The st cength Of Gibraltcr.

Gibraltar, for more than one hun.
ared and seventy years. has been in a
condition to defy any attack from any
quarter. Ii is mass Of solid gray
marble, connected with the southern
extremity of Spanish AndaIusia by a
narrow peninsula, which is entirely
commanded hy the fortress. The rock
at its highest point l ,439 feet above
the level Of the sea is completely
honeycombed with batteries, bomb
proof, and every spic;es OF defensive
contrivance. Cannon of the largest
calibsr frown along its face, steep es-
earps bar all paths up the almost per
peadicular ascent, immense cisterns
and magazines furnish abundant sup
plies of water and ammunition, and
there is always a sufficient stock Of
provisions to last three years. The
ordinary garrison consists Of about
5000 infantry, 1000 artillery and q
picked corps of engineers; and in case
Of emergency there arc accommodations
for double this force. The last and
most memorable seige Gibraltar has
endured begun in June, 1879, and
ended in February, 1888. The com.
bined armies aud fleets Of France and
Spain pounded the impreguable walls
in vain for three years and eight
mouths, and then gave up the hopeless
task. The British lost 333 killed, 536
from disease, 4S from desertion, and
the wounded numbered 1.O008. The
casualties on the other side are not
known. Since then there has been
no attempt to rob England Of her
