we know the leaseholders of this Colony are desi '
read of becoming treehelders. Bat, Sir, such a

plain statement weuld bat al aceord with the
twaddie that characterizes the whoie Address, ne
part of which will bear the touch ef eriticisin. 1
will give you auutier example, viz: “ And we
frycice to learn that Your Exceilency's efforts
Will be continued to be directed towards extend. |
fog the operation ef the Land Purchase Bul.” |
Here we have the full portrait of that vanity and |
cuneit, ii wot dissimuaiation, which have marked |
the past career of the party whe gave birth te
this Adidress,—a party which will be methorable |
ior tte vanity and weakuess. Through the thin

thet they play with the bopes of the people. as an |

d-bt of gratitude for having been the Instrument |
tf making so tany of the former leaseholders ot
this Colony the teeeholders of the soil whieh they
formerly bed as leaseboders?) Such a sentimen!
wonld be ill-suited te thetr purpose. They pre-|
ter to hover about the subleet, rather than strike
at the reet of the evil at 6.¢e and sbelish it fer-|
eser. The sentente feet quoted docs not include
S$ the absurdity in the Address. In the same
strain of inexpressive Quibiguity, are the follow rg
words: © We trust the remaining proprietors.”
Does this mean the propriciers thatare yet living?)
{ Laughter.) Certainly the dead and gone do
ret remain. [Laughter] Bat, Sir, bam weary
ot feview ing tins silly decument, and I will cease |
proveking your risivilities by further criticising
& preduction that should ereate im us all a feeling
ot hemility, when we consider that it emanated
fromn persons who constituted thetuseives the Gov-

Hon Mr DUNCAN.—On the first of April
The Government, us shown by the state-
iment I gave, have only £21,000 to pay on
the Cunard Estate, which, considering the |
credits bequeathed by the late Government. |
will leave chem about £16 000 to begin with ;
therefore, L do not think that they should |
borrow any money atall. Phe Land Pur-
chase Bull was carted throagh the Legistature
when the Llon Mr. Coles was the Leader of
the Government, but it was supporied by
both parties. The late Mr. Duncan MeLean!
put forth the ideas, and they worked them
out. The purchase of the Cunard Estate, it

considerable loss to the Government; bur
judging ffom the amount of receipts already |
come in-—over fourteen per cent of the |
whole purchase money—and thauc there is|
aw large quantity of good land yet to sell on |

With respect to the purchase of more fands, |

did not think the present Government would |
require any tundsfor that purty ose, asl under- |
Stood that some of the
supported that party had propounded the
doctrine before the election that the terantry |

Conterence, is extendme lis practice in the |
arts of diplomacy with w laudabie desi.e, it muy |
be, to complete the work of pacification upon |
the inauguration of which he bas been com-!
pitented both in Kaskhind and France. The}
organ of the French Guveriment has aecknow
ledzed the great ability of Lord Stauley, who|
presided at the deliberations of the pienipo
tentiaries, and whose enlishtened and impartial |
attitude was in keeping with the disunity aud |
interest of Ensiand. Kut as if acceptance of}
the compliment was not desired for more than
it was worth,the Moniteur concludes by assert
ing that since the commercial treaty or 1866, |
“no nation profits more than Ensland by a}
suarantce which strengthens the peace of the |
continent.””. It waS in a ¢enerons spirit that
the Government of Great Britain
with its good oifices for
peace ; neverthele SS, our netehbors are in- |
structed that there is not a litéle selfishness in|
our part of the transaction; and seeing that |
we are most largely benefitted by the restura-|
tion of amicable recations between Prussia and |
France, it is insinuated that there is no vcca- |
sion for extensive gratitude on the part of |
either of the reconciled Powers towards us.
Che first display of feeling is accompanied
with this qualification; and if things should
not proceed so sus pothily as i$ expected, the
doubts of England’s disinteresteduess may be
more strongly expressed. We had miszivings
with réference to the interference ait the first,
and we thoroushly disapprove of that rene wed |
pressure upon the continental Powers for a|
disarmament whieh the ministerial papers |
have described. Advice, we are informed, is|
tendered im “ the form of a friendiy communi- |
eation,’’ and more especially to the French
and Prussian Geveri:ments; but friendly com-
munications to angry persons sunretimnes pro-
voke untriendly rep ies; and Lord Stanley

country about the misfortune tat: generally
