the combined squadron, she was hove off, having sustained but little injury. In order to effect this it was necessary to take out her engines, guns, masts, which was a service of some danger, as the boats employed on it were re peatedly upset by the heavy surf which surrounded her. When the mail left the Plover was with the squadron at Vera Cruz. The Arethusa, 51 guns, left Sheerness harbour on Tuesday last for the trial of her engines at the mea sured mile off Maplin Sands. As reported in The Sun 3f the 24th nit., the Arethusa is the second compteted of three vesst.is of 500-horse power nomi nal, the machinery of which has been specially con structed with a view to their being economically worked. The Arethusa is fitted by Messrs. John Penn and Son with a pair of expansive trunk engines with two:cylinders Hi inches in diameter, which are surrounded by steam jackets, the length of stroke being 42 inches, with surface condensers containing nearly six miles of 1-inch tubing. The boilers, four in number, are tubular, with four fur naces to each, and are fitted with super-heating ap paratus. They occupy one-eighth less space than the regular boilers for similar power. The ship's steam and water gauges are Bourdon's patent. There is no attempt made to raise the temperature by pass ing the feed water through a water space; the water is merely pumped into a tank and thence run into the boiler. The performance of the machinery throughout the trial was most satisfactory, and the consumption of coal about half the usual quantity. The vessel was in charge of Captain T. P. Thomson, chief of the Steam Reserve of Sheerness; Mr. W. Price, inspector of machinery afloat, and Mr. S. Townsend, foreman of Sheerness dockyard, attend ing to watch the results. The engines were under the superintendence of Mr. T. Holliday ; Mr. John Penn, and Mr. Matthews, of the firm of J. Penn and Son, were also in attendance. The following are the results of the six runs at the mile with full power :—The first run, 4min 18sec ; speed, 13953 knots; pressure of steam, 25; revolution of engines, 66, The second run, smin 23 sec ; speed, 11.146 knots ; pressure, 25 ; 66.

The averages at half-boiler power were as follows :—Speed, 10.851 knots ; pressure of steam, 201 b ; revolution of engines, 60 ; vacuum, 28 ; depth of water forward, 17ft ; do. aft, 211 t.

The troops were landed from the ship by Government steamer, and for warded by train to Shorncliffe. The screw steamship Hydaspes, Captain George Henry Foster, 2,245 tons register, with a general cargo of indigo, &c., from Calcutta December 9, Madras December 21, and Ascension February 24, was off Plymouth on Wednesday, bound for London. 1 She has brought home 82 invalids, principally from the 75th and 76th Regiments and Royal Artillery, under command of Captain Pyrn, 75th Regiment, and 23 :passengers, three of whom (Mr. Brown, King's Dragoon Guards; Mr. Mears, 36th Madras Native Infantry ; and Mr. Campbell, Royal Artil lery) landed here.

Jeffers had been appointed to the command of the Monitor. A correspondent, who accompanied him on board, gives an interesting description of the vessel : " As we approached this novel naval wonder I was struck with the pertness of the Norfolk description of her as A Yankee cheese box on a raft.' It gives a better idea of her appearance than any of the engravings or descriptions in the New York papers. They all fail to afford a correct idea of the general appearance of the vessel, and especially when she is in action. She is oval-shaped, 172 ft long and 41ft in with at the centre. Her hull rises perpendi cularly out of the water, as straight all round as the sides of a stone wall, and as flat on the top as a table, without any rail or guards around her. She has two square smoke stacks, about 7 feet in height, but in time of action these are re moved, and the smoke and steam come through grates in the deck, the iron of which is about 8 inches thick. Nothing remains on her deck but the pilot house, which is a square iron statue, about aft high, about the size of an ordinary dry-goods box. When walking her deck, although anchored at the end of Hampton Bar, where the sea is quite rough, not the slightest motion of the waves could be felt. Her deck is as firm and steady as a rock. The tower rises about 9ft. from the deck, and looks, when close to it, like a large gasometer or gas holder. On closely examining it, however, you find that its sides and top are about ono foot thick, while the whole tower is 22 feet in diameter, and that it has two oviii-shaped port-heles, elos‘ GZI Ana' side, not more than two feet aPart, and'not ; than three feet above the deck, The interior of the tower exhibits still stronger the superior strength of the vessel. There is a solidity about it that makes the thought of any earthly power disturbing its movements or penetrating its interior seem simply ridiculous. An examination of this part of the vessel explains the confidence which her officers and men have in her entire and complete invulnera bility. They say, We fear nothing on land or water, and are ready, whenever the order is given, to proceed to Norfolk or Richmond.' The guns set side and side in the centre of the tower, and are intended to be fired simultaneously, the close proxi mity of the muzzles of the two guns enabling the two balls to strike the sides of the enemy in similar proximity to each other. The'moment the guns are fired two immense pillars of steel on the inside, about six feet long, two feet in width, and one in thickness, slide before the portholes, completely closing them, and protecting the gunners from the balls of the enemy. There are marks on the tower and hull of about 20 balls, and some of them seem to have struck the tower fair and square, with no more apparent effect than could be produced by the blow of a sledge-hammer. The paint is rubbed off, and, if repainted, it would be difficult to discover where mcst of the shots struck. The gunners of the enemy seem, however, to have clearly abandoned the attempt to damage the tower, though most of their balls, even there, were aimed at the portholes, three striking in close proximity. Two of the six or seven marks on the tower aro said to have been accidental shots from the guns of the Minnesota. The greater part of the shot-marks are on the edge of the hull, which, it should be remem bered, does not rise more than 12 inches out of the water. They seem to have been under the impression that there must be a weak spot under neath the water-line, and they hammered away all round, but here too the invulnerability of the Monitor was equally great, and the indentations are only to the extent of the fraction of an inch. There is a small fracture of the edge of the iron at one point, which only seems to show its great strength at a point which might be supposed to be the weakest. The shot that struck the square pilot-house did little more than knock the cement out. Had the pilot-house been round instead of square, as it is now proposed to make it, the ball would have glanced off and lost half of its force, I and failed to injure the eyes of the gallant com mander. He is, however, I am pleased to learn, rapidly recovering. The retiring of the Merrimac from the contest with her insignificant antagonist is not to be wondered at when the exercise of all the power she possessed, for 5 hours, had done little more than deface her paint. The attempt of the Merrimac to run her down left no mark on the h hull. on er iron except some splinters from her ti on which aro sticking to a nut and screw She struck her precisely experiment site the centre of the tower, and, this having so entirely failed, it was evident. that no amidships, .directly oppo site its repetition. The not over . five knots an hopes could be entained speed of the Merrimac is On of the Merri hour, while that of athetoMoonneitoofr is about outseven. patting the question runners as to e s peed, and the ability their relative mac to run sway from the Monitor, he replied, AVe would like to see her attempt it. She would following be at our mercy, and, by then close in her wa ke, w© could soon ; eLpple, if not destroy, her rudder and propeller.' A more enthusiastic and confident set of men never manned a ship, and they all express an anxiety that they will soon have another opportunity to meet her." One of the crewf othe Monitor, describing the passage of that vessel from New York to Fortress Monroe, say s " The vessel proceeded safely and comfortably until the afternoon of Friday, March 11, when the Wo present this morning three views of the iron-plated Monitor. The interest which attaches to this vessel is intense. The engravings aro from drawings executed while the Monitor was at New York, and are accurate. CAPTAIN ERICSSON'S MONITOR.

