This, however, sounds very well in theory ; in prac tice it would, we think, be found: that in such a condition the Warrior would be an unmanageable wreck,, and brought so low in the water by the filling of her fore and aft com partments (each nearly 100 feet long) that her portal's would be brought almost to the water's edge, when further fighting would become impossible. This, however, .would not be her only danger. If . the bows were so riddled with shot-holes as to fill the compartments with water, the Warder would come down so muc h b y th e head as to com pletely lift her screw out of the sea, i n w hi c h cas e there . would soon be an en d of the ship with anot h er i r o n antago nist that retained he r power of steaming. Indeed, it is not improbable that in such a ease she might sin k so muc h by the head as to elevate the a f termost armour -plates, w hi c h pnly extend five feet below th e water line, quite out of the water, or at least sufficiently near it s surface , to e na bl e h er bottom to be pierced where their protecti on cease d . T he b ows --asthe spot where the whole force of th e s h oc k must b e received in case the of enemy's h ° arrior ships—are bein strengthe ne d i ns ide ever used as a ram t o crush down ,with a perfect web of ironwork. . Here no less th an e i ght t wrought-iron decks stretch back from this part - t o the armour-plates, as well as supports and diagonal bracing% innumerable. Throughout the entire length of the-armour coated portion of the vessel run-two longitudinal bulkheads, between the sides and internal portions of the vessel. These aro termed " wings," and serve as passages of communica tion.. Inside the wings are placed the coals, while the chief magazines are further secured again by having the water tanks inside these coalbunki. where, are manifest proofs of this. Not to grow weary in this path, but to make redoubled efforts to advance, con stitutes a duty so clear and beneficial that I need 'scarcely call your attention to it. _ " Pekin, Nov. 1, 1860, " My dear Sir,—As you took an interest in my mission to China, you may be pleased to hear from me that I am actually at Pekin, and that peace is concluded between Great Britain and this cotintry: China is now opened up to Christianity and com merce, and if foreigners, both authorities and private individu a ls, conduct themselves towards the people of the country with consideration and fairn ess , I hope that all t h e a d vantages ga i ne d by the British Treaty of 18;8, and supplemented by the Briti s h C onvention of 1860, will be retained, whatever dynastic chanres take lace in the empire.

" Our own expeiience, aided by the experience of foreign countries, has convinced us, as well as the greater part of Europe, that the administration of justice ought to be separated from the general atheinistration, and that justice, in its two branches, criminal and civil, cannot proceed with • the rapidity corresponding to the other institutions of our social state, without being placed under the control of pub licity and being conducted orally. Whilst in all other things, in industry and commerce, the movement has become morerapid, it is not possible that justice alone should advance at the slow pace whch was no doubt adapted to the character Of past times, but is not suited to' the present.

TIM Russian. 'Government are preparing' their plans and schemes, of prices . for the construction by contract of sir frigates, sister vessels to the Warribr in every pa•rtieelar, save in sudhi, improved details as giving the aides a much greater • angle, which the experience gained during the last few months by the 'trial of Mr; Jones's plan shows ,irt future' be adopted with all iron ships intended to he yealleeinvalnerable.. According, therefore, to present appearances, England is likely tribe left behind •in the race by Rllmsie k end to be distanced by - •• It is not our purpose now to discuss the comparative merits of the plans on • which the English ,and French vessels are respectively built. Were it 'so, wo think it might not be Ciffienit to show that the superiority in . this matter is as yet so great on our side as to Make one ves sel like the Warder slimmest nmatch for two like La Gloire. It will bo time enongh to turn to such matters when:we see the Warrior fairly off the stocks and at her moorings in the river: It will be sufficient in this notice to give an outline of her enormous strength and huge'dimensions, and explain the methods by which the Admiralty have overcome the difficultiee 'that . existed -in constructing a really shot-proof frigate.; At the first .outseti the 'idea of any iron-cased vessels, whether for steam 'rams or frigates, found no favour with the Adnairalty,eind it was not till the.result of French' experiments as to the resistance which they offered to shot became known in : England, with the additional fact that our ally had already begun to construct several such ships, that the. Admiralty at last began to bestir themselves, though up to the