Summary Of The Week's News.

SUMMARY OF THE WEEK'S NEWS .

la the House of Lords , on Friday , the Duke of Somerset moved for a return of the several classes of guns in use in the Navy . The subject is an important one , for the safety of the country depends on the strength and excellence of our Navy . The debate that followed was

interesting , and proved the anxiety of all parties to secure efficiency at all costs , bounded , of course , by a proper regard for the economical side of the question . Among the speakers were the Duke of Cambridge , the Duke of Richmond , and Viscount Cardwell , In the end the motion

The County Courts Bill and the Glebe Lands ( Ireland ) Bill were read a third time , and the Explosive Substances Bill a second time . On Tuesday the Pacific Islanders Protection Bill passed through Committee , a provision having been first inserted , empowering
