The Times' Ottawa (Ontario) special say&: Some mistake appears to have been made in thq announcement that the British government are sendimr out a number of eisrhtv- ton guns for the coast defense of b-qtjiraalt and' victoria, beveral sixty-four pounders have been sent out from England, not for the armament of forts, but to be placed either on board of British ship'; of war belonging to the Pacific squad ron, to go into the naval reserves. Some time ago tho British minis tor of war made application to the Canadian Pacific railway folks to knmv if thev could tr,mrort. nnf or more eighty-ton guns over their road. An estimate of the cost w;;s given, with a model of tho car which it was intended to use if the shij ment were made. Since ihen nothing has tyoen heard of the eg!ity-ton gun. The officer in charge of the British Columbii dis trict do.-a not speak very favoiahly ot the couditioir if the a-mtmeut at that point. The guns, he re. ports, are few. with rotten timbers dnd curriuged, while the gum art) without sights. The batteries at Victoria and Esquimault, ihe of ficer sas. arefin a rfi-creditable condition.