present hour iron-cased ships are looked upon with a lenient rather than a favourable eye, Since that time, however, efficial opinions would appear 'to have under-' 'gone considerable modification, and the Admiralty have been compelled to accept much they formerlycondemned, and, on the* other hand; to condemn a good deal of work on which they formerly insisted. In the first design sent in to the Admiralty by the Thames Shipbuilding Company the shape proposed' for the bows of the Warrior was exactly after the outline Of a swan's neck arid breast when swim ' ming, and thus •the point or beak intended to- strike .an enemy's vessel was the , " breast," which was Placed under the water-line in 'the ship'S bows. In the Admiralty model, and of course that on which the Warrior has been built, the outline of the Vows seen from the broadside forms a kind of obtuse angle, the point or " nose," as it lis called, just level with theewater. This peculiar shape, however, ,has been concealed under, a long false cut water and a magnificent figure-head - of _a colossal warrior, . so that, looking at her as she is now on the stocks, there is no difference, except in her extremely fine lines forward and goat size, between her appearance and that of any ordinary fine frigate. . Soelong an interval has elapsed since we last noticed the plan on which this gigantic vessel was to be built that a brief recapitulation of her chief dimensions, together with the general principles of her construction, will net bawith . out interest for our readers on thisoccesion. Her dimen slons, then, aro :—Extreme length over all, 420 ft. ; ditto, breadth; 58ft. ; depth from spar' deck to keel, Mt. 6in. Her tonnage_ is no lesi than 6,177 tons, builders' measure ment. The engines have just been completed by Messrs, Penn and Sons. They are of 1,250 nominal horse-power, and are probably the most magnificent specimens of machi nery that ever' left 'even . Mr. Penn's celebrated works. These extraordinary machines, however, deserve a separate and detailed notice of themeel acs, and on a future occasion we shall be able to give a full' description of them to our readers. Their total weight, 'with boilers, will be 950 tons, and for these the 'Warrior is only able to stow 950 tons of coal, or. little more than enough for six days' steaming. The armament, reckoning ber es a 50-gun frigate, with masts and stores complete, will, weigh from 1,200 to 1,500 tons, which will give her, with hull and armour, a total weight, when ready for sea, ' of about 9,000 tons, or about the weight of the hull of the Great Easierriwhen launched. With the fine lines,' great length, and immense horse- . power of the Warrior, a speed of IN less than 14 knots is counted upon as certain. OnnroW of the armour-plates with which the greater part of the broadside will hereafter be covered is already in its place, covering a space of 51t. deep by 21$ft. long en each side. Only the lowest row has been thus bolted, and more than this it would be unwise, to place, as the. immense weight might strain the ship during the launch: The others will be bolted in her piece by piece while in. the Victoria Dock. That all the crew under' cover of these armour plates Will enjoy the most perfect immunity from the heaviest shot and' shell in the 'world will be easily under steed when we point out the tremendous strength with which the ship is constructed 'and fastened together in every part. There is 110 external keel to the ihip, but an inner kind of girder, which eats as a- keelson. This is formed of im mense slabs of wrought scrap iron Lein. thick, and 3ft. bin. deep. To it are bolted the ribs—Massive wrought iron T. shaped beams an inch thick and made in joints five feet long by two deep up to five feet below the water line, where their depth is diminished so as el) form a deep ledge or angle, on which the armour-plates and their teak lining rest: These immense ribs, except „where the portholes in tervene, are actually only 22 inches apart. Above the keel son, and inside the ribs, are five immensely strong box girders, which go the whole length of the ship from stem to stern, and from which spring‘diagonal bands, tying every rib together. The orlop deck is of wood, and 24ft. above the keel; the main deck is of iron, and cased with wood, and 9ft. above the orlop ; the upper deck is also of . wrought iron, cased with wood, and 7ft, 9in. above the main. All these decks are carried en wrought iron beams of the moat powerful description, to which both decks and ribs and all are bolted as in ono pie Ce. The " skin" of the skip, as it is termed, which severe all these ribs, on the outside, is also of wrought iron, lein. thick under the , bot tom, to nearly lin. thick up to the spar deck. From sft. below the water line up to the upper deck comes, in addi tion to this, the great armour of teak and iron over all. This is formed of e. double casing of the hardest. teak, 20ins. thick, with theheams laid at right angles to one and other. Over these again come the plates of