The Prince de Joinviile,, now in ENGLAND.
has written aletter tc a gentleman in Wash
ington, reviesing tie present condition ofthe
navies of Sbe United States. England and
France. lie declares that our navy now has
the lead, and that we have wisely anticipated
the current Of events by adopting the ''Moni-
tor, system of small iron-clad vessels
mounting few, guns and by resorting to fast
screw sloops, not iron-cfad, for cruising pur-
poses. His judgment plainly condems the
unweiidy, broadsdes. iron-plated monsters
which England and France are SO fond of
Displaying to each other across the Channel.
In gunnery, it will be perceived, he directs
attention to a want which, after all the span-
did achievements of the enormous pieces
mounted IN the turrets of our monitors, IS
strongly felt by all amoung US who have CON
sldered the suhject-the want Of heavy ritled
gun capable of resisting 4 high charge OF
powder. The approach made towards satisfy
ing this want by the Parrot gun and other
Inventions to the same end not yet adopted
sufficiently prove that this problem is not be-
yond the reach of our mechanics, when it is
fairly grappeled With.
The latest news from Europe says thsS
Judah p Benjamin. late Rebel Secretary OF

stationed at Andersonuille, and must have
forgotten his own despatch relative to the
hanging of UDionists in East tennessee The
English papers now suggest that the Sbenan-
doah be treated pirat by British ships Of

1t is announced that the British Government

FROM the moment that he learned the

All the remittances received from the numer-.
Gus depositors of the house were at once put

This has been another very memorable and
exciting day in the history Of Atlantic City.
Hardly had the noise and confusion subsidized
over the grand carnival at Congress Hall,
Cape May, than her rival, Atlantic City
not to be outdOne-acccpted the challenge,
and preparations upon large and expensive
scale were at once made and inaugurated "a
excel her sister city by giving an ''illumina.
tion ball, which, for brilliant decorations,
expensive dressing, and beautiful women, far
exceeded anything Of the kind ever yet taken
place at this fashionable sea.shore resort
The spacious and elegant dining room Of
the States" which Is $50 feet long,
was tastefully decorated and festooned
throughout the whole length Of the building
with national and State flags, whose graceful
| folds were supported at proper intervals by
national shield, while at each end of the
room hung life-siEe profile likenesses Of our
departed statesmen-Wa Washington and Lin
coin.
The lawn fronting the ocean was brilliantly
lit up with Chinese lanterns Of variegated
colors, with appropriate notices and names
Of our gallant heroes inscribed thereon, re-
lecting with dazzling splendor upon the fair
and beautiful ladies that crowded the halls
and ballroom Of this palatial hotel. The
display Of fireworks was truly magnificent,
and at times II seemed that the whole build
ing was wrapped in one sheet Of flame, pro-
ducing beautiful effect upon the vast and
crowded assemblage present. At the con-

thing went of in the most satisfactory man

The managers, courteous and obliging, de-
serve n great deal Of credit for their indie

Altogether, 1t was q decided success-an oc.

participated in its enjoyment.
