THE NEW ENGINES OF WAR.-The Brazilian Times contains official re? ports of the success of the Brazilian iron-olads in passing the fortress of Humaitn, which is said to have no equal in sizo and position in the United States. This stronghold, it appears, had 200 heavy guns in barbette, most of them of approved modern pattern, and was besides sustained by four other heavy for? tresses, and commanded the narrow? est channel of the Paraguay Hiver for a hundred miles. Torpedoes had also been laid in the channel, but it was believed that these had been disabled or carried off by a great rise in the river. The Brazilian monitor fleet oonsisted of the Bahia, four 150 pound rifles in two turrets; Bun oro, four guns in casemates; Ta mau dur a, four guns in casemates, and three others, each having one seventy pound rifle in turret. These adventurous vessels were exposed, in a narrow channel, to tho fire of eighty cannon at short range, the majority of which were 68-pounders, and two or three 150-ponnders. The result will be received in naval circles as comflrma tory of the excellence of the monitor system among iron-olads. It appears that the Emperor of Brazil availed himself at tho outset of the war of American experience in monitor ves? sels, the Brazilian Ministerin Wash? ington having sent him completo specifications of our own vessels of that kind, though they wero built at Bio Janeiro and in Englaud. If floating fortresses, as recent events wonld seem to demonstrate, can be made superior to permanent ones, it is not unlikely that, in time, the whole system of coast defences will bo revolutionized, antliron-clads bo relied on for defence os well as attack. The Brazilians and Paraguayans have shown as great determination and endurance in, their protracted war as auy people in the world. Tho Paraguayans, in particular, tho weak? er party, have borne up agaiust tre? mendous odds with a heroism and perseverance which have excited tho admiration of mankind; and'which, whether they aro overpowered or not, will give them a lusting rcuown. Evou tho successful passage of Humait a by tho Brazilian fleet does not seem, if tho latest intelligence is to be credited, to have put au end to their reeietuiii ?-. ?he ?&ble de? spatches, of Wednesday, announced that Paraguay had brought the ullied powers to a defensive position.
