ritorial arrangement' stipulate& in the Treaty of Berlin
have been faith! ully executed, and the delimitation of the

has been evacuated by the Rumiat army, in ac.olaoce
with the treaty. Under the unthilmous sanction of the
signatory powers suitable provision has been made for the
govenunent of the Ottoman province of Postern
Romagna, and I have with gre.t iirtsfaction given my

f.,re • • You have arransed in a clear and oomprehensive
form the provisions for thence maintenance of discipline

tahoe piece; and you have amended the regulation under
' which the reeerviee can be recalled to the colours.
Th. Acta providing for the appointment of a publia
pruseaater and amending the law relating to the summary
Jui lunation of magistrates will, I trust, 'rutty improve
the nlminiatration of the criminal leer. The alteratious

jetut stock companies are well calculated to conduce to the
proapurity of this important portion of our mercantile
nod commercial system. The depressed condition of the
airicilcural interest has naturally engaged Your attention.
and I have much pleasure in complying with the a•ldrese
of the nous* of Gommons requesting me to appoint a
Cundliegion to enquire into the causes to which the
depression is owing, and how far they can be remedied
by registration.
I ,diaarve with satisfaction that you have been able to
muddier the important subject of education in Ireland,
and that you have agreed to measures which will form •
fitting supplement to the eoactment of last mission as to
intermediate education. The primary education of she
country cannot but be stimulated by the careful provision
you have made for improving the position of the teachers,
awl the Bill you have passed for University education will.
I trust, ripply what is corded for the advancement of
learning in its higher branches.
In bidding you farewell, I pray that the blessing of
P. evidence may beet on the Unsure with which you have
been occupied during the amnion.
