THE GOVERNOR GENERAL,

Yontreal

Montreal, Noy. 30.

About ten e’clock the Windsor began to assume an air of great bustle from the rapid arrival of deputations from various Socie- ties and institutions to present addresses to His Excellency. The deputations were ushered into the drawing room ono after another, and received by His Excellency, who was in his Governor General's full uni- form. The first address was from the Synod of the Presbyterian Church in connection with the Church of Scotland, and it was presented by Moderatoo, Very Rev. John Davidson, Rev. Gavin Lang, Sir Hugh Allan. and a large number of other pomin- ent members of that church. The Rev. Gavin Lang read the address. His Excel- lency then shook hands most cordially with

Roy. Mr. Lang, who introduced each mem- ber of the deputation, with whom he shook hands.

After the reception of the Consular Corps a deputation of the Natural History So- ciety waited on him. The address of their Society concluded :—

We respectfully solicit that your Excel- lency will accept the position of patron to our society, an office which is rendered vacant by the removal of your illustrious predecessor the Earl of Dufferin.

His Excellency very gratefully accepted the position offered him, and paid a high tribute to the value of the society as a body and its work.

An address from the Bar followed that of the National History Society.

The deputation of the Ladies’ Education- al Association presented the next address, which was read by Mrs. Molson,

TO H. R. H. PRINCESS LOUISE,

requesting the privilege of permitting the Association to enroll H. R. H. as patroness of the Association.

Her Royal Highness very graciously ac- knowledged the address presented her and replied in the following pleasing terms : “The Ladies’ Educational

Montreal :

‘‘T am much flattered by your kind ex pressions, and also by your wish to number me among your patronesses. I have read your last report with much interest and satisfaction. Education is one of the great- est objects of the age and most important, not only because it is the noblest in itself, but because it is the means of the complete de- velopment of our common nature and a due discharge of the duties of life in their bear- ing on the future destiny of the race. The fruits of education are so attractive that we are often tempted to force them prematurely without sufficient tillage, and thus lose sight of the true ebject of education, which consists much more in the development of the intellect than in the mere putting in of superficial knowledge and of cramming. Hence our necessity of grounding in the rudiments of knowledge, and thoroughness in all that is done. Knowledge thus got never dies; knowledge got otherwise never lives.

‘* Again it has struck me whether there isnota fear of our making—through our very facilities for teaching—the acquisition of knowledge too easy for the pupils. For it is from the meeting and mastering of difficulties that intellectual strength grows and increeses, just as physical exercise de- velops physical strength. May I venture to suggest the importance of giving special attention to the subject of domestic *econ- omy, which properly lies at the root of the highest life of every true woman.

** (Signed,) Lovtse.”’

Addresses were also presented by

Association of

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND,

Very Rev. Dean Bond, Bishop elect, read- ing the address. After His Excellency had replied he shook hands with tne delegation, specially honoring the Dean with an intro- duetion to a private interview with H. K. H. Princess Louise, which took place later

in the Vice-Regal sitting-room. In the afternoon His Excellency and Her Royal Highness drove out to Monk- lands, to Villa Maria Convent.

The place was beautifully kecorated, the reception eclipsing anything hitherto tendered any visitor to the Convent. The Vice-Regal party was received by Bishop Fabre and the Lady Superioress. The pro- gramme consisted of music, presentation of flowers, addresses of weleviae in French and English, the latter in verse. His Excellen- ey replying said: ‘* Lord Dufferin had often spoken of the institution, but what he saw surpassed all his expectations.” After more music several addresses in verse were read, which were replied to by His Excellency. The Montreal troop of cay- alry acted as escort to the party and arches were erected at various stages along the road. McGill College was then visited, where an address was presented, Chancellor Day reading it and the Marquis replying, also addressing a few words to the students. A boquet in a silver-holder with an inscrip- tion was presented to H. R. Highness, which she graciously accepted. The museum was also visited, in which the Vice Regal party evinced great interest. The Princess’ Drawing Room in the evening was a most brilliant affair. At the whole series of en- tertainments between 1,000 and 2,000 per- sons were presented. His Excellency wore the Windsor uniform and Her Royal High- ness Princess Louise wore a black velvet overskirt, pale creamsatin underskirt, tiara of diamonds and a cluster of the same on her shoulders. On Sunday the Vice-Regal party atgended divine service at the Eng- lish Cathedral. Admission was by ticket. The Very Rev. Dean Bond, Bishop elect, preached. The Marquis attended St. Andrew’s Church in the afternoon

