Arnold Foster, in presenting the Naval estimates in the House of Commons, announced that tho Admiralty ware i,_treducing seven half-inch guns ccjua 1 if not superior in ballistivo power and c ffieiwney to that promised by any foreign Power. Tho Admiralty was in a fair way to adequately supply armour picrcingprojeetiies without which no Admiralty womlcl liste to send a fleet into action (chccru). Sixteen vessels armed with muzzle loaders would disappear from the effective list. The money asked for would be applied to increase and strengthen tho Nav;/ which was already highly efficient. Seamen had done excellent service in Africa and China. Wo had but one testimony regarding the effective service of the Aus-
tralian contingent and excellent behaviour of the men. Ho hoped this remarkable precedent sent almost on the birthday of a great Commonwealth would bo imitated with advantage.
