ENGLAND.-The London Times calls
attention to the immense increase in the
American navy, and says that nobody can
refuse the Federals the credit of constancy,
in fighting out in spite Of their defeats and
discouragements, the game in which they
are engaged-a game which everybody
sees must be a losing one. Il then dis
sects the naval efforts which have been
made, and says that, upon the whole, the
new Federal navy has been designed with
SO peculiar and exceptionable an object
that it is hardly safe to draw from it any
general lessons or example. The North
erners wanted fleet, not to encounter the
fleet Of the enemy, but to take on the in
slant, and keep possession OF, an uncon-
tested sea. They required gunboats for
the navigation of the rivers, and fotillas to
cooperate with their armies These ne
cessities Of their position they not only dis
cerned, but accepted without an hours de-
lay, and the result has certainly done them
credit, as it has indeed done them service.
Measured, however, by the European
standards. their squadrons can hardly be
regarded as effective, unless we are to pre-
sumo that other nations have expended
upon their navies large amount of super
tluous pains. We can do in twelve months
not only what the Americans have done,
but five times as much. BY pressing into
the service every species Of craft, and set
ting every building yard to work without
stint or scrutiny, we could very soon null
tiply, by very considerable figure, the
number of ships we have in commission,
but their quality would remain very much
the same as they are at present.
Prot. Carnes has been lecturing at Dub
lin on the present American revolution!
He holds that the success of the North
means if not immediate emancipation, at
least the immediate arrest and ultimate
extinction of slavery, while the success of
the South means the establishment of sla-
very on a broader and firmer basis. The
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland was present,
and moved vote of thanks to the lecture
er. He deeply deplored the civil war rag
ing in America, and Endorsed the neutrali-
ty of the British Government
The celebrated debating club of the
Cambridge University, the Union, had
been engaged for two evenings in discuss
ing the American question. The question
as put was in effect as follows 81 !
Resolred, That the cause of the North was
the cause of human progress. u, 1i' cH enl
The proposition was negatived by vote
Of III to SO. 1t was noticed that the eld-
est son of Earl Russell spoke against the
proposition, p nH1F l'"an'o
Mr.. Bentinck, member of Parliament,
in speech at public banquet, had de-
nounced the American democracy and the
Northern States as its opponents. oy
Earl Russell, in reply to the City of
London Garibaldi Committee, had stated
that the only means he could properly use
to obtain the withdrawal of the French
troops from Rome, consisted in making
friendly representations to the government
of the French emperor, he added that such
representations had not been wanting on
the part of the British government, and
that similar representations should be
made whenever necessary. .a. . Il.