She is a long, wide and flat bottomed vessel, with vortical sides and pointed ends, requiring but a very shallow depth of water to float in, though heavily loaded with impregnable armor on her sides, and a bomb-proof deck on which is placed a shot-proof revolving turret. She is so low in the water as to afford no target for an enemy, and everything and everybody is below the water line, with the exception of tho persons working the guns, who are proteoted by the shot proof turret.

The inclination of the lower hull is such that a ball to strike it in any part mast pass through at least 25 feet of water, and then strike an inclined iron surface at an angle of about ten degrees. In the event of the enemy boarding the battery they can do no harm, as the only entrance is at the top of the tin Alt or citadel, which cannot easily be scaled, and even then only one man at a time can descend into the hull. ni® 40 :., 4 , IPir THE TURRET. The turret, of which we give a transverse vertical !section, consists of a rolled plate iron skeleton, one Inch thick, to which are riveted two thicknesses, of one inch each, of rolled iron plates. Outside of this again are six plates of rolled iron, all firmly bolted together with nuts inside, so that if a plate is started, it can ,be at once tightened again. The lower part of the gun-carriages consist of solid wrought iron beams. These are planed perfectly true, and are placed pa 3.010,1 in the turret, both of the guns pointing in theteritte direction. The ports through the side of the turret are only large enough to per mit the muzzle of the gun to be thrust through. In side of them are wrought iron pendulums, which close them against the enemy as soon as the gun recoils. A shell-proof flat roof, of perforated plate iron, placed on forged beams, insezl;ed six inches down tho ULU top. The sliding hatch in this cover is perforated to give lignt, sanu air musketry fire in case the battery is boarded. A spur-wheel, 61 inches in diameter, moved by a double cylinder engine, turns the turret, guns and all—a rod connected with the rurning gear of the engine enabling the gunner to control the aim. SPORTING IN7ELLIG.ENCE. NORTHAMPTON & PYTCHLEY HUNT RACES. WEDNESDAY. The second day of this meeting was rather more flat than its predecessor, although the weather was a trifle brighter. The Spencer Plate and the Althorp-park Stakes had great attractions for the racing community, who attended in large numbers, and made known their opinions of the merits of the various animals they fancied by the spirit with which they backed. them. Great delays took place at the starting post, both with the 2-37-olds and for the Spencer Plate nearly an hour and a half having been by those means wasted. After the latter race a complaint was lodged against four of the light weights, who were summoned before the stewards, and will be heard at Epsom next week. Of the 15 2-yr olds in the Althorp -park Stakes, three only were backed for any amount of money, and they finished first, sesond, and third. In the other race also the layers of odds had tho worst of the betting, as Biondella had been intrusted by her party for a large sum on account of the form she had shown on the preceding day in the Whittlebury Stakes. A sad freak •f temper was, we lament to say, exhibited by the winning jockey in the last race but one ; as it is described below we need simply state here that if such conduct is tolerated the turf will have to return to the old days of "jostle and cross," which aro supposed to have been long since forgotten. Tho last race, set down for 4 45, was not decided until the clock struck 6, when the curtain fell upon two days of dreary weather and excellent sport at North ampton.
