So far as can be estimated, Canals had also about £34,000,000 of sea-borue Atlan ic trade with other British dominions and foreign coun- tries. Canada would, therefore, be interested in the success of the British squadrons employed in protecting trade in overy part of the Atlantic. That is to say, Canada is not only interested in the North American Squadron, but al a in the strength of the British fleet as a whole.
The cost of maintaining the British squadrons on these stations, exclusive of any interest or sinking fund on the first cest of hailding, is £32,000 per annum. This is included in the General Nasal Vote, which is borne by the United Kingdom, aided by annual payments by the Cape of Good Hope of 130,000, and by Natal of £12,000.

No chapters of Mr. Balfour's career are moro interesting at this moment than these which deal with Ireland. If it should be the lot of the present Prime Minister to pass at some future date & Home Rale Bill for Ireland (and many more unlikely predictions could be made), he will be able-with equal apparent difficulty, but not with less colour, than in the case of Mr. Glad- tone-to pat in a claim for lifelong consistency. He has been a Coercionist, but so for that matter was Mr. Gladstone. Yet he combined the polisy of coercion with that of promoting, by the in- strumentality of the State, the material once said, to attempt to sol up a logisialure in Ireland; yes, but criminal, he added, “until this agrarion question be finally put out of the way."
