When they remembered the scenes that had so lately passed before their eyes—that so many gallant soldiers and well-manned ships bad left their shores after a peace of such long duration—it was impossible not to feel anxious for their welfare, and to hope that they might be suc cessful. (Cheers.) Sir J. 11VDONALD returned thanks on behalf of the army, and Rear-Admiral KELLY for the navy. Lord J. RUSSELL said—Gentlemen, I cannot but feel it a great honour that I should now be called on to pro pose to you, in the presence of so many gentleman who have been connected with the official a dministration of the colonies of this country, and in the presence of so many merchants of the city of London connected with the trade of Canada,• the health of the noble lord who has presided with such distinguished merit over the government of our Canadian colonies. (Cheers.) I rejoice also to have the opportunity of speaking in the presence of the representative of that great republic of the West, whose sons are derived from the same stock as ourselves, who speak the same language, and own the authority of the same ancient laws as ourselves (cheers). Gentlemen, although it may perhaps take up some por tion of your time, I may perhaps be permitted to allude_ to those periods which have marked the term of our co lonial government. There was a period when the colo nies of this country—the colonies to which our people had emigrated —were like children allowed to stray where they listed without protection or shelter, taking their chance of falling down the neighbouring crag, or being lost in the surrounding wilderness. That period has past away, but it did not pass without imparting to many of our young colonies that vigour which enabled them after wards to glow up into great and free communities. But it did pass away, and we arrived at a period when, by petty restrictions, and by undue exercise of imperial pre rogative, we endeavoured to derive those advantages from our colonies which we only ought to have expected from the most perfect freedom of intercourse. It was once said by a statesman, who was a wit as well, that the American war was caused by secretary of state, who bethought himself after many years of ,opening his despatches. What was meant to be conveyed by that was, that directions were sent out from this country cramping the commerce of the colony, imposing taxes, and tending only to its alienation, which would never have been proposed had the Secretary of State carefully read the despatches which he had for years been receiv ing from America: Even the fatal reverses of the Ame rican war —reverses which we incurred by our delays— did not open the eyes of Government ; and the same system was continued for many years. No greater instat:ce of the folly of Such a course of proceeding could be afforded than the case of Canada, respecting w hi c h we endeavoured by parliamentary litigation to prose cute rules and laws for people who had separate religion, separate language, . and separate customs. Such a sys tem tended to produce only bickerings and disputes, and to make our governors themselves only the tools of a mischievous and i n j ur i ous s ystem. (Hear, hear.) B ut that time has. I trust, likewise passed away. (Cheers.) With regard to Canada, .at all events, we have tried, and are now trying, th e s y s tem of allowing a people as capable as ourselves of discerning their true interests, to promote those interests without our continual and vexa tious interference. Able men have pointed out the way in which we should go, and have also pointed out to Canada the wisdom and policy of uniting that which had been unwisely seperated ; but still the system itself was so new, the system of paying attention to the colony, of aiding its - prosperity, and yet not endeavouring to mar that prosperity by restrictions, that it required no ordi nary ability and temper to carry the system into effectual operation. Such, then, was the proper field for the deve 'opulent of such abilities as are possessed by Lord Elgin. It has been his duty to act the part of a constitutional king over a province which has been continually pro spering and increasing under his care, which has risen from little more than a million to two millions of re venue, which has increased in a short time from 600,000 to 1,200,000 population, and the imports and exports of which have shown year by year the symptoms of increas ing trade and improving industry. (Hear.]