Its title is " The Colonial Society." Its objects are to estiblish here—in the Metropolis of the British Dupire—a rendezvous for all those who are in any way connected with our Forty Colonies. To this end the association pro poses to erect a Reading Room, a Library, and a Museum. Under the shelter of its ro beams it is intended that authentic and reliable it:forma tion may be at all times obtained by those either personally or professionally (as one may say) interested in the undertaking. Tne intcliigence thus rendered accessible to them, is to be of course always as much as possible on a level with the most recently acquired knowledge upon subjects of a colonial character. Added to this, the intention of the Colonial Society is to facilitate the interchange of per sonal experiences among those representing one or other of our more or less remote and j scattered dependencies. Opportunities, moreover, will be afforded every now and then for the reading of papers and for the holding of discussions upon colonial matters as circumstances may permit or oc casion may require. Colonial produce will be col lected and exhibited either intermittently or periodi c Illy. And, whenever it may be thought advisable, in connection with the interests of the Bri tish Empire, the Society will undertake, at uncertain intervals, scientific, or literary, or statistical investigations. The wonder is that nothing of the kind has ever previously been undertaken. Now that the association has been formed, it is earnestly desirable that it should be supported and encouraged with a cordiality that will enable it to develope its resources and its ope• rations to some extent proportionately with the vastness and variety of the cause and of the interests which it represents. At the inaugural banquet which took place yesterday, the Chair was occupied by the noble lord, the repre sentative of the border town or burgh of Berwick upon-Twccd. And Lorl BURY . , as Chairman, was surrounded, or, as the phrase is, supported on this OCCa sion, among others, by four of the Cabrnet Ministers— t!ie First Lord of the Treasury, tilt: Secretary of State for the Colonies, the First Lord of the Admiralty, and the right bon. gentleman the Chief Secretary for Ireland. There, too, was the United States Minister, there, too, were the era-President of the Council, the ex-Secretary for War, the ex-Secretary for India, and nearly two hundred others, collected together, as it happened, from all parts of the habitable Jobe. "Our country," as the noble Chairman i emarked, " had scl.t forth its offshoots in THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MXRCH 11, 1869, every direction," and—referring immediately after wards to •the original promoters of our colonial empire—Lord BURY added —"Their descendants from parts of the world were around that table that night." The Prime Minister, alluding to the pecu liarly representative character of those who were, then and there, assembled together, and who were listening at the moment to the words he was giving utterance to, hesitated not to say emphatically, " There is no degree of latitude or lon gitude upon the whole surface of the globe that has not, I believe, sent its contribution to this meeting ; and I rejoice," he said, " that the time has come when it is fully recognised that while the tie of affection between England and her colonies grow stronger and stronger, the nature of the rela tions between them is better and better under stood, a relation no doubt associated with irnpe ri;d interests, and founded upon something still higher, upon honour and affection, having, above all, the basis and the essential principles of free dom, a departure from which, or the slightest irn piiring of which, in the policy which governs this country's action towar,!s the colonies, would at once destroy the great charm which characterises the con nexion between them." It is the instant and vivid recognition of all this which imparts such peculiar in terest as we conceive to the formation of the Colonial Society, and the national and we will even say im perial event of its formal inauguration yesterday. SrRELY never did so small a measure as Mr. LOCKE KING'S Intestacy Bill excite so much opposition. All that the bill proposes to do is to extend the principle already in force, that if a man does not make a will the State should make one for him, such as he would have been likely to make. At present, if a man dies intestate, and leaves money in the funds and land, the State says the money shallbe divided, but the land shall go to the eldest son. Supposing that there is only land, it must still go to the male child who happens to be born first, even though he should be a luaatic or a blackguard, and even though there may be half-a-dozen other children who are sane and virtuous. The first gets everything; the others are beggars. Worse than that, if an intestate dies without children, and leaves only land, the land may go to a relative whom he may never have seen, and his wife may be left