Defects in Iron.Plated Ships.

The English are in trouble with their iron
plated ships. -Four of their largest friga.es
had made a trial trip to Portugal, and return
ed with their plates loosened-so much SO
that they are to be locked and thoroughly
repaired. The impression is becoming gen.
erai In naval circles that the plating of wood
en- ships is mistake, and so strong has this
feeling become that Lord Palmerston had to
Withdraw his estimates for the REPEATING of
more OLD vessels for fear OF a cabinet defeat in
Parliament.
Our own experience in this country is
against the armoring OF old vessels. The first
fleet built on our western waters were of this
description and they are all partial failures
and VIII not outlast the war save as curiosi-
ties. OF course the best backing yet discov-
cred for iron is wood but the backing should
be fitted to the iron rather than the iron to

IMPORT on THE CONDUCT OF THE WAR
WE Congressional Committee on the Conduct
oil the War consisted originally of Senators
wade of Ohio, johnson of Tennessee, Chan
der of Michigan, and Representatives Gooch
oil Massachusetts,, Covode of Pennsylvania,
Julian of Indiana, and Odell of New York
After Governor johnson was called away from
Washington by other public duties, his place
was filed by Senator Wright of Indiana. 1t
is understood that Mr.. Odell has taken but
little part in the investigations of the Commit
tee Their report, published last Monday,
makes a pamphlet of ga pages, containing an
abstract of the testimony respecting the Ar
my of the Potomac with the Committees
commentary. The opinions of the leading
members of the Committee, concerning the
campaigns in Virginia, are we'll understood,
having been repeatedly expressed in the most
public manner. The present report contains
the grounds upon which, right or wrong, those
opinions rest. Gen. McClellan's forthcoming
report OF his campaigns will contain his de-
Tense. These documents will be of interest
hereafter, when we have leisure for historical
studies. just now Malvern Hill seems as re-
mote as Thermopyla, and we turn to Vicks-
burg, Charleston, Murfreesboro, and Freder-

NEW CRY CHARTER.-The vote on the ac-
ceptance Of the new City Charter on Tuesday
was, as usual on such amendments, very small,
the yeas being lilo, and nays 80. The new
charter has, therefore been accepted by the
citizens, and the officers chosen on Tuesday
hold office only until the second Monday of
March, 1854, in place Of April, as under the
old charter. Hereafter the municipal election
is to be held upon the first Monday in March
annually, a2d we congratulate the citizens that
hereafter in fixing the election day in their
minds they will not have to take John Holmes
