Iroaelaas Narrowly Zseape Baaaiag Agreaad Wails Dedfiag Torpedo Boats. An unpleasant surprise haa been created at Berlin by the naval cor respondents of the "Kreua-Zeltunr" and other conservative newspapers, as well as the correspondent of the "Deutsche Zeitung Rundschau," re porting the naval . maneuvers near Dantzlg during the past fortnight.

On Tuesday last, off the Port of Bela, one Ironclad division nar rowly escaped running aground while maneuvering to es.-ape torpedo-boats. The correspondents, who are them selves naval men, and who were on board the vessels engaged In the man euvers, attribute this lack of skill to the want of modern equipments on the German ships.
