mode of attack. No steam frigate can do this.
The shot-proof steam ram's most effective mode of
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-
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 superiorityin 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
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 posibly 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 ():1r ablest ship constructors that the stern piece
can be ntsde 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•
curved 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 cheek;
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 mast 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 get 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 ampng 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
lsooms, 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 sufficient
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 well 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
powerful and handy than those of the enemy.
Four iron-protected vessels arc 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.

She will still be able to use all her actual artillery,
spread almost as much canvass, and become tenfold
more 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 be 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
t he 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
largo vessel the little one forms an admirable tar-
get, which they must be execrable gunners to miss;

TILE NEW KINGDOM OF ITALY.

ty this time, with an unanimity which is not
wonderful, the Neapolitans will have voted them-
selves subjects of the kingdom of Italy, under
Victor Emmanuel. The title, therefore, will be
complete. Theoretically, unanimous election is,
without doubt, the best title by which 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 the root of all our
Royal trees ; and, of the two, election is surely to
be esteemed more valid than conquest. It was the
title pointed out by God himself; it was the title of
the chiefs of our German ancestors ; it is the title
of our own Royal House; and it is the 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 almost 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" is 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 declarations. She
is declaring she will respect the new English and
French born heresy of non-intervention, which
causes to Pio Nono such paroxysms of disgust, and
she is massing her troops upon the Po, building a
strain 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
overcrarnmed hosts of armed men, and will those
well drilled squadrons whose horses
,Brink 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 P M. Grand,guillot 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 u p 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 Cowl itutionnel 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.

After a number of false attempts, owing to the disobedi-
ence of several of the jockeys and the fractiousness of Aus-
tralian Maid, the flags fell to a wretched start, Moorhen,
Feodorowna, and Australian Maid being left behind a long
way: Sir William, Contadina, and Maggiore on the whip
hand, were the first to show in front, the others, with the
exception of the trio above named, being in close company
with the leaders. In about 200 yards the running was .-7,.
taken up by Contadina, Summerside, Consolation,_o D,
giore, [heiress, Roesia, Maid of the Mist, Mdlle,.d . Chan-
tilly,d Thunderbolt, Weatherbound, Golden Pippin, atn
Prelude figuring among the first ranks. Approaching
le
site of the old Duke's Stand, Weatherbound and INlcili
Chantilly singled themselves out, and at once quittede.thte
whole of their opponents.
A slashing race home ensued,

eaavnetthed the
the best
of the struggle, but her jockey tiring a
judge's chair, the French mare was beaten by a head ;
there were five lengths between the second and third horses.

head behind the fourth. Golden Pippin, Thunderbolt, and
Prelude were the next lot. The last four comprised Nuncia
The Flutter colt, Amsterdam, and Australian Maid. ,
