He believed that many of our wooden ships would have done the same thing, and it would necessarily not be so easy to run down a steamer, as such a vessel would be much better able to avoid the collision. It appeared, too, that the Merrimac had been injured in that operation. He would next proceed to notice the other vessel, the Monitor. That was a vessel of a very curious form. Mr. Ericsson, if he was the author of a communication which had been attributed to him, stated that she was quite a new vessel, and that he had built her partly as an admonition to the British government. He (the Duke of Somerset) was obliged to the people of America for their admonition, and still more obliged to them for their experiments. If they would only make a few more of these experiments they would save the naval authorities in this country a good deal of trouble in firing at their target a
