In the issue the HERALD Of the 10th instant your

resume on national Notifications, and attention
called to the weakness OF sea-coast and harbor

is also claimed by many other papers, are totally
unsuited for the service required Of them in the
event Of war with first class foreign naval Power.
1t Is repeatedly urged moreover, that, As great
nation, we are utterly unprepared, should dden
emergency arise, TO protect our own seaboard from
the assaults OF hostile neet OF heavy sea-eoing
trOn-clads. Aud attention Is also called TO the fact
that our stone 1ortincatl0ns and enormous fifteen
aud twenty-Inch smooth bore guns and twelvench
rlned ordnance could not repel an enemy attacking
from the seward or prevent his neet nom running
