any post to maintain, such as an arsenal or a dockyard,
they would think it so much gain to find good works pro-
vided for them. Such works may require an army to man
them against a regular siege, but a few untrained men may
be able to hold them against a surprise. Scientific men, of
course, take a high standard. It is their duty to suppose
the worst from the enemy, and demand the most from their
own country. But a handful of men may be sufficient to
hold a post for a few hours, and they will do so all the better
for well-constructed works, Mr. Bright, however, has hovered
all round the coast, flitted from harbour to harbour, skim-
med the seas, and soared over the land ; he has dene every-
thing ; he has attended to everything and everybody, ex-
cepting only the proposals before the house. Except to say
that the winds would always protect in Dover the ships
that had fled there for refuge, and that Portsmouth could
be successfully bombarded from the distance of six miles,
Mr. Bright has really taken no notice of the report. He
has expressed no opinion of the existing fortifications at
Portsmouth, unless they are comprehended in the general
censure he passes upon these and all other methods of war-
fare. Such a declamation can have no aim that we can
imagine, and it haci last night no other effect than to carry
the resolution by a majority of seven to oxe.—Tinies.
