The burning of the New Ironsides Jeinnd, for want of water te extinguish the | flames, bas © palpably demonstrated the na- fitness of that place tor the proposed Nationa; Arsenal tor iron-clads, that the Proposition fo establish it there will Probably be aban- dened. ‘The Philadelph'a papers state that ‘when the tide went out, the fire companies abandoned the vessel to her fate, and returned to the city, a8 there was ne water to be op- | tained. The truth is that Wasbingion is the proper point for the location of the iron-clud mavy yerd, and its fitness for the purpose Would have long ago beer. recognized but for | the scramble made by parties in the interest Of different Jocalities to secure it for their Own advantage, without the slightest re. gard fo national interests. The contest has been desgue leland and New London. It ts am insuperable objection to New London that the water is salt there, aud consequently unfit for storing iron-ciads, and against League Asiend itis urged that it isa low mud-bank an shallow water, where the cost ofmaking soltd foundations, even for the commencement or operations, would be enormous, and when cumpleied it would be justabout as serviceable as the celebrated Memphis Navy Yard, “buil: Where the ground was a little damp,” and mever used to launch even a canoe. The Navy Wara harbor at this point has already shown its capacity and fitness for the storing of iron- clads, baying had a fleet of them located here fora long time. and the yard has all the ad- junets and sppliances required in conneetion ‘with their disposition here. t The New York Post, while demonstrating the unfitness of League Island for tne Posi- tion, errs in hotding that the arsenal should be located upon an open sea trort. It is an | indispensable requisite that iron-clads shal | be stored im fresh water, and thus the a-gu- ments in favor of placing navy yards upon ses-frents are not valid im this case. The New Yorg Herald points out the advantages of Washington for the arsenal very conclasive- ly, 93 foliows « We ha eeeived @ creat many communi- | ations, pa ephicts, andargumenis on the sub- | ject of locating a navy-yard for building and | Fepairing Our ifon-ciad war yesseis.

The greater distance from the } sea is also another advan It_woutd ba better protected near the capitol of the Repub. lic Irom foreign enemies than elsewhere. In every point of view then, and to end the tron- bie about the matter arising from the rival claims ofthe different places and interested parties, the Government shouid decide at once to locaie the navy yard for iron-clads at Wash- ington.” THE MARYLAND LEGISLATURE, ‘The Legistature of Maryland meets on Wed. nésday next at Annapolis. and the session will Ro doubt be an interesting one, im consequence Of the political changes brought about attne Tecent election.
