The English Navy.
FIRST LORD’S STATEMENT. (reuteb’s telegrams.) London, December 2. In the House of Lords to-day, Lord Northbrook, First Lord of the Admiralty, made his promised statement as to the measures which it was proposed to adopt with a view of increasing and efficiency of the Imperial navy. His Lordship stated Government had determined to maintain the naval supremacy. England now possesses 46 ironclads, while France, the next naval power, has 31. In view of the constant progress of naval science, Government wished to increase the navy gradually, and for the present only intended to construct four new iron-clads, but a number of torpedo vessels would be built, without delay.
