CRITICISM OF COLONIAL DEFENCES.
I UNITED PBESS ASSOCIATION. I London, IGth September. Bear-Admiral Colomb, in a letter to The Times, says that New South Wales is spending money to prevont an attack but assumes that a mode of attack will bo used which an enemy in superior force would not dream of adopting. If attacks by sea are possible, the roal defence, he points out, should be like that employed at Cronstadt, Toulon, and Vladivostoek. He also argues that if an enemy is to make a raid in a payable form, he would march into Sydney via, the back garden, not by the hall door.
