At the Lord Mayor's banquet to-night the Eirl of Beaconsfield, replying to the toist to Her Majesty’s Ministers, declared in strong terms that the Government un- swervingly adhered to the declaration they mide atthe commencement of the war, that British neutrality must cease if Bn tish interests were assailed or menaced, He believed this policy of remaining neu tral, except in defence of English interests, Wis the best policy, not only for England but for Turkey, as it had enabled Turkey to display an amount of vigor and force which had demonstrated her right to be recognized among sovereign dowers, and had dissipated the formerly current be- lief that her people were disaffected.

HARD ON THE isLanp.—The ill-considered ‘‘flits’’ of the Patriot only rebound against the Province and itself. A contemporary remarke: ‘*The Charlottetown Examiner suggests that one of the Island Grit mem. bers give up his seat for the talented M. Laurier; to which the Fatriot (Grit) re-

will keep within bounds of civilization.’ ”’

Tit Upper Canada papers still contings ‘o harp on the fac. that Mr. Laurier is not the first Cabinet Minister who was defeated on his appointment to office. They urge the cases in which Ministers, under Sir John’s leadership, were defeated. Well. beitso. That was when Sir John's Gov- ernment was getting weak, and the Reform. ers were shaking it badly.

Therefore, Resolved, That in the opinion of this Club, any such admissions would tend to defeat the objects for which the Club was organized; and that, in the future, such applications be invariably re- jected.

The Reso!ution, as it appeared in Saturs day’s EXaMineR was merely a hurriedly. written summary, which had been forward~ ed to the two gentlemen who applied for admission on Friday evening, and from whom you probably received your infor mation.

‘* THE SITUATION’’—A SUGGESTION.

Yo the Editor of the Daily Examiner : Sm,—That there is a universal and ex.

treme—I might almost say a fierce—state {|

of excitement in the minds of the people. of this Province, at the present time,there cannot be adoubt; and that the fatuous acts of the Government—markedly the

is equally clear. This is admitted by poli- ticians of all shades. Indeed, the only defense attempted by the Government organs, is that the principle of taxation, ac- cording to the value of property is a sound one. With equal truth, it may be assert~ ed, that the principle upon which the great Eastern Steamship is propelled, is a: sound one; yet no man but a lunatic | wou'd take her engines an use them to pro~ pel the Hijin ferry boat. Now,to create an army of Assessors and collectors to collect the trifling sum of $35 000 is, to my mind, about as reasonable an act as working the Elfin with the machinery of the Great Eas~ tern. It would simply sink her, and the course pursued by the Government will, assuredly, sink them or—they will quickly sink the country.

To expect from a party constituted of the slowest, almost fossil tories and red hot radicals—men who are of such advanced opinions as to be able t> look upon, and in their place in the Legislature to denounce, the glorious flag of old Eugland as the ‘ Blood stained banner, ’—to expect, I say, from such a combination of discordant ele- ments, anything like a cohesive, workable Government never entered the mind of any tbinking politician. Even had the in- dividuals who compose this union been men of ability, experienced in the art of governing, and skuled in the science of legislation, instead of being precisely the

to the public, that MacMullin’s corrupt transactions with the Grit Leaders are well known; that in the Election Courts Grit candidates have confes-ed, under oath, to personal election expenditures ranging from $10,00) to $30,000 each; that twenty to thirty Grit members have been unseated for corrupt acts, several of them being dis- qualified; and that scores of charges of corruption—both on the part of the Government collectively and ot members of the Government,—remain without satis~- factory answer or defence. Mr. Macken- zie may well be referred to as the “granite faced.’’ Granite is no aame for the adas mantine hardness of the cheek which en- ables him to rise before any audience, — but especially an audience of Grits who are supposed to know that they themselves
