! LONDON, Sept. SO.-Mr Cardwell, Secre-
I tary of War, in a speech 10 his constituents at
z Oxford, favored the confederation system in
( Canada as one that would be encouraged in
/ all English Colonies. He said the general
policy of governing the Colonies from home
/ was total failure, aud the Government mas
| substituted policy 10 encourage them, de-
/ velop their powers and resources. and stlmu-
I late them 10 q spirit of self-reliance. He
I showed how successful this policy has been
! in the case of Canada. BY this policy, he
I said, the Colonies have become a strength
and honor, and when the time comes, and
l England calls for support, her Colonies there
/ will be Confederation such as the world
never saw under a single sovereign.
/ The Times, in an editorial on the relations
/ of England to the United States, says: The
/ progress and result of the negotiations on
/ the Puget Sound question shows that Eng
lishmen and Americans can keep sufficiently
/ above the mists of national prejudices, and
apply common principles of equity TO the
settlement of internal difficulties. The work
/ was a trying one for the arbitrators, and any
/ decision would have been satisfactory. The
most agreeable feature of this negotiation is
the judicious temper displayed by the gen.
tlemen conducting the inquiry. The San
/ Juan and Alabama questions are the only
ones now left outstanding. These, If brought
I 10 arbitration BY the same hands, could
/ scarcely resist the anxiety Of their commission
/ TO do justice and equity, without fear, favor
or affection for their own country, which has
/ distinguished the arbitration of this claim.

I Canada, We are willing; If You desire indie
pendence, We don't say that the matter may
/ not be arTrnged, but disarm." Spain's motto
I is nothing but cOmpulsion.

/ turned from Paris, and delivered an address
/ before the Hertfordshire Agricultural Society
/ to night, In the course of which he acknow-
/ lodged that the subject of the tenure of land
was q momentous and vital one, but should
not be considered as a party question. The
I evils connected with the land system must
] be abated. The solution was difficult but
I not impossible, and the Government will not
adopt any wild or subyersive scheme. The
promoters of such plans were the enemies
/ Of all equitable settlement, and 20 friends to
I the Irish people. He asked if there was Ian
guage strong enough to condemn the land
I holder who elected a tenant labor and eX-
| penditures? This course was too often fol-
I lowed, and the evil must be sbated, He be-
l lieved the rights of property should be scru-
/ pulOusly upheld, and its duties rigidly en-
I forced by Law, and said the Government in
/ tended TO Introduce a measure which would
command the respect, and support the praise
! of every honest man.
