evening to the Earl of DufIerin,
Governor General of the Canadian
Dominion. The Earl, in response
to toast, said the prevailing
passion OfCanadians was a desire to main
tain intact their connection with England.

or universally of this sentiment. He
expatiaied on the friendly relations be-
tween Canada and the United States, and
said every thoughtful citizen of the United
States was convinced that the fate of Can
ady is unalterably fixed, and cOntemplates
the fate Of Canada with generous enthu-

In the House Of Commons this evening,
Lord Hamilton, Under Secretary Of Safe
for India, in reply to an enquiry of Grant
Duff, touching the difficulty between Great
Britain and Burmah, said the earlier mat
tiers in dispute had been satisfactorily ar
ranged, but the murder Of Margerry, ne
cessitated the governments insisting that
the King of Burmah should give every IA
cility for the punishment of offenders. The
King had refused to permit the passage of
English troops through Burmah, but Lord
Hamilton hoped that be would yield to
the representations Of the British envoy
and thus prevent collision.
Disraeli made a statement in regard to
the contemplated visit Of the Prince Of
Wales to India. He said simplicity suita-
bic to a visit TO the colonies would not be
in place for a journey through India,
though the ViceOry had intimated that the
custom Of making ceremonial presents need
not be o. served. Yet the Prince must be |
placed in position to exercise generosity |
and display splendOr. IL would, however, |
be undignifed to enter into discussion upon |
this point. His ROYAL HighneSs will start |
for India on the 18th Of October, and his |
visit will last six months. The expendi- |
ture, to insure necessary pOmp and dig |
nity, would be $4,000.
