CANADA VIRTUALLY INDEPENDENT.
LONDON, Aug. 26.-The Times in referring
to the condition of the British Colonies, says
Canada is is in all respects independent, and
she is fitted to become SO. She has the insti
buttons of a great power and it is a fair subject
of inquiry whether she might not assume her
appropriate position.

REJECTION OF THE BURLINGAME TREATY.
The Star in an article on the rejection of the
American treaty by China, shows that the
treaty secured substantial advantages for the
Chinese, while America dsclaimed any inter-
ference with their internal administration. 1t
cannot ue supposed that the Pekin government
should yield to the pressure of Minister Bur-
lingame's enemies who represent to it that the
convention is at variance with the traditions
of toe country, is not surprising. 1t now re-
mains to be seen whether Mr.. Burlingame or
Mr. Browne reflects the mind and purpose of
President Grant.
The Standard thinks the Chinese in refusing
to endorse the agreement, show that they are
not animated by the impulses which Mr.. Bur-
lngame declared they possessed, and hopes
their action will lead him to abandon functions
which secure neither honor tor himself nor
benefit for the world at large.