destitute. It is very wrong, of course, for him to leave no will; but why should the law lay a penalty upon impru dence—a penalty, moreover, borne not by the person offending, but by the person offended against ? Why if the intestate has done an injury should the State make that injury ten times worse ? There is absolutely no argument against Mr. KING's bill. If it proposed to make division of land among the children compulsory, as in France, there might be some reason for alarm. But it professes to do nothing of the sort. It does not prevent a man from making as unjust or as fantastic a will as he pleases ; it says only, "If you make no will, we will make one for you, and it shall be the most equitable that can be devised." Sir LAWRENCE PALK denounced the bill as "tyrannical," because, as he said, "it told a man that he should not leave his estate as he desired." Thereby the member for East Devon sheaved that he had not read the bill. Otherwise he would have seen that—as its very title " Real Estate Intestacy " implies—it has nothing to do with the making of wills, but concerns only those who do not make wills. Mr. STAPLETON, the member for Berwick-on-Tweed, urged two mutually destructive arguments against the bill : one that it would, by altering the ancient law of the country, bring about great changes ; the other, that it would have only an infinitesimal effect. The first objection is nonsense, the second is the best possible answer to the objectors. If the effects will be so minute, why this violent opposition to the measure ? If the knowledge that intestacy will involve a division of property induces land owners to make their wills in favour of the eldest son, how will the admirers of the law of primogeni ture be in a worse position than they arc now ? The ' opposition to this bill is simply childish. LIE discussion on the Yangchow affair in the House of Lords, and the expressions of opinion to Iwhich it gave rise, may perhaps preserve us from a repetition of the Abyssinian experiment in the interior of China. Whatever may be the influence of missionary labours on the progress of Chris tianity, they are unquestionably productive of much political trouble. Our difficulties with missionaries in China have become so serious, and the intervention of armed force to protect them so frequent, that, as the Duke of SOMERSET remarked, we are propagating Christianity with gunboats. 'We are virtually leaving the Chinese the single alternative of accepting a faith which they know not, or of having their houses battered down by Armstrong guns. Missionaries, both French and English, establish themselves in towns to which our treaty rights do not extend. Many of them are courageous and self-denying, really anxious for the spread of Christian doctrine, and willing to encounter danger in the prosecution of their work. They preach a doctrine which, however noble and good, is strange to the country, repugnant to the people, and hostile to the influence of their leaders. If the Chinese are inclined to tolerate this teaching, which is seldom the case, their intellectual and spiritual superiors infallibly resent it. A mob is raised, the missionary residence is assailed, and per sonal injury and insult are too often the issue. The naval officer on the station is appealed to, and gene rally lends a willing ear to complaints. An attack upon a Chinese town is an agreeable relief to the intolerable monotony of watching for pirates in a tropical clime ; the missionary finds ready allies, and the attempt to spread Christianity ends in an act of war. This is the history of the Yangchow affair, and of most others of the kind. In some cases Protestant and Roman Catholic missions perplex the Chinese by their conflicting doctrines, and in one or two instances Christianity has been put to shame by the direct and primary employment of violence. The proper, the only righteous course for the missionaries to follow is clear. The pro pagation of Christianity is an enterprise which must invariably command respect, and the missionary societies have perfect liberty in choosing the scene and the scope of their labours. But they cannot justifiably involve this country in g c h o t mp t l h ic e a y tion t s o re on i t y behalf, u heirponthe armed and still less assistance of British troops. Two courses olitica o l u are open to them. They can, as Lord CLARENDON puts it, follow in the path of trade, and confine their labours to those countries and districts which are open to them, and where their teaching is tolerated by the native authorities. Their labours would not thus be unduly confined, for even in this restricted range the harvest is great and the labourers dispro portionately few. On this condition they will always be safe and certain of the shelter of the British flag. But if they decide to follow the example of the Apostles, and carry the Gospel into all lands regard less of human laws, they must not look for the aid of gunboats. They are free to choose this course ; but their relations with