ALD N_O_T IONS. LORD CHARLES BEUESFORD ON' THE WAR TRACK. Lord Charles Boresford, M.P., a namo that is still familiar from its association with some of the most stirring incldonta connected with tho bombardinont ol Aloxandna in ono ol Great Britain's "littlo wars" of later date, has galvanised some life into tho bones of that partially fossilised department known as the ''Admiralty." Ho has given notice of a motion that all vessels ol an obsolete. type shall bo sold, brofcon up, or blown up, but in no case repaired. At first sight this appears in tho light of a terrific sacrifice of valuablo property, whoroas it is in reality only tho choice between two ovlla and tho grasp of tho smaller of tho two. Tho ports and dockyards of tho United Kingdom aro full of vessels which but a fow years ago wore the prido of tho nation, and roprosontativo of tho highest typos of naval architecture. Thoy aro still now, sound, and seaworthy ships, but they aro laid up in ordinary . becauso thoy are obsolete and uttorly unfit to cope with tho later developments of .marine sofonco which aro almost daily taking thoir places under tho flags of other Powers. Shipn of the Duko of Wellington, Royal Albert, and St. Jean d'Acro class, which thirty years ago represented worthily tho magnificent naval power of England, aro now rotting at their moorings in Portsmouth harbor or the. Hamoaze in charge of a caretaker, and their places aro taken by tho later types of Dovastations, Thunderers, Nelsons, and similar iron-clad monsters, which aro constructed to offer at least some show of rcslstanco to modern artillery. And ns tliq destructive poworsof modorn artillery aro increased, so it becomes nocoasary to meet tho ohango wita an improved system of shipbuilding, and It is to this point that Lord Charles Boresfords motion is directed. Ho doprccatcs tho out ragcous waste of monoy expended onthp m version of old stylo ships into now. Ho holds tho opinion, with which all sonsiblo mon will agreo, that in this game of war, as in other things, " Tho first loss is tho best." Ho, thoroforo, advocates the salo of these Bhips, or ovon thoir destruction, rather than thoy should bo maintained as a source of constant caro, and as an incentive to tho gratification of some flrst-class fad on the part of any Individual fossil member of tho Board, or tho Board as a whole. Many ships of tho class to which Lord Borosford's motion appliosaro ovon nowooing altered and patched -.up in this ridiculous fashion, notably tho Tourmaline, ono of tho ships which accompanied tho Royal Princes to Australia; and the gunboat Condor, on which Lord Boresford 'distinguished himself at Alexandria. His motion may not, and probably'will not, bo carried just now, for It is scarcely Hkoly that tho timo is yot npo for such a wholesale breach in tho oonsorvativo traditions of tho Admiralty, but it is coming with tho othor "good timos" immortalised and promlsod by Russell long ago in tho song. Whon it docs como a number of othor old notions will havo to go in company with tno old warships. Sovonty-fl vo por tfont. of tho quack nostrums thatmako tho world so rough a placo to live in will go at tho same timo, and tho balance shortly aftor. Tho great pain conqueror, St. Jacobs' Oil, which is now ncknowledgod by countless myriads of gratoful hearts ns tho best curative agont, and tho most roliablo comforter known, will thon occupy tho position of solo allavintor of human suftbr/iif?; beyond comparison, and without a rival.
