Progress of the New Monitors. . The three iron gunboats of the Monitor model, which were ordered by—the Govern- Mint immediately after the engageMent of the Monitor with the Merrimac, hive been commenced at Greenpoint, near New York. They are to be built very much like the Monitor, except thattley.are each to-have two revolving shot-proof turrets instead of one. The model is also slightly altered so as to male them better. sea-bciate; and to give them greater-speed. Like the Moni tor, they are to be propellers, the deck being but little above the water-line. Their length is to be three hundred and two feet over all, with a breadth of beam of forty one feet, and a depth of hold of twelve feet. The armor is to be six inches in thickness: There are at present but two.of them com menced, but the blocks have been laid for the reception of the keel of the third. The work is well along on the first one, however. The frame, which is entirely of iron, is up,. except at the bow and stern, and the work of Tutting on.the first layer of iron plates has already commenced. The Iron ribs and the plates are forged in a 'separate work shOp, but small forges are set up all along each side for heating the bolts. As large a crew of men as can work with conven ience are busily engaged in riveting the plates. It will be at least four months be fore the first boat is launched. - QUICK Wolc.—On Sunday last a requi , &Won was made on Quarter Blaster Gen eral Wright for nine hundred thousand round e of musket cartridges,' for Pittsburgh Land ing the same! day they wore loaded and °Wale way.
