The real question now occupying so much the attention of the naval world—indeed, of the nation —is whether the whole ancient system of naval construction and of naval warfare is to become ob- solete, and the new, radically opposed to the old, to be adopted. There can be no compromise be tween the two. Whether Sir W. Armstrong's or Mr. Whitworth's shot may or may not be driven through a 41in. or 52in. steel plate, or whether the concentrated broadsides of a line-of-battle ship of 68 or even 32 pounders may not crush in the side of an iron-plated vessel, is but a secondary ques tion. I believe both results can be successfully ac complished under given circumstances—the first in practice, and the second when, as Captain Hal sted very well observed, both parties are in fixed rests, and the 40 or 50 broadside guns can be fired by a voltaic battery. It is well known there are a variety of projectiles which are in fallibly destructive to the wooden vessel, but one kind alone may injure the iron-cased vessel—that is, a peculiar shot not yet in general use. The timber-built ship is combustible from truck to water-lines—vulnerable from stem to stern. The iron-cased vessel may be occasionally vulnerable to shot, but is incombustible. The concentrated broad side of a line-of-battle ship may stave in the side of the iron-cased vessel, if the latter would be civil enough to cease all firing, and place herself exactly in the position desired by the liner. It is more pro bable that the iron-cased vessel will commence its THE' ARMY. An official despat ch from the Horse Guards was yesterday received by Gen. Sir Richard Dacre, comrartn.ding at Woolwich, announcing the intention of his Imperial Higness the Grand Duke Michael, of 'Russia, to witness a parade of the Royal Artillery t roops this morning at Woolwich, and afterwards to pay a visit of inspection to the de partmentFi of the Royal Arsenal. In cons equence of the destined removal of Capt. Mercer's, No. 3 field battery, 4th Brigade Royal Artillery, from headquarters, Woolwich, to New Zealand, as stated in The Sun of yesterday, Major G. Davis, V.C., commanding the 7th battery, 15th Brigade Garrison Artillery, at Gosport, is ordered to;repair to Woolwich on receipt of further orders to that effect, and assume the command of a new battery to be organised for the purpose of replacing Capt. Mercer's battery, ordered on foreign service as above stated. The new battery will be equipped With Armstrong guns. The entire arrangement baying been completed for the transfer of the department of the Assistant- Adjutant-General of the Royal Engineers from Chvstham to Whitehall, the whole of the officers of the staff attached to the Assistant-Adjutant -Gene ral's-office, as well as the clerks, have been removed from Brompton Barracks to the Horse Guards, where the duties connected with that department will for the future be carried on.

No steam frigate can do this. The shot-proof steam ram's most effective mode of THE VOLUNTEER MOVEMENT. attack is when she presents her sharp stem to the enemy and uses her front battery. A shot striking her in that position it either must glance off the oblique surface, or, hitting the iron plate obliquely, the shot must have double the quantity to pene- Within the last few weeks a remarkably fine Volunteer Corps, which has escaped public notice, has been embodied at the extensive works of Messrs. Cubitt and Co., the eminent builders in Gray's-inn road, of which the Lord Mayor elect has long been at the head. It is composed of upwards of 100 young men, well educated and intelligent, belong ing to the class of skilled artisans employed by the firm, and who devote themselves to the acquire ment of the necessary military knowledge and apti tude with commendable interest and spirit. They form the 6th company of the 20th Middlesex, and wear a handsome distinctive uniform, costing be tween £4 and .£5, towards which each man volun trate, which Whitworth's flat-headed bolt shot is not likely to do. The steam ram is safe, therefore, from the artillery of the steam frigate, the only mode of offence or defence of the latter. The steam ram, particularly if she has the superiority in speed and quickness of movement, could knock away the masts or bowsprit of the steam frigate or disable her rudder by shot, so that, screw fouled by wreck, or the rudder useless, the steam frigate must give up or be sunk by the blow of the beak. It is unnecessary to prove that no lateral strength can possibly be given to the steam frigate which would enable her side to resist the tarily contributes a small sum from his weekly earnings. They have chosen for their captain Mr. Plucknett, one of the members of the firm ; Mr. W. R. Rogers, another member, is the lieutenant ; and on Mr. W. M. Dunnage, son of the senior partner, the duties of ensign devolve. They drill on three nights in the week, under the superintendence of a non-commissioned officer in the Line, in a commodious shed in connexion with the works, cheerfully lighted with gas, which has been expressly set apart and adapted for the purpose by the partners. The company is constantly receiving fresh accessions to its ranks from among the skilled workmen in the ser blow or concussion of a vessel constructed for the purpose, and running into her with the weight and impetus of 3,000 or 4,000 tons and speed of eight or ten knots, from instantly bursting in her side. I now answer some objections, apparently well founded, which have been made to me against using the principle of the steam ram. The steam