SPEECH OF LORD BURY AT TORONTO.

A public dinner as given to Viscount Bury. NJ r..
at Toronto, the 18th inst, and ne then delivered
speecb in which he said:
have seen statements copied from English papers
and printed here, TO the effect that am here On
political mission. Even the object Of that mission
was stated that IT, that come here TO feel the pulse
Of the Colonies with regard TO Federal Union CT the
provinces. Now think it only due Ia myseb 20 say
that there is not the slightest foundation whatever for
that refoit. am here in political capacity what
ever. Certainly great deal Of curiosity mas been
experienced in England as to what would be the fe.'
irgs Of the Canadian people with regard TO Federal
Union And perhaps such curiosity is natural, inas-
much ss the subject Of a Federal Union was made n
part Of a recent address from the throne. Cheers.
| have no doubt English Ministers participate in thN
feeling: and as | happen to be on very good terms
with many Of the Ministry, l will not scrupe on my
return home to communicate to them wha. conceive
to be the feeling Of the people Of Canada on the sub
jeet. tChesrs.
Indeed sh, nld rot discharge IT duty did not do

gagged on no political mission whatever. Gentlemen,

II an hes-~e must see how We can assist you, and
81 Goth down any distractions that msy be IN your
path. Cheers.
1t occurs to me that you want three things. You
want more rapid means Of communication between
one end Of the country and the other-so that the
whole province may be fully ana equally developed
Hear hear. ln order to secure this, you have
another want. The bone and snew to create those
means of transfer. And for that you want an organ
lied system Of emigration. Lastly-and here English
men can help you-yon wait to be drawn closer 10
Ergland's heat You in many respects close
enough there already. Cheers. But there Is yet q
something wanting. i can tell you that Ill the lew
wears have been away, Canada is becoming much
more generally k; own in Europe Information in re-
gard to Canada has become more widely dIffGsed.
But you sti want means Of annihiatng entirely

The only thing wanting is money; and on that
point feel that ull discussion must 6f course take
place. But the enterprises with which am connected
do not stop here. hope t. see railroad constituted

me that this is project which is very important -
Canada nasmuch as access to the seabosrd through
British territory can never be matter of Indifference
to Canada or the Mother Country. II is an lnparia
measure undoubieoy-and as such am authorized in
believing the lmperis Government look upon It. Aud
If we can briI about good understanding between
Canada Nova Scotia and N-wBrunswck. We shall
have very little difficulty in coming to q good under
