THE S tT.N .

LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 3, 1862.

The more explicit the information becomes re-
specting the naval battle at Hampton Roads, the
stronger must be the general conviction that the
day of wooden' vessels is over, and perhaps that
of harbour fortk, also. Should land artillery be
increased in pourer till a gun may be almost an
artificial volcano, capable of smashing, by one
discharge, the side of the strongest iron vessel,
and should the entrance of the harbour be such
as to make that one discharge certain to take
effect, then, indeed, it may still be 'worth while
to rely, partially, on fixed fortifications. Under
any other conditions it is evident that
forts will be useless. No iron vessel
steaming past them would allow of more
than one discharge from a monster gun ; and no
other would be of the slightest use. The Merrimac,
or Virginia, as the Confederates call her, and the
Monitor, have conclusively settled that question.
The Spithead forts .would be useless till artillery is
invented which can smash the plates of an iron ship
at a discharge, and that is not the case yet. It is
certain, on the other hand, that one iron ship can
succeessfully meet another; hence the question
which will be discussed to-morrow ought to have
but one answer. The money which no one now
thinks can be spent with any certainty, to say the
least, with advantage on forts, may be spent with all

reasonable certainty of efficient application on cut-

ting down and plating our big ships ; and, we
should add, arming a number of them with Captain
COWPER COLES' cupolas.

'lhrough the courtesy of the Lotsdon American
we are enabled to give our readers to-day a clearer
idea than they would otherwise have of the general
character of the new invention. Captain COLES'
cupola differs in some details from the turrets of
the Monitor, but the principle is the same. A cir-
cular, moving, shot and bomb-proof tower, turned
about horizontally from below, and carrying two of
the most powerful guns known to modern warfare.
The two guns in the Monitor are DAHLGREN'S,
carrying shot of 1841 b. each; and as the two balls
are to strike simultaneously and close together,
their force of impact is equal to that of six sixty-
pounders, hitting at once a single spot. Perhaps
forts on land may be able, by carrying this prin-
ciple out to the uttermost, to throw the proposed
1,000 lbs., if not in a single ball, yet on a single
spot simultaneously, and with nearly equal results.
An inspection of the drawings and descriptions
furnished us by our contemporary will, however,
leave no reasonable doubt in any mind that the
Americans have practically solved the great pro-
blem of iron ships. Theposition of the whole sub-
ject is as different now from what it was before this
battle, as one of chemical success in the scientific
man's laboratory, from the profitable carrying out
ockis experiments in a large commercial manufac-
tory.

It must not be overlooked that ships built even
on the model of the Monitor, for river work, can
yet, if need be, keep the sea. The account of her
coming round from New York to' the Chesapeake,
speaks well in favour of the capacity of heavy iron
-vessels to face heavy seas. She is but a 1,200 ton
'hip. She is built with 0, fimt bottom—her deck,
which has no kind of bulwark or protection, is but
two feet out of the water—her turret rises but
nine feet above the deck, her smoke stacks not so
much—and Yet such a vessel' " did not mind the
gale at all."

True the waves which poured

little mechanical ingenuity i ; but a very
remedy this; and

the fact remains that in what Lieut. JEFFERS
describes as a severe gale, this flat-bottomed small
ship of war, a river boat only, -held her own
with ease against wind and weather. She seems,
indeed, to be as easy at sea, through her weight
and form, as it was hoped the Great Eastern
would be through her size, The Lieutenant men-
tions that "though anchored at the end of Hamp-
ton Bar, where the sea was quite rough, not the
slightest motion of the waves could be felt."
After this, and after the behaviour of La Gloire
and the Warrior, built in the orthodox fashion for,
encountering the winds and the waves, it cannot
be doubted that heavy iron- ships will easily be
' adopted to all sea-going purposes. The compara-
tively small amount of fuel they can carry, the
advantage of partially retaining, or of wholly
dispensing with sails, and other similar questions
will soon adjust themselves; but the one great
fact which requires immediate attention is, that
no port belonging to us, not even Gibraltar or
Malta, is safe till it has a Monitor or two to
protect it. One thing is proved, whatever yet
remains to be proved. The Emperor of the
FRENCH could, in three months, at an expense of only
sixty thousand pounds, create a vessel which could
destroy all our shipping in Malta under the guns
of all the batteries ; and for another £60,000 he
could send a second into Portsmouth. The lesson
from such a state of things is obvious. We must
have iron-plated ships ready to defend all our ports
in every part of the world. We have the means to
convert readily a host of now antiquated wooden
ships—this must be done at once, and before a
single sovereign more is wasted on forts. The
money which would construct these fancy defences,
would give us by midsummer, if such haste were
necessary, 11 cfonooct which would be, in clo.A,
" Monitors" to all intruders to keep their distance.
We are pleased to learn that orders are issued to
pause in building wooden ships; but it is equally
necessary that we should pause in building stone
forts, and, for the present at least, employ the money
in building Monitors.

