A SERIOUS MISTAKE. Received September 19, 5.5 p.m. LONDON, September!B. A Berlin correspondent states that owing to a mistake in calculating the displacement of the Westfalen (Germany's first Dreadnought) it was unable to sail down the Weser to the North Sea, and will consequently return to Bremen It will probably be necessary to discharge armaments. The Weser is a river in Germany formed at Munden by the Werra and Fulda, and flowing north through Prussia, till, passing Bremen, it forms for 40 miles the boundary between Oldenberg and Prussia, and enters the North Sea by a wide but shallow estuary after a course of 280 miles.
