A suficient number of infuential zames have already been given to this proposal to encourage the belief that it will be carried into effect, though the precise details have not been decided upon.
The following article from The Times gives op count of the new arnieer referred to, de- signed by Mr. Poarce:
Lord Granville had to undergo an exceptional trial the other day at a court he attended at Windsor. As though it were not enough that he had to presont Juhio Kowass Masataka and Jahie Mori Arinori, the two Japaneas Envoys, ho had then, without any interval for reïresa. ments, to announce to bar Majesty the presence of Monsieur Tohéicmille Mijatovich, the Envoy Extraordinary of the King of Scrria.

The tenders have reference to six ercitara of a type similar to the Seont, at prasent being built by Messrs. J. and G. Thonon, at Clyde Bank, and they are expected to be sent in on or bofore February 21.

A practical turn Las been given to the riticism on the Navy by the aubmission to the Admiralty of a design for a bachette súisor, the chief attributes of which are great spood, powerful guns, long stemning power, and an ml buoyancy. The designer is Mr. Ecores, of Fairfield shipbuilding yard, and although the vessel in a novelty when compared with the war ships of the present day it is in reality nothing more than a development of the fast American liners and an adaptation of their hull and machinery to the express purpose in view. The essence of the design lies in the spood. nail it is concerting this quality that the designer can speak with authority. It has aufer Mr. H. H.
