I have admired the bald and tireless energy with which you have faced the diffculties of your present Lunis, It is unfortunately true that suspicion, prejudice, and self-sufficiency Gre peculiar traits of oduontid ̈ Chinozó, spoofally noticeable in their estimation of other countries-chings buse of the isolation of China from Westera iniuose for so many contarios; but whatever may be the asse, the lamentable affect is seon, in the presant back ward state of Clans among the nations of the world.

The scoial, educational, and official systems of Ching have tended to give to the educatul elasts control of the destinies of the nation. Whether anch a monopoly of power be good or bad nood not now be consilored; it exists, and the practi- cal question in how to tara itiato beneficent and useful Manuels.

(Leud cheers from the Conservativas.)

Sir William Karcourt then and that. Dalfoar' appeared to have entirely misconstrued the in. tention of the motion, While be, the speaker, could not describe the motion as a vote of, consure, he explained that there had book such. a thing us a vote of want of confidence in what the Government, it was setivipated, was likely to do.

Contiming, the Liberal tender said: “It is necesary to do this immediately, because after the Easter recess we may find the country embarked in war with Greece, without any declaration having been given to Parliament of the objects of the hostility.