• lam not going to weary the assembly with details, or even to al hide to the great event which occasioned the difficulties of the noble lord's administration. We have had our times of differences in this country, and they have had their differences in Canada, but through all these diffi culties the noble lord was assisted by an excellent Prime Minister, who, I am glad to see, is present on this oc casion —(cheers)—and with his aid the noble lord has successfully coped with the difficulties of his position. The, results have been that we have now Secure in loyalty a province inhabited by as excellent and as intelligent a people as any in the British empire. (Hear.) Wvil, gen tlamen, I say toat it may be a matter of national pride to us if we have at last succeeded, after the two, periods of ignorance and neglec aed of narrow-minded inter ' kreacia, eastlilioaii4 t an ni oYgeut Tegich l /aver _ prescribe interference, except when the people ther selves would admit that imperial interests were co cerned ; and which, on the other hand, allows with the u most liberality free scope to public opinion as regards legs lation, as regards religious establishments, and as regarc institutions which may differ from our own, but ( which the inhabitants of the colony are, I should sas the best and the only judges. (Hear, hear.) But agai I say, admitting all this, that it requires no small poi tion of judgment and forbearance to know how to ad minister Government in such a country, and, even be yond these qualities of judgment and forbearance i required high and rare gifts to enable a man wisely t( rule over a people divided by many different religion; and by different parties, and to preserve an even meat between his duty to his Sovereign on the one hand anc the wishes of the people over whom he presides on the other. (Hear.) There is a sufficient reason why. w( now behold in this room so many persons assembled to do honour to the Earl of Elgin. (Loud cheers.) I have already said that I do not wish to trench upon any great political question ; but still, I may he permitted to say, with regard to myself, that I am one of those who have continually agreed with the Governor-General in the policy he has pursued. lam not afraid or ashamed of avowing that conformity of opinion ; and I only hope that in future times, whatever may be the fate of that magnificent province, whether it shall wish to remain connected with us in loyalty to the same Sovereign, or whether other view may actuate the majority of the population, the friendly feeling that have hitherto sub sisted between the people of the United Kingdom and the people of Canada may be continued to be maintained, and that men like the Earl of Elgin may always be found ready to govern with such temper and such skill as have hitherto distinguished that noble earl's adminis tration.' I trust that whatever may be turn of events, the people of Canada may be either the most attached of our fellow-subjects or at least the firmest of our Melilla, (Cheers.) Gentlemen, I shall not detain you any loner than by proposing "The Health of the - Earl of Elgin." (Loud cheers.) The Earl of ELGIN was received with loud cheering. He said—My lords and gentlemen, it is really very difficult for me—l am sure I speak very unaffectedly when I say it—to find words to express what I feel on this occasion. The noble lord (Lord John Russell) com menced his speech by saying that he felt it to be an honour to be called upon, in the presence of so many persons connected with official life, so many distin guished merchants of the city of London, and so many individuals connected with Canada to address such a company as is now here assembled. Then, what must be my feeling when I recollect that all these persons have met together to do honour to so humble an indi vidual as myself ? (Hear, bear.) It has been said, and said upon high authority too, that out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh ; but I cannot help feeling that the abundance of the heart tells sometimes all the other way, and that when the heart is very full with the many thoughts that throng for utterance, it is more than usually difficult to find words in which to clothe them. lam exceedingly grateful to the gentle men connected with Canada, and to the friends who have done me the honour to invite me to this most sumptuous entertainment, and to the noble lord, who has not only sanctioned this mark of their regard and consideration by condescending to take the chair on this occasion, but has added to that favour by expressing in terms so generous—so far beyond what I was entitled to expect at his hands, his approval of my humble ser vices. (Cheers.) I feel all the peculiar value which at taches to expressions of approval coming from one so eminent in position and character, and as a public servant who has long been employed in the colonies, I am all the more sensible of them, because, although I have not had the honour at any time of serving directly under the noble lord as Colonial Secretary, I have had ample opportunity, during my official career, of knowing how strong a claim the noble lord established on the gratitude of the colonies when he held the seals of that department, and how numerous are the monuments which he has left behind him of a wise and beneficent administration of colonial affairs. (Cheers.) He has been good en-ugh to give me credit for certain qualities of judgment and firmness in the discharge of what I believe to have been my duty ; but I think that before I can appropriate to myself these praises it is only just and right . that I should ask whether