iron, so as in all to ease the broadsido of the vessel with 20 inches of solid teak and five inches of the very finest wrought iron. Each armour-plate is formed of scrap iron carefully welded into a slab about 16ft. long by 4 broad, and 41 inches thick, and weighing about 12 tons. All the 'plates are dovetailed at the edges into ono another, and bolted through the teak and iron into the inner ribs of the ship. These bolts are coun ter-sunk outside, so es eo have their heads level with the surface of the plate. The total weight of the plates on both sides is 1,000 tons. The plate arntour pf La Gloire is re ported to be formed of a peculiar kind of soft homogeneous iron, admirably adapted for resisting shot. From the speci mens of it which have been obtained in this country and examined by our best mechanics, it is, on the whole, not considered to be a baler kind of -metal than a thick soft wrought-iron slab, such as covers the sides of the Warrior. The result of gunnery experiments with no less than forty different kinds of plates shown that the best aro those formed of scrap iron with a certain proportion of puddled bar iron, which makes a mixture of almost unyielding toughness. Some of them were tested at Portsinouth with 68-pounders at point-blank range. In all cases the shot failed to pene trate the iron, though they dented it to a depth of one and a half, and in some cases almost two inches. Not until after the sixth, or even eighth and' tenth shots, all striking about the same place, were the plates ever broken and their fibre torn apart. With such a backing up of teak as is in the sides of the 'Warrior, not all the Whitworth or Arm strong guns yet made could send a shot fairly through into the main deck, This tremendous coat of armour, however, does not case the whole vessel, as with such an entire cover ing the Warrior would scarcely float at all. Only the middle of the 'broadside, for a length of 213 feet, and going down five feet under the water-line, is thus protected. This seems a serious fault in the plan on which the Mini• ralty have built the void. To endeavour to compensate for the absence of thiti armour, befit the stem and stern are crossed and re-crossed in every direction with water. tight compartments, and the outer iron plates are 1.1 inch thick and backed up by 24 inches of teak. It is, of course, needless to say that the whole veeeel is subdivided in at lea.st 20 places by water-tight bulkheads of the most solid description. Those which cut off.the stem and stern from the s s' armour-coa.ted portions in the centre are faced with armour-plates to five feet below the water line, and lined with iron ribs and 20 inches of teak, exactly like the broad side of the vessel. Titus it is contended that, supposing it possible for the stem : and stern to be so riddled as to be almost shot away, the'centre fighting portion of the vessel, .containing 26 of the heaviest guns, would still remain as complete and impenetrable as ever—still opposing 20 inches of teak, with nearly Ave inches of nought iron, to every, — Probably the largest forgings that have ever been attempted (not even excepting those for the Great Eastern) were required for the building of the Warrior. Tho " nose" or beak of the ship is one immense t4ab of iron 30 feet long, by no less than 1b inches thick, and it - Jilia'rie — iily 4 2o:tons. The heel •post, in which the outer bearing of the screw rests, is one piece of the finest forged iron, without the slightest flaw of any kind, and weighing upwards of 41 toils.. There ere =dry few yards in the world, public or private, at which such forgings: could be turned ,out, and Certainly nonexhieh c,)uld produce a. greater pe; fection of workmanship than is evidenced in the perfect finish with which all the huge masses are joined together in the frame of the Warrior the, armament of thiS Magnificent man-of-war is not yet entirely decided upon, but there is little doubt that it will consist of 36 GS4ounder 95 cwt. guns on the Main deek, 10 Armstrong 70-pounderi on the spar deck, and two pivot Armstrong 100-pounders, one forward and one aft, making 48 in, all. With only 10 broadside guns on an upper deck of 400 feet, there ii, of course, a space of nearly 80 feet between each gun. Therekre, without in the least expos ing the men or crowding the " quarters" the upper-deck armament can be doubled at any time. On her trial no more guns than those we have mentioned will be placed ; but if the result of her first cruise is such as to show she can carry them easily, the number of broadside upper-deck 70-pounders will be increased from 10 to of course, breeeh-lc;aders. The masts and spars of the Warrior will be very light -merely those of an ordinary frigate, with.the admirable exception that the cross-jack or mizen-yard will be done away with, and the vessel rigged.as a barque. Such are the general outlines of the superb vessel which will this day, we trust, be safely afloat on the Thames. Once at her moorings in the VictorikDock, the work of putting on the