ram cannot possibly foul her screw by the wreck of the vessel she .destroys. Her working screw must be the whole length of the vessel from the locality of the wreck or the vessel struck, and every stroke of the screw backing removes her fur ther from that locality. The foremost rudder and screw blades, in preparing for the attack, are placed and fixed fore and aft. I have the opinions of some of our ablest ship constructors that the stern piece can be made so strong as effectually to protect screw and rudder from all harm where the concussion takes place. It has been said also that if the steam ram were going at a high speed against a large vessel the force of the blow or concussion would throw the engine out of gear and render it useless. This opinion is abundantly refuted by innumerable facts. We hear unfortunately almost every day of steamers, some that have run down other vessels, upon rocks, and going at 11 or 12 knots against stone walls, as at Birkenhead, or into a stone pier, mounting up the stones on either side as if it had been an earthquake, as at New York, and in every case the engines have never been injured or inuti lised until either the bottom has been beaten in by the rocks or the fires have been extinguished by the water rushing in, but the engines have never, and even the stem of the vessel has but seldom, been much the worse for the shock, We must recollect that all these cases of collision or wreck have oc curred with merchant vessels of ordinary construc tion and strength, and as such, therefore, are far inferior in solidity and strength to what the war steamers would be expressly built and prepared for purposely effecting what has been so often unin tentionally done. The beak of the steam ram rush ing upon a large ship with the momentum of 3,000 or 4,000 tons, can never encounter a sudden check ; it is the gradual crushing blow—the side yielding to it, the vessel struck heels over, and is more or less driven before the blow. lam persuaded a man in the gunroom of the steam ram could hardly know that a collision had taken place. It is again said that the application of the principle of the steam ram has never been tried. I point out as my answer the cases of collisions I have alluded to. Every steam vessel that has destroyed another by running into that vessel is to all intents and purposes a steam ram. The steam frigate has only one apparent advan tage over the steam ram, and that will disappear on examination—namely, the line-of-battle ship's masts and sails enable her to make long voyages, but the steam ram has her five or six schooner masts, and, if required for a long voyage, topmasts, gafftop sails, stay sails, and square sails can be added, so that she will spread almost as many yards of canvass as the line-of-battle ship. To resist in vasion or protect seaports and harbours the steam ram is tenfold more serviceable than the steam frigate or. any other description of vessel or shore battery. In case of an invasion there must be a large num ber of vessels together heavily laden with men, artillery, and all the necessary accompaniments for the purpose. Two or three rapid and agile steam rams would soon g©t in among them, and a single touch from them would send the whole cargo to the bottom, while their guns were also reaching the more distant vessels. Three or four mad dogs among a flock of sheep could not kill and lacerate so great a number with more ease and safety to themselves than these steam rams would do amid such a convoy. Treble the number of similar vessels could be no protection to the convoy, unless they had a great superiority in speed and quickness of movement. Steam frigates could only depend on their chance shots, and they could be equally met by other ves sels of the same description. As protection for harbours the steam ram is un questionably the most effective, indeed infallible, for no description of vessel can escape from its blow. Amid all the incongruities so abundantly occurring during and since the Russian war in public matters, particularly in military and naval matters, none can more readily excite a smile than when the Govern ment wished to know from the sub committee on coast defences what would be the most effective mode of protecting Portsmouth harbour and arsenal from being bombarded by shot-proof vessels coming into Spithead and throwing shells and incendiary projectiles over the town. A plan and estimate was seriously sent in for forming a complicated work of Looms, chains, nets, and innumerable an chors to spread over so large a place as Spithead, at a cost of £500,000 ! like a net for catching tunny fish. The difficulty of keeping all this cumbrous complication in working order in winter and storm, and the impos sibility of spreading out the trap with suf f icient quickness to catch the interlopers, who necessarily would come on very suddenly, the enormous incon venience of embarrassing this important roadstead with all this mass of materials, seemed to have es caped the attention of the committee, as we'll as the simple remedy—viz., to oppose them by the same kind of vessels. As these would be constructed for harbour protection alone, they could be made more t ot important to powerful and handy than those of the enemy. Four iron-protected vessels are now in the pro cess of construction—two laid down by the late Admiralty Board, and two by the present. All four are fitted with the same powerful longitudinal strength and form of stem for sinking by concussion —the peculiar characteristic of the steam ram. In