This evening the Chancellor of the Exchequer
will, according to arrangement, bring forward his
Budget for the financial year now commencing. As
if in direct contrast to the circumstances surround-
ing him upon the like occasion in the early part of
last session, the accompaniments of Mr. GLAD-
STONE'S Budget for 1862-3 are in the highest degree
satisfactory. Upon the previous occasion every-
thing looked threatening. There were indications,
at any rate, of a storm that never broke, but, on
the contrary, at the eleventh hour, quietly passed
away. There were omens, in effect, of shipwreck
to the whole financial policy of the Government—
omens that actually at one time seemed to be on the
very eve of being verified by their complete fulfil-
ment. The event, however, in the end, entirely
contradicted those sinister auguries of failure. The
abolition of the Paper Duties, not partially and
gradually, but at once and altogether was car-
ried in the teeth of a determined and persistent
opposition. The country—peopled by a race num-
bering only some 30,000,000, yet taxed within the
compass of a single year to the tune of some
£70,000,000, or actually more than double the num-
ber of pounds sterling than these islands have inha-
bitants—yet consented tranquilly to this drain upon
its resources, soothed, among other things, by the
remission of one penny, at least, in the pound in the
tax laid upon incomes. Mr. GLADSTONE carried
every point in defiance of every objection raised to
each in turn, and carried them not only one after
another, but each with flying colours. Since then
the twelvemonth—for which he thus contrived to
legislate financially, through the assent of the
majority of the House of Commons—has
elapsed ; and it is only a day or two
since the nation was enabled to recognise
how wisely that financial legislation was
arran eed—clPPL.nia tin ec this tact totter- c»ll aitv.-54

under the most adverse circumstances—with
£1,130,000 of the Income Tax suddenly foregone,
with £1,330,000 (otherwise certain of accruing to
the Exchequer) summarily swept away altogether,
with diminished imports of corn, of rum, and of
tobacco from the Southern States of the disrupted
Republic of North America—the total deficit dis-
coverable upon striking the balance, trembling
annually upon the verge of a vast total of
£7o,ooo,ooo—the deficit discoverable upon striking
the balance of the national accounts at the end of
the year is actually under £700,000 sterling. It
but very little exceeds half a million: This—at the
close of a year, as we have seen, during which a civil
war in the North American Republic has seriously
interrupted our commerce both with the Federals and
the Confederates—with the Federals, because they
have had something else to do with their money
than buying our goods—with the Confederates,
because their ports have been closed by the war
vessels of the authority still dominant at Washing-
ton. A decrease upon the year of under £700,000
altogether !—with this disadvantage of a civil war
in America interfering with our otherwise lucrative
and increasing commerce with the once United
States, and in defiance of the remission of a round
sum of £2,460,000, about half of it upon direct and
another half on indirect taxation—to wit, a
penny of the Income Tax and the whole of the
Paper Duties ! Remembering all NN, hich, the
Chancellor of the Exchequer may this evening enter
upon his financial statement with a clear conscience
and launch his Budget on smooth waters.

The coincidence is certainly a remarkable one that
Japanese Ambassadors should arrive in Europe, at
the very moment when the POPE is engaged in
manufacturing Japanese Saints. Both events have
their interest diverse as they are. The Ambassadors
can probably hardly form any conception of the
nature of the operations of his Holiness, and most of
us who live nearer to him are not, on this subject,
wiser than the Japanese. We only know that by
some mysterious process the Vicar of CHRIST 011
Earth is able to add to the long list of those to
whom his faithful followers may advantageously
direct their prayers. There is a special appropri-
ateness in the canonization of these priests, who
were executed by the Japanese about two centuries
ago; since, according to Japanese accounts, they
were executed for what has so often brought the
Jesuits into trouble, interfering with, and aiming
at temporal power. In the allocution of his Holi-
ness, therefore, which we published yesterday, he
seems to encourage himself and his audience with
the hopes inspired by an addition to the list of
canonized martyrs who have died in defence of the
Church, and who may be, therefore, looked to now
to co-operate in Heaven with General GUYON on
earth. It must, however, be consolatory to know
that the POPE is so far touched by the arguments
of Father PASSAGLIA, as to declare that the tem-
poral power of the Papacy is not a dogma, but
a providence. Dogmas, we know, cannot change ;
but Providence varies its mode of operations in-
definitely. Italian and other Liberal Catholics
may well hope that Providence will deem it best
for them, and the POPE himself, that the Romans
should be free, that Rome should be the capital
of Italy, that his Holiness should cease to harbour

Neapolitan brigaas, and should become, simply,
the Primate of Dman Catholics.

