perfect, the present defences of the Colony leave good deal to be desired, the existing garrison is much too scanty, and more cornede bouts ought. to bo sent out without Coley. There is, it seems, been criminal apathy on the part of the Imperial Government; but the publio know that the Governor bas persistently pooh-pooled ony increase in the number of torpedo-bonts. And yes we are told it is unfair to with- hold credit to the Gorernor, and a pity to raise an unjustifiable score? Last week we were told that three more regiments and two butteries of Artillery were to be sent to this Colony. Since, this has been forcibly described as a mere blind, there is a leagthy cxcuse die week ohout the extreme difficulty of obtaining barrack accentodation for so largo an increase to the garrison. Is it not too much for strowd residents of this Colony, to have weak words of this description to back a ohirgo like that ride against them? The astonishing: part of it all is, that a seveille journalist should allow this sort of thing to appear in large type. The remarks about the direct telegraphic line to Singapore are fair enough, although it night also be stated that, although the General is in favour of such a step and strongly re commended it to the Home Govern ment, the Governor has not given any definite support to the suggestion. To wards the close of to-day's article, the
