THE REPORT OF THE BANKING DEPARTMENT.
The annual report OF the Banking department was
New-York tribune., 1870-09-26

The particulars of the sinking of the Captain,
which we publish this morning, leave hardly
any doubt upon the faults of construction to
which her loss must be attributed. Although
of 1000 tuns less burden than the Monarch,
she had the same heavy armament and thick
plating as that great ship, with enormous
iron masts, large spars, and an unprecedent-
edly extensive area of canvas. The Monarch
has freeboard of IA feet; the Captain, in
accordance with the system of her designer,
was built only nine feet above the water.
Thus she was in the first place especially
liable to heel beyond the center of gravity, in
consequence of the great weight of the spars,
sails, and turrets above deck, and in the
second place particularly apt to ship heavy
seas on account of the lowness of her free
board. Being struck by squall on the port
side, she gave a sudden lurch, so that the tops
of the turrets were under water, and the wind
got so powerful purchase against the under
part of the broad hurricane deck which ex-
tends from bows to stern above the turTets, that
she was unable to right herself, and was actu-
ally overset by the weight of her masts. She
was a more dangerous vessel than the Mon
arch, first, in having disproportiOnately heavy
spars and too much canvas; secondly, in hay
ing too low sea-board thirdly, in having a
wide hurricane deck where the Monarch has
only bridge; fourthly, in carrying too much
weight above the water line in proportion to
her draught. Her loss seems To settle the
principle that low freeboard and heavily
armed turrets, however applicable to vessels
of the monitor class without masts, cannot
safely be combined in sea-gong vessels de-
signed TO spread canvas.

turers of one Of our American rims have
orders not only for all the rifles and car. ridges
in their possession and all they can make in
the immediate future, but their manufactur. ing
resources are engaged for years TO come.
AS the facts in regard to MacMahOn's cam
paign develop, it appears that not he but
Count PalkaO was responsible for the absurd
movement which placed the French army in
the "basin of Sedan,' as some writer has
aptly described the scene of the surrender of
Napoleon. Official documents show further
that not Wimpffen but Napoleon, ordered the
capiuation. Gen. MacMahon wished to retreat
on Paris and defend that city, but Count
PalikaO planned the Sedan campaign in all its
details, and il responsible for its disasters.
Wimpffen urged the Emperor TO cut his way
ont of Sedan, going either to Belgium or
southeast toward Metz, but the Emperor said
no. and very sensibly resolved it was; for
neither movement could have ended in escape,
and certainly would have led to further COM
plications and more slaughter.
The French official reports of the defeat NJ
Chatillon, before Paris, on the 10Th, tells DIS
couraging story of French discipline ana
French vaor, and we discover that after all
these fiery Gauls may be just as helpless and
undisciplned, and run as quickly under bad
commanders as any other race. The lately
beligerent Fenians when on the Canadian
border were not worse disciplined or oficered
than the Zouaves and Mobiles upon whom Paris
depends for defense against the veteran troops
which won Sadowa and Sedan. We publish
Gen. Ducrot's report this morning. lie does
not deny that the defeat was complete, but
attempts to palliate the discreditable conduct
of the troops.
New-York tribune., 1870-09-26

The surrender of Toul, which was first an
nonced on Saturday morning i'll the TRIBUNE'S
Berlin special dispatches, was an important vic
tory for the Germans. Twenty-seven hundred
prisoners, one hundred and ninety-seven can
non, five hundred and odd thousand ratOns-
these were the material advantages gained. But
these were the least of the benefits arising
from the capture. BY this caDitulatlOn the
Germans become possessed of an unobstructed
line of railway communication between their
frontier and the City of Paris This was ne
cessiy to them, because of the difficulty of con-
veying ammunition, stores, and siege trains by
the common roads around the fortress.
For much of the distance the Germans
now possess three lines of railway, and appear
to be building others. The difficulties of main
tanning these routes of communication will not
prove insurmOuntable to the Germans. The
French Government urged the peasants to de-
stroy them in the rear of the German armies
but as long as France is unable to encourage
the peasants by the operations of large bodies
for the same purposes, they will not turn bush
Whackers." In our own experience IT was
found that there was no difficulty in maintain
ing railway lines in the South as long as no
rebel armies or raiders appeared near them.
New-York tribune., 1870-09-26
NO SURRENDER.

The Provisional Government, or at least
that fraction of it represented by NM
Cr6mieux, Glas- BizOin, and Fourichon, as
sumes the awful responsibility of urging
France to a continuation of the hopeless and
ruinous struggle, and pOstpOning indefinitely
the elections for the Constituent Assembly.
| Whether the Obstinacy of the heads of depart
ments at Tours is shared by the officials who
remain in Paris makes no essential difference
the attempt at an accommodation is defeated
by the proclamation which we publish this
morning; the people are denied the OppOrtu-
nifty of expressing their judgment on the
mOmentOus question of peace or war; and the
horrors of battle, SIEGE havoc, and starvation
must be renewed over and over again, until
France is ground to the very dust. She fights
with magnificent herOsm, but she fights
against hopeless odds. There has been no
chance of victory for her since MacMahon
marched out of Chalons on his ill-advised ex-
petition to relieve the beleaguered army of
Bazane Every blow that she has struck since
then has left her in worse case than before,
shattered her own defenses, and postponed the
day of her ultimate TecuperatiOn. Every hour
that she now protracts her resistance will ag-
gravate her final humiliation.
We should have more patience with and
respect for these proclaiming Ministers if it
were not so evident that they seek to mis-
represent the Germans and deceive the French.
They complain of the Prussian terms what
terms did they propose They pronounce the
Prussian basis of peace inadmissible; what
inducements for peace did they Ofleri Rep
resenting, by succession, the Government
which drove Prussia into this disastrous war,
what did they offer to do TO end it If they
could show that they proposed terms which
Germany might have accepted with safety, and
France have guaranteed with honor, their
present attempt to rouse the French TO a
hopeless resistance might have awakened sym
pathy and won them respect. But they have
not attempted to show anything of the kind,
and their language, in the absence Of such
| oiiical assurance, simply weakeD5 their cause.
