Whitmore hod a sketch plan spread ■ia front of him, and addressing the officers, b commenced with eaying that tho lesson . tughlby the sham fight, so far as the North Shore portion of it was con cerned,'was not abstractly considered .tf general importance, as only a portion of the forces was thero en {iged, The result of greatest utility— Blade of the sham ti^ht business—in what "H.-done on Monday, was that of •"wing. that we had sub ■ marine j Spl—<W herenot only properly organised, ■rtelwwitb the proper people to direct Wjork them. Sub-marine preparations ■ »—ly harbours had proved to be W ttunres. Those at Calcutta were •;'■*».«* point. The Viceroy and a SfeWpSiw of the native rajahs and wtonaries attended on a recent, occasion "Witness submarine operations there, but to tames declined absolutely to go off. ■roMily if this harbour wero run into by 'hostile cruiser—Russian or otberwieo — wenemy would rely upon the want of *w of our people in the use of the submarine '•lM(!e«,and therefore our success would Pwr depend upon proficiency in that With regard to what i Wnone at the North Shore onJMonday, he J»«ceed_gly well satisfied. Theperma- had mad 6 progress beyond the *«,- had anticipated, and tho state "raoency into which Major Boddam had . ■•«« tbß Torpedo Corps, under Lieut. JW, was very creditable indeed, while ■■Sv'-W ia which Captain Fair 'W^threw himself into the spirit Whfag made this part of tho opera- WMWghly successful by imparting to it a •'•»■« realistic appearance. If onother •■J*:- »ght: were, to take place .he J™" 1 te inclined to alter the tactics to sVextent. Devonport was so highly "™»We that he could not understand at landing there. Still he "wjtood that the captain cf a German »*'WM lately here had said that he .■%&& inclined, if sent to take the place, E3\,1 wr Mt Hurst's property—about A small force posted at M_r* now Neclc would malte of this 2?J" writable Thermopylae where 300 ■jJ™«»wo_d hold a largo force in chock. ifgfflaftt they might get up a littlo S Jg« over thero.

Still, an »(_«? rco would hard'yland at 'ho fc?7i»i would thore be any uso of m _m.B Tamaki unless thoy wero pro %«*_?t a- Pontoon P'aat, cooing that in Ll 0™ have to pass that Thermopylae of i^S 8 L near Otahuhu.

way, and it might have produced a feeling of great unpleasantness. If theofficers werenot themselves obedient to ordera, they could not expect their men to display a spirit of obedience. However, this was only a technical disobedience, and yet it deserved to be pointed out so that no encourage , ment might be given to insubordination in the ranks. Coming to the professional part of the thing, it waa the worat possible plan to divide one's forces, es • pecially when they were small, as was the . case. He had never done it himself when engaged with troops in this colony, and he never allowed it to be taught. Any com bined movement of the kind waa a source of weakness, nlthough, when officers succeeded in it, it was a feather in thoir cap.. Ho never did understand what was the object in sending these few mon to at. Holier s, for in the ordinary course thoy must have been put out of action.—Capt. w L ?° nald : They were annihilated.—Col. Whitinore said it was quite absurd that men could pass across a long bridge, as they did, undor a withering fire from the infantry, as none of them would have been left alivo. The error of the attack was the division of the forces into three, which ought never to have been done. He felt bound to say, however, that the Navals deserved exceptional praise for the way in which thoy conducted them selves under the disadvantage of the mode of landing. After remarking that troops should never hesitate in tackling obstacles as they found them, without waiting to take off shoes and stockings. Colonel Whitmore said that the Navals did not require any teaching in that re spect, lor they had the proper spirit, and they showed it. He came now to Col. Lyon's share of the operations, and ho must say at once that he did not regard his share of tho proceedings with unmixed satisfaction. St. John's College waa the proper strategical point in tho theatre of war, and it was his plan to havo concen trated his forces there, and to havo held it. He had no fault to find with the manner in which it was takon up, etill it was clearly understood thnt a landing was taking placo somewhere, and tho troopa might very probably have brought up in considerable force in order to resist it. He should havo moved forward with a recon naisance in forco comprising tho cavalry and a couplo of guns. Afterwards thoy could have boon withdrawn into tho open spaco on the rising ground abovo the bay, whore thoy could havo been thrown into square. For sonio reason, however, tho various companies remained on tho defen sive over a large aroa of ground instoad of gotting into strength with tho cavalry. In reconnoitring and patrolling opera tions, they would havo to bo more oxactit in future. Tho scotitß re tired too precipitately,. and in con sequence the reports thoy brought in woro conflicting, and frequently contradictory. Had he been in command, he should havo moved off with two squadrons of cavalry and two horeo guns, and their seventy or eighty men could easily have been taken prisoners as they camo off. Acting as Colonel Lyon did, it was quite possible for tho Navals to havo crept round his flank, and got past him, Tho way in which tho " Navals moved forward was very brilliant and very good. Col. Whitmore wont on to find fault with tbe^ Cavalry for their want of unity of action, each trooper seeming to rely upon his own judgment, and frequently gotting amongst the enemy. As tho troops wero handled at St. Helier's it was quite possible for the companios to have been taken prisoners in detail. He went on to give praise to Captains Daveny and Darga villo for tho assistance thoy had rendered as umpires. He then proceeded to impress upon tho officers the importance of having absolute obedience from their men if they wished to provent sham fights develop ing into something like larrikinism. Men wore apt to loso thoir heads, as a few did en Monday, for be heard some shout 'Charge bayonet, j That kind of thing was much to be depre cated. Speaking generally, ho waa quite cortain that Monday's Bham light was the best turn out of tho Volunteers he had ever had in the colonies. Tho men as a wholo showed an absolute disregard of thoir per sonal comfort during that long and tiring day that was vory creditable, and indoed could not bo exceeded anywhere. Some of them were singing cheorily while wot to the tone. After ad vising an inspection of arms, Colonol Whitmore concluded by announcing that ho had secured the Defence Minister's approval to the appointmont of Cap tains Dignan, Mahon, and Isaacs as Majors of tho Auckland Volunteer Battalion, and to tho promotion of Captain Hamlin of Waiuku as brevot Major of tho Cavalry, no higher rank boing possible on account of the smallness of the forco. Tho officers then separated.

The Immigration Otlicer (Mr O. Mays) has received information from London to the effect that tho next batch of immigrants for the colonies will bo despatched oarly in November.