The Japanese ,tubassadors, if they were con-
sulted, would be perplexed by the pertinacity of
his Holiness. Thy could tell him how convenient
they found it tohave a Mikado and a Tycoon, a
spiritual and a teiporal sovereign, each attending
to his own departient. They would rather wonder
that his Holiness hould not be content with his
sacred rank, and lok upon VICTOR EMMANUEL as
the natural Tycoozof Italy. But, worthy men, they
would certainly b quickly lost in the mysteries of
Parisian, Roman, Lnd Italian politics. Could they
learn the truth, w suspect it would be that the
perversity or ambtion which obstructed so long the
siege of Gaeta nov obstructs, for the same reason,
the emancipation of Rome, and its adoption by
Italians as their capital. Mr. LAVALETTE and
General GUYON gi through, indeed, a kind of pan-
tomime, seemingly acting on opposite views—one
vexed to desire of resignation by the obstinacy of
the PoPE, the othtr encouraging it. But the prac-
tical result is the Rome, under General GUYON
ANTONELLI, and to POPE, keeps Southern Italy in
constant insecuriy, sends forth the disbanded
scoundrels of old ......URDINAND'S army as murdering
and pillaging brig:nds, and too truly gives reason
for the assertion tint in Naples life and property
are not secure. DUIS NAPOLEON enjoys the satis-
faction of hoping ;hat a BONAPARTE revolution in
the South may came eut of all the trouble; that
Italy may at least remain divided and weak; and
that colour may ba given to the notion that he was
wise in planning at Solferino an Italian confe-
deracy. The Pa2E and his cardinals have the
supreme delight coheir part of vexing and harass-
ing the King of a ,unstitutional Italy, the man to
Lz- prefer to give their tempera
allegiance. Whether this cruel policy is to come
to an end now, or at all, seems to depend on the
simple will of General GUYON'S nester. Without
the shadow of right, and to the gievous wrong of
Italy, the Frenchman prolongs his Sated interven-
tion. No one thinks it worth a war to compel him
to do right, and when he will abandon his am-
bitious hopes no one can tell.

Our Japanese friends, however, have left Rome
behind them, and were, when we last heard of them,
on their way to Paris. They have other questions
before them, doubtless, than the R oman one
Japanese Ambassadors have had their inspection of
North America ; they are now come to see and re-
port on the state of the Old World; A new one,
indeed, it must be to them ; the former mission to
the POPE, more than two centuries ago, not having
been from the court, but rather from individuals,
and of a religious character. The present Embassy
is a large and formal one, or rather we may view it
as being in reality a commission of inquiry, its
object, doubtless, being to ascertain whether it is
necessary for them to observe the treaties they
have made with European Powers. So determined
is the old Conservative party in Japan in its hosti-
lity to foreigners, that bat for the fear of their
strength, of whizh they have had such evidence in
China, no one doubts that all foreign nations would
be dealt with as the Dutch were, and perhaps
utterly excluded. By the time, however, that the
Ambassadors have made the tour of the principal
European capitals, they must become pretty well
convinced that it is hopeless for them to think of
excluding the Western barbarians by force. They
will have the great advantage also of seeing at the
Great Exhibition such a commercial display as must
impress them quite as much as our military power.
While the Japanese martyrs are canonised at Rome,
the Japanese Ambassadors will be lionised in Lon-
don. And we may at least hope of the latter that,
on their return, they will be efficient mediators
with the ruling powers in Japan on behalf of Wes-
tern civilisation.

