question of the possibility of landing such a force as could strike a blow fatal to English liberty I can only agree with him when we possess such a fleet as he assigns to us. That confidence in our silver streak, which was once a true creed, has become but a superstition. That naval supremacy upon which it depended is no longer ours: there remains but magni nominis umbra.

DUNSANY.

NOTE.

I take this opportunity of rectifying an error in my article 'The Silver Streak' of May last. The brilliant feat attributed there to another distinguished officer was really performed by the present Vice-Admiral Sir William Mends, K.C.B., then in command of the Arethusa. After the episode in question, the gallant officer, as his frigate passed between the lines of the Allied fleets, received the hearty cheers of both, and-what is more unusual for a British seaman--the accolades' of his French colleagues.
