AND INDIA. not require armour, would simply be to carry so much dead weight adding to the displacement without increasing the actual Alghting power. The Agamemnon is an ex- porimont in the way of reducing the size (and consequently the weight) of ironclads without reducing their power. According Lo Sir E. J. BGED the experiment is a failure. The papara by the next mail will no doubt coutain replies to his letter by the cham- pions on the other side, who will probably take up the argument put into their mouths by the Pall Mall Gasette, that you can always keep a ship afloat and "Aghtable" by water- tight compartments and a abolring deck, and that when projectiles can be hurled through 19 inches of armour it is a waste of scanty re- sources to squander any of the available dia placement in armouring the non-vital por tious of the ship."
