JULY 27,

The British Empire

Lorp Durrertn was, a short ago, entertained in London by the **Empire Club.” and delivered the tollow- ing speech :—

“My Lor and Gentlemen : In rising to return my warmest thanks for the kind manner in which you have drunk my health, I cannot help asking myself with some anxiety what title I possess to the f my entertainers. Your chair-

ds

good will '

man has been pleased to refer in very flat-| ;.

tering that the reason of our cordiality is further to seek than anything which can be found in his indulgent observations, (Cries ‘“-No.”) My hosts on the present occasion are the members of the Empire Club, and | think Tam not wrong in jecturing that Iam indebted for the signal honor which you have conferred upon me not so much to

of cot

my individual merits, as to the fact that for the last twelve years of my lite 1 have been unremittingly occupied in promoting and maitanining the imperial as distinguished from the domestic interests of our common country— (cheers)— in Canada, at St. Peters- burg, at Constantinople, and in Egypt—I ean conscientiously say that home politics, with all their irritating associations, have faded away from my view, and that my one thought by day and night has been to safe-

guard, to protect and te extend the honor, |

and the cominerce of Eng- foreign countries, or else closely together those regard by which she is

the influence Jand in relation to to draw eatill more ties of affectionate

united to one of her most powerful, most loyal, and most devoted colonies. (Loud cheers.) Well, then, gentlemen, under these circurmstances, I think I may be

pardoned if L have come to look at England —this spectral isle, this earth of majesty,

this other Eden, this demi-paradise, this happy breed of men, this pre- cious stepe set in a_ silver sea— not as she displays herself in the recrimina‘ory warfare of Parliamentary strife, or in the polemical declamation of

the platform, but in an aspect seftened by distance and regarded as the happy home of anoble and united people, whom it is an honor to serve, and for whose sake it would be a privilege to make the greatest sacrifices. (Leud cheers.) I do not say ethis in any spirit of selfish and vulgar Jingoism, although I must admit that by their profession ambassadors and colonial governors are bound to be alittle Jingo. (Cheere.) I have come to regard England in the same light as she is regarded by those great communities who are carrying her laws, her liberties, her constitutional institutions, and her language into every portion of the world, many of whuse most distinguisied representatives are present here to-night, and to whom it is the special function of this club to extend the right hand of brotherhood and affection. (Cheers. ) Gentlemen, Il am well aware that many of our most influential thinkers are almost disposed to stand sghast at the accumul- ative responsibility and increasing calls upon our resources, entailed by England's imperial position. Certainly, the outlook counsels both prudence, and, above all, preparation. After all, the lives of nations and individuals in many respects resemble each other, and each of us is aware that his burden of care, anxiety and responsi- bility gathers weight and strength in pro- portion to the expansion of his faculties, the accumulation of his wealth, the energy of his endeavors, and the extension of his in- fluence. Why, gentlemen, even the child- ren that people our homes are so many hostages given to fortune, and the wifes of our bosem—I say this beneath my breath— are very apt each of them to open a start- ling chapter of accidents— (a lavgh)—but what man of spirit bas ever turned his back upon the opportunity, or refused to enter upon the tender obligations of a love- lit fireside from fear of increasing the res- ponsibilities entailed by a fulier, ampler, and more perfect existence. (Cheers.) But my lords and gentiemen, even did she de- sire it, 1 believe that the time is too late in England to seek to disinherit herself of that noble destiny with which | firmly believe she has been endowed. The same hidden hand which planted the tree of constitu- tional liberty within her borders, and thus called upon her to become the mother of parliaments, has sent forth her children to possess and fructify the waste places ot the earth. How a desert in every direc- tion has been turned into a paradise of lenty those who are present can best tell. believe that great as have been the changes which have already occurred, our children’ are destined to see even still more glorious accomplishments. One of the greatest statisticiane of medern times. a man of singularly modest judgment, has calculated that ere the next century has reached its close, the English speaking pop- ulation of the globe will have exceeded 100 millions of human beings. Of these, in all probability forty millicns will be found in Oatiada alone, and an equal proportion alopg the coast of Africa and in our great Australian possessions. If these great communities are united in a common bond of interest, if they are co-ordinated and impelled by a common motive, what an enormous influence, as compared with that of any otler nationality, whether for good or evil, whether considered from a moral or from a _ material peint of view, are they destined to exer- cise? (Cheers.) But, gentiemen, that they will remain Englishmen who can doubt. (Cheers.) The chops and changes on an accelerated momentum of human progress forbid all accurate prediction. These enor- mous forces, operating over such a large space, cefy all prescience and human wisdom to direct the current of events; but one thing at all events, is certain, and that is that these great communities will be deeply impresse:| by English ideas, by Eng- lish literature, oy English institutions and by English habits of thought. (Cheers.) That this will lurg continue to be the case, ia I am sure, the earnest wish of those who Tam addressing. (Cheers.) It is their de- sire that our statesmen should so conduct the relations of this country with their colonial dependencies as to cherish and mantein those effectionate ties by which they are so remarkably and distinctly bound to the mother-country. One thing at all events is ccrtain, that the people of England will never allow their Gov- ernment to repeat the error which result- ed in the separation of the United BYates. (Chvers.)

