THE LATEST NEWS. Liverroot, Saturday, March 19-—-KEvening. A late Berlin despatch says that five Prussian batteries are ready to open fire across the Weninberg. The Danish iron-elad Relf-Krake has been repulsed. THB DANISH JRON-CLAD IN ACTION—HER PBR- FORMANCE, TREATMENT AND REPULSE. [This is probably a seeond repulse, The Rolf Krake was tested and pretty severely bandied in the engage- Ment between the Prussian land batteries at Pekernforde on the 17th of February. She was built at Glasgow, in Scotland: sho is covered with four anda half ingn iron plates, is of twelve bundren tous burthen, draws sixteon feot water, and has two turrets or cupolas, carrying four sixty-eight-pounder guns, Apertures at the top of the towers admit light and alr; mechanival arrangements allow of the ship being lowered until her deck is only a few inchos above the surface. An officer who was on Doard during the action says:—'‘We passed Holnaes without replying to the fire of the battery stationed there, and took up the position which had been designated. Here wo anchored, with our broad- side towards two fixed batteries and one movabie field ttery, which opened upon us & murderons fire with round shot, conical shell and shrapnel. 4 tongne of lave prevented our gecing the bridge we had been ordered to destroy. The enemy tired very well. His fixed vatteries were masked, and it is therefore impossible to say how much damage we did him; but 1 sent a couple of shells at a rifled gun that rained al shot upon us from the heights, and when sheering off bombarded a mill and a houre. We returned to S nderborg, after being envaged anhouranda half. The Rolf Krake stood the trial well. She was hulled sixty six times, each shot beiny of itself sufficient to sink a wooden ship. The towers were hit several times: sixteen shots went through the fnanel, one through tho stermpine, two threngh thesforemast, one throngh the mainmast, two through the mizzen, and from sixty to seventy through the bulwarks, smali oats, sal nd rigging. ‘The deck ts torn up in many places, the tackle much ent, the three boats riddled; every vul- rerable point was hit, and I should like to have seea any part of the deck where a man could have been sta- tioned without certainty of death, We calculated that about five thousand pounds of iron were expended upon us, and you imay suppose that we contributed our share. The noise was deafening, produced as much by our own tire as the missiles of the enemy, whose shells flew about in all directions, One, which buret directly ‘over the tower iu which I was stationed, sent in 1 shower of pieces, which cet fire to two mattresses, damaged my frontispiece, grazed my leg, smasbed my iele-cope, and penetrated a coat lying by my side in half a dozen places, Tam still deaf of one ear from the din—otherwise not mneb hart.

An Underground Railroad for New Yors City—The Undergreund RKatiroads tn London, &e., &oe The rapid increase of the populatioe of the city of New, York, and the consequent expansion of ail kinds of busi- ness, have rendered it imperatively ecessary that now aod improved means of locomotion should be provided for the great mass of poople who dwoll within the limite of the metropolis, or whose aairs may temporarily welug theni hither. Broadway, the great avenue intersecting the city, je now admitted on all bands to be altogether inadequate to the travelling requiremonts of the thousands who day and night trayerse that famous thoroughfare. Many schemes have beeu proposed lor relieving Broad. way of the coustant pressure »pon its space and capacity, such as the arch!vg of the whole length of the etreot for & railroad track, or the carrying of a le of raite over eich sidewalk, and ou. Most of these schemes, on examination, were found to be puroly ehime- rical and insutiicient for the extgevcies of the A plan bas now been proposed which it js yenereily believed will prove a guces and thus be of mauent advad tage to the city, The plao, it is stated, hus already proved a compioie success in the metropolts of Kogland and there ure greater reasons why it should succeed here, seeing that toe peculiar topography uf New York willenable the engineers to make the system more vom- plete bere tham itis ia Loodon. rhe proposition ig eim- ply to copsirnet and establish an“ underground ratiway?? from the Battery to the Central Park, along and beyond the whole line of Broedway. The proposed line of location commences at the Battery and follows Broadway to Thirty, fourth"strect; thence to be continued througa Sixth ave nue to Central Park, givivg a total