Sir Benry Irving began life tolerably low down in the ranks at the Colonial Office, where, however, he soon shewed posses- wion of considerable ability, and eventu- tually attracted the attention of the Heads of Departments. His career was commenced in 1854; for some years however he did no more than obtain ordinary office promotion in the third and second grade, and it was not until the year 1860 that he took a considerable stap in advance by obtaining the appoint ment of private Secretary to Sir Frede- rick Rogers, one of the permanent Under Secretaries of Stato for the Colonies. In 1868 he was nominated to the Colo- nial Secretaryship of the Island of Jamaica, where he won much popularity and distinguished himself by downright hard work; in May 1880, he was ap- pointed Colonial Secretary of Ceylon, where he remained until his appoint ment, in 1878, to the Governorship of the Leeward Islands. ・・

While Colonial Secretary of this Island under Sir Hercules Robinson, and afterwards under Sir William Gregory, he was deservedly popular and rendered himself a great favourites not only with the members of the Civil Service but with the outside public, by the genial strightforward manliness of his cha- racter, In Council he was not a bril- liant debater, but he spoke well and fluently and always to the purpose, never wearying his hearers. Bir Henry took a prominent part in the local dis- cussions on Railway Extension, and in the reform of our Currency, which he aided vory materially by the advice and sound arguments he brought to bear on these questions. For a short time in- terrening the departure of Sir Horaules Robinson and the arrival of Sir Wm. Gregory, he acted as the Officer Admi- nistering the Government, and it was during this period that he endeavoured to render Leylon a most important and lasting service. It was in this way-

The question of Railway Extension into the Coffee Districts had occupied the mind of the Planting Community for some time previous to the departure of Sir Hercules Robinson. Opinions were divided between a cheap low-level line that should suffice to tap a group of important districts and a high-level line to run through a greater portion of them but at a very much enhanced cast. Sir Henry, without waiting for the public to make up its mind, gave instructions to the Resident Engineer of our railway to make a trace at a low level, to be con- structed out of Surplus Revenue. The work was taken in hand, but before 8 p.m.-Chinhang leaves for Shanghai.much progress could be made Sir 4 p.m.--Bowen leaves for Singapore, William Gregory arrived, and, pressure
