The following particulata concerning this powerful and formidable addition to our fact, which was launebel at Chatham on the ?tü'alt., by the Princess of Wides, are taken from The Swedon, Norway, and Denmark declared singly and jointly neutral, like Belgion, and Tones:The legandre has been under con- Sitzerland, espacially with a view to a struction for nearly three years, and represente Perisaian war, which is her believed to be. in ber design, what, to soms professional suroidable sooner or later, If King Osr thariltas, my seem a retrograde polity in abip should suuceed fa carrying on this programme, building.

Mr. Gaschen explained to and I am only speaking the strict trath when I the House of Commons, when he announced onto that in Danish ciroles there, is a fooling bia intention to proceed with the con

Not only of othere not only in Madrid but in the pro- were mural officers doubtful of the general vises; and the Government bas announced its admolayca of mastless turret sips, and conrestation to exile all proźnóra who protest victed of the necessity and value of sea-going iranolude with high freeboards and broadside armaments, but professional constructore were forced to admit, at last, that, as a matter of expediency, it was better to bave different types of vessels for different purposes, instead of en dearnaring to quatruct some ideal Teasle which should be the best for all conceivable par- poses, and then getting the Admiralty to abide by the one class. Thus, for the last four yearsing the ambition of the cat narrow-minded controversy on shipbuilding has been dead, and the Admiralty have been employed steadily and quielly in constructing both ironuled and wooden vessels of all types which have hitherto been considered valuable. It is due to the Committee of Designs, who made their raport in 1879, to say that they did their best to strike a blow at yubpary construction, and the Alesandre once her existence to do cause more than to the pasinge where the Committos express the opi. nion that perfect ship is a desideratum wak hue never get been obtained, and is now further than ever removed from ourraidh. Any ear approach to perfection in one direction incritably bringa with it disadvantage in an- other." So it was, therefore decidal that vesels for coast-defence, for samming, and for aes service were to be constracted.on diferent plinciples, and that each class was to be refer- red to a distinct type of vessel. So the Densla. tin, Hercules and Rupert bare become respec tivdy types of the casat defence, seagoing, ad York ramming voarela,
