TEE REVOLUTION IN NAVAL.
WARFARE.

The origin Of the invention in naval warfare
which was tested with such marked results in
Hampton Roads on Sunday last will probably
be az much subject of dispute. hereafter, as
many other great discoveries in the peaceful
arts have been. In regard to the spinning.
Jenny, the steam engine, the railway, and the
magnetic telegraph, the merit of practical ap-
plication has generally overshadowed, if not
entirely eclpscd, that of mere discovery or ill.,
yention in its abstract form; and it may be
concluded that the future will show the same
result as applied to irOn.cad vessels. If this
doctrine is accepted, it becomes easy to as
sign the award of precedence-even if We have
to overlook Capt Ericsson's claim, which We
believe can be established-to the conception
which Inatured in the iron.plated La Glore,
the pride of French naval architects, and the
model, in part, of those imposing structures in
England, of which the Warrior is the forerun-
ner. The important difference in tho principle
of construction between the Monitor or her
huge antagonist, and La Glore and the Warrior,
does not forbid us, We think, to refer them to a
common idea in their essential characters and this
view, we take it, may be safely hazarded, even
in advance of the test which must determine
the practical efficiency Of the French and En-
plish iron.plated vessels, as offensive or deiens.
i've appliances in actual warfare. The sttri.
butte they have in common with the vessels
which fought in Hampton ROa1s 10 the power
Of resistance which the iron plate is found t.
pre,ent to the heaviest naval ordnance. Iba'
power may, no doubt, be vastly increased by
the angles at which the exposed sections OF The
vessels are built. The machinery of the Mont
tor may be much better protected than that OF
the Warrior, and the surface LEES exposed; The
revolving gun.turret may be more effective Ihan
the stationary port; the light draft may be
primary consideration. Or again, her partially
tested sea.goiog powers may hide defects for
which new devices must be found Still there
is enough of the unity Of idea before us In oil
these ron-platcd, movable fortreSes to mark
their origin as a grand epoch in the history OF
war, and as the opening Of a complete revolt
ton in tie conduct Of naval hOa.itles.

PAJPERIsy7.

Great Britain returns her public paupers at
about 900, 900, and Mr.. Ballard, our Secretary
of State has just reported thu number Of per
sons supported OF relieved from the public
funds IN this State at 3li,7N-an apparent in-
crease Of 10000 since 1860. If this report
were correct, the State of New-York, with
less than Four Millions of inhabitants, has
more tbau onethird as many paupers as Great
Britain, whose population exceeds Twenty Nil
lions. la other words, while the pauperism of old,
crowded, aristocratic, tnx.ridden England il but
a per cent. of her population, that OF the young
end not hali-peopcd State Of New-YOrk is over
~ per cent. OF her population. But this com
parison is utterly deceptive, owing to the loose
and vicious character VI our Poor.Iaw system.
From what We know OF that system, We are
confident that not 30 many IA 2J0, 900 persons

State last year For instance: Il needy person
calls on the proper officer Of township for
relief, saving that he only wants help to reach
another specified township perhaps the next

cheapest way of dealing with the applicant is
TO give him dollar, or meal aud railroad
pass and send him along. Tins the same per-
son often figures in 4 dozen different townships

in Mr. Ballads exhibit as 80 many pauper'.
