hoped when he returned to this country in May he
would visit with me the gardens and the buildings of
ancient Oxford— (eheers)L-" and then," I said,
" you may report to your constituents, from your
own experience, how worthy is the city whose name
yam have adopted, and how great is the reputation
which it enjoys among the cities of the ancient
world.". But, as I was saying, in a spirit of the
most fervent loyalty to the British Throne, in a
close attachment to the British Crown, and in de-
votion to British institutions; they have desired to
form all the northern provinces of the eastern coast
into one great confederation. An assembly washeld,
composed of delegates comprising all parties, who
adopted unanimous resolutions, which resolutions
were reported to the Government of their Sovereign:
I believe it is well understood by youlthat the Govern-
ment of this country lost no time in expressing to them
their cordial sanction and approval of the proceed-
ings which had taken place at the conference. I
believe that it will have your support, and the sup-.
port and approval of the entire community.
(Cheers.) It now remains for the Legislatures of

the respective provinces to decide on the course

which they will adopt, and the ultimate decision
will be reserved for the Imperial Parliament.
(Hear.) But I think you will agree with me that it
will be a very satisfactory day for the mother coun-
try if those communities which have grown up under
her throne shall be united into a great and powerful
community, with all that independence which be-
longs to the British race, and able and willing to
make sacrifices and exertions in their own defence,
and ready to take their place among the powerful
communities of the world. (Cheers.) Gentlemen,
it is given to other countries to be great and power-
ful empires, but it has been given to England alone to
be also the mother of great and free communities.
In the last century we governed our colonies with
too much regard to our own views, and too little
regard to their views and interests. The result was
a disastrous and discreditable conflict, and in the
end we were compelled to say what we had much
better have avowed in the beginning, " Wayward
children, depart in peace." There is no subject
of the Queen of England who wishes now to de-
part from the British Constitution. What the
policy of coercion could not do, the policy of
confidence has effected. (Hear.) But some people
say, " Well, but you are now taking the other
extreme, and are governing your colonies too much
for the benefit of the colonies, and too much at
the cost of the mother country." Well, lam ready

to admit, and I am sure the colonies will assent,
that no permanent and enduring connexion can
be formed upon that basis and that principle. But
what the colonists will be ready to assent to, and
what we shall be prepared to go along with them to
establish, is a connexion founded upon the endur-

ing principles of mutual sympathy, of mutual inte-
rest, of mutual advantage ; and I believe that Eng-
land may be proud to be the parent of such colo-
nies, and that. the day may come in future when
they will be both able and willing to repay the as-
sistance and protection which they have received
from the mother country, and when England,
speaking as the parent of those distant communi-
ties, may say she will be glad to have her quiver
full of them, and she will not be ashamed when she
speaks with her enemy at the gate. (Hear, hear.)
I have now occupied you a long time, but I wish to
say a few words on a subject of great interest to
the people of Oxford. It is a queStion affecting
more correctly the University, but on that account
of great interest to you, the citizens of Oxford.
You are aware that the rules with regard to the
admission to the University of Cambridge are
in some respects more favourable than the
rules with respect to the admission to the
University of Oxford, and that in the last session

Parliament a friend of mine, the lion. member
for Sussei, a most distinguished inenirierOf the
University, brought in a bill which would have had
the effect of remedying that mischief. In support-
ing that bill my hon. friend and colleague took and
distinguished part. If that bill had been limited
to that purpose I have little doubt that it would
have been carried. I should have cordially re-
joiced in its success. But the authors of the bill
went further, and it was ultimately not successful.
But the decision then come to did not deter me
from giving it my support in the final stages
in the House of Commons. I think it right to say
plainly that in my judgment, these tests which ex-
clude many from joining the University- of Oxford,
are most readily taken by those who care little 'about
the subjects they concern. I feel the great import-
ance of keeping in the foreground all the truths of
religion in the training of youth, but I think the
time of earnestness will never be the time of perfect
unity of opinion. According to the old saying, the
dead fish floated only with the stream. Wherever
there was earnestness there would be divergence,
and I wish we may look in the conflict in which we
are engaged mere closely on the great points in
which we are agreed, and less to the points on
which we unfortunately differ—(cheers)—and that
we may combine in harmonious action to fight the
great battle shoulder to shoulder in which we are
engaged against the common enemy. (Hear.) I
will now bring my remarks to a close. It is not -so
certain that 70 years is the life of man as that seven
years is the termination of the life of a Parliament,
and there cannot be any doubt that the present
Parliament is rapidly approaching its close. I
think we may say of it that it has accomplished
something, and when it has gone it may be num-
bered not unworthily with its predecessors. It is
quite true that we have not performed all that was
expected from us. We certainly have not settled
the question of Parliamentary Reform—(hear,
hear)—a question that has been too difficult
for many successive Governments and successive
Parliaments. But this may be said of the
present Parliament—that during the course
of it the Navy has been to a great extent recon-
structed, the army has been to a great extent re-
armed, the great arsenals of the country have been
fortified and secured against surprise, the volunteer
force has been raised and placed upon a permanent
and secure footing, the Royal Naval Reserve—a
force in itself no mean protector to an insular coun-
try—has been called into existence, and is now in
a state of complete efficiency. (Cheers.) In the
meantime, our income-tax has been reduced one-
third, many articles which encumbered our tariff
have been swept away, and our tariff now consists
of very few articles. (Hear.) The great articles
of consumption of the poorer classes have been the
subject of reduction of taxation. We have now a
buoyant revenue—we have an industrious and a
prosperous population, and I think we may say that
during the present Parliament we have avoided war
and have remained at peace. (Cheers.) During
that
time I believe no member has had so much occasion
to be indebted to his constituents as I have. Four
successive times you have placed mein the position
•
which I have the honour to occupy ; and I most
cordially and sincerely thank you for this and the
other marks of kindness which you have shown me
I thank you
on this and every other occasion, and
most especially and most sincerely for the manner
in which you have received me on the present occa-
sion. (Cheers.)
Mr.
also responded to the toast,
expressing
his general concurrence in the remarks
which had fallen from his right hon. colleague.
NE AT E , A 1.P.,
Several other toasts were afterwards given and
responded to.

THE TIN STANDARD.—The smelters have made
a further reduction in the prices of tin, which are now as
follows :—Common ingots and blocks, 97s ; common bars,
98s ; refined blocks, 100 s ; grain blocks, 1036 ; fine grain
blocks, 107 s ; fine ditto, granulated, 109 s ; fine ditto, bars,
ills. This further reduction has been brought about to a
great extent by several lots having been forced on the
market in order to reduce the stocks before the close of the
year. Unless the demand materially improves no advance
ie expected for some time.
