I» fact there never was a more Conservative country in the world than Canada—not Censervative ina party sense, but as de- men desirous of conserving the best principles of the British Constitution as transplanted to Canada.

He did not know of a country with less misery and more happimess then Canada, for every indus- trious man could obtain « good day’s wages for a good day’s work. (Hear, hear.) Canada had its House of Lords. (Hear, hear.) Its peers were not hereditary, but peers for life. In a young country like Canada they could not as yet have any hereditary House of Lords, but probably about the time when it was being abolished in England, it would be adopted in Canada. (Laughter). They had tried an elective House of+ Lords and had voluntarily abolished it. (Hear, hear.) England might count on the loyalty of Canada. Any insult to the flag of England would be regarded as an insult to Canada, and Canada would be ready to make common cause with Eagland. (Hear, hear.)

The speech of the evening seems to have been delivered by Sir Stafford Northcote * Pp

p id

? » Who presided on the occasion. He a@ warm and graceful tribute to Sir John, compared him to the late Ear! of Beaconsfield, and said that Canada for forty vears owed aliaost everything to him. Sir Stafford touched on wany points of public interest Curing hia brief remarka, and our readers, we know, will read what had to say with pleasure and profit. tle responded to the teast of ‘*The Con- servative Cause,” which had been hap] ily proposed by Captain Cruikshank, the Con- servative caudidate for Leicester. Said Sir Stafford—

“They were met for the purpose of re- ceiving and doing honcr to a guest who was no* only a British subject hke themselves I who a the same time was the repre- ae tative of the great Conservative cause as

iewed, not in England alone, but in the

scitish Empire. (Cheers.) It was of the first importance to the Empire that the umpire should be kept together. (Hear, tr.) This was a great Conservative prin-

le overruling all minor differences, and uat principle their guest, Sir Jobn Mac- donald, was a distinguished representative. (ticar, hear.) With those who wished to m:intain this great priac ple of the Conser-

She was re-commissioned at Bermuda in March, 1881, when she returned to the West Indies station, and was subsequently engagea in protecting the fisheries on the coast of Newfoundland. The Griffon was employed during the Haytien revolution in protecting British interests along the coast, and was afterwards sent to Harbor Grace in order te put astop toa serious outbreak which had occurred there amongst the railway employes and the inhabitants. in this she was completely successful, and having put a stop to hostilities there, she left Harbor Grace for England on the 6th ; inst., and arrived here on Wednesday after} As to a Reciprocity Treaty with the a passage of thirteen days.

IMPERIAL FEDERATION,

The object of the association regarding Imperial Federation he said is to rouse the attention of the people to this subject. It will collect information on the ;subject, and will submit this to Canada. Sir John said that there was a proposition on foot to have a Colonial Council, somewhat on the plan of the India Council.

THE PACIFIC RAILWAY,

Respecting the Canadian Pacific Railroad, he gaid that it would be completed from sea to sea by the autumn of 1885, and would be in operation in the spring of 1886. It |} would endervor to attract as much Asiatic trade as possible.