secular authorities become mate rially altered. They violate the law of nations which gives to every State the privilege of choosing its own laws, and of forbidding and sanction ing what it pleases upon its own territory. In fact, they invade China, and enter into a conflict with the Chinese Government, which they must support on their own resionsibility. Conver sion by force of arms was considered laudable by the sons of ISLAM, but it has never been recognised as a just tenet of the Christian faith. Our repeated interferences to exact reparation for wrongs to missionaries have been utterly unsatisfactory in a political sense, and decidedly prejudicial to the interests of religion. They have involved us in dif ferences with the Government of Pekin, prevented the development of trade, and the opening of the resource& contained within the Celestial Empire. And few persons will believe that the Chinese differ from the rest of the world in not detesting a doctrine which they are compelled either to listen to, or receive the broadside of a British war ship. The missionaries will do well not to go beyond the confines of civilisation. The world cannot be regenerated in a day. But if they disregard this principle, they must not look to aid from English officers. These have received definite instructions that in future they are not to determine, on their own responsibility, what redress is due for wrong to British subjects, or how it should be exacted. They can interfere only when life is in danger of being sacrificed, and even then they will be required to shew that they could not rescue the threatened Englishmen by taking them on board ship. The English Government rightly decides that in these affairs there ought to be no difference between China and a European State. .ELECTIOA INTELLIGENCE. ,‘.- ....- Scialsonouon.—Sir Harcourt Johnstone has consent, to offer himself as a candidate for the representation of Scarborough, as the successor of his father. The hon. baronet has issued his address, and attended a meeting of his supporters yesterday. BRADFORD. —An address has been issued by the Brad- ford Working Men's Conservative Association, exhorting the Conservatives to vote for Mr. Thompson. The executive committee of both candidates are doing their utmost to render the contest as pure as possible. The nomination takes place this (Thuroav) morning, and the polling to-morrow. CORRESPONDENCE PROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, WEDNESDAY, March 10. Europe must be in a bad way when the departure of an ambassador from his Court produces a commercial panic. .Yet the return of the Duc de Grammont from Vienna to Paris, together with one or two more unfa vourable symptoms, has thrown the Bourse into a perfect terror. The New Free Press says he is recalled on account of the unsatisfactory relations between France and Prussia, and this hypothesis gains strength by the much-talked-of interview between the Sovereigns of Austria and Italy. Furthermore, before the Emperor Francis Joseph left Vienna he gave orders that the Archduke should take his place at a banquet to be given at the Italian Ministry, in honour of King Victor Emmanuel's birthday, which is on the 14th of March. And this is the present state of Europe : a duke has left Vienna, one or two archdukes are going to take part in a dinner, and straightway the Bourse at Paris feels the effect of these alarming determinations, whilst some of the German Bourses are even in a worse state of tremor. The Etendard, however, comes out with a strongly pacific bulletin. "Our information permits us to affirm that the Grand-Luxemburg Railway question is in a fair way of settlement. The Belgian Cabinet having repeatedly affirmed that the solo object ' of the new law is to protect the commercial inter ests of Belgium, the French Government was naturally led to ask whether the projected agreement between the East of France and the Grand•Luxemburg companies is of a nature to affect those interests. The Belgian Govern ment has replied that the union of these two railways under one direction might prove inconvenient on account of the combination of the tariffs. The trade of Belgium might suffer if the East of France Company established a reduced scale of fares for goods passing from France to Belgium. In consequence, this affair, which has caused so much disturbance, has led to nothing more serious than a simple discussion respecting fares." This is important news, but the conclusion drawn by the Etendard is obviously unsound. The dispute is not simply a discussion concerning fares. The Belgian Government has now the power to refuse the concession of a Belgian line to any foreign company, and the French Government asks if it intends to do so in this particular instance. Is it likely that the Belgian Ministry would give a point-blank refusal? No; it proceeds cautiously, and puts forth this ingenious argu ment about fares. The plea is neat and very just, for it is clear that if a French company worked a Belgian rail way, the