the mere fact of serving under the noble *loril does not greatly detract from any merit which mly appear to attach to the pos session of these qualities? At any rate, I remember an instance—l should not allude to it on the present occasion—l should carefully avoid even alluding to it, were it not so eminently characteristic of the noble lord and so illustrative of the secret of that influence for good which he is so able to exercise over honourable men—l remember the case of a public servant, certainly not a person of any great eminence or authority, nut a person certainly, whom there would have been any great difficulty in throwing overboard, at a time more especially when the waves of adversity were running high, and seemed to threaten to close over his head, but who at that moment was engaged in the dircharge of very onerous and re sponsible duties, and was endeavouring, nut by the exer cise of any brilliant talents, God knows, but by the application of patience and an earnest and, I will say, self-denying spit it, to solve a problem in government which had baffled the skill of far abler men ; and I re member how, when that individual was made the object of attacks (of which I will now say nothing, because they were natural enough under the circumstances)—l recollect, I say, how the noble lord provoked a burst of chivalrous sympathy in an assembly of English gentle men, of which he is the fitting representative and organ, by the use he made of these simple words, "We should be the basest of men if, believing Lord Elgin to be in the right, we were to desert him in his difficulty." (Cheers.) I should be the most ungrateful of men (and that is a character to which at least I can lay no claim) if I were to forget those words, or the circumstances in which they were spoken. (Hear, hear.) From this hign arena I can look back to my career in Canada, extending now over a period of seven years—a long time, considering the rapidity with which events succeed each other in new countries, and in proof of which I may mention the fact that five of my predecessors in the office of Governor-General have hardly filled that situation for a more extended term—l can look back in retrospect and reflect upon the progress which the colony has made, and to the changes That have taken place, not in its outward form and structure, but in the practical work ing of its , political institutions—upon the shock—the inevitable shock—which these changes have given to feelings and prepossessions for which I can candidly confess that I feel a sincere sympathy, and I might be greatly tempted on this opportunity to enter into some explanations arid details which might serve to throw light upon past transactions, and to remove doubts from the minds of those whose good opinion I desire to seem). But, upon reflection, I have resolved to resist that temptation, because I feel that the time at our disposal this evening is very precious, and that we have other and far more important matters in hand. I must say for myself that what is chiefly gratifying to mu in con nection with this re-union, and far more gratifying than any bearing with this assembly may have on my per sonal interests and prospects, is that my humble services, if you will, should have furnished an occasion for bring ing together so many influential persons in the centre of this busy metropolis, and induced them to bestow upon Canada a few hours snatched from their ordinary cares and other occupations. (Cheers.) For I cannot but think that it is greatly to be regretted that little atten tion is, apparently at least, in the usual course of things, bestowed upon this class of subjects. This seeming indifference has not only a tendency to chill this feeling of the colonists, by producing a correspond ing feeling in them, but it induces the people of this country to set a lower value than they ought to do upon colonial interests. (Hear.) I have had the good for tune, within the last two or three months, to be pre sent twice at great banquets held in this very room in honour of governors of East India presidencies, and at tended by many distinguished persons in this country. I confess that when I listened to the glowing pictures of the prospects of India submitted to those audiences, and duly spread over the country through the instrumentality of the press, I could not help feeling something of jealousy and regret that no similar opportunity was given for calling the attention of the people of this coun try to that great westein .depentiency which, though it is no doubt inferior in wealth and importance to India, and though its condition in many respects even con trasts strikingly with the condition of India, is not in habited by native tribes, but by a population drawn from the most energetic and active races, Englishmen, Frenchmen, Irishmen, and Scotchmen, and is bordered not by effete and decayed empires, but by a youthful and vigorous republic, whose distinguished representa tive has honoured ,us with his company this evening, and between whose country and