The manorial, after ex plainieg the principles upon which

CARDWILL said he was much obliged that the depu-
tation bed called upon hint to express their views. He
thought that they greed that the subject was • very
difficult one, and be did not think they would differ from
him in saying that of all the races that should be admitted
to the b taof Bitiopma civilized= and Christianity it
was the aborigines. The cultivation of the hied
was the very laudation of the prosperity at say
edam ; and it was tor the bag& not may of
the statists but the settees, that messores
should be takes which would Wise, as rapidly as possible,
the land in the oniony into cultivatios. But difficulties
naturally arose frees this state of this's, and it was with
theme difficulties that the government sedeavoured to coo-
tend, sad to see that swath ing like jueties was dons. It
required the application of sound jment to the circum-
@tames el each individual case, aaandd that was the only
mega by which anythieg could be dose ; and se the circum-
stances differed in difforect colonise, m weld the applies.
ties of sated MIN to those eingtinstraces vary. He
:cpathtieel with their desire that justice should be dame to
and that their intercourse with the Fogliels
vas should advantege, and set is their destine-
thin and deterioration.

Greet Northern Hotel, which was recently purchased as the
site of the building. Our madam need warmly be told that
the object of the tuba is the prormotioa of gymnastic easy-
CMS. Although founded so late as 1861, the Tenement
stands, in point of numbers, at the bead of all the German
societies of London, but it also includes amongst its mem-
bers several of oar own countrymen. The animas which it
has obtained rendered it eeossaary that more adequate pe-
nises should be obtained, and with this w limited labi-
lity society was formed, which punthaserthe a
sew site, con-
sating of more dart 10,000 mime feet. The plan of the
building has beea prowled by Yr. Griming, the architect,
