NewrouNDLANDERS To THs Froxt.—We learn with very g eat pleasure that Mr. Charlies U' Brien Keddin has heen promoted to the vacant managership of Roberts Arm mine. We have reason to beiieve that this appoint- ment is a most judicious ove, Mr. Reddin is a thoroughly competent and tical m: er. and has epent some five yware in the vervice of the mining company. We have been told that he hay served through every department of mining, except that of the smelting worker. Mr. Guzman has, in all the seleeti ue of his staff, which is a very etiicient ene, shown grest discriminstion—a quality which was al © very promin nt in Mr. Eliershucen. This is the third Newfoundlander to whom the Notre Dame Bay mining company have en- trusted the manazement ef a mine —a position wf very large responsibility. Tbe other two geatlemes are Mr W. 1H, Boyle and Mr. }. LeMessurier, the mausgers respectively of Hall's Bay and Colcheeter mines. All three are young men and deserve very great credit for their persistency and dilligent application te business. qualities that in most cases lead to success. Mr. Gusman deserves to be con- pone not less on his discernment aad eon eye for merit than on his liberality of spirit that forms so marked @ contrast to the traditional spirit of employers in this country. He has stepped out of « well worn ruck. The rule has been wnoet gag hegeeeten day, merit or no merit, we the head: of the soil—a practice that has been the curse of thie unlertuuets souctry.

My relations with foreign powers continue | to be friendly and harmonivas. The main | gu stion, relating to the frontier between farkey and Montenegro, has been settled. The Powers are now engaged in commanica- tiuns which kave in view che determination vf a frontier between Turkey and Greece. Some | important p rtions of vhe ‘reaty of Berlin,. which have so long remuined without ful- tilment, continue to form an object of my anxious attention, : A riaing iu the Transvaal has recently im- posed on me the duty of taking military measures with a view to the prompt vindi- eation of my authority, end bas of necessity set aside for a time any plan for securing to kurepean settlers that ful control over their ewn local affairs, without prejudice to the interests of the natives, which I hed been desirous to confer. I regret that the war in Basutoland cou- tinues, notwithstanding the efforts of the Cape Government. It would cause me much satisfaction if suitable occasion should present itself for friendly action on my part with a view of the restoration of peace. The war in Afghanistan haa been breught to a close; ani, with the exveption of the Candshar force, my troops have been recalled within the India frontier. It is not my intention that the o-cupation of Canada har stall be p rmanently maintained, but the atill unsettled condition of the country aud the consequent difficulty of establishing # sative government, have deiayed fora time she withirawal of my army from that posi- tion. Papéra on the several subjects to which I bave adverted, as weil as further correspuad- euen on the military estunates of India, will be presented to you.

The admistration of jastice bas Leen frustrated with respect to these offences, through tu» impossibility of procuring evideoce, and an extended system of terrorism has been established im varicus pacts of the country, which has paralyzed al- most alike the exercise of private rights and performance of civil duties. I find a state of things new in some important respects. and hence, with little ef avadabie guidance from former precedent, I have deemed it right 6. put in use the ordimary powers of the law be fore making any new demand; but a demon- straiion of their insufficiency, amply supphed by te present circumstances of the country, leads me no» to apprise you that proposals will be immediately submitted to you for entrusting cle with the additional powers necessary, in my u igement, pot «nly forthe vindication of order and public law, but likewise to secure on behalf of my subjects protection for life aad property, and perseaal liberty of action, subject to the primary and imperiowa obligatiens to which 1 have just rejerred. i continue to desire, not lees than hereto- fore, ta prosecute the removal of grievauces and the work of legislative improvement in ir land, as well as in treat Britain. _ The Irish Land Act of 1870 has been preduc- tive ef great benefits, aud has much contribe- ted to the security an« comparative weil-being of tne occupiers of the soil, without diminish- ing the value or disturbing the foundations of proporty: in came reepoota, howey r. and ore particularly under the strain of recent and calamitious years, the protection which it supplied has not been found sufficient either ju Ulster or in the other Provinces. I recom- mend you to undertake the further develop- ment of its principles ina mauuer conform abie te the special wants of Ireland. both as regards the relatien of landlord aud tenant and with a view to effective efforts for giving tu a larger portion of the people by purchase a permanent isterest in the soil. ‘Vhis legislation will sqaure the rewovel of purposes in view of al: obstacies arismg out of limitations on the owners of property, with due provision for the security of the interesta involved, A measure will be submitted to you for the establishment of Connty Government in Lre- land, founded on representative principles and framed with the double aim of contiem- ing tre popular control over expenditure, and of supplying @ yet mure serious wact by ex- tending the fermatiou of habits of local’ self government. Biils wili be laid before you for the abolition of corporal punishment in the arm, and navy. You will be asked to consijer racasures for the further reform of the law of baukiuptey; fer the coiservancy of the rivers, and the prevention of floods; for re vising the constitution of endowed schools and hospitale i» Scotland; for the renewal ef the Act which established secret voting ; avd for revressing corrupt pra tices, of which, in a limited number of t wns, there were lamentable examples st the last general elee- tion.
