During the First Lord of the Admiralty s recent visit to Liverpool , he called upon the " thriving , public-spirited" town to join with others in doing something for voluntary coast

defence , and the hints then thrown out by Mr . Goschen have already been acted upon with an alacrity and spirit which , promises to crown the naval volunteer movement with success . In the

race for patriotism special praise is due to several distinguished Masonic brethren for the active part they have taken in at once endeavouring to organise , the First Royal Naval Volunteers .

Bro . H . Scott , JAW , of the Lodge of Loyalty , No . 86 , has taken the lead as Honorary Secretary , with his characteristic energy , and he has been admirably seconded in his efforts by Bro . W .

promised support and personal service in connection with the work , and there is therefore a strong probability that the prospect will beilafro afloat before the end of the month . In reply to a

letter from Brother Scott , detailing the steps already taken , Mr . Goschen expressed his satisfaction at the prompt and cordial manner in which his suggestions had been taken up , and saying he

would be glad to learn further particulars , with the view of causing practical suggestions t <» be put into shape .

sympathy with the movement . Mr . Greaves says , " the fact that . 50 names were enrolled ( at the first meeting ) is very gratifying , and confirms my conviction that we possess in our seaports

and on our coasts the most ample materials for defending , at a small cost , our shores from all possibility of invasion if wc will but utilize them . " In the course of his reply Lord Sandon says , " I

shall have the greatest pleasure 111 co-operating with my colleagues in doing whatever is needful in Parliament to assist in carrying out the scheme of naval defence which the First Lord of the

Admiralty shadowed forth at Liverpool , if , on learningthe details ; we . think that the scheme is adequate to the occasion . A ship for

trainingpurposes has been promised by the Admiralty , At a meeting and to be held in Liverpool last ( Friday ) ni ght the matter was to be further discussed , and these letters submitted for consideration .