spite of the rem ons t rances of the most experi • enced and intelligent sea :11,ord under Sir J. Paking n and the ofnacilsbe nw;gspeuraiotlirat cutwater was subsequently added s , Warrior, y d a o_ a t e s d, n p da rendering9o-gu nship's sel ss masts,her most yards,o well as the heavy extra expense incurred in giving her that quality—the sinking by concussion. The mischief may still be remedied by taking off that cutwater excrescence, and adopting another mode of masts and sails, suited for a vessel built to sink by the blow when required. She will still be able to use all her actual artillery, spread almost as much canvass, and become tenfold inure formidable by going back to the original in tention, and this without the sacrifice of a single essential good quality. I think without the upper decks, and every outside projection but catheads re moved, she would he lighter and livelier in the water, and equally useful and safe. Mr. Whitworth alludes to smaller non-protected vessels to carry two or three guns of the heaviest cali bre, being able to send their shot through the iron casing of the large ship, and so ultimately to de stroy her. Mr. Whitworth must recollect that his flat-headed bolt shot will not frequently find a flat surface to strike upon; that a verylittle sea will cause the small vessel to be unsteady, consequently her aim uncertain; that to enable her to send her shot through the iron plate she must, be in very danger ous proximity to the large ship; that at such dis tances from the comparatively steady decks of the large vessel the little one forms an admirable tar get, which o icht r hey must he execrable gunners to mime that many sh o t s mus t s t r ik e the large vessel before any seri ous m i sc hi ef can b e d one to h er; that in cendiaryexploding projectiles are harmless a gainst her, but a single shell of molten iron, liquid I fire, k C ., would destroy the smaller vessel. vice of the firm ; masters and men are regularly to be seen drilling together without distinction in the evenings; and the immediate effect of the move ment has been in the generous cultivation of loyalty and patriotism, to bring into more conspicuous re lief than ever, in the minds of both employers and employed, a smite of their identity of interests and their mutual relationship and dependence. A good deal of activity continues to be displayed in Suffolk, in connexion with the movement. The Ist Suffolk battalion, consisting of the Sudbury, Hadleigh, Bury St. Edmund's, and Eye corps, are to be reviewed this week on Mellis green. The Mayor of Eye (Mr. C. F. Costerton) has offered a silver cup to be shot for by the members of the Eye company. The Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cam bridge has presented a silver cup to be shot for by the Cambridge University Volunteers. The match will take place on the 31st inst. The Earl of Yarborough, Lord-Lieutenant of Lincolnshire, intends to give one or more prizes to each of the three battalions of Volunteers in that county, to be shot for in the spring of next year. The Countess of Yarborough will also offer a cup to each battalion, to be shot for at the same time as the Lord Lieutenant's prizes. In Essex the services of the Waltham Abbey, Loughton, and Buckhurst-hill Company have been officially accepted, and the corps has been num bered the 22d in the county. The corps has at tained a total of 80 effectives, and £3OO has been subscribed to meet the necessary expenses. Sir Charles Wake has granted an admirable site for a rifle range at Forest-side, Waltham Abbey. The Witham Company have had their last field-day for the season at Terling-place, the seat of Lord Ray- leigh. On Monday a review of the Volunteers of North Staffordshire, and Macclesfield, and Congleton (Cheshire) took place at Leek. About 1000 riflemen, together with the Leek troop of Yeomanry Cavalry, took part in the proceedings. The Volunteers were divided into two battalions, the First (Cheshire) under the command of Sir Charles Sbakerley, Captain of the Congleton Volunteer Corps; the second (North Staffordshire), commanded by Capt. Buchanan, Adjutant to the Battalion. Lieut.-Col. Buller held the chief command, assisted by Major Walters (Liverpool Volunteer Artillery Corps), Lieut. Campbell, and Captains Midgley and Adams (Staffordshire Yeomanry Cavalry). The movements were those of brigade, this being the first time the Staffordshire Volunteers ever took part in brigade drill. The movements were effected with very great precision and efficiency, especially the skirmishing by the Cheshire battalion. At the close of the review Lieut.-Colonel Buller said he had been astonished, and so had Major Walters, a gentleman ♦ery well qualified to judge, at the way in which they had gone through their movements. The ground was covered with spectators, and, the weather being fine, the review passed off very successfully. Mr. C. S. Hannington (of the firm of S. Hanning ton and Sons, Brighton), with a view to assist the Volunteer movement, a short time since proposed to the authorities to raise an entire company of 80 men from among the assistants in his employ, to augment the present artillery corps in Brighton, which offer they have been pleased to accept. The ceremony of swearing them in accordingly took place on Friday evening last. The company " fell in" at the establishment in North-street, and marched to the Town-hall, escorted by the band of the Artillery Corps, headed by a detachment of the Ist company. On arriving at the Town•hall they were received by the Ist, 2d, and 3d companies of artillery, drawn up in two lines, under the command of Lieut.