command of the Channel, our defending fleet. paralysed by the capture of its eyes the cruiser and destroyer squadrons, and the South Coast in hourly expectation of invasion. There is a 'concensus of opinion as to the skill shown by Admiral Wilson in his conduct of the "war" Not only has he, on every occasion, out- manceuvred his opponents, but his intelligent anticipation of their movements had been from. first to last, so remarkable, that disconsolate B. Fleet is reduced to supposing that in some way he was actually made aware of the plan of defence. Undoubtedly in such mimic warfare the attacking side has an advantage, for to equal familiarity with the waters, the enemy's commander adds conversance with the general strategic ideas for the protection of the country, which obtain "at the Admiralty, and has there- fore, foundation for his assumption of British movements. Grauting all this, however, the failure of the defending fleet to retain, even for a few days, the command of the Channel is disconcerting, and taken in conjunction with the joyous bark of the French papers, that "it is now indisputably established, that England can be easily invaded, and her navy defeated in detail," points a very clear moral, upon which the more thoughtful journals are already dwelling. It is no new thing, this cry for an increase in the navy, and specially in its materich... No fewer than ten of our battleships carry muzzle-loading guns, discarded by every other Power in the world, except Italy, which retains on her active list one ship so armed- and these ten though included in all Admiralty calculations ought to be entirely ignored-they would speedily be sunk or put out of action, by farsmaller foreign vessels provided with modern artillery, Even out of our meagre supply of len do st defence ships, seven are partially armed (ric; with muzzle-loaders. The lethargy of holiday-taking is on the public at large, that public which sleeps in the sure confidence that our fleet at least is invincible, however inefficient the Army-and as yet there has been no outery over the inadequacy of our naval protection as revealed by the maneuvres, nevertheless a deep impression has been made, of which inore will be heard anon.
