Address Maiune ItKCOIll) OFFICII. . ____ Itis amusing to llucl Unit the criticisms or the England englneorlnjt,papers, ourselves among the rest, upon thi hovel and com¬ paratively absurd designs put forward by tho Naval Advisory Board of tho United States for tho new cruisers then proposed re bo built have resulted In, llrst, the abandon¬ ment of the employment of beam engines of somewhat similar class to those used on tlioir boat", and, finally, tho whole question appears likely to be shelved by tho refusal of Congress to build tho steamers nt all. Tho criticisms upon tho designs are not con- lliiinltn this side of .the Atlantic only: we seo*tliat the New York Herald has taken up the siibloct, and without probably siilllclont Kciontltlo knowledge to guide their oplnlen In detail. Wu find their criticisms are In¬ finitely more trenchant and scathing than any we have presumed to uso In this country. Thoy go so far as to say that the obvious inferiority of the designs can only bo explained on tho basis that It Is an election job. We do nor think that-thin need, necessarily be the oftse, nor that the designs are not put forward with the very best In. tentlons, and that the whole blame is to be attributed to the want of experience In llllit class of construction whloh the American naval engineers cannot possible have ac¬ quired. The dllrerorco of opinion as to the sea-golng fighting qualities of the vessel M'em also to be widely spread among tho different heads of boards, the constructors, ami naval engineers, of authority; so that C'ongrenB, In tho lace of nil- these opposing opinions, does not see a bettor way opt of ■he dlllloultyNhan to refuse to make ally liirther appropriation for new vessels for the present.