commerce of the smaller country might be mate rially injured by goods being brought at a cheap rate from Belgium into France. But it is also clear that the argu ment is a pretence, and nothing more. Those who see anything serious in this railway affair will hardly be re assured by the Etendard's declaration. M. Jules Favre has done a disinterested action which deserves recording. He is deputy for the City of Paris, and was certain to be re-elected, for the French workmen who are employed by M. Haussmann never vote for Government candidates. But M. Favre has offered to stand for the third circumscription of the Gers, where his election will be much less certain, in order to oppose M. Granier de Cassagnac. This contest will bo one of the most exciting at the next election. The Papal 'Nuncio has had a long interview with the Emperor. It is thought that the Pope's letter to the Archbishop of Paris has been the subject of discussion. There is every reason to believe that the Constitutionne Is entering upon a new phase of policy. Without ceasing to support the Government, it will on some ques tions take an independent course. Such a change has been found necessary. The public do not read Imperialist papers, and they consequently do not pay. A journal must do something to keep up with the times, or sink altogether. The Government is taking strong measures against excesses at public meetings. A student of architecture, aged 22, was tried yesterday at the Tribunal of Correc tional Police on a charge of exciting to hatred and con tempt of the Emperor's Government, and of outraging public and religious morals, by a speech at a public meet ing at Belleville. He was sentenced to eight months' im prisonment, £2O fne, and the payment of the costs—a very severe infliction, which might advantageously hays been tried upon an old offender first. The Seine is rising so rapidly that the quays andlandinry wharves are partly submerged. _ The stormy weather still continues in some parts. Reports of disasters to shipping flow in apace. At To"•l' , a violent gale is now raging. The elections in Hungary are unquestionably lively. The recent decree of the Ministry may put a stop to riots, but they have already been so violent that the list of killed and wounded exceeds 100. A teacher in the canton of Zurich has just been arrested on a charge of having caused the death of a little girl b 3 corporal punishment. He had caught her by the hair anC shaken her head with such violence that a cerebral congestion supervened, of which she died in a few days. Lord Stanley of Alderlcy has been unable to attend to his Parliamentary duties this sesion, owing to illness. The village of Etraignes, in France, has been de stroyed by fire, and the loss amounts to £32,000. The Bishop of Loudon has appointed the Rev. Thomas Fraser Stocks, Prebendary of St. Paul's, to be one of his lordship's chaplains. The correspondence as to the International Yacht Race is still being conducted, and ha 3 not yet resulted in anything definito. On Tuesday a boiler explosion happened at the works of Messrs. James Grico and Son, gun implement manufacturers, West Bromwich. One man and a woman were found to have sustained serious injuries. John Balehin, the trustee of a Foresters' Court, who was charged with stealing £5B ss. from the Society, was tried to-day at the Middlesex Sessions, and sentenced to four months' hard labour. Wednesday being the sixth anniversary of the mar riage of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales, the auspicious occasion was duly celebrated at Windsor. Prince Scbonberg, a young Prussian nobleman of great wealth and ancient family, has been received into tho Roman Catholic Church by Cardinal Buonaparto. llis conversion has given the utmost gratification to his Holiness. A telegram from Turin announces that the mail from France of the 28th is buried under an avalanche of snow, near the House of Refuge, No. 5, on Mount Canis. hitherto there has been no possibility of extricating the car riages. No lives have been lost. It is reported that the budget of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, says the Star, will include a proposal for an ,additional penny of income tax. This would realise a sum nearly corresponding to the difference between the Abyssi nian deficit of £3,500,000, and the savings of £2,500,000 effected on the estimates. The Manchester grand jury, on concluding their labours on Tuesday, made a presentation to Mr. Justice Brett in favour of the licensing of beerhouses being transferred to the magistrates. His lordship said the only duty he had to perform as to the presentation was to forward an intimation on the subject to the Government, and this he would cer- ainly do. We regret to say that there was no foundation for ,he statement we copied from an Exeter paper to the effect that Bishop Trower had been appointed Episcopal Com missary for that diocese. Tho present abeyance of Episcopal jurisdiction and supervision will probably continuo during the remainder of tho Bishop of Exeter's life. Whoever is responsible for its continuance has a great deal to answer for.