 They (Immigrants) will bring with them the principles of the government they leave, imbibed in their early youth; or, if able to throw them off, it will be in exchange for an unbounded licentiousness, passing, as is usual, from one extreme to another.

These principles. with their language, they will transmit to their chldren.-In proportion to numbers, they will share with us thelegislation.

AN INTERNAL MAoHINE.-The general
government is constructing at Hoboken, N.
D., HARBoR STEAM BATTERY. The Jour
nal Of Commerce says, it is carefully screen
ed from public view, and visitors are seldom
admitted. The original protector having de-
ceased, the work is being carried forward by
surviving brother. Among the estimates
of appropriation by the United States gov
erument for the ensuing year, is SS6,717 for
this enterprise. She has been planked up to
the main deck with heavy iron plates, and
amidships the planking has been extended
several feet higher, for the protection of the
machinery. 1t is understood that other lay
ers of plates are to be added, so as to make
n wall at least six inches in thickness, proof
against shot and shell. The appropriation
already made and expended for this enter
prise was $250,OOO. The length of this
iron battery is about 400 feet She will be
equipped with heavy armament, and fur
naces for heated shot; and be propelled by
steam, at unusual speed. it is asserted that
she might run into an ordinary vessel cutting
her in two.
This work was commenced after long
series of experiments, under the supervision
of Com. Stewart and Col. Patten, represent
ing the army and navy to determine the pen
Grating power Of cannon shot upon plates
of iron. Their report was satisfactorily, show
ing that wrought iron plates Al inches in
thickness, formed perfect defence against
solid Cab. shot, fired at distance of ten
yards, or that successive layers of iron plates,
with intervening spaces, were equally effica-
cious. The Secretary of the Navy was soon
after authorized to contract for the work here
noticed. For harbor defence, such craft as
this must prove highly efficient, moving
about rapidly and choosing its position at
pleasure, regardless of the most formidable
missiles of the enemy.-and hurting its heat
ed shot and other projectiles in every direc-
ton, the havoc committed would be fearful.
The cost Of this "infernal machine" COM
plete, is estimated at $l,OOO,OOO.