The Benobers of Lincoln,g Tnn
any alternative, we take it, as to the course they
should pursue in regard to Mr. KENNEDY, in refe-
rence to his proceedings in respect to the
now more than ever notorious case of SWIN-
TEN T. SWINFEN. And it is not only that
the Benchers of Lincoln's Inn have devolved upon
them just now the imperative duty of taking those
extraordinary proceedings of Mr. KENNEDY into
their instant and most serious consideration—it is
that precisely the same necessity devolves simul-
taneously upon the whole body of the members of
the bar going the Home Circuit. Inertness, or
silence, or indifference in regard to Mr.KENNEDY'S
doings of late in re SWINFEN v. SWINFEN
' is manifestly not to be thought of for one instant
either among the members of the Home Circuit or
among the Benchers of Lincoln's Inn. For, still
ao- Member of the Home Circuit, a Member of Lin-
coln's Inn is CFMRLES RANX KENNEDY, Esquire,
Barrister-at-Low. And what Mr. KENNEDY is
besides, being a member of Lincoln's Inn and the
Home Circuit, he himself has shown to us of late quite
plainly in -a Court of Justice. Another member of
the same learned profession was actually disbarred
only the other day, it may be remembered, for
pertinaciously persisting in doing upon a very
small scale, comparatively, one of the very things
that Mr. KENNEDY (upon his own showing) has
been doing upon a scale of such stupendous propor-
tions. Namely, quietly ignoring the existence of
that intermediate class of the legal profession, or-
ganised for the very purpose, among ethers, of in-
tervening between Client and Barrister—to wit,
that of the Attorneys. In respect to Mr. KENNEDY'S
doings in this way he may be said to have—in the
most flagrant, and glaring, and conspicuous manner
in the world—turned QUEEN'S evidence against
himself, as one might say, in the absence of
any less Irish illustration. He has himself swept
aside at one fell swoop the whole delicate veil of
soi-disant Bar etiquette, that must otherwise have
shrouded his proceedings. And those proceedings,
as in the absence of that wholesome restraint they
have now turned out to be ! He has told them him-
self. We have the statement of the facts upon his own
authority. Charged against him by any one else,
they would have been deemed, upon the face of
them all, to have been nothing less than frightfully
libellous. Unconscious himself, however, to all
appearance, of there being anything whatever pre-
judicial to the purity and dignity of his character
as a professional man, Mr. KENNEDY is not merely
the very one wilfully to bring his own extraordi-
nary conduct to light, but to do so in a manner the
most startling well imaginable under the circum-
stances.

Here is a barrister who conducts a great cause,
famous among our modern causes celebres, as
" SIVINFEN V. SWINFEN," to a successful issue—and
who, thereupon, instead of receiving his fees as
counsel, according to the ordinary system in vogue
at the Bar (that hitherto invariable system consti-
tuting the very soul or vital principle of what is
ropularly known as the refined system of Bar
etiquette), namely, apart altogether from the client's
knowledge or interference, through the hands ex-
clusively of the solicitor who had the responsibility
of getting up the case ! Here is an eminent counsel
who, instead of conforming thus to the wise and
well-considered regulations practised invariably
among his learned brethren at the bar, obtains a
promise from his client, a promise given directly
and personally to himself by Mrs. SWINFEN, and

that moreover nothing less in its way than a
solemn compact, running to the effect that if he
Mr. KENNEDY can contrive to carry the point for
his client, Mrs. SWINFEN, to a successful issue (as
ho did !)—the latter should afterwards hand over to
him in recompense for his successful conduct of the
case, the magnificent fee of Twenty Thousand
Pounds sterling! For the fulfilment of this promise
Mr. KENNEDY brings an action against his late client
Mrs. SWINFEN. And the jury before whom this
extraordinary case is tried in the Court of Queen's
Bench, having nothing whatever to do with the
(to them) abstract question of Bar Etiquette, having
only to deal with the very simple question of Pro-
mise or no Promise, after a careful hearing of the
whole evidence upon both sides, brings in a verdict
for the plaintiff, and thereby directs that Mrs.
SWINFEN shall hand over the promised £20,000 to
her late counsel, Mr. KENNEDY. The defendant
all the while, observe, in this most exceptional and
unprecedented trial declaring most positively to the
last that she never had given any such pro,:nise
whatever ! And, not only that, but denying quite
as positively and peremptorily, that other and still
more astounding charge imported into the case and
brought against her by the plaintiff—according to
which supplementary charge, supposing we ad-
mit it to have been once "proven," the defendant's
character, as an honest woman, would be whistled
to the winds of heaven, and that, moreover, by the
lightest breeze that ! The plaintiff all the
while being a married man with a family of young
children--in spite of which so-called " incum-
brances" he, according to his evidence, something
more than merely trifles with his client's
reputation. Saith the Lord Chief Justice, with
scorn in his accents, when recurring to this portion
of the evidence in his careful and m.QterlY
up, " Base must be tha nature of such a man !" Why,
listening to the statements of the plaintiff in this
case—statements by which he endeavours to blast
his late client's reputation, while striving to make
good his claim for £20,000, as he eventually did in
fact when the jury gave in their verdict in his favour
—listening, we say, to those amazing statements of
Mr. KENNEDY, poor Mr. FIIRNITAL'S suppositious
coquetting with my Lady MASON in Orley Farm,
would shine forth even in the cynical estimate of it
by Miss BlGGs—pure and immaculate yea in that
poor old blue. nosed lawyer's innermost imagination
Weighing the whole transaction in the ba:ance of
Justice—to say nothing about testing in the no
less delicately adjusted Balance of all our Social
Proprieties—one cannot help feeling now that Mr.
KENNEDY has still but a very feeble chance, indeed,
of ever fingering his fee of £20,000. Though he has
anything, indeed, but a very feeble chance of being
dealt with pretty smartly in regard to that fee, and
in regard to the whole of the proceedings connected
with it, both by the members of the Home Circuit
collectively and by the Benehers of Lincoln's Inn.
