e homilies and lectures that were too often read by our ministers to foreign States, and which were infinitely more agreeable to the compilers than to the receivers. He also deprecated the conduct of those who ransacked the newspapers for the purpose of putting questions in that House which were of no possible use, and were received by foreign countries with great dissatisfaction. He entirely agreed with what was said in the vacation speech of the right honorable member for Huntingdon, (General Peel.) that such intermeddling tended to produce a general feeling of dissatisfaction towards this country on the continent, and led foreigners to say, in their hearts at least, with Orlando, "I do desire that we should be better strangers." But when a proclamation repugnant to decency, civilization, and humanity; had been-promulgated and put in force against a people endeared to us by every tie of family, language and religion, then he did think we had a right to protest against such an

Slowly the procession crept by us, for the people miles off were blocking the way to cheer the hero. As the banners passed I interested myself in observing the immense number of Societies, Unions, Clubs, &c., whose existence was indicated. Societies passed with all sorts and kinds of symbols — suns, moons, stars, ladders, fishes, implements, tools, birds, beasts, men, women, Shakespeare, Peel, Kings, Queens, all these, amid showers of symbols, passed by on flags whose age announced that they were societies of long standing. But, alas for the teetotalers, only one poor little temperance flag passed, and that, I am bound to say, was greeted with loud and real laughter.