-Col. Estridge. There were present Capt. Dalbiac (Commandant), Capt. Johnson, Adjutant Paisley, Lieutenants Sharood, Livesay, Bram well, Surgeon Burrows, &c. The oath was then duly administered by Capt. Dalbiac. FATAL ACCIDENT ON TBE LONDON AND SOUTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. Yesterday Mr. Wm. Carter, the coroner for the eastern division of Surrey, held an inquest at the house of Mr. T. Bryon, the New Bell, York-street, Lambeth, respecting the circumstances attending the death of Thomas Ridley, aged 27, who lost his life on the London and South-Western Railway, under the following circumstances : Mr. Inspector Bent attended to watch the case on behalf of the direetozs of the railway company. Thomas Violet said that he was a ticket examiner in the employment of the above company. Last Sunday afternoon witness was on the platform of the up and down lines. At 4.20, after letting pas sengers into the train, he saw the deceased run be tween two carriages, one of which was not coupled, as it was intended that the last one should not go by the train, and the deceased only intended to let the train pull it up a short distance along the line, in order to get it to one of the turn tables. He noticed him uncouple the carriage, and as he did so he fell between the two carriages, and the axle of the wheel of the last one caught him and twisted him round, and the carriage passed over him. He was picked up, taken into one of the booking offices, and he saw no more of him whilst alive. He thought he was then dying. He was behind him when he fell. When• carriages were to be uncoupled it was usual for a man to get between them to do so. James Smale, a porter in the company's service, gave corroborative evidence. The Coroner—How do you account for this oc currence? _ _ _ Witness—l believe his object was to hook the carriage on to the tail of the train, to save him the labour of pushing it up to the turn table, which was 40 yards distant. It would require only a start before the carriage could be pulled up. The Coroner—Was it a necessary part of his duty? Witness—Certainly not, and there were orders issued that such should not be done, but it is a com mon practice to do so if they are not noticed by their inspectors. The Coroner—Now, was it not manifestly dan gerous to disobey the instructions issued by the company ? Witness—Decidedly it was. Mr. Inspector Bent said that the orders were very stringent in order to protect the lives of their servants, and he had known men to be heavily fined for so doing. Mr. E. Dod, surgeon, who was called in to at tend the deceased, said he believed that he had received an internal rupture of the viscera of the abdomen. He expired in about an hour and a half after meeting with the accident. The learned Coroner having pointed out the great danger of persons employed on railways if they did not act up to the orders issued by the companies, The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death."

The title, thenfore, will be complete. Theoretically, unanimous election is, without doubt, the best title by wlich any King can hold a sceptre. The longest hereditary succes sion is but the original title of the first possessor ' transmitted through his descendants. Choice or force, election or conquest, are at there& of all our Royal trees ; and, of the two, electi►n is surely to be esteemed more valid than conquest. It was the title pointed out by God himself; it vas the title of the chiefs of our German ancestors ; it is the title of our own Royal House ; and it is tie title of. the Emperor who has watched over and nurtured this rising electoral kingdom. It may be suggested that to make such a ceremony as election by universal suffrage strictly valid there should be a vacancy, as there was in the days of Saul, and also in those of James 11., and also in those of Napoleon 111. But perfect unanimity in the electors umost presumes a vacancy, especially if there be moral reasons to justify their casting off their old allegiance. The Neapolitans have quite as good a case against their Francis 11. as we had against our James 11. He has certainly broken the original compact between Prince and people, and, if he has not deserted the kingdom, he has certainly abdicated the functions of government. The title Victor Emmanuel has now obtained is therefore perfectly good according to all the principles of public law, if he can only reduce it into possession. This is how the transaction appears in our con stitutional eyes. We class it with a hundred pre cedents of tyrants expelled and lawful Princes created by election to succeed them. But Victor Emmanuel cannot expect that the same view of this case is taken at Warsaw. " What God is in Heaven the Czar is on earth" i s the ortho- dox creed taught to the Russian peasant; and the pleasant doctrine is doubtless complacently re peated by Royal lips Teutonic as well as Tartar. What is a cause of joy and congratulation in Lon don and Paris will be vexation at Warsaw, and will lengthen official faces at St. Petersburg, Vienna, and Berlin. Russia is a long way off, and very much occupied, and not quite certain of having her own way outside her own frontiers, or she would con sistently put down at once any unpleasant novelty in that chain of precedents which tends to dis courage the right divine of Monarchs to govern wrong. Prussia, with all her semblance of Consti tutional freedom, would crush it as ruthlessly as she would the attempt of any newspaper to publish truth, or the pretence of any unhappy traveller upon the Rhine to protest against the pettifogging ruffianism which has succeeded to the more gentle manlike brigandage of the former possessors of those banks. But Prussia is afraid lest the French should come as missionaries of civilisation to those parts if she should do any unassisted act towards her secret desires. Austria—but we know what Aus tria would do if she dare. These three potentates have got together to warm each other's zeal, to nurse the common wrath and keep it warm, but not to do anything. It is at present only a con venticle of despotism where any sinner may go and be converted. Lord John Russell seems to be in a happy frame of mind, and Prussia has great hopes of him; but we have not heard of any other converts. It does not for the present pretend to the authority of a settled Church, and it has been explained by the Emperor of Russia to the Em peror of the French that there is no intention of excommunicating the latter from the communion of crowned heads. Still, however, it is a black look from the north cast upon freedom, and especially upon Italy. It is only at the present a " biting of the thumb" at Victor Emmanuel and his new title. If Russia has been politely prompt in her reassur ances to France, Austria has been no less expres sive in her declarations that she means nothing serious. After a somewhat eventful interval France and Austria have, in fact, reverted to their original position. It is not difficult for the youngest reader to recollect the time when Austria was declaring to France that she had not the least intention to strike the first blow against Sardinia, but that Sar dinia was acting so offensively that really, &c., &c. And then, it will also be recollected, Austria in a moment of excitement crossed the Ticino and France came down upon her, and all that is.now going on succeeded in natural sequence. But, as the Eastern proverb says, "An ostrich will always be an ostrich," and so we say, " Austria will be Austria still." Austria is at this moment making the same preparations and also the same declaratiors. She is declaring she will respect the new English and French borh heresy of non-intervention, which causes to Pio Nono such paroxysms of disgust, and she is massing her troops upon the Po, building a steam fleet on the Guarda Lake, and making Verona impregnable. Meanwhile Victor Emmanuel is raising his insolent head as King of Italy and Garibaldi is talking to his comrades in prophetic strain of future campaigns in Venetia and in Hungary. Will those plethoric citadels and their overcrammed hosts of armed men, and will those well drilled squadrons whose horses drink the waters of the Po, look on quietly while Garibaldi or while Turr marshals his array upon the frontier ? It looks very like the old position. Some day or other the young Emperor will again lose his patience, the portals of the Quadrilateral will open, and Austria will be unable to resist the temptation to swallow her easy and insolent prey. What will then happen ? M. Grandguillot tells the sequel plainly enough when he declares on the part of the Emperor that that important person age is fully convinced that " a purely defensive attitude is the line of conduct which Austria has adopted, and from which she does not intend to depart." If Austria moves she is lost. Whether if she remains still she is saved we do not dare to say. Napoleon may or may not have determined to break her up at any rate, and he may or may not have secret sympathies with strange things about Hungary which have fallen from Garibaldi and are freely discussed on the heights of St. An gelo; but, unless M. Grandguillot has lost his in spiration, it is clear that an attack upon Sardinia, openly threatening as is her attitude, and repulsive as is this her new presumption to give a King to Italy, it would bring on a campaign in the Penin sula, wherein Austria without a fleet would be like a dog fighting an otter in the water. This article in the Constitutionnel is probably Napoleon's quiet reply to the divine right demon stration at Warsaw. Just at this moment Napo leon is by no means in a humour to allow Austria to go down South and settle matters according to her fancy in the South of Italy. He may love Ga ribaldi much or little, but he certainly loves the three great Powers and the little Milky Way of fragmentary Sovereigns who are met at Warsaw less. They may write as lovingly as they please, but he knows very well that if there had been no Napoleon 111. there would have been no meeting at Warsaw, and that they are not met to consult as to his well-being and future happiness he is obstinately persuaded. Therefore, he answers by a defense to Austria to go out of her own fortifications, and by a gentle intimation that she has broken the peace of Zurich by her conduct towards Venetia, which had been specially stipulated in that document. There is a peculiar significance in this last hint, as we shall probably see when Garibaldi makes his de scent upon the coast of Venetia. This seems to be the position, It may not long endure. Now, then, is the opportunity of Victor Emmanuel, If he does not seize the opportunity to drive the King of Naples into the sea, or, more humanely, into a sea-going boat, he is not the man for his time. A few words, a high bid, a new phase of policy, may change all. This crown of Italy is worth an energetic clutch, now that, after such doubtful play for it, it is within reach.—Times.