remainder of the plates will go rapidly for • ward, and at the same time Messrs: Penn will-proceed with - fitting in the machinery. She is expected:to be ready by the end of April to go round, to Portsmouth under steam to be rigged. Before rigging she will be tested at the measured mile, and when complete for sea make her first trial cruise across the Bay of Biscay about the middle of July next. MINISTERIAL POLICY OF AUSTRIA. The following is the text of the circular of the Chevalier de SchMerling, the new Minister of State at Vienna, addressed to the various Governors, a short summary of which had been already received by telegram : " Being named Minister of State by the Emperor, our master, I the more strongly feel the necessity, at the mo ment when I assume this important post, to give a clear and open expression to the ideas which must direct me, that the situation is more serious, and the responsibility with which lam charged the more considerable. My mission is also yours; let us endeavour to execute it clearly in all directions. It is no other than to realise immediately, each within the limit of his competency, the resolutions and in tentions of his Majesty, as expressed in - the diploma and the manifesto recently published. His Majesty confides to the matured intelligence of his people the prosperous de velopment and consolidation of the institutions which con tain in themselves the guarantee of a free movement. " In consequence of that resolution, Austria has entered with all her integral parts, equally, and in the same man ner, into the rank of those European States, which have found in participation, reposing on the oldest historical foundations, and regulated by the public right of all the people, the means of elevating herself to that high power which constitutes the fundamental condition of material prosperity and intellectual impulse, the inviolability of the law and of international consideration, as well as of the patriotic pride which not only excites the brave sons of the country to acts of courageous, heroism, but also givei creased strength to the occupations of peace. " In entering with resolution and confidence on the path which his Majesty has traced out to me, I, in the first place, cast my eyes on the matter which more particularly distinguishes the constitutional State—the objects relative to the personal liberty of its citizens, in order that for the future every individual may enjoy, as far as concerns reli gion and conscience, and his spiritual and material inte rests, that independence which is compatible with well regulated order according fo the experience of free States, and which is particularly indispensable to our country, in which not only various nationalities, but also different reli gious creeds, should form a band indissolubly united. " The Imperial manifesto says :---‘ The free exercise of religion must form one of the first fundamental bases of the State ; but it Le necessary that in this respect the Su premo will be executed without reserve to the full extent of its humane intentions. Ihe free exercise of religion con stantly brings with it its natural consequences in matters concerning civil and political rights.' " Hence it is the express will and pleasure of his Ma jesty that civil and political rights also be secure from all injury in the spirit of regular liberty, and that the recipro cal relations of the various religious confessions (creeds) be regulated on a footing of equity and real Christian love, in harmony with the pacific relations which, in point of fact, do exist between them. _ _ " Knowledge is power. I consider that one of the highest tasks which the Government has to execute is to favour, by all means in its power, the noble tendency of all nationalities to raise themselves by their own efforts to a superior degree of intellectual development. If we ought to leave to each nationality the task of producing itself the intellectual capital which must fructify in circles more and more extensive, or to borrow . it from the wealth of a language more adyanced in the path of deverOpment, the Government nevertheless will not omit anything which can aid in that development, and will manifest solicitude calculated to produce good effects for all ; but always, and in all things, it will'fix its eyes on the highest objects of knowledge. "I consider it necessary to remark expressly that nothing is further from the thoughts of the Government than the desire to neutralise a national element, whatever it may be, for it is convinced that all citizens would be more devoted to the country if they were to see their nationality not only assured but favoured, and that the shield with which the Government covers them is large enough to protect all alike. "As regards the Press, which must be considered one of the most powerful instruments for the propagation of knowledge, and of the sentiments which form the bases of sound instruction, the arrangement made is that all preventive intervention shall cease. It is only justice to