the people of Canada gene rally, give me leave to say that nothing but feelings of mutual respect and gratitude are entertained. (Hear.) Well, gentlemen, your great kindness to me personally has provided just such an opportunity, and I believe that there are very few persons in this country without the walls of this room who form any adequate concep-, tion of the magnitude of the question which we are dealing, when we talk of the int eres t s an d the future of Canada. (Cheers.) This Canada, of which w e speak e so glibly, is the great heart o f B r iti s h America, an greater part of the northern cont ine nt of Americais still British. True, a large portion of that region is barren and inhospitable, but as to C ana da—and I may join with ns it the sister provinces —it is notorious that it c o ntains a territory capable of sustaining many millions of inhabitants, and is inferior in salubrity, fertility, and everything that can make residence desirable to persons of our race to no part of the American continent.

The almost unparalleled success which attended the concerts at the Hanover-square Rooms last year makes it certain that a repetition of their wonderful perfor mances will be most cordially welcomed.

Sir,—For twelve years I was afflicted with sores on my legs and arms, which gradually broke out into ulcerous wounds, and disabled me from following any of the active duties of life.

No people speaking this language can ever become the wile ling instruments of despotic power. These great result", in the destiny of the future, are to be peacefully ac complished by the energy, enterprise, and indomitable perseverance of the British and American races. Ido not confine Myself to the Anglo-Saxon race alone, be cause a large,, respectable, and useful portion of the population of my country have sprung from the Irish, the German, and other European stocks. lam myself whatever may be my merits or my faults, the son of a native-born Irishman, and lam proud of - my descent. With your indulgent patience, I shall advert to one other topic before I take my seat. I cannot suffer this occasion to pass, without expressing my gratificae tion with her Majesty's wise and liberal declaration in favour of neutral commercial rights, during the existing war. It was worthy of the civilisation of the nineteenth century, and worthy of the best constitutional sovereign who has ever sat upon the proud and powerful throne of Great Britain. The time will arrive when war against private property upon the ocean will be entirely pro. scribed by all civilised nations, as it has already been upon the land, and when the gallant commanders of the navies of the world will esteem it as great a disgrace to rob a peaceful merchant vessel upon the sets, as the ge neral of an army would now do to plunder the private house of an unoffending citizen. (Loud cheers.) The Earl of HARROWBY had been requested to pro pose what, on some occasions, might have given rise to a splendid address ; but, under present circumstances, the whole spirit was to be allowed to evaporate, inasmuch as he was asked to propose the health of her Majesty's Ministers, and not to touch upon politics. (Laughter.) Had be been allowed to touch upon politics, he could have said something for them, and between the two he might have said a great deal. (Laughter.) He, how ever, could propose his toast without touching upon po litics, because he -felt that they were met to do honour to a man who had been trying a great experiment by giving liberty and independence to the colonies without loosening the ties between Canada and the mother country. The noble lord accepted the principle of self government without trying to connect it with any domi nant party. He believed the problem of good govern ment would be equally well solved throughout the whole world if Sovereigns would adopt the same noble and single-minded principle upon which the noble earl had always acted.. (Cheers.) He had been asked to connect with this toast the name of the Duke of Newcastle, and he had great pleasure in doing so, feeling sure that a greater and more sincerefriend to the cause of in `dependence in the colonies had never existed. The noble duke most worthily filled the office with which he had been entrusted by her Majesty, and wishing the noble duke the utmost health and happineis, he begged to pro pose to them "her Majesty's Ministers and the Duke of Newcastle." (Cheers.) had d c ;e e l t e e e n e In s said d d i i f fa e his ty n o e b t l l e a e friend i e n f t k h e e t o o f a s N t h E proposing Tke p the neutrality in which it had to be brought forwariii, he felt the difficulty much more in replying to the toast, in asmuch as it was the only one on which neutrality • could exist, as everything connected with doing honour to the noble earl, whom they had met that evening as their guest, must be of a positive character. Her Ma jesty's Ministers fully felt the difficult position in which they were placed by recent events, and were not un mindful of the great obligations