From the Madison-inn. AVAR STKAMKUS. Tlie eagerness with which armed steanrers liuvo been introtluccd into the navies of Ku mpe, shows the high appreciation in which tin y are jnstly held, as enginesof destruction. Aiming the many great advantages which theso vessels possiitse over all others, U their independence of winds and tides, by wiiieli t!ne who naviguto them ore enabled tochiKise tin ir positions at pleasure and attack at the very time w ban vessels propelled by sails are entirely Hi tlieir mercy. The first oc-s'iuii on which the superiority of this doscription'of ves sel was tested on a great scale, is believed to have been at the attuck on Vera Cruz, when the celebrated castle of Han Juan D.Ullon, pre viously deemed impregnable was battered to pieces in the course of a very (short time. An other and latter engagement, in which their ef ( etie!iess was fairly tried was the attack on Aero, liy the British laud and naval forces. In tliis brilliant alTair, the result of which was s ) glorious to British arms, was attributed, in a great meamiro, to 'he ability with w hich the war steamers were managed, of which iho commander-in-chief mado Iho most honorable mention in his despatches to his government, it would teem indeed that, armed with the lVixhan guns, thete engines uie irresistible. These guns, when brought to bear, are de structive beyond conception, as t.iey can bo fired rvi ill 11 the precision of common ordnance, and thrtrw -slielU winch burst when theyt-trike, tearing to fieccs t!e material in which they become imbedded. -s -ail lhat is required to give trteti! full eflccti-vtuessis tu get sufficiently near, their use is peculiarly adujitod to war -tcaincrp, which tancnter harbors, iy aiarr-ow c hannels that hao heretofore 'been iinoi'ensi b!e except undtT the most favorable circutn sl.nu'es us to wind and tide. We have soon a p1n of the attack on Vera Cruz, in which the Trench acipiiroj so much renown, 'it appears that one uujkc t nfoty, on which great relianec had teen placed by the defenders ofthe fjrlilicutioiis, was the difli culty of approach. In cuder rto como wtti.in un-j-hdof the worl;s, it ivas lu'cesra'toget insidcofa reef of rocks which extended itself u!ong the shore and, through which there wus lnit a single iiarrew biusssge. In ordor te Ukc ad .aiCnge of'tlfis -entTance, it was necessary for an assailunt to catch the w ind in a certain piarter at a jMirtiCiilar lime of the tide, which could very rarely be dene. Hiving acertained ithe position dt tlie chain. el, the French tom munder made his wut steamers 'tow tlie other ships through, one after the other, and place .'them precisely at the points which bhonld iirniie 'their fire most effective, lliti heavy Ship being thus disposed of in lino, ond. with in reach ofthe latteries, lie caused tliem to comuieiioe 'firing sitnulinneously, and tlH con "quence was utter dummy and destruction to tlie enemy. Thus, in a space of time incredi bly short, was this fortress reduced 'U- .a mass of nuns. W'e have-attonipted to give this description rioin nieinory, a consuieruwc litne t;.r. ing e- i attacks, under circumstances that would make j make it iinwissiMe to iiubody trixis to resist them. J his is only one example, onto! a great number, that might be adduced. Should n war with Knglaud take place a thing verry far from impossible, how would the matter stand I It appears from a statement in the Army and Navy Register that (Jreat lintain has upwards of one hcnmikd of tiik.sk war MTEAMF.its, whilst icc hare but Two, that could render any service ; consequently the dis parity would pe as fifty to oxk, saying that all these vessels w ere put on this service, mid that too with a lino ot coast of thousands of miles in exten', to say nothing of the Lakes. Appalling as this condition of things may be, it is nevertheless true to llw letter, and yet when the Secretary ofthe Navy asks (or mon ey to build war steamers to place us on some thing like an equality w ith a single foreign na tion, his requisitions arc treated with silent con tempt, and we are told that the estimates are lis) high. Shame! .Shame ! on such a niggard ly and penny wise and pound foolish policy. We may be told that Lord Ashburton's visit will put all to rights, and that there can be no war with Kngland. This may not turn out to be the case, and we say from the bottom of our hearts. Heaven grant it will, for deplorable indeed would be the conditicn of the Atlantic Slates were ho-tilites to take place with (Sreat Bi ilaiu i uny other formidable maritime power. fXj- Lillell'a Museum for April has been recei vr J, hut not in lime to notice its contents this week. fXj" On Monday last, on motion of U.

Never has it fallen to our lot to record con sequences more disastrous, when there wus no appareut danger, than were those consequent upon the lire near Poplar lane and Sixth streets, yesterday morning. The fire origina ted in a carpenter shop, about half a square distant from the Public Primary Scohool, in which were from ninety toone hundred child ren, between the ages of four and twelve years. There was no danger of the fire extending to the school house at all ; but the wind blowing in that direction, carried a column of heavy black sin ike immediately over it, w hich partial ly filled the rmn, and, naturally enough, tilled the minds of tin; little ones with fear and Cou klfrtiut inn noil ulint ni ikmlit increased l!ie ill i . .i 1 appearance command a majority of the votes tisnic. nud adiletl new horrors to the scene, is , ' ' f the f,ct, that not a day since, a little girl, the) associate uud playmate if many of these children, in that immediate neighborhood, met a horr'b'.e nnd crurJ death, by her cknhcs tak ing tire.
