But no small number of boys who now receive training in son work, in the briga which are now being established in the rivers and estuaries around our costs, start out straight into the Navy, where their knowledge of seaman-18th inst ship, and their habits of discipline stand them in good stead," and speedily place their foot on the arst rang of the ladder of pro- motion. It is satisfactory to see that some of our best-known senfor naval oneers on the retired Hist Diffusion of Naval Porsa, The concentration of the are taking a kindly interest in the British Fleet in bome waters is movements which equip training brige, and are responsible for the about to be relaxed in two direct formation of brigades of boys, who ions, says the Globe, which will result in re-establishing British are clothed in the well-known naval uniform, and taught the prestige in the Mediterranean and showing the White Ensign in the elements of sea work, and especi western part of the Atlantio, ally signalling and telegraphy.

Berkeley Milne to be accompanied to the western part of biscommand by four battle-oruisors, four large armoured craisers and smaller craft. Later in the year the Fourth Battle Squadron, which is about to loavo for Gibraltar, will join up with the Mediteranean Fleet, thus bringing, for a time, the total number of armoured ships in the Mediterranean to eloven. The strengthening po- licy is also to be applied to the flotilla by the 33-knot destroyers being releieved by the Basilisk group.
.The Kent and the Monmouth.
Coincident with the restoration of British naval strength in the Mediterranean, the British flag will again be established on the western shores of the Atlantic by the arrival of the Fourth Cruizer Squadron at Bermuda. It is mattor for regret that this policy of diffusion of naval forre should be accompanied by the with drawal of the Kent and Mon- month from the China station without substitutes being found therefor. Ten years ago the Obins Squadron consisted of five battle- ships, one armoured and oight protected oruisers and ten sloops; with the withdrawal of the Kent and Monmouth without replace rmont ships, there will be left only two armoured and two second class protected cruisers, six sloops and small craft. The Pacific station has also byɔn considerably weakened in recent years, and the Bugmentation of alrength in the West Atlantio is therefore, it may be hoped, only the thin end of the wedge towards the British flag being down in distant waters ia adequate force.
Nurseries for British Seamen.".
It is distinctly encouraging to' those who have long been engaged in calling the attention of the public to the necessity of manning British seamen, to find so many now agencies coming into existen- os with the object of training boys for a life at sea in our mercantle marine. That the Navy will ultimately profit considerably from the work of such agencies is certain, since even if at first the majority of the boys prefer to give the merchant service a trial, they