devolving upon them in the present emergency. He could not help in acknow ledging the compliment of his health in connection with the Ministry, recollecting that he was the representa tive of a long line of colonial secretaries whom he saw present, including SirJ. Pakington,'EarlGreyeLord J. Russell, and the oldest of them all—Lord Monteagle, and he felt assured they all felt the greatest interest iri the prosperity of the colonies and the success of the Go- vernment of his noble friend Lord Elgin. There he stood to return thanks for the representatives of colonial go; vernment, and to de honour to the merits of the Earl of Elgin. He and his noble friend stood in the position of a colonial coalition Government—(laughter) —the whole of the members of which felt the deepest interest in the prosperity of the colonists, and all of whoM were happy in uniting to do honour to the Earl of Elgin. They were assembled, however, not only to do honour to the noble earl, but to express a sincere regard for the colony over which he presided. He had the honour of knowing bis noble friend for very many years, he was almost afraid to say how many. (Laughter.) His noble friend in the chair had spoken of Lord Elgin in the highest terms of esti mation, and the hon. gentleman who represented the distinguished republic of the 'United States bad also spoken of him in terms of friendship and interest, in which he cordially sympathised. Some of those present had known the noble earl on the banks of the St. Law rence, but he had known him before that time on the banks of the Thames in a public school, and had always highly appreciated and admired his . talents and his vir tues. The honourable gentleman who. represented the United States had*Stiolleti of the inhabitants of that coun try being descendants of the British—he would not say Anglo-Saxon—and lie was sure they would do all honour to the country from which they were descended. His noble friend had spoken of the war in which England was now engaged. How had the despot ag ainst whom they were opposed comme nce d th a t war? Why, by declar ing his distant provinces under martial law, whilst in England they had appealed to the country for sup port—an appeal which had been responded to through. out the land—and sure he was, if required, not only would the colonists call upon them to draw the troops from the colonies, but would offer contingents in sup port of this noble—this righteous war. He had great pleasure in greeting his noble friend (Lord Elgin) on the present occasion, and he trusted that this country would long go on in the utmost prosperity, aided and supported by that noble colony with which Lord Elgin's name would, he rejoiced to say, for ever be connected. Earl GREY proposed " the health of the Hon. Mi. Hincks, the Prime Minister of Canada." They were met to do honour to his Excellency the Governor-General of Canada, and it was impossible for him to see so large a company gathered for such a purpose without feeling gra tified that the difficulties which he (Earl Grey) had to en counter along with Mr. Hincks and the Governor-General in 1849 had been successfully removed. The success of the Earl of Elgin's administration was greatly owing to the judgment and ability of Mr. Hincks. Canada now enjoyed internal peace and prosperity, with party spirit mitigated, and alt classes uniting for the common good. All that remained to hope for was, that as she had shown patience in adversity, she would now exhibit moderation suitable to her present good fortune. Mr. HINCKS (who was received with loud applause) said—My Lord John Russell, my lords and gentlemen, believe me I feel ‘ deeply sensible of the high honour which you have conferred upon me. It is a source of much personal gratification that this toast should have been proposed in such complimentary terms by a noble earl with whom I have had the honour of holding official intercourse, andewhe from his first entrance into public life has devoted sonineir of his attention .to colonial sub jects. I feel at the same time that the compliment is not so much paid to the individual, or to any measure of colonial policy of which I am the advocate, as to the position which I have the honour to hold as an adviser of the Crown in Canada. But, my lords and gentlemen, much as I feel the honour which has been paid me per sonally, I feel in common with every Canadian in this room, sentiments of the highest gratification at the success of a demonstration, the importance of which it is scarcely possible to over estimate. It is not in Canada that I look for great results, though if time permitted I might dwell on the satisfaction which will be experienced there at the compliment raid to your noble guest ; but it is in this country, it is in this great metropolis, in every part of the United Kingdom, that the success of the great demonstration will be felt. When I look around this table, and see thedistinguish e d statesmen Who surround it, and including those who during the last q uarter of a century have directed the colonial policy of the empire —when I see the eminent capitalists, and the representatives of the great commer cial interests connected with Canada—l feel how impor tant is the sanction which you have given to those prin ciples of Government under which, without the slightest abatement of devoted loyalty to our Queen, or of attachineat to our mother country, we are enabled to en j o y all the privileges of an independent state. As your distinguished guest has already stated, the people of this country have little time to think about colonial. affa,irs, and the fact is that great changes which have been made during the last ten or twelve years have hardly been noticed .by those not actively engaged in public life. (Hear, hear.) Nothing has grieved me more during my Occasional visits to this country than to find how lightly the severance of the connection between the parent state and the colonies has been spoken of. There is not, my lords and gentlemen, I venture to say, an in dividual in this room who does not share in the feelings of indignation which pervaded the country when the news was disseminated that agyeat northern potentate had, under the, plea, that his neighbour and ally was sick, and in imiftitient danger, been compassing in his mind how the territory of t h at neighbourhood could be Parcelled out fo ibis own advantage. And yet we have had too many among ourselves who joined in the cry that the colonies were sick even unto death, and who were ready to abandon these immense territories to whatever fate might happen to befall them. Most fortu nately, such sentiments prevailed but to a limited extent in Parliament, and I entertain a strong hope that the demonstration of this evening will entirely dissipate them. The principle of governing your great dependen cies on those same constitutional principles on which; this country has been governed since the revo lution of and i 1688, is no longer an experim en t, f or our meetin, this evening is a recognitio n o f it s en ti re success,he looked happy consequence must be, that instead of being on as in a state of transition, we must be cons ide red t. by the world at large as having political insti e t n u t ions as stable and as permanent as any independ ent power either in Europe or America. The . w hi ch . of our institne save prevailed regarding the stabili ty . bons have done us incalculable injury. Like our neigh bours in the United States we have had extensive public works to construct, and we have been, and must continue to be, borrowers of money. I believe th a t no . thing has tended so much to damage our credit as the prevalence of the opinion that there was no stability in our institutions. The meeting this evening will be of great importance in removing such distrust. There is, however, another circumstance to which, in the opinion of some of those round this table even more importance may attach. Last Saturday was the day on which the first loan ever contracted for Canada fell due. I recol lect well the predictions made a few years ago that our bonds could not be paid without our obtaining a fresh loan. On that day, however, I am happy to say, these bonds were paid out of a surplus revenue, and in an other year a similar amount will be paid from the same source. This money was expended in the instruction • orship canals, which are the admiration of fin I who visit them. They are now paying a considerable revenue ; but they have long sines, by reduction of freights, and _* o ia.CANI44 \ oi Noporty, pa t 1 kV tia9lelNre§ ten: [PRICE 5D envied, and is affording to an extent which to its pre n- vious history furnishes no parallel—a profitable field for it- the investment of English capital and a congenial home s- for the subjects of her Majesty of all ranks of life. I 'ls can add also, in confirmation of what the noble lord said, ,f I that a spirit of loyalty and attachment to the Queen e pervades all classes of the colonists, whose institutions, a as far as circumstances will permit, are now happily a faithful imitation of those of thb mother country. The - peopl e of Canada, divided as theyare into different races - and religions, and notwithstanding their party disputes, yet recognise the fact that the Common interests which unite them are greater than the causes of division. (Cheers )- This is no doubt a very different picture of tne condition of Canada from what used to be sketched by those who formerly vied with each other in the con trasts they drew between the wretched state of our pro , vinces and that of the adjoining republic, and therefore I may be asked what are the causes which have pro duced the results that have recently been witne-sed in Canada ? Now, nothin g could be more absurd than to ascribe the present prosperity of these provinces to any one single cause. Canad a has largely participated in the prosperity which has prevailed all over the commer cial world. I believe that she suffered severely in the first instance from the removal of protection ; yet, al though the consequence of the collapse in the