— Guardian. It is stated, says the Echo, that the President of the Board of Trade has determined to sanction the rope system for passenger train signals agreed upon by the managers at their York meeting, giving to such lines as have electric or other signals in use the right of continuing them ; and not restricting, wo should hope, any from adopt ting the pneumatic or any other system they may prefer for its superior advantages. The Guardian says of Mr. Disraeli's amendment : —The resolution taken by the chiefs of the Opposition to fight a pitched tattle ou the accord reading of the Irish Church Bill has the merit of straightforwardness, and may for party objects be not unwise. But if so, this is ono of the many cases in which the in terests of the Conservative party aro not the interests of the Church. le must be very shortsighted, who either really thinks that the Irish Establishment can be permanently maintained, or, not really thinking that it can, prefers, instead of trying to make the best of this bill, to risk the chances, practically overwhelming, of a worse.; The Manchester Courier says—The P.m J. A. Sedgwick, the rector of St. Alban's, of that city, has written a conciliatory letter to the Bishop of Manches ter, in which he undertakes to comply with the sugges tions thrown out by the Archbishop of York with re spect to certain ritual practices, and which have recently been the subject cf appeal. The letter was taken in person by a prominent member of the congregation, who had an audience of tbo bishop yesterday. his lordship, regarding former assurances, did not, it is said, seem dis posed to return a very satisfactory reply. The gentleman who was deputed to have an interview with his lordshir represented that ho was one of a congregation of at least five hundred persons, who wished to worship at St. Alban't Church, and asked what they were to do ? The bishop is reported to have said that if ho reinstated Mr. Sedgwiek he must have a very distinct undertaking from him as to the manner in which, for the future, the services of the church wore to be conducted. His lordship's written decision awaited with oai9 a4zietY• POPULATION RETURNS. Among tne parliamentary papers just issued is one which is very brief but very suggestive. It gives the estimated population of England, Scotland, and Ireland at the middle of the year 1868, with the total amount of revenue derived from taxation for the two years ending 31st Dec. ,1867, sheaving, too, the number of representatives which each of these divisions of the United Kingdom would have if the 658 members of the House of Commons were allotted proportionally to the population and the revenue. The result of these calculations is that England, which has now 500 members, should, according to her population, have 469 ; Scotland, which has 53, is entitled to 69, and Ireland, which has now 105, is entitled to 120. Divided according to revenue, the results are somewhat different. England should have 496 members, Scotland 93, and Ireland 69. It will thus be seen that there is a difference of 51 between the two esti mates as regards Ireland, while Scotland, in either case, gains on her present number. THE COMIC PAPERS. (From Punch.)

But there can be no doubt that Mr. Gladstone's bill is more truly revolutionary than anything which has been done since the so-called Reformation—if we except the Great Rebellion and the hateful incursion of Dutch William." Mr. Daniel, Q.C., on Tuesday gave judgement in a case, which will decide several others, arising out of the re cent election inquiry at Bradford. 21 witness who had been subpoenaed on behalf of the petitioners against Mr. Forster, sought to recover expenses for four days' attendance. The de fence, however, was that on one day he attended, not on behalf of the petitioners. but to support the case of the respondents, and that on another d a y h e was i n cou rt to gratify his desire to hear Mr. Baron M ar ti n ' s j u d gmen t. The defendants, Messrs. Storry and Garnett, had paid 15s. into court, which they held was sufficient, and in this view the Judge con curred, and gave a verdict for the defendants. THE PROSECUTION or MR. BENNETT. The present Bishop of London is, like his prede cessor, unwilling to assist in any way the suit against Mr. Bennett. He must do, of course, what it is his legal duty to do, but he declines, if we rightly understand what has passed, to go a step further, and has not hesitated, by thus acting, to draw on himself the acrimonious attacks of the partisans who wish to force forward these ill-advised pro ceedings. The Bishop's sympathies are certainly not with Mr. Bennett ; but he doubtless sees, as others see, that this prosecution, founded on some incautious expressions, is really levelled against a body of religious opinion which has always existed within the English Church, and is intended to narrow her pale and expel from her communion pious men who have been and are perfectly loyal to her.