The Duke of CANSLIDGI, In responding for theorise,
said : Although the army is, us your president ham is.

The Cemasate propmed "Her Mejesty's Ministers,"

are not here to talk polities I wish rather to turn from
those barren contests which lad to little more than the
turning out of one set of gestlemen and the bringing In

The Earl of Diem proposed "Prosperity to the
Institution of Civil leagineere." It is almost idealise
to look back to • date which, in the lifetime of • natal,
Is only as yesterday, to a data which is within the
mentor, of men not yet very old, and to figure to enr-
olees the England which we knew se it was thin With -
sot a railroad, without • steamship, without a telegraph
wire, without • gas-lamp. We see Watt, and Basel,
and Arkwright, and Rargrsavea, and Cromptoe at their
work—(heer,.hear,)—.od we may, perhaps be able to
liaise to the loodly.espreseed axprehenaose of many
good people lest the nation should be utterly ruined
and necking by the height of luxury sod *stalagmite
which it had reached, as indicated by tlie fact that the
imports of 1770 exceeded ten Wiliam sterling—they
are now, I remind you, in passing, nearly 350
minims sterling —(eiseers). It is bare matter
of feet to lay that in national clvlllsatiou the
aflame of the last 100 years—from 1770 to 1870
ham been greater than in all the senturies pet together,
which followed the time of the old Roman civilisation
—(ebeen) We talk area now of the me,raltade and

after all, the pyre/skis of the Pharaohs, and the vart
gigantic sonetratioes of Rouse involved a very small
expeoditure of labour and skill when compered with
our 15,000 miles of railway works, or with those
anginal works, which, for mile after mile, line the
hanks of the Thames and the Mereey—(tiaar, hear)
The Bombs reads have been surpassed, and it may cot
