THE MIMIC SEA FIGHT.  CLOSE OF THE WAR.  The naval manoeuvres closed at noon on Monday. at which hour warlike operations around our ooast ceased. It was expected that a datth would be made for Swansea and Cardiff on Sunday, and one of the enemy's cruisers was seen hovering about the mouth of the channel, and, we believe. actually captured Bt. Ann's Head. The guard at the Worms Head was therefore especially vigilant, but nothing of the enemy was seen off the Gower coasts. The manoeuvres are to be an annual affair in future, and what we would suggest in briefly that the naval mancruvres of 1889, instead of being conficed to the fleets and controlled by the Admiralty, should be extended PO as to in^lude the army, navy, and volunteers, and to &third the services and the public) a fair , experimental illustration of our liability to attack. Suppose, for instance, that Admiral Tryon is placed in command of a fleet representing the normal fighting strength of the French navy, furnished with nuflicient transports and troops to furnish landing pianism, and ordered to treat England as if he were the commander of a new Armada. On the other side let us make Lord Wolseley Cot mander-inchief of the army of national defence and let him co-operate by land with the Admiral in command of all that was left of the English navy after it had furnished forth Admiral Tryon's fleet. It would be Lord Wolse'ey's duty to put every vulnerable point in an adaquate pornue of defence, to see to it that all available troops, militia, and volunteer were ready to rally at any port., threatened by the enemy to beat off the attack, and that all our forte along the coast were furnished with guns and ammunition. Both sides should have eix months' notice: rules should be drawn up governing•the conduct of both sides under specified contingencies' and everything should be done in laying submarine mines and equipping Ipeal craft for defensive purposes which would be done in real war. Obviously manoeuvres conducted under these conditions would have far better results and would afford , a far more instructive object loeson as to what would happenin war than such manoeuvring of fleets as has taken plaoo this year.
