imber, cased in iron; but they are adapted to great speed.--The main advantage we seek to secure in these is not so much impregnability as perfection in other qualities — great mobility and stability under pressure, an immense stowage, ample fighting room, an unyielding platform for the guns, and such construction as must secure the completest 'handiness' in action. "Notwithstanding the surprising transformation in naval architecture, superinduced by your war, and suggested by the late Russian war, the Surveyor of the British Admiralty still declares that until it shall have been satisfactorily ascertained that the great length which is necessary to high speed under steam alone does not materially interfere with the ready performance of the evolutions which may be required of men-of-war under any circumstances, it would not be prudent to depart otherwise than gradually, and after sufficient experience, from the dimensions and forms of the ships which have been found to possess ev
adually, and after sufficient experience, from the dimensions and forms of the ships which have been found to possess every good property. This has been tested in every recent instance of a new vessel, and has led to the adoption of a system which the Lords of the Admiralty do not choose to disclose, but of which our naval proficient speak with proud confidence." The writer gives the following reasons for going into these naval particulars:-- "Because the extraordinary naval energy of England, just now at peace, is very significant; because the Naval and Military Gazette, a semi-official paper, has lately been taking great pains to hold the naval pretensions of the Federals up to ridicule; because the North American squadrons are being changed, and all the less-trusted vessels are being sent to do duty far from the American coast; because the Federals show they expect 'something,' and, on the principle that 'whom the gods would destroy they first make mad,' they are irritating u
England does not treat the United States with that respect which is due to youth from old age. The immense naval armaments of Brother Jonathan do not excite that astonishment and consternation in the Old World which he had a right to expect. They have the effrontery in England to be amused with the bravado of the Federals because they have seven hundred ships-of-war, mounting nearly five thousand guns. A private letter from London, published in the Enquirer, says that, "setting aside the improvements already made in gunnery, machinery, or structure — and they are more considerable than is talked about; setting aside what is now being done in that way — and it is much more than is generally known; we (the English) have at this instant a navy consisting of sixteen ships, of one hundred guns and upwards, averaging, collectively, one thousand eight hundred and twenty guns, and engines of 11,200 horse power; we have twenty-seven ships, carrying ninety or ninety-one guns each, mount

h American squadrons are being changed, and all the less-trusted vessels are being sent to do duty far from the American coast; because the Federals show they expect 'something,' and, on the principle that 'whom the gods would destroy they first make mad,' they are irritating us and thwarting France to precipitate that "something"; because, in a naval war against France and England, or either, they could, at present, make only a short, and it would be a spirited, resistance; because where the Federals think themselves strongest they are weakest, and where they think they are acting most wisely they are acting most foolishly; because--'coming events cast their shadows.' If any one of these 'because' suggests nothing to you of itself, at least the facts I give you are not worthless in themselves." In addition to these facts, the fortifications proceeding in Canada have their significance. The United States must not expect either England or France to fall an easy prey to their designs.

England does not treat the United States with that respect which is due to youth from old age. The immense naval armaments of Brother Jonathan do not excite that astonishment and consternation 'Marry, come on, ' like the clown in the circus. They admit that all the navy-yards in the United States combined would not offer as many facilities for the construction of war vessels as the least point that any of our misgivings, as a people, are centred." These are facts which the United States will do well to digest before it bursts its breeches in the conceit of naval supremacy. Neif naval operations in America, nor deaf to the boastful shouts which have been set up in the United States of what they intend to do. Whilst all this absurd uproar has been going on in America, the Fves." In addition to these facts, the fortifications proceeding in Canada have their significance.
