Mr. J. T.

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.
