Russia gets the whole | oasis of Penjdeh, including Aklepe, Akro- bat and Pulsikhalan. Afghanistan gets Meruchuk and the whole of Zulficar Pass. Col. Kohlbery will be chief of the Russian commission, and M. Lessar next in com- mand. Both commissions will be much smaller than those headed by Sir Peter Lumsden and General Zsbnoi.

| AN INTERESTING ADDRESS BY PROF. GOLDWIN SMITH.

At the opening session of the American Historical Association, on Tuesday, the 8th inst., Prof. Goldwin Smith delivered the following interesting address on the _poli- tical history of Canada. The British Empire? is made up of four elemen's— India, the military dependencies, the crown colonies and the self-governing colonies. The self-governing colonies were really in- dependent nations, bound to the mother country only by a nominal tie, though the moral tie was still strong. Americans were hardly conscious of the recent extensions of Canada and the growth of her aspira- tions. She had been made up of loyalist refugees united to a conquest on which self- government had been bestowed. The prov- inees, before the insurrection of 1837, were ruled by royal governors, and toryism pre- vailed in the colonial government as in that of the mother country. The affair of 1837 was rather a petty civil war than a rebel- lion against the British Government. It was followed by the concession of respon- sible government and by the

UNION OF THK PROVINCES, ao that Canada was turned from a pair of viceroyalties into a single republic This was done with the usual British avoidance of a change in forms, merely by an altera- on in the instructions of the governor. Great Britain was the land of constitutional fiction, and her factions had led the world a strange dance. Other reforms followed,

particularly the disfranchisement of the state and church. Party government also began When the great issues were ex-

hausted party became mere fiction. The strugyle of factions at last produced a dead- lock, To escape from that deadiock, the statesmen had recourse to a confederation of all the provinces of British North America, The Trent affair also helped to frighten the provinces into confederation for mutual defence. The different elements of the constitution, those derived from the British monarchy, and those derived from Awericau federatiou, were described. By

POLITICAL PROBLEM OF THE DAY.

The break up of parties was seen in al- most all European countries, and had be- gun even in the United States. The Governor General of Canada had become a mere figurehead. The acme of constitu- tional royalty would be the substitution of a stamp, to sign all acts of Parliament with, fora king. The occupation of Canada by British troops had ceased, none remainivg but the reduced garrison of Halifax. Com- mercial independence, and even diplomatic independence, so far as commercial treatise are concerned, had been practically conced- ed. The political tie, therefore, had be- come as light as possible, but undiminished in strength was the tie of affection for the mother country, from whom Canada has never received anything but kindness and justice, and whose thousand years of his- tory she proudly claims as her own. Cana‘ian

CONFEDERATION WAS STILL ON TRIAL, and had great difficulties, both geographical and political, to contend with. A_ veil hung over the future. The speaker said he could not venture to d{scuss there any ques- tion connected with the internal relations of Canada, but he might say that when fears of American interference had been expressed on his side of the line, he had always told those who expressed them he had never heard a single word of ill-will towards Canada, or a single utterance of desire to agress upon her, or to izt.rfere with her in any way; and as far as any ac- tion of the American people was concerned, her political destinies were absolutely in her own hands.
