In the House of Lords to-day, Mr Northbroolc, First Lord of the Admiralty, made the promised statement as to the measure which it is proposed to adopt with a view of increasing the strength and efficiency of the Imperial Navy. His Lordship stated the Government were determined to maintain the naval supremacy. England now possesses 4G ironclads, while France, which is the next naval power, has 31. In view of the constant progress in naval science the Government wished to increase the navy gradually, and for the present only intended to construct four new ironclads, but a number of torpedo vessels w : 'l be built without delay.
