For England's Navy.

LONDON, March I'm the commons
to-day Lord George Hamilton, first lord
of the admiralty, stated the government
proposed to build eight first-class men Of
war of IA, 200 tons each and two of 20, 600
tons, nine first-class cruisers, twenty nine
small cruisers, four of the Pandora type
of cruisers, and seventeen of the sharp
shot type of torpedo vessels. The total
tonnage of all these vessels will be 3l9, 900
and the total cost e2l 500, 900.
Lord George Hamilton asked that fIO,-
600, 900 be appropriated from the ~consoli
dated fund Tor the proposed increase of
the navy and that the remainder of the
amount required be provided for in the
ordinary estimates. He promised the
admiralty programme would be executed
within four and a half years.
Hamilton said fbI0, 600, 900 of the work
would be put out at a private contract,
while the remainder would be done in
tie government dock yards. The scheme
must stand or fall as a whole, therefore he
hoped the opposition would treat the pro-
posals in a patriotic spirit.
Lord Charles Beresford complained that
the government gave no reason why Just
so many ships mo more and no less)
should be built. He gave notice of amend
mnet declaring England's naval strength
ought to be equal to the navies of France
and any other great powers combined.
The Radicals will oppose every stage of
legislation connected with Lord George
Hamllton's scheme. 1t is expected that
Gladstone will lead the opposition attack
on the government.

There are few persons who are not

who know the wrong, but will not

pairing the mischief they have
wrought or undoing the wrong they
have done.
Strictly speaking. the wIeng act
done can never be undone the wrong
word said can never be unsaid; but
no man who has been guilty of wrong
should rest satisfied until he has done
his utmost to make suitable repara-
ton.
If he has wronged his neighbor pc.
cuniarily. let him make restitution,
not in scrimped and scaniy measure,
but literally, heartily and ungrudg-
ingly. Let him restore fourfold- IL

promptly and openly recall them.
Let his apologies be as distinct and

Let him in manly and christian
way, so far as 10 him lies, remove all
occasion OF grievance. Let him see
10 IL that the false impressions he
has given be corrected, tba. the sIau-
ders he has uttered be recalled.
Thus, and thus only, can he win back
the love ho has forfeited, and hope
to receive the blessing Of tho l. ord
whom he he's offended.