distance of vbout tive miles, Mr. R. T. Bailey, civil) engineer, has made a survey of the whole ground, and has just reported on the practica- Dility and cost of the eoterpri He says that be has carefully investigated the various engineering questions connected with the proposed work, and considered the details of construction, He thinks that no difficulties, other than those of an ordinary character, are to be ap. prebended at any point except at Canal street, and these may be overcome by the ordinory applisnces m such cases without much delay or extraordinary expense, con sidering the circumstances of the work and the obstacles to be overcome. In concluding his report, which is accompanied by a well defined diagram, Mr. Bailey fays:—“Of the practicability of successfully carrying ont this gr enterprise, at an expense which is reasonable, if we cousider the value’ or importance Of the objects attained, there is not a question or d doubt. It is an enterprise of intemsic merit, a work worthy of this city and the present age, aud wil! conier beneiits commensurate with its cost.” A cou- densed statement of the cetimated cost of the tunnel shows that with excavations, &.,a sum of four million two hundred and sixty thousand doilare will be required to construct a tunnel of sufficient dimensions for two tracks, extending from Rowling Green and the Park. Having given a genera) itlea of the importance of such a work, it is scarcely necessary now to go into any calou- jation as to the probable cost, earnings and protit of the undertaking. These wiil be developed soon enough when ibe idea ie put into actual practice, 4 iu referevee tothe Leadon Main Trunk Undergronce Railway, already referred to, the sebeme is made up of seven railways, with an aggregate length of six wiles, and proposes to establish @ circuit railway on tho eastern side of the metropolis, by connecting the Great Fastern tiway with the Metropolitan Railway Extension to Fins. Dory Circus, and with the London, Chatham aud Dover Rail. way Company's Metropolitan Extension at Blackfriars Lridge and Ludgate Hill, That railway follows the route of what is called the “New Road,” the third in point of importance in London—the Strand being first, and Oxiord atreet and Holborn second. Bat the difference between the New Read and the Oxford street route is very great— the trafic on the latter being more than fourfold the former. Nevertheless, the Metropolitan tive nae turned ovt # great financial success, The confidence of the pub lic, which bad been at zero prior to its opening, rose to evob-a pitch that within one month after the stork went upfrom £8 to £15 a sbare—£10 being par—aud it still golisat a high premium, though tbe line is incomplete. When it js tinished to Vinshury equare. about tive min utes’ watk from the Bank, it ts expected that the receipts will be so increased as to make it the beet paying line in Europe. Jt is gcarcely necessary to toy that tie wines to be used mm theyNew York undergronnd rait- road must coneume their own smoke—a triumph claim to have been gbieved on the London line. The corpora tion of London subscribed £200,000 sterling and the Great Weotern Rajiway Company £175,000 to the Metropolitan Ime. Ip carrying out the plan to full pertection, it is proposed te wien many of the streets of London—a pro coes which would doubtless algo be necessary and with corresponding advautage. Thus tar the English plans have beon mort successful: ly carried out, and the,work is stilt progressing with very sotisfactory reaults, The propos'tion to construct a sirai- ground line in New York, aceording to tbe ac counts and opinions 9f practical evgincers, seems wo be Just as eary of accomplishment, if uot more 0, than ibe London syste It now remains t0 be veen who will be leader tn the actual beginning of #0 grand and go tm portant #6 enterprise, Fine Arts, Thi moruiag, at eleven o'clock, the collection of Mr. Douglas Rrewerton, the artist, ombracing upwards of one hundred off paintings, pastels, peucii sketches, fo. , will be disposed of by auction at Leed's, Nassau street, The opportunity will be @ good one for collectors. ‘The exhibition of the Washington Irving painting at the Derby Gallery is closed for a few days, io order to allow of come siterations in the foom, Due notice will be given of the day of its reopening, The subscriptions to the en. graving of this picture have already reached & very farge sum. ‘ Mr Rolmont will open his gallery to the public from the 4th to the 9th of next month, fur tbe bevefit of the United States Sanitary Commission.
