He had also provided for the safety of the Colonies by organising mobile defences in the shape of destroyers and submarines, in which noth. ing had previously been done. The delays in the construction of ships were due to im provement in the designs. The personnel of the navy was fairly satisfactory. The Channel and Mediterranean Squadrons could sail at a moment's notice.
LATER.
Great Britain and France. Reuter's Agency understands that the pro- longed negotiations between Great Britain and France have resulted in a good under- standing on all the questions, Colonial and otherwise, which have long been pending between the two countries. All questions have been settled in principle, and the signature to the agreements, which cover Newfoundland, Egypt, Morocco, Siam and Nigeria is expected in a few days.
Hon. Gershom Stewart-Mr. Chairman and
gentlemen,--I have very much pleasure in se conding the adoption of the report and accounts. The report came into my hands about two days ago, and when Mr. Wilcox asked me to second the motion for its adoption I hardly thought I would have time to know very much about what the Association has been doing, How- ever, I am glad to say that when I opened the

THE ROYAL MARINES.
Nobody quite knows what will happen to the Royal Marines in the future, says a naval correspondent, but it is generally believed that some important changes in the constitution of the corps are pending. The difference between seamen and marinės is not nearly so widens it used to be, so far as work afloat is concerned If the Admiralty decided to-morrow to turn all the marines into bluejackets the thing could be done without any great difficulty. However, such a metamorphosis is not likely to occur. But it is intended to make alterations in the marines' equipment both for share and sea service. The duty of recommending what form the changes should take has been assigned to a committee of Royal Marine and Naval officers. Lieutenaut-Colonel J. H. Bor, com manding the Royal Marine Artillery, is president of the committee, which has begun
its labours.

was also opened to foreign trade on the 7th
inst, and excellent results may be expected to resuit from that concession. So far Nanning, on the West River which was to have heen made a treaty port, has not been opened, and the British Government appear to be in some doubt whether this concession is worth press- ing for, probably because it is not as yet accessible by steamer. I think, however, that the position of Nanning as a distributing centre and the head of the junk traffic on the West River, makes it of sufficient im portance to justify agitation for its eventua, constitution as a treaty port, and it is too early yet to abandon the idea of being able to ascend the river to that point in flat-bottomed light draft stern-wheel steamers, at any rate for a
The following is the League table up to portion of the year. At the same time it can not be denied that the accounts of those who have ascended the river from Wuchow to Nan. ning agree in describing the country as poor, thinly populated, and only partially cultivated even where cultivable. Of infinitely more im- poriance to this Colony would be the opening of Walchow as a Treaty Fort. This cily is the chief centre of trade on the East River and lies in the midst of a fertile and populous country. It is accessible by a good native road or path from the head of Mirs Bay, and it could easily be placed in railway communication with Kow. loon, by way of Shamchun and Shekloong.