THE DAILY BEXA

present relations with the great trans- Atlantic Republic, it is certain that had it lnot been for the violent disruption that oveurred those rela‘ions would now have been more mutually advantageous. The ‘catastrophe, unhappily, was brought about 'by the Ministry of the day being incapable of appreciating and understanding the force and@direction of colonial sentiment. Now, | I believe that statesmen can make no great- er mistake than not to accurately compre-

jhend the enormous part which sentiment

terms to my public service, but I tear

inlays in human affairs.

'

(Hear, hear.) A far greater number of the wars, which have devastated &the globe, have been produced and generated by outraged sentiment than by the pursuit of material advantages. Even commerce itself—the most unsenti- mental and matter of-fact of interests— ; wont for long periods of time to fullow in the track of customs, habits,and sentiment. This was a fact which for a long time the English people failed comprehend. 1 hey failed to comprehend the desire which the colonies had to have their kin- ship recognized. Happily, however, the increased facilities of communication, and the necessities and exigencies of trade have changed all this, and I believe that now

to

‘there is not a man in England who does zot

understand, and to whose imagination it has not been forcibly brought home, that beyond the cireuit of the narrow seas which confive this island are vast territories, in- habited by powerful communities who are actuated by ideas similar to his own, who are proud to own allegiance to Queen Vic- toria, whose material resources are greater

than those possessed by his own country, and whose ultimate power may, perhaps, exceed the power of

Great Britain. And yet those great com- munities of noble,* high-spirited, industri- ons Englishmen, if only they are properly dealt with, and if only their feelings and just exigencies are duly considered, will never have a higher ambition than to be allowed to continue as co-heirs with Eng- land in her ilustrious career—(cheers)— essociated with her in her gigantic empire, and sharersin her fortunes,whether they be for good or evil, until the end of time. (Cheers.) Gentlemen, such are the senti- ments and opinions which I believe this club has been founded to encourage and propagate, and I felt that in raising to re- turn thanks for the great and signal honor which you have done me, and for which realiy I cannot find words sufficient to thank you, I could not do so in a more ac- ceptable monner than by telling you with what enthusiasm and with what sincerity of conviction I myself subscribe to these sentiments. (Loud cheers.)

There was a very numerous and dis- tinguished gathering on the occasion and Canada was well represented, Sir Charles Tupper, Sir John Rose, the Hon. A. Mackenzie, the Hon. Donald Smith, Mr. Sandford Fleming, Mr. Henry Cawthra, Col. Deanis, Col. T. H. Grant, Mr. R. G. Watson, and Mr. J. G, Colmer being among the guests.

—The price of grey cottons in Canada at the present time is as low as the price of grew cottons in Manchester. The contention, therefore, that under pretec- tion we pay for our own manufactured articles their value, and the amount of the duty is therefore disposed of. Had we a low tariff to-day instead of a com- paratively high one we would, instead of ‘purchasing our grey cottons in Canada, be probably buying in England, paying for them the Manchester or the present Canadian prices, besides the cost of transhipment and the duty eXtra.

Tuese beautiful lines were among the many tekens of public sympathy sent to the bereaved widow of the Hon. William Elder :

‘*There remaineth, therefore, a rest for the people of God.”—Hebrews, IV. chapter, 9th verse.