acknowledge that, in many difficult circumstances, the Press has zealously and ably defended the cause of the country ; during the war last year especially, it happily combined a patriotic attitude with prudence. This experi ence is of a nature to inspire confidence, and the confidence which the Government has resolved to place in the Press will contribute, I hope, to maintain it inthat path of mo deration, of unimpassioned, cool, and rational judgment, of propriety, and also to fill it with that noble pride to which its mission of enlightening millions gives it the right to aspire. The consciousness of independence will, at the same time, imbue it with the sentiment that it alone is respon sible, and to a greater degree than ever, both for the sub stance an'l the form, and this sentiment will preserve it from all excesses. • " No one can deny that the prosperity of material interests has its root in the spontaneous activity of individuals. ticcordingly, it is one of the essential tasks of the indepen • dent commune, of the provincial corps, = and of free associations, and industrial corporations, founded in all the provinces, to turn to advantageous account the rich mines of production and of gain. But the Government is not less in a position to exercise influence in the develop ment of agriculture, of forests, minus, manufactures ; and commerce, in a word, of all sources of prosperity, and to contribute thereto either by public instruction, the inex • haustible source of all improvements, or the completion of lines of communication, or by encouragement and the indication of examples, calculated to excite emulation. The Imperial authorities have at all times displayed great activity in this way, and have even obtained by degrees important results, or at least have contributed thereto— our towns and country diatrieta, the vigorous race of our peasants, who have not their like in Europe, the ability of our manufacturers, and the animation which reigns every. may place himself, as far - a s ;eg;rds personal and civil publicationby hisby utsMajesty liberty, by the side of those nat i ons w h ose l o ng experience has acquired for them the glory of serv i ng a s models to all - others: - Although as hope this uocumeni:Nagt Aeby a v time tinstituted e will; 1,8 realiNo g irl these provinces, I neversheless consider it Acessark _ jara kt, known to you at present the essential point r:-‘!(• aied to c haracterise the spirit whicb will animate ti) , ,Jc just] LW Trlk and with which your actions ought not to be in contradiel ■ s teilt7 short t i ns tion, even during the interval, if we would not cause con : - fusion in public opinion instead of enlightening it. "I have no need to dwell on the communes and on the independent lite into which they are to enter. They have shown in a general way that they are capable and worthy of administering their own affairs. The force of will and of intelligence will develop itself every day more in pro- Portion as those qualities are exercised. Bit it will be the duty of the authorities—and I render you directly respon sible for it—to see that nothing unbecoming is ever re quired from the commune, and that in particular the least possible written correspondence shall be exacted from them. On the otherland, where protection and , guidance are necessary, they shall be extended to them with that loyalty and consideration which the repiesentatives of the State, which protects all, ought in particular to accord to communal corporations. . " In now passing to the provincial statutes, I must in the first place call your attention to the' fact, that his Majesty has deigned to authorise me to admit among the; fundamental principles of them, so far as regards their composition, the principle of the representation of interests on the basis of immediate elections, and of an extended right of election and of eligibility; as regards the attribu.? tions of the provincial . diets, the right of initiative, and lastly, as regards the form of deliberations, their publicity --principles which evidently respond the more visibly to the spirit of the diploma of the 20th October, which has restored the kingdoms of the Crown of Hungary, the re presentation of the country in the sense of the old consti tutions, as it was not possible to do otherwise ; in the first place because those principles alone allow of the establish ment of the conformity and the harmony of political prin ciples between Hungary and the other countries ; and next, because, independently of that, these principles are better suited than others which have been mentioned to give satis faction to the political wants of the times. It is like wise in the spirit of the diploma, and particularly of :Art. 3, which contains a clause in favour of all the countries, without excepting those belonging to the Crown of Hungary, that is founded this principle, that their Diets will not have to attend to any but their own internal provincial affairs, and that, on the contrary, their common legislative interests