any more risks

that they
regard these risks more seriously than he does, and
are of opinion that when an attacking squadron
than
there
Capt. anchor
had taken up a position to bombard the dockyards
it would be exposed in that position to such a fire
that it must needs be destroyed. We do not see our
way to this consequence. Nobody can tell what Sir
W. Armstrong may hereafter invent in the way of
artillery. It is hard to look even at one of his 100 lb.
bolts and think that a ship's side could resist it,
while, if the weight of the projectile should be
trebled with a velocity undiminished, it may be
fancied that no iron plate could sustain the shock.
It is obvious also to remark that, whereas the
capacities of a floating structure are naturally
limited, there is no such restriction on the weight
either of armour or of ordnance Which a fort
might support. On the other hand, an argument
of peculiar moment is advanced against the forts.
Among the best protections of Spithead are its
shoals. Pilots affirm that with the buoys removed
from the channels and smoke covering the shore
no ships could enter the harbour, whereas the forts
would be standing beacons to mark the way. The
Commissioners fail, in our opinion, to upset this
argument; in fact, although they urge that with-
out such marks an enemy would find his way in by
other means of guidance, they admit that the
absence of such conspicuous objects would compel
him to advance slowly. But this slowness might
be fatal to him. It might make all the difference
between success and failure whether he was a
quarter of an hour or an hour under fire before
taking up his position.
We do not deny that the question has two sides,
but so has the rival question ; and perhaps, if the
alternative was constituted by these two schemes,
Government committed itself to the easier project
by adhering to the plan of the forts. If these
forts would really and efflctually command the
whole anchorage, they would certainly be best. In
the abstract, the balance of arguments is undoubt-
edly in their favour, but in the practical application
to this particular case there is one consideration
telling awkwardly against him. They will not
command the anchorage, nor will they keep out an
ironcased vessel. They may do something,—more,
perhaps, than Captain Coles imagines ; but, from
what we know at present of guns and armour, we
may be pretty sure that a ship like the Warrior
would be able to do an infinite amount of mischief
before she could be crippled by a battery 2,000
yards off.-7imes.

FRACAS BETWEEN 7HE 88Tir AND
ESSEX RIFLES MILITIA.

We regret to learn that disturbances have this
week taken place between soldiers of the 88th
(Connaught Rangers), stationed. at Colchester
Camp, and men of the Essex Rifles Militia, bil-
letted in the town. On Sunday night, it appears,
the disturbance commenced by some men of the
88th catching a solitary and unoffending Essex
rifleman rambling in Darling's-field (now the
Government drill ground), and maltreating him by
striking him on the head with a stick. On Mon-
day night, by way of retaliation, a party of Essex
riflemen, walking upon the Military-road, pounced
upon a solitary 88th man, named Edward M'Hugh,
who had been to post a letter, when the riflemen
struck him on the head with a stick, thereby in-
flicting a severe wound, which bled so profusely,
that the injured man was taken to the camp hos-
pital. The 88th men hereupon vowed'vengeance
against the Essex Rifles for ill-treating their com-
rade, and on Tuesday night the town was com-
pletely in a state of consternation, numerous
gangs of the 88th, armed with large bludgeons,
being seen hurrying to and fro, seeking about in
the lanes and alleys for the riflemen. They en-
tered every public-house supposed to be the billets
of the riflemen, who were for the most part wisely
got out of the way by the landlords, several
of whom locked up their men in stables and upper
rooms to keep them out of the way of
their assailants. In one instance we heard
of a party of the 88th rushing upstairs
to the bedroom of the riflemen, when one of
the latter, seizing his rifle with fixed bayonet, stood
firmly with it at the charge to guard the door, and
threatened the men of the 88th with the" cold
steel" if they dared to enter; the latter, thinking
" discretion the better part of valour," beat a hasty
retreat. One of the 88th threw a stone at a rifle-
man quietly sitting upon the door step of his billet,
the Anchor, Magdalen-street, and cut his head
open. During the fracas the pickets from the
camp were scouring the town in all directions,
while others were posted in different streets, so that
they succeeded either in driving the 88th into
camp, or taking them prisoners. The tradesmen of
St. Botolph-street, the chief thoroughfare to the
camp, were obliged to close their shops earlier than
usual on Tuesday night, to prevent the mischiefht
which appeared imminent. On Wednesday_ night
the 88th were confined to barracks, and thus no
disturbance ensued. We understand the
eanfdraeas punished.hav Various have bevenboruosught before a

88th and Essex Rifles were killed, but beyond the

infliction of sundry ugly cuts and bruises, we are
happy to say no serious consequences are likely to
ensue. It is, however, considered of the utmost
importance, for their own safety, and the preser-
vation of the peace and good order of the town,
that the belligerent forces should be kept as far
removed as possible from each other's company.—

rious and injurious imitations offered under a variety of
false pretences. Nevill's imitations are prohibited by the
high Court of Chancery under a penalty of £5,000 against
Alfred Hooper Nevill and his agents ; and the pretences