—Guardian. A melancholy accident occurred yesterday at a chemical works near Birmingham. A retort, which was being used in an extractin g process, exploded, and set fire to barrels of naptha and other combustibles on the premises. The fire could not be extinguished, and two men working were literally burnt lo a cinder. Four otherr, including the forereau, were fearfully injured. THE COLONIAL SOCIETI Wednesday, being a parliamentary half-holiday, is generally, during the session, the day fixed for public dinners, or at least for those at which political men are expected to attend. On Wednesday last the Hon. Reverdy Johnson, the Duke of Manchester, the Marquis of Normanby, Earl Granville, the Earl of Albemarle, Viscount Monck, Lord Alfred Churchill, Right Hon. NV. E. Gladstone, Sir John Pakington, Sir Staf ford Northcote, Sir Charles Nicholson, Sir George E. Cartier, Right Hon. Chichester Fortescue, Right Hon. H. E. Childers, Hon. Dudley Fortescue, M.P., Hon. A. Kinnaird, M.P., Hon. Robert Meade, Sir Bartle Frere, Sir Charles Clifford, Sir J. C. Lees, Mr. Benjamin Moran, Colonel Lloyd Lindsay, M.P., Mr. R. A. Macfie, M.P., with some 300 others, dined together at Willis's Rooms. Viscount Bury presided, the occasion being the inaugural dinner of the Colonial Society. Amongst the speakers to various toasts were his Excellency the American Ambassador, Messrs. Childers, Gladstone, Chichester Fortescue, Sir John Pakington, and Lord Granville. The Hon. REVERDY JOHNSON has slightly changed his style of oratory. On this occasion he commenced by declaring that the people of the United States had great love and admiration for us ; but went on to clear the minds of the meeting from a false impression. Doubts, or rather settled opinions, were at one time entertained as to the power of the United States to acquire fresh territory either by conquest or treaty. Those doubts were now removed, and it was quite possible that with the consent of this country, and the people snore immediately con cerned, some of the colonies which now flourished under the dominion of her Majesty—. lonsinion of which they had just cause to be proud—might find themselves under the stars and stripes of the flag of the United States. Should that happen, they world find that they had made an exchange for a country of which they might also be Proud, though he trusted that the day might be far distant when the possessions of England should be in any way curtailed. Mr: Childers said little, and that little consisted for the most part of commonplaces ; but the Prime Minister's speech made up for that. Thanking the meet ing, composed as it was of those who were opposed to him in politics, for the cordiality with which it had received the ' toast of " Her Majesty's Ministers,•" Mr. GLADSTONE went on to say, " We ask nothing but the belief that we, having acceded to office with certain professions of opinion and pledges with regard to our conduct, shall do that which every body of English gentlemen will be forward and zealous to do—namely, to redeem those pledges and to act upon those principles to the utmost extent to which our powers and opportunities will permit." Ile then proposed the toast of "Prosperity to the Colonial Society," and reminded the meeting that at one time he had been a member of the Colotsial Department. Thirty four years ago he first accepted office in that department, and his connection with it was finally severed twenty three years back. He alluded to the great change which had of late years come into the minds of Englishmen with regard to colonial affairs. " In the days when I was accus tomed to wear with my footsteps the stairs of the Colonial Office that office was haunted by a disembodied spirit that received a painful distinction under the title of Mr. Mother Country.' (Laughter.) And while that descrip tion conveys no inaccurate idea of the narrow traditions that still hung round about the conceptions of English statesmen more or less, although they were in process of being discharged at that period, on the other side of the water, and in every Brittih colony there was a party which, I rejoice to think, has since become totally extinct, under the name of ' the British party.' I speak in the hearing and remembrance of those who may recollect the circumstances and struggles of those times, and many of us in this country were taught, or attempts, at any rate, were made to induce us to believe that upon this British party' which invariably represented an insignificant minority, depended the whole hope of maintaining the connection between England and the colonies, and that if anything were done to offend that `British party,' or to recognise the vast majority of the colonial community as having a claim upon our sympa thies and acknowledgment, such a policy was certain to be fatal to the colonial empire at large. This was the state of things, and so strange was it, that merely to recollect it now seems like bringing back from the grave the spirits of the dead, so