THE BRITISH NAVY.
LECTURE BY LORD BRASSEY
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. Melbourne, June 2. Lord Brassey, in the course of a lecture on the British naval power and policy, said, in regard to the men available, the character of the material and ships, they had a great advantage over other nations. Their naval power was much above the standard agreed upon by the House of Commons, the power of equality of any other two nations. It was, he said, increasing at a greater rate than France and Russia together. The navy, he declared, was well able to prevent the colonies being attacked and protect commerce in transit.