artificial trade of the St. Lawrence was serious, I have no doubt but by energy and self reliance Canad a will be able to repair the loss which recent legislation occasioned. (Hear, hear.) But above all these causes, there were causes, I think, in the old system -of colonial govern ment which were very unfavourable to progre ss ; and 'something has been done of late years to remove those obstacles. (Hear.) Formerly there were always two parties in the colony, one of which was self-styled the imperial and the other the colonial party. They took opposite sides on all disputed questions —the one looked for support to the authority of the home Government, and the other called for colonial independence ; the strife between the two was interminable. It has been said that the new system of responsible self-government which has happily taken the place of the old system, gives a triumph to extreme opinions ; but my belief is just the contrary of this; and.if the new system is made permanent, I think a more temperate tone will prevail among colonial politeeians than has hitherto existed, and will by-and-bye take possession of the colonial press likewise. (Hear, hear.) I have often warned my Canadian friends against doing anything to lead the people of this country to suspect that they were ca pable of abusing the powers confided to them, and pointed out to them that if they do not pay the same scrupulous regard to the rights of property as the people of England, they will bring a blight upon the land, and cause the fair flower of their prosperity to wither to its rout—(cheers)—and what is more, that they will bring a scandal to one of the best causes entrusted to a people, because I believe that, on the success •of our Canadian experiment, not only the liberties of many other colonies depend, but to a far greater extent than many suppose, the future greatness and hap piness of the mother-country. (Hear, hear.) I will only add a word or two with regard to the sympathy of the United States of America for Canada. The sympathy of the United States was the sympathy of a noble and high-minded people, too great to entertain unworthy suspicions and jealousies—a sympathy towards a youth ful and kindred people who are endeavouring, with steps not so unequal as many persons imagine, to march side by side with them in the career of 'moral and material improvement. (Loud cheers.) The Earl of ELLESMERE had been honoured by a corn mend from the chair to propose the next toast—the health of their guest, "His Excellency James Buchanan, the American Minister. (Cheeks.) Whenever the Pre sident of the Republic of the United States was about to allot the offices of honour in the State, he was never without a large and distinguished field of candidates from which to select ; but it did so happen that, occasionally, however well known and honoured the parties selected for Foreign Ministers were in their own country, they were unknown to the people of the country in which they were to represent the Government. That, how ever, was not the case with their friend, his Excellency Jaynes Buchanan, as he was favourably known in this country from having been engaged in establishing, in conjunction with their friend the Governor-General of Canada, amicable relations between that important colony and her colossal meiLfhbour the Republic of the United States. He had especial gratification in having to propose this toa,st,as it gave him ao opportunity ofackno w !edging with gratitude the friendly reception which he had received from all classes of society on his visit to the new world. That was not a lecture-room, and he therefore should not trouble them with any lengthened description of his travels amongst that people, to whom they were hound by the strongest ties of unity of . blood, and lan guag.., and kindred institutions—it people with whom, lie trusted, he would never live to see the bonds of friend- ship interrupted. He had floated in the mighty steam palaces of the Hudson, and traversed the rapids of the St. Lawrence, and he had seen the results which were arising- from the ability and perseverance of his noble frien 1 the Governor-General There was a moment when, in traversing the mighty river of the St. Lawrence, they took on board the Indian pilot to carry them over the last rapids, which could not be regarded otherwise than with anxiety. So also had there been a time in the government of his noble friend, of difficulty and appa rent danger—a difficulty and danger which he had over come, so as t,,omerit the gratitude alike of the colonist and of the mother country. He would not further allude to his travels, excepting to say that wherever be had been in the United States, he had met with the most friendly reception, and to express his belief that there was no feeling existing between that great Republic and the colony of Canada but friendship. To all those who had the time to spare, he would say, •' visit Canada," and to those whose time was too valuable to go themselves, to send their sons or their daughters—(laughter)—for