WAR STEAMERS.

The British navy has lately received an
important addition of an iron steam fri
gate, the Greenock of 1413 tons burthen,
launched into the Clyde on the Doth of
April, constructed on the principle of our
far-famed Princeton, with a screw propel-
Ter of the same size, IA feet diameter a
sliding chimney, capable of being depressed
or elevated at pleasure, similar to that of
the Princeton and with engines placed in
the bottom of the vessel, out of reach of
shot. England having got the start of us
in the construction of ocean and war
steamers, by at least a dozen years, we
have reason to feel proud of having set
her an example in the art of constructing
the latter. Those of our readers who are
not familiar with naval matters, may not
have reflected that there are three essen
tial conditions that must be fulfilled to
produce an efficient war steamer First.
ly, the propelling instrument must be ca
pable of operating under water secondly,
the steam machinery must be placed be-
low water-line, out of reach of shot and,
thirdly, the chimney must be capable of
being struck, and the combustion in the
boiler furnaces sustained independently of
the ordinary draught. All these indispen-
sable conditions are practically fulfilled IN
the Princeton, and the American navy can
boast Of having produced the first war
steamer capable of encountering the thun-
der of an old fashioned fighting ship, with.
out fear of being crippled at the first broad
side. Our friends on the Clyde must not
in their Civilizations forget that their for
midable Greenock is, after all, in every
essential point, only a copy Of certain
ship built on the Delaware, and wei
known, having so frequently exchanged
friendly salutations with Her Majesty
navies in the Gulf of Mexico and in tn,
| Mediterranean.

IRELAND REDIVIVUS.

Jerrolds Weekly Ns,os contains notice of book
just published in London, entitled "Rizzio; or
Scenes in Europe during the Sixteenth Century," by
the late Mr.. Ireland. The author of this work is
the William Henry Ireland who acquired so much
notorety, about half century ago, by the fabrca-
ton of documents concerning Shakespeare; and
| also by the composition of two whole plays, "Vos-
tigern'' and ''Henry H., which he endeavored to
persuade the public were genuine productions of
the great poet, and by which he succeeded in MAX
ing numerous dupes among the literary and critical
circles of the day. Ireland afterwards published
confession of the fraud. He died in 1894. Mr..
James, who has edited the present production,
speaks of thus in his preface:
"The manuscript was sold by public auction to
highly respectable bookseller; by him it was trans
ferred to another, who laid it before the present
editor That editor found the style antiquated, and
the expressions often of the worst style of the novel
lstic school of thirty or forty years ago. but in the
work itself there is very curious and minute pic
ture of Europe in the age which it refers. Ii has
evidently been the fruit of much severe reading and
the authors introduction shows that the propensity
fabrication, in which all young Ireand's misfor-
tunes began, had not even yet entirely left him.
That he intended TO pass this off authentic
TOPOGRAPHY of David Rizzio, do not mean to say
but he certainly had great inclination to leave it
| doubtful whether the work authentic or not'
sRzzio, says the .Nsios, has little merit as
literary composition, but is full of evidence of the
imaginative faculty of the writer and of his fami-
arty with the great historic facts and of the
minor pecularties of the age and the countries of
which he treats. The author has eontrived to bring
Rizzio in personal communication with almostevery
remarkable parsonage of his time-Henry WILL,
Wolsey, and Anne Boleyn, Francis l., Henry H.,
Diana Of Poctiers and Catherine de Medici, Charles
w., and Philip H., and of course Mary Queen of
Scots and Darnley. Besides these persons, he in

| The Executive Mansion, the Capitol,
and the buildings of the several Depart
ments, are ordered to be closed this day,
and shrouded in black in token of public
grief. A darker and more impenetrable

highest destiny known to human ambition.
witness of the general gloom shall be re-
moved, the stately piles will look as though
there had not been sorrow in the land ;
but the pail that covers in darkness the
work of the Creator will remain forever.
Here where Ex-President Polk stood,
so lately the representative head of
mighty people, his death has produced, as
well it might, profound sensation. To
HIM who holds the issues of life and death,
it matters not if he lay his hand upon the
great or the small. 1t is soul called
hence to meet the reward of deeds done
in the body. To mankind the passing
away of life like this produces chasm
which startles the understanding. 1t brings
closer to the apprehension the feebleness
of our hold on life. All that man could
do, all that nation could bestow, was frail
as web of gossamer against the shaft of
fate. They could not add a span to the
length of his days. He faded from the
earth like transient glimmer. Whatever
the difference in the condition of men
here, in the grave all are equal.
Whilst we contemplate in wonder the
extinction of shining light, it should teach
us to know that, in the economy of nature,
men are nearer equal than the observances
of society would imply. If humbleness
has its wants, greatness has its cares.
There is that which qualities whatever
seems enviable. Much is exacted from
those who are exalted above the rest.
Popularity is at best task-master, re-
curing more than it bestows. Good deeds
done in high places will oft-times bring re-
proach upon the doer; bad ones as often
are applauded of men. This should be an
admonition; all situations have their cares,
their duties, their blessings, and their bur-
dens; and they act wisest who win con-
tent by following the path of duty in meek
ness and thankfulness of spirit.

The schooner Renaissance arrived at New Or

The war in the Sierra is yet far from being ex-
tinguished. An agreement TO suspend hostites
had been signed by Gen. Bustamente and Don M
Verastegui, the latter in the name of Don T. Quiros
a chief of the rebels, and the document had been
brought to the capital by Col Robes for the APP
proval of the President. Subsequently, fresh hos
tile demonstrations had been made by the Indians
in the direction Of San Luis Potosi.
The Minister of Finance, Senior Arrnngoz, has
submitted to Congress project by which permis-
sion will be granted TO foreign vessels calling at
any Of the Mexican ports on their way to Califor-

be adopted, and will facilitate commerce both in

From the .Alsrandria Gazette.

Is the opposition to the present Administration
just or a reasonable one This is the question
before tn people of this country for their consider
alton and decision We omit any reference at this
time to the other question, whether the tone and
manner Of the opposition can be excused-but we
limit the inquiry TO the Interrogatory first put.
Let il be remembered that the opposition on the
part of the leaders Of the elected dynasty quite
as intense and bitter on the fifth day of March 1t
is on the eighteenth Of June. Some Of the
willy presses it is true, for a few days, pretended
''to hope better things" for themselves and their
friends from the President. But the veil was thin,
awkwardly worn, and soon pulled off, as inconve-
nent and useless The system Of opposition was
plani ed and organized in advance of any decara-
ton Of his course of policy by President Taylor
and before any action with regard TO public affairs
was taken by himself or the Cabinet IL would
have been the same had other gentlemen than those
now occupying the Heads Of Departments been Sc
lected for those oices-and it would have been Just
as intense and bitter had the removals from Office
been limited to a very few. Do want proof Of
this We refer to the files Of the Union and its af
flated journals throughout the country. When
Brown and McCalla were Justly removed from Of
fee, for gross and continued interference with the
freedom Of elections" loud wall went up, and
as malignant comments were made, as if the "inno-
cents" had really been slain; and had these two
alone been the "victlms" Of Executive reform, we
should still have heard the shouts Of "proscrip-
ton, listened to the means Of affected grief, and
been threatened with the retribution Of indignant
revenge
We hold that an opposition thus contrived and
planned, determined upon its course, per tas a,a
neas, is not either just reasonable, and ought to
be discountenanced and condemned by the Ameri-
can people. We contend that elected as General
| Taylor has been, by the people Of the country,
without regard to sectional divisions, and in con-
sideraton of his life and conduct, and his ustrious
services, it is but right he should have fair trial,
and not be subjected to the predetermined hostility
Of political party, organized to break down and
destroy his own fame and the character Of his Ad-
| ministration. Let us have justice.
| General Taylor himself, we know, asks no par
tcular favors at the hands Of his opponents. Com
ing into Office the President Of the nation, he may
not have expected that the leaders of the political
party opposed 10 his election would have pursued
precisely the course they have done But their ac-
ton does not swerve him from the line of his duty.
| He has faith and confidence in his countrymen.
