(Cheers) No one. I fan, can be more conscious than myself how greatly in excess of my deserts are your kind remarksâ€"(no, no)â€"â€"but. on that very ac- count, they are all the more grateful to my feelings. as incontestahly proving the large amount of personal friendship which must have contributed to inspire them. I shall never forget the way in which. six years ago, you welcomed my appointment to the Gov- ernor Generalship of Canada. and started me on my career. Your indulgent anticipaticns on that occasion served the purpose of a most effectual letter of credit to our fellow- subjects on the other side of the Atlantic, and insured me a sympathetic re- ception at their hands ; and I can truly say that one of my most cherished desires has been to deserve the good character you then bestowed upon me. To find on returning that I have not fallen short of your anticipa- tions, that my conduct has merited your approval, is the most precious reward I can receive. 1 have also to thank you for the kind terms in which you allude to the Ooun. tess of Dufferin. It would not become me to refer to the way in which she discharged the functions appertaining to her responsi- ble position. Those amongst you who have been in Canada will have become aware of the feelings with which the people of the Dominion of Canada regard her. (Cheers) In conclusion. I must ask you to excuse the imperfect manner in which I have replied to your address. This is not an occasion upon which any one would trust himself to say much, and. even if it were, the hurried nature of my morning's journey would have rendered any expression of thanks in- adequate. I can only say that I shall never forget the degree of happiness your reception has given me, and that I look forward with the greatest pleasure to devote my best ener- gies to promote. by every means in my power, the interest and wishes of the people of Bel- fast.

(From the London World ) Ladies who a few years ago would have considered the idea appalling calmly array themselves in the glorified dressing robe known as a “ tea gown " and proceed to dis. play themselves to the eyes of their admirers. The reason. perhaps. is not Very far to seek. Certain adventurous dames who determined some years since on the invasion of man's last stronghold, the smoking-room, arrayed themselves for conquest in bewitching robes ‘de chambre. Their less enterprising sisters, ?not quite daring to follow them to nocturnal extremities, were unwilling to be defrauded of the Opportunity of adding another weapon to the arsenal of the toilet. hence the origin of the tea gown. 0! course it in no way re. sembles the dressing-gown of utility. It is of elaborate design and infinite cost. It is worn for about an hour in the day, and yet, in a country-house visit of a week, the same must on no account be exhibited more than twice, if, indeed. so much may be allowed. It is absolutely useless and utterly ridiculous; but this is not the worst that may be said about it. It is to all intents and purposes a dcehabille ; and so great is the force of association that the conversation is ex- ceedingly apt, nay almost certain, to become duhabille as well. The gentlemen in houses where tea gowns prevail relieve themselves of their shooting attire. and to appear very frequently in gorgeous smoking-suits; there is an ease and sons facon about the whole proceeding that favors laxity of discourse, and advantage is generally taken of the latitude afiorded. At their first beginning teappowns only put in an appearance when the beverage from which they take their name was dispensed in the hostess' boudoir, and only a rare and favored specimen of the Opposite sex was admitted on snfierance. But such old-fashioned prudery has long been thrown aside in the eager desire for more admirers of such becoming raiment ; the tea~gowna have descended to the drawing-room and the hall. and have become more marvellous and more voyant in the transit. With the graceful neglige toilet there has come in a habit of lounging, which is certainly of most doubtful grace. Hands are not nnfrequently to be seen clasped above or behind the head. thus often liberally ex- hibiting the arm by the falling back of the‘ loose sleeve; feet and ankles are lavishly dis- played as dainty alippers are rested on the fender. More ardent spirits recline in osten- tatious repose on various sofas. It is con. sidered the thing to suit the action to the attire and exhibit in it the supremacy of ease. In some very Bohemian establishments it is voted a bore to dress again for dinner; that meal is partaken at in the easy masquerading attire, and, safe not unnatural sequel, there is a prompt adjournment to the smoking room and a brisk demand by the ladies for cigar- ettes.

I need hardly state that 8here Ali declined to entertain the proposition, but it may surprise your readers to learn that Sir Louie Polly went so far as to declare that all the honorable pledges with reference to sub sidies and arms which had been given the Ameer and his father should be withdrawn unless he assented to the terms of the treaty. The Foreign Office never published the treaty. but it endeavored to prove that the Polly mission was successful. inasmuch as it was intended only as a ruse, and consequently with the same intent a failure. They contended (the authorities in our Foreign China) that as the British found their verbal bargain with Afghanistan inconvenient, our diplomatists had put that bargain into a treaty, which they so concocted as to render its repudiation by Shore All a certainty, and in this way we were assured that they had triumphantly got rid. by abit of mean chicanery. o! the obliga- tion which the original bargain embodied. Pelly returned to England in pretended triumph. We were told that the Ameer would he forced to sue for an alliance, and that the mere cutting oil‘ of his subsidies would compel him to capitulate. How stands the matter now? Appearances look very much against his suing or surrendering. But Sir Neville Chamberlain's mission would make it appear that the boot was on the other foot. This is British diplomacy! The Ameer has beaten us in :Afghan diplomacy.

How- ever. having taken up the matter in my former letter. I am bound to conclude it. Therefore I will take up the Aighan ques- tion from the thread where I left oil at. The bungling. I think, was what I commented upon in our administration 0! sflairs Aighan. In addition to those blunders I enumer- ated in my former letter. a clause in an old Treaty was dug out which conferred the right of the British to occupy Quettah in Beluchi- atan. Quettahtwes occupied. thre Ali's tury knew no bounds. Such an act was looked upon as demonstrative ot an advance next made upon Horst. and Cabul. Russiaâ€"never slothtulâ€"took‘ advantage of the Ameer'e irritation. Communications passed between Russian emiessries and the Court of Gebulofiering the Ameer an allowance, at the sametime pointing out that there was another claimant to the throne living under Russian protection in Central Asia. Keeping this in view they admonished the Ameer that it would be bet- ter to come to terms. Abdoul Ruhman, a nephew 0! the present sovereign, is the claimant I reier to. Both the English and Russian Governments deny any knowledge of such a proposition. but that such was made cannot be truthfully denied by Russia. At the time the whole of the aflection of the Ameer towards the great ncrthern povver was ‘ attributed to the influence of “ Ruesian gold " instead of the peculiarity~I will not give it a 1 more harsh termâ€"oi