May we remind the members of the local branch of the Navy League that the defences of Hongkong are fully and fairly within the purview of their association, and that it is their duty to call attention to all deficiencies in them? The fleet is practically useless in these days of steam without coaling ports. Vessels can no longer keep the sea for two years at a stretch as in NELSON's time. Is there a vessel in the squadron that could cruise for even a month without recoaling; and if Hongkong were cap- tured or destroyed by an enemy, where could our vessels in these seas run for fuel or for repairs? Neutral ports could not supply them. Is Hongkong safe from sudden attack? We doubt it. If it is not safe, it should be made so, If not for its own sake, for that of the navy for whom Its safety is essential, and the Navy League PORT after removal should be rested a month, or ought to be, as deeply Interested in attended this morning, the fever was at 338 altade ́isken up by the dependencies with