shall apper tain, in the sense of thereserve expressed in the said article, to the common representation of the Empire. " Moreover, that the Council of the Empire, forme& in the sense of Art. 2, requires similar qualities to those indi cated in the principles of the provincial statutes, and capa ble of increasing the importance of that body, is a natural and inevitable consequenoo of what precedes. It must, therefore, not only be allowed the initiative and publicity of its deliberations, but it will also be necessary for it to be appointed, leaving aside the proposition of the provincial States, by the direct election of those States, and for it to obtain, by the number of its members, the consideration and moral weight necessary for the high functions assigned to it. " A long distance will have been travelled in the path of political progress when the things which at this moment I recommend to your attention shall have been carried into effect—shall have become part of the people's habits. In requesting you to impress strongly on your minds, the spit it in which the intentions of his Majesty require to be under stood and executed, in order that the firm confidence and the voluntary co-operation of all right -thinking men, and particularly of all political co -operators may be obtained, I cannot abstain from calling your patriotic attention to this fact, that all the States, whatever they be, in which are united the essential points which form the elements of true liberty, are those which by the side of the regulated parti cipation of the people in political action, have known how to preserve the unity necessary to power, without which each part runs the risk of bscorains; the plaything of foreign caprice. "The (lecided and sincere execution of these principles will convince the inhabitants of the Hungarian kingdom, as well as all the others, that the Government is not less seriously resolved on realising the political institutions promised to the other countries, and that, consequently, there will be no further ground to fear, with the mistrust, formerly entertained (I do not say whether rightly or wrongly) that the Government only seeks to repress in one• half of the Empire what it allows in the other; people will be convinced that what has been solemnly granted will be faithfully executed in all the countries, and bo equally valid everywhere. The conformity of political institutions to which this measure tends is a point of great importance, because it restores the peace which all patriots desire, and also presents the fundamental condition of the restored economic equilibrium. " Finally, as regards the modifications in the political administration, I am particularly happy to be able to make known to you that it is the express will of his Majesty that none of the functionaries shall be the victims of the changes which must be made in virtue of higher considerations, and independently of their faithful and useful services. Each, therefore, knowing his fate to be secured by reason of the sentiment of justice of his Majesty, the putting into force of the new political organisation cannot give uneasiness to any ono, although the number of functionaries must be consequently diminished. "On the other hand, it is beyond all doubt that the Go• vernments of the small countries of the Crown, which have been lately suppressed, ought to be re. established, although in more restricted limits, resulting front the administrative action of the provincial Diets. But whatever may be the manner in which the new organisation affects the position of individuals, each person employed ought to be convinced that I will not neglect anything to protect the faithful ser vants of the State from the danger of being deceived in their confidence. "But I strongly recommend to all functionaries to sub stitute, in accomplishing their duty, as far as possible, direct action to written orders, to awaken the spontaneous force of the inhabitants of your province, to direct and to enlighten them, and to promote confidence by favouring the interests which it is the first duty of each functionary to know well; but, at the same time, to protect the cause of order, and to display towards the elements of trouble and disorder the severity necessary to maintain completely the authority of the Government. You may in that count on my energetic support. Those men who make an abusive use of liberty in order to turn it aside to false paths, or to give it dangerous exaggerations, are the enemies of liberty and of the country. "To adhere firmly to legality is more necessary than elsewhere in a State where an important and even a deci sive transformation is in progress. To conform with in telligence to all that is just in public opinion, is the proof of capacity in a statesman, and' will always be ap p reciatedt by me. Frankness in stating eircumstancesand itue si s ; is the first condition of a manly character, and su ch terms that reciprocal confidence can be son established lyon between superiors and subordinates.