wholly is that state of things without a Parallel in the present day." The Duke of INIANcHEsTEs, in returning thanks for the House of Lords, could find but one fault with that As sembly—that it contained no representatives of our colonies among its members. Our colonists had a right to express their opinion and give their advice upon the general policy of the empire, and he should hail with 'leasure the establishment of a council in which Great Britain and the colonies were represented in due pro portions. The Secretary for the Colonies gave Mr. Johnson a neat plow. "I happened," said Earl GRANVILLE," to mention the other night that a distinguished friend of mine, by way of encouraging me, said the office I had accepted was one which he had always considered required but a modicum of sense. That phrase is somewhat vague, for I fear sense is an article that we credit ourselves with to a far more liberal extent than our friends are inclined to do. But no amount of sense could enable us to get on satisfactorily if we had not at hand the assistance, the ability, and the talent which are found to so remarkable an extent in the permanent staff of the Colonial Department. • I am rather afraid the Minister of the Great Republic who has spoken with such singular eloquence this evening will feel that it is a little want of sense on my part which makes me un ....repared at this moment to open negotiations with hini for he cession of British Canada." The Earl then went on to refer to two points of colonial interest which had lately arisen—the transfer of British North America (excepting British Columbia) to the dominion of Canada, and the creation of a colonial order of knighthood. On the former subject he said the matter was the most diffi cult with which he bad had to deal. " The proposal of my predecessor, who had invited the presence of the dele gae t sand taken much pains on the su bj ec t, h a d b een rejected. My strong political opponent, but old friend, Sir Stafford Northcote, and Sir Curtis Lampson, who both enjoy the confidence of the Hudson's Bay Company, and the eminent statesmen representing Canada held views so widely divergent that I almost despaired of success. Each seemed to consider me as hostile to themselves and favourable to the other side. I had only one weapon, but an arm of great power in public and in private transactions—the power of `bore.' I bombarded them with despatches, private letters, and confidential notes. I plied them with interminable talk, and at last, when I judged them exhausted and prostrate from mere fatigue, I fired at the whole covey with a it•oposa,l which, unpalatable to each, might be accept e d as a reasonable compromise by both. The handicapper of racehorses is, by the rules of an art invented by Charles Fox, supposed to succeed if both the owners object or if both accept ; and I should consider myself fortunate, indeed, if my pro posal should be objected to by each, but accepted by both." Speaking of the new colonial honours, he said : " The Duke of Buckingham procured the Queen's sanction to a reorganisation of the order of St. Michael and St. George, its extension to the whole of the colonies, and a complete remodelling of its statutes. This was only done on the eve of the Duke's resignation. lie had consequently only time to distribute several of the second and third classes of the Order. I have endeavoured to carry out mypredecessor's views. It is obvious that with the affectionate feelings entertained in the colonies toward the mother country it would be agreeable to distinguished men in the former not to be disassociated from those who are eminent in this country. For these reasons lam happy to say that his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge has consented to take the Grand Mastership of the renovated Order. Lord Derby, Lord Grey and Lord Russell have accepted the Grand Cross, which.l was empowered by her Majesty to offer them. These men had all been in one way and another, connected with the colonies Lord Derby passed the Act for the abolition of slavery in the West Indies, one of the most glorious and disinterested measures of which this country can boast. Lord Russell gave self-government to British North America. Lord Grey did the same for Australia, and left his strong mark on all the great questions of colonial policy. My duty for whatever time I may be connected with the Colonial Office will be to maintain the high character which has thus been impressed on the present Order." Sir STAFFORD NOImTHCOTE and Sir BARTLE FREER were among the remaining speakers. THE BISHOP OF CAumsLE.—ln consequence of the severe illness of the Hon. and Right Rev. Dr. Saltine Waldegrave, Bishop of Carlisle, his lordship has pro ceeded, under medical advice, to the Continent for some months' entire rest.

INDIAN SALARIES AND APPOINTMENTS. —A copy of an Order in Council, which approves of certain pro posed alterations of salaries and appointments in the India Office, has been printed by order of the House of Commons.
