Ga comparing this treaty with of those which
have preceded it, we find ii remarkable for the fuller
deveoPemen which given TO several of these prnci-

concluded the 18th of June 324 stated in its
article, that the High Contracting Parties had mutv-

respective colonies, but that the colonial trade should
remain on the same footing, as is the Convention had
never been included. On tile contrary, the Swedish
treaty contains two articles, te sixth and SEVENTH pro.
vIdng for the trade with the British colonies with the
exception OF the East ndcsG; and two other articles

East India trade.

Sttte Of Education inE}unce.-Tte following j, a
curious statement made by the Bishop of IIcrrnopus

the share of IT possessed by the Jebus.
The Minister for Ecclesiastical Affairs addressed the
Chamber. There was time, You know when the
