IMPERIAL DEFENCE.
The Earl of Carnarvon, m writing to "The Times," condemned the undefended state of British ports, which he characterised as madness, seeing the unsettled state of European affairs. He also pointed out that forts had been erected m Hong Kong, Mauritius and Singapore, whilst British ports were without armament. The defences of New South Wales and Victoria were cited as an example of patriotic wisdom which the Imperial authorities would do well to follow.
