The two points on which the Admiralty now seem to rely-for they seem to have given up their old contention that their great god stra tegy would not allow them to build anywhere but in the middle of our principal thoroughfares -are the want of other dock accommodation and the cost of changing the site now the work has been begur. But the first objection is met by the existing docks, and that now in course of construction by a private firm, and the second does not exist, for the value of the present site on Queen's Road is enormous, and it is ridiculous that it should be wasted on such a purpose when there is so much cheap land available outside the town.