sure he was that no person could visit it without being enriched by the contemplation of the Transatlantic scenery, divested of prejudice, and assured that there was a !might future iu sture fur him. He might be al- lowed to Observe that, in the great contest into which they had just entered, he felt assured they had the moral support and approbation of their American brethren, and though they could not expect them to jump over the foot-lights and take part in the contest, they might reasonably expect to receive from them occasional rounds of applause which would give spirit to those engaged in carrying out that contest. He had great pleasure in proposing to them the health of their distinguished guest, his Excellency James Buchanan. (Loud cheers.) Mr. BUCFIANAN then rose and said—My Lords and Gentlemen—ln the name of my countrymen, I thank your lordships most cordially for the kind sentiment which you have proposed in favour of my country, and myself, as its representative ; and my gratitude is due to - this large and distinguished company for the enthu- siasm with which that sentiment hasbeen received. This honour will be justly appreciated on the other side of the Atlantic. If my countrymen themselves could have selected the individual by whom such gracious and kind words should be spoken, I am persuaded their choice would have fallen upon the noble earl. He has been amongst us—he has seen us at at home, and has been " To our virtues very kind, And to our faults a little blind." There are thousands on the other side of the Atlantic who will respond to the universal sentiment of approba tion in this country, when they learr. that his Sovereign has conferred upon him one of the highest and proudest marks of distinction which it was in her power to bestovi. (Hear.) May he long live to enjoy it! Certain I am th it the penalty denounced by tlic:motto of the garter will never reach either his head or his heart. And here I ought, perhaps, to stop. We have been taught that after-dinner speeches ai:e dangerous ; and Prudence might, on ordinary occasions, dictate that I should pro ceed no further. If, however, at a public dinner given to Lord Elgin, as Governor-General of Canada, I should make no reference to his merits, I should expose myself to the condemnation of my own countrymen. Under his enlightened government her Majesty's North Amer_ n l e na. , n provinces have realised the blessings of a wise, prudent, and prosperous administration ; and we, of thever:t. neigh bouring nation, though jealous of our rights , son to be abundantly have satisfied with his jus t and friendly conduct towards ourselves. (Rear.) Ile ,8 service has known how to reconcile his devotion to her Maj est y proper regard . to the rights anti interests ofBice with a the kindred and neighbouring people. Would to Heaven we h a d such governors-general in all the European c o l on i es , in the vicinity of the United tStatreosblHst of statesman.slOrdsliiphas solved one of the most difficult pie u ship. He has been a bl e , successfully and sa ti sfactorily, to administer, a midst many difficulties, a colonial go vernment over a free pe o p l e. (Hear.) This is an easy task where the commands of a despot are law to his obedient subjects but not so i n a colony where the people feel that they possess the rights and privileges of native-born Britons. And now, what shall I say in re ply ? Had I not imagin6d th at my own humble instru mentality might contribute in some small degree to re move existing causes of dissensions between the two countries, and to confirm and perpetuate their mutual friendship, I should not have enjoyed the privilege of addressing you this day as the Minister of my country. (Cheers.) It is my most earnest desire that the two nations, kindred as they are in point of blood, should be equally kindred in each other's affections. And wby should they not be ? have many' free principles in common which it would be tedious to enumerate ; we speak the same language, we read the same books, and we both enjoy a free press, without which liberty in any country would soon become an empty name. We claim your old masters to be our pro perty as much as yours, and, thank God, our people are able to real and appreciate them. Every child born in moat of our states has the same right to receive a good and useful common school education as to breathe his native air, or to drink from his native fountains. Why, then, should any jealousy exist between us ? There have never been two nations on the face of the earth whose material interests are so closely identified. (Hear, hear.) Commercially speaking, the progress of the United States has proved nearly as beneficial to Great Britain as to ourselves. The extension of our posses sions on the continent of America, from the purchase of Louisiana to the present moment—an extension which has been accomplished, whatever may be said to the contrary, upon pure principles of honour and justice -1 has in the very same degree extended British commerce g44;tiii2CtirW.