Montreal, Dee. 1. Princess Louise received a cablegram to- day from the Queen, dated Windsor Castle, Dec. 1st., expressing her great delight at the reeeption given the Vice-Regal party at Halifax and other places in Canada, and

LECLURE OF REV. LACHLIN TAYLOR, PD. ID.

Dr. Taytor delivered a grand and elo- quent lecture in the Y. M. ©. Associaticn Hall, last evening. The Doctor's style of lecturing is good, he is active on his feet, tallf, wiry, lithe; he settles down to his work like one who takes delight and finds amusement in delivering his lecture, and not as though he found it a task. We give an outline of the lecture, which by no means does justice to the lecturer. He said, that farsighted statesman, Talleyrand, saw that the secret of England’s greatness laid in her great colonial system, and that her future greatness and solidity would depend upon her acquisitions in every part of the globe. Napoleon the First saw and admitted the fact. The truth of the prediction is ap- parent to everyone who gives the matter thought. We find that out of every seven acres of land upon the surface of the earth, Great Britain possesses one; out of every five inhabitants of the globe, one owes al- legiance to Her Majesty Queen Victoria. In Europe the most enlightened portion of its population submit to the sway of her sceptre ; in Asia the most civilized portions delight to acknowledge her sovereignity; and the most happy and industrious tribes

Francisco. British Columbia will be able io vield timber for the North-West for 1,000 years to eome, and which will be con- veyed to all points along the line. The Doctor said the Northwest had its drwbacks; the mosquitoes are very troublesome, summer frosts are known, both of which. he believed, would disappear as the country is settled. The method by which he proposed to make this coun try great is to take the Englishman, irish. man, Scotchman, Frenchinan, German, and Scandinavian, give them our laws and the word, and by this means build a great nation with British-Canadian institutions. The Doctor concluded with an eloquent peroration, which we dare not touch with- out his manuscript. but the sentiment clothed in beautiful diction, expressed his extreme loyalty to the throne of Her Ma- jesty the Queen. . -_—-

ANNUAL DINNER-—-LIST OF TOASTS, ETC,

Tus Annual Dinner of the Caledonian Club was held last evening at the Revere House. To enable guests to attend Dr. Taylor’s lecture, the chair was not taken until nearly ten o’clock.

By that hour a large assemblage was in attendance. Among the inyited guests were James Reddin, Esq., President of the Senevolent Irish Society, and several gen- tlemen of the Press. The Hon. A. A. Me- Donald presided, and the Vice President, Robert Shaw, Esq., acted as croupier.

The dinner was an appropriate comple- ment of the intellectual feast of the earlier part of the evening. The viands provided by Mrs. McNeill would have been relished by Englishmen, and the justice done fat turkeys and plum puddings by the Sons of the Heather was very re-

of Africa are constituents of the Great Em-] markable. So also was the absence of

rea , won ape ancie tre; . ° : ° pire. U1 all the dependencies of Great haggis—which, we are taught to believe, is Britain, none hold a more prominent,

The Dr. here gave figures,and showed that the country of which we are part contains 8,000 square miles more territory than the United States. He said a great portion of itis now a track- less waste, and the number of inhabitants but four millions, and it might not be much to boast of our great unpeopled Provinces. True grandeur and greatness consist in ruling and governing the minds of men, influencing their judgments and controlling their actions. The Great Em- pire of which we are a part contains mil- lions of people—all governed by the laws which have emanated from her statesmen. But [ must come now to my subject—Man- itoba and the North-West. Having ob- tained the required horses, buck boards and carts, the party with which I travelled set out on its long journey. We travelled from five o'clock in the morning till seven

at night, resting three times during the day ;

to refresh ourselves with food. Out on the trackless prairie, where not a sod had been turned nor a line marked by the surveyor, we travelled at the rate of five or six miles to the hour. The Flora of the prairies is one of the most magnificent sights i have ever beheld. Flowers of every shape and of variegated colors dot the surface as far as the eye can reach ; the luxuriant growth of grass and herbs seems to invite the beast of burden to partake of its nutritions quali- ties, and every thing seems ready and wait- ing for the only being that is absent—man.

The climate of Manitoba is something like

that of Quebec, but very much dryer. There are none of, the cold east winds which pierce through one—as you perhaps have experienced—which is so common in this part of the Dominion, In the winter season considerable snow falls, but the wind does not drive it into huge banks as is the case with us. The air is so dry and pure that consumptives from Ontario have recovered their health and become strong. Passing away from Manitoba we entered upon the great Lone Land. For days we had travelled without seeing a single man but our companions— the land, which I can only compare to the trackless ocean in vastness, stretched away on either hand with all the grandeur of monotony, but still with varying in surface that relieved the eye and prevented weari

ness. There is One stretch of country in that far North-West that covers one thon- sand miles in length by three to four hun- dred in width, every yard of which can be cultivated. The resources of that vast country, called the North-West Territory, are unbounded. Wheat in many places has been known to reach seventy.tive bushels to the acre, while the average crop is forty, and that, too, from land that has been cropped twenty years in succession without the application of manure. The Dr. next spoke of the great rivers which flow for hun- dreds of miles, and gave a beautiful descrip- tion of two rivers that take their rise at the base of the Rocky Mountains and flow on through 600 miles of territory till they unite and settle down to business for another stretch of 700 miles till Lake Win- n pezis reasthed. In many sections horses

have been known toremain outall winterand to have been in good conditionin the spring. The Dr. seems to have no doubt that our

great North-West will be peopled with mil- lions. The vast deposits of coal and the unrivalled richness of the soil seem to await the hand of man. Two specimens of coal, taken from the surface by himself,

had been subjected to a chemical test. One was pronounced equal to the best Pennsyl- vania coal, and the other to the best Nova Scotia coal. The railroad, he thinks, will be the forerunner of development, and,

when that great undertaking shall be com-

pleted, thousands will pour in to oceupy the land. The Canadian route will be the, grand highway of the nations. Yokohama/| will be 1,000 miles nearer Great Britain | than by any other route; the voyage to| Australia made ten days shorter, and the

travelling distance between Chicago and

Yokohama 600 miles shorter than by San

**chief o’ Scotia’s board.”

The toasts which followed the substantial part of the repast were: enthusiastically drunk, and, in some cases, eloquently re- sponded to :—

Too Many Addresses.

If an address might be looked upon as of the nature of a protest, disavowing disloyal feelings and aftirming loyal sentiment—and it is something of that kind—our new Goy- ernor General might by this time be dis- posed to say of the Canadians, ‘‘ Methinks they protest too much!” It is just pos- sible that the Princess, sympathizing with her husband, might be disposed to join in the new sentiment. It is no doubt diffi- cult to draw the line. Still the represent- ative character of a city ought to be more fully considered than it usually is. Cannot the Corporation of a city answer for the various denominations within its bounds, and for the several national, philanthropic, and other societies ? The Governor Gener- al had to receive and reply to something like sixteen addresses, if we mistake not, soon after his arrival. They had all to be reported and printed and read. It is pos- sible that in Montreal and Ottawa, the work of presenting addresses will be carried on, on the same scale. We hope it will not be so when the Marquis and the Princess come to St. John. The citizens should be warned that the addresses presented must be ‘‘ like angel visits, few and far between,” and also short and sweet. The people should not impose on good nature. They should rather seek to impart ideas of their moderation and good sense than of their exuberant loyaliy.—St. John Telegraph.

Goldwin Smith, who seldom says a kind or just thing about the Irish, lately de- clared that they are not, at all events, tuft hunters or flunkies; while of the Britons he asserted that ‘‘ the Briton, with all his pol- itical advantages, and with all his political qualities, is apt to be about the greatest flunkey in the world.”