Life’s race well run,

Life’s work all done,

Life’s victory won, Now cometh rest.

Sorrows are o’er,

Trials no more,

Ship reacheth shore, Now cometh rest.

Faith yields to sight,

Day follows night,

Jesus gives light, Now cometh rest.

Wea while wait,

But soon or late

Death opes the gate, Then cometh rest.

Serrine THE Earra to Work.—Scientific men in Japan are now discussing the pos- sibility of utilizing the internal heat of the earth. Ata recent meeting of the Seismo- logical Society Mr. Milne read a paper, in which he said that the fact that there was an unlimited supply of energy in the in- terior of the earth had been generally over- looked, although portions of it crop out in countries like Japan, Iceland, and New Zealand in the form of hot springs, solfataras, volcanoes, etc. He stated that there is an unlimited supply of water in hot springs within radius of 100 miles around T.kio, and that the heat of these springs should be converted into an electric current and transmitted to towns and business or manufacturing centres.

A Young Fire Fiend. A BOY WHO WOULD BURN CHARLOTTETOWN ‘* POR FUN.”

Jounyy Hateu, nine years of age, is the adopted son of John Batch, Town Crier. Johnny, in his youth, has manifested great admiration for thrilling scenery. A sight of Mont 42tna or Vesuvius would make his heart rejoice, but as Prince Edward Island cannot afford ‘‘grand blazes” like these, Johnny contents himself with blazes much more miniature. He is accused of setting the fire of Sunday night, but this accusation the young fiend denies with youthful in- dignation, while he cheerfully confesses to setting fire to the Police Station on Friday night, and attempting to set fire to William Kennedy’s ice house in rear of Monaghan’s brick buildings, last evening. To the Sti- pendiary Magistrate this morning, Johnny confessed as follows:—

Iam nine years of age. <A pretty good boy. Go to Kent Street School, can reed a little. I am fond of starting fires. The last fire I started was alongside of Ken- nedy’s ice-house. “T'was just a little fire outside. It went out. Goody Hogan told me to start it. It was not me that started it. I got the sticks and Goody Hogan set the fire. The fire, if it had burned, would destroy the building. I did not start the fire at J. D. McLeod’s. I was not there when it started. [ do not know who got into the hole in J. D.’s stable. It was not me. Ab. Allan was around. He wentinto the yard and came out shortly before the fire. It was dark in Hatche’s on Friday night last. I got amatch and set fire to some paper and it set fire to the house. It was not Hatch who set fire to the house. I was playing at J. D's on Sunday evening. Ab. Allan was not there then. He came there about nine o’clock and went into the yard. Ten minutes after Allan came out the fire broke out. [To find out the boys idea of time, the Magistrate asked him how long he had been making his statement. He answered, about five minutes, which was pretty correct.] It was not old man Hatch that set the fire at McLeod’s. It was not nie. I do not know whether Ab. Allan set tire to J. D. McLeod's.

Johnny Hatch will remain for the present in custody, and Goody Hogan, who is 15 years of age, and Ab. Allan will be arrested and examined to-morrow.

Wreck of the Bark ‘ Marcopolo.”’

Capt P. A. Bull, of Christiania, arrived in this city to-day, from Cavendish. He reports the loss of his bark at Caverdish Capes as follows:—The ‘‘Marcopolo’’ sailed from Quebec for London, on the 19th inst. She was loaded with 628 standard of pine deals. She had variable weather until Tuesday last when she encountered a very heavy gale of wind from the east. During

the gale, the veesel sprung a leax and made water very test. The donkey pumps were worked energetically all the time, but failed to keep

the water out. The Captain and crew did all in their power to save the vessel, but found it impossible to do so, They there- fore concluded to strand heron P.E.L. She struck at Cavendish Cape at 9 o'clock on Wednesday morning the 25th. The weather was so heavy and the sea ran so

high on the beach that the crew could not be saved for twenty-

four hours afterwards. The captain and crew landed yesterday. The crew were destributed among the farm-houses at Cavendish. The ship is a total wreck. Her hull and cargo will be sold for the benefit of all coneerned. She was 1,511 tons, was built at St. John, N. B., and was owned by the captain.
