England and her Colonies.
[Per Press Association. | London, March 7. At the annual dinner of the Colonial i Institute, Lord Jersey, President, congratulated Australasia on Lord Brassey's appointment to the Governorship of Victoria, which, he considered, would be a great gain to the cause of the United Empire. Lord Brassey would bring to his duties an amount of earnestness, knowledge and kindly interest which few men could. Adverting to the recent cricket matches he said he regarded these tours as cementing the Empire, He thanked Lord Ripon for bringing for--1 ward the Customs Bill, which was proof that Great Britain was willing to meet the wishes of the colonies. It seemed hard though that British goods should be treated by the colonies as foreign. Sir C. Dilke advocated a British cable to the Cape, India and Australia. Lord Brassey, proposing the toast of the Navy, said the colonies had done all that could be expected towards the defence of the Empire.
