I That being the view of the Tory Pasty alter the
cession of Onloigno, what did they gay before it wee
accomplished? While the Combined net Inapt _
onset, fulfilling • duty mainly incited by Made
Intone, Lord Salisbury made • speech at Teunka, aft
I ridiculed the idea of the canoed of Europe. Re said
the instructions were that no gun should be led brew
one of the ship, and no sailor be landed, and they
might se well have pent out six washing-tubs with
lags. But the drams was very soon played out, and
the Sultan did cars very much, and the town was
given up. These "six washing-tuba" were • very
much better investment than the £8,000,000 which the
Tory Government got voted. We had the assurance'
that the lest thing they thought of doing wee toe
It—money is never got to be spent—(laughter)—but it
disappeared; pert went towards the *rpm* of •
somewhat pompons parade of Lord Salisry; when
he called on every crowned head in Europe, and part
towards removing • number of native troops horn
India to Malta, and than back Kato. It was like the
old saying—
" The Mug of Frame, with 10,000 men.
Marched up the hill, and—then marched down men."
(Laughter.) The claims of Grotto were • still more
important matter. Considerable part of the European
dominions of the Stilton is inhabited by Christians of
the Greek race, and it wu considered certain parte at
Turkish provinces ought to be odd to Greek, and
the Government of this country, and others in
Europe, were pledged by every consideration of
honour, justice and morality, to have this carried
into effect. Ch;r Government brought the cossurted
action of Europe to bear, and the Sultan has con-
sented to hand over to Greece • oonsidsrabk portion
of his territory inhabited by Greek.. and this had been
brought about by Her Majesty's Ministers with the
concerted action of Europe. But Lord Salisbury, In
his speech at Taunton, described it as a wildgoose
°hue, half romantic and half literary. That senti-
ment was ger tad with laughter and cheer!, but the
Coneervativu, who a, received it, deserved thoroughle
the sort of contemptuous estimate Lord Salisbury h
formed, when he addressed to them such words.
(Hear, bear.) In Asia Her Majesty's present Minis-
ters had partly withdrawn, and are withdrawing front
Afghanistan a portion of the troops who were Os the
territory of the Amcor. We box no riga% to that
territory but the right of conquest, the excuse for the
conquest was more than doubtful, dby withdrawing
they saved the people of India from • very consider-
able increase of tuition, which must have fallen en
them had we kept hold of the Afghan territory as the
Tories advised. (Applause.) Another subject is still
under discussion—the restoration of the Transvaal.
As an act of Jima," when judged by history, that will
redound more to the honour of this conotry and the
credit of Ministers, than any teeter of arms. (Applause.)
We took possession of Cape Colony but up to 1836
there was no emigration thence northwerth but in
