THE MONITORS.

These vessels are understood to be even
more formidable in some respects, while
they are less so in others, than we had been
led 10 suppose. For instance, the turrett
may be regarded as practically lmpenetra-
BILE, or very nearly so, while the sides will
afford very small mark, since the vessels
are SO constructed that by filling 10 or fore.
ing out water, tqey can be lowered or rails.
ed in the writer. Their weak points con-
sists in the great weight of their turre,ts.
That Of the Montauk weighing one hun
dred and sixty tons. The correspondent
Of the New York Herald. speaking Of the
performance of the Montauk before Fort
McAlister, says that after considerable FIR
ing, it Gagged somewhat, and considerable
trouble was encountered in keeping il ND
so that il would reyolve easily. The blast
from the guns came back through the eye
holes in The pilot house, so that the effects
of practice could not be observed. The
big gun fills up its port-hole. so that il
could not be sighted except by the" elevss-
inch" along side Of it, which is rough gan
merry. Firing over the stern and quarter
caused the boilers to foam; they must be
secured also more firmly; down below
glass suffered, and the wicks Of lamps dis.
appeared at each discharge. Some means
must be devised for handling the monstrsus
projecliles weighing over four hundred
pounds.
We have, then, the enormous weight Of
the turrett, its liability TO sagg, so a. to
wholly or partially cease to reyolye; the
great injury to the men by concussion; the
impossibility Of taking accurate aim Or sf
verifying the accuracy Of any FIRE, on az
count Of the big gun filling up its port-hole,
and Of the smoke from the guns aying
back through the holes in the pilot house,
with other Inconvenience too numerous 10
mention.
The weight Of metal thrown against the
turrett may derange il so that in cannot re-
volye; the shock Of their own guns, with
the impiRgement Of our shot, will make it
almost impossible for the men on board
these vessels to work with vigor or adyan-
tage. Their gunnery must be rather wild,
and cannot be long continued, nor can they
venture ia heavy sea. or il they did. they
would be wholly useless.
One thing we are not sorry 20 learn.
These vessels, although by contract they
were 10 draw not more than nine and half
feet, will probably draw two and half or
three feet more, which, If il be true, 40 We
think tits. may not do US any harm. We
don't care how much water they draw.

Without commenting, at present, on the
general merits Of this bill, we may say that
there are obvious crudities and inequali-

Senate. For example. section XII pro-
yides that Brokers shall pay two hundred
dollars tax. and twenty per cent. on the
gross amount OF receipts realized. while
section XIII provides that Commercial
Brokers produce or Commission Mer.
chants shall pay two hundred dollars and
two snd half per centum upon all sales
made. The first is tax upon profits
the second upon gross sales. Now it So
happens that rne latter is the entire amount
of commission charged by Commercial
Brokers, at least il is so 10 this city,
While, therefore, ti,e Broker is chsrged

Merchant is charged the Dhois of his-and
two hundred dollars besides. Nor can he
relieve himself by increasing his commits.

this. The people do not object 70 heav,
