MONEY 18 INDISPRNRADLE. Money is indispensable; without it nothing can be done. A portion had to be borrowed lately on the per- sonal credit of some of the Senators to fulfil our con- tract for purchase of arms. I suggest that this Congress, if it determines for action, give guarantees that the means required by the Secretary ot War shall be forth- coming in time to meet contracts made on the strength of your promise, While we invite the criticism of men who aro patriotic it is absolutely necessary that we should have ths most decided proofs that those who pro- fess to be with us recognize the binding foree of the con- stitution, and sustain the action taken under it, in order that we may know our actual strength and our capacity for eelf-governinent, NONANTERPERENGR WITH PARTY POLITIOS IN AMERICA EECOM- ‘MENDED.

Certainly Broadway was crowded yesterday. Apart from state occasions, it was frequently ro- marked, that thoroughfare had not been so thronged for some time past; and so General Grant must have found it, Everybody appeared to snize him at a glance; and, in brief, everybody in their impetuosity to got an- other glance at the hero, crowded forward in a manner culculated to impede his progress, while the ladies, in their anxiety to obtain « view of Grant, for the nonce elbowed one another, lees of the display which cr.uoline of much ctrcumferenee would nec ly cause in sudden jostling.

It will be followed by a full report, embracing the ro- sults of ail the trials at the wharf as well as of that on the same, and all the data in extenso. THE OPSTACLES TO THE FULL PRRFORMANOR OF THR RACE. The trial on Long Ialand Sound was tntended to em- Rock Lighthouse and Faulkner's Island Lighthouse, paxy- ing around both. Each double run measured on the vessels’ track was, according to the coast sur- storm, aceompanied by weather so thick ag to pre- vent the lights being seen beyond a mile or two, and the refusal of the pilots to run in it, terminated the trial, 339 geographical miles, and the Algonquin two double runs, or 226 geographical miles, Our data and results aro accordingly for these distances respectively. Both ves- portion ts omitted, beeause the exact position of the vessels could not be etermined whon they decided to anchor.

The machinery of both vessels waa in ex celient order. That of the Algonquin, after the compte. tion of the wharf trials, had been for two months in the hands of the contractor for repairs, d whieb time he bad renewed ail the vertical tubes of the boilers, substituting a new circulating pump, &e., &c, THR INJURING TO THE ALGONQUIN NOT MATERIAL In the course of the trial the feed pump worked by the main engine was inoperative ten and a half hoor, dur ing which time the botlers were supplied by the auxili«ry steam pump; as, however, this pump draws the feod water from the ‘hot wail, ‘its substitation in no way af- fected the performance of the machinory. The cownter balance of the eccentric broke at the commencement of the trial, but its fracture was notof Che least Importance: Apaddlé on one of the wheels was also broken; but it took place on the return of the vessel to port, and not during the trial.

THM APPLICATION OF TH BLOWERS. On board the Algonquin the biower was used; bat as it delivered the blaet Into au open fire room its elliciency must have been very small. The stear jet in the smoke pipe was in use, ant, with a boiler pressure of 6% pounds per square inch above the aumospbere, waa doubtiess very cfficient in forcing the draft, On board the Winooski the blowers were not used They are two in number, driven by an independent steam cylinder, agi dolivered their blast luto the axshpits of the boilers, whieh are elosed by war tight doors, when em- ployed an enormous rate of combustion oan be ob- iatned, and a supply of steam much exceeding that uxed daring the trial, A steam jet (a duplicate of that of the Algonquin) in the smokephpe was ¢ ed during trial, with @ boiler pressure of 38 pounds per square inch above the alimospbere. ™e vacrum ‘The inachinery of both vessels was fated with surface oudensers, and neither was obliged to “blow off ' dar ing the trial, The vacuom in the Algonquin's condenser the Winooski; but as ® resulted and Bot from spondingly high temperature of feed water, which, te 4 great extent, compensated this disadvantage. THE DRAFT OF WATER. At the commencement of the trial the Algonquin’s ht of water was 6 feet 5 inches forward aud aft, and the Winooski's draught was 5 feot 10 inches forward, 5 feet 8 inches aft. The difference of 4 inches in the mean dranght Was au allowance melo for the deerer fale: kool of the latter vewel; both vowels beim presutaed to be in other respects identical, ax they were constructed (rom the same building directions and mould loft dimensions.
