our officers believe to be the most de-
struetive weapon that has ever been used
IN war The torpedo has been more at
traetlve to Americans than any other
deadly instrument, and we have brought
the thing to a state Of perfection IN
known to Europe. Although it is true
that any fertilization can be battered

according to Admiral Rowan, that any
fertilization can be passed by ships of

All our torpedoes, as Is well known,
are made on Goat Island They differ

boats, it is believed, will be strong
enough to run up under the guns OF any
iron clad frigate and sink her without
giving her chance to prevent it. The
Law torpedo boat. which had SO many
trials here last Spring. is believed to be
in practical working order. and If SO. it
is the most powerful engine of war that
is known. A boat that can be sent in
any direction beneath the surface of the
water two or three miles. be steered in
any direction, from which a torpedo may
be discharged at any time, and which
may be brought back safely after it has
done its work, and all this without any
crew except man standing on shore
and operating a magnetic instrument,
sounds chimerieal enough but the Lay
boat has done this. and it is believed
that she can be relied on to do it every

THE SPANISH DRAMA.

A new scene is being enacted upon
the stage of Spanish politics, Inc IT,
publican form of government which :.
ardenay hoped might maintain i'seif
long enough to become respected mas
1851 ~ and the earnest CASTELAR,
hos a.d his country. The Cortes. by a
decided majority, pronounced against
CASTELAR,. and bold general marched IN
a body of troops to scatter the authorl-
ties of the republic. while son of the
late queen was named King. No blood
has been she'd. and up to the present
time no permanent government has been
established. 1t is presumed that the
difficulty with the United States in re-
gard to the Virginius caused dissatissae-
ton with CASTELAR, and tended to his
overthrow. The Carlist war is still be-
ing waged, and the new order Of affairs
may not put an end to it at once We
predict that no new government will
command that respect in this country
which was felt for the republic, and that
a sympathy, heretofore unexpressed. will
be manifested for the patriots of Cuba
How long must few slaveholding arls
tocrats and volunteer soldiery of MUIR
derers be allowed to rule and slaughter
an innocent populace in an island, that
lies at our very doors ? If Spain car
not be pacifed except by war and blood
shed, let it be in her own borders. anC
not upon this side of the Atlantic.
