that BADZTINICI did not intend to observe the minis-

corroborated the belief.

Bach are the grave gaieties' which a =ogress has

appeared to us a farce, we shall never believe that it

should it attain anything like the reality of negotia-
tion, we shall never consider it other than as a blind,
and a trick to gain time, till the Austrian sabre is
ready to cut the knot of Italian freedom, and until
France had arranged the price which she is to receive
foe permitting it, England being, as usual, the go-
between, made use of, duped, and contemned by both
parties.

The legality of the grant may fairly be questioned.
It is tree that an opinion of the law snows of the
crown was submitted to the Colonial Secretary before
the grant we. made; bat the tenor sad terms of that
opinion lave been kept sewn, and the meanie in
which it was obtained is sespielons. On the other
hand, it may fairly be argued that over sines a fixed
civil list was granted to the crown in lien of its land
revenues, it is not in the power of the crown, or its
ministers, to confer grants of crown Leda either
upon companies or individuals without the moor-
rose and sanction of parliament. Certain it is that
the charters of New Beath Wales, South Australia,
and New Zealand, all rest upon acts of parliament.
The New Pulsed company obtained its lands in
consideration of the moneys it bad expended for
colonising purposes. In these circumstances we hold
that we an warranted in maintaining that the free grant
of Vancouver's Island to the Hudson's Bay Company
by the crown, having been made without the concur-
nue and sanction of parliament, is invalid. If this
view is correct, the colonial minister by whose advice
that gnat has been made has perpetrated an net at

(Cheers.) He frankly admitted that be believed govern-

view—that they were not outfit:featly impressed with the feet
that national glory did not necessarily depend on feats of
military prowess, nor on the number of victories obtained by
sea or land The glory of England was inseparably coasted
with one fact, and that was, that she maintained her station in

ether nations of the world. (Cheers.) The true glory of
Ragland was Inseparably connected with her pessful
triumphs over other nations, and the names of Newton,
Watt, and Hassell were as sacred in the hirory of the
country, and their position en hereditary distinction as
noble se was conveyed by the ammo of Marlborough, Wal-
lington, and Admiral Nelson. (Loud chess.) He should
be sorry to be misunderstood in the nature of the aid which
he believed an executive government might give to science.
He hoped that 'government would not give, and that wieners
would not receive, anything which might at all interfere
with the independenes of science itself, or personally with
its professors. He believed that the dignity of science
=silly depended on the preservation of that independence
which had hitherto marked it, and without which it would
be lost. (Hear.) He was not, however, ashamed to my he
could not help thinking that government might more mate- '
rally assist the ease of science than they had done at pre-
sent; not as master and slave, but as allies waging war
against ignorance, sad jointly engaged In the sonquest of

cheered on resuming hisseot.)
The health. of Sir Roderick Murchison and the Dean of
Westminster having been proposed and responded to, the
party broke up about 10 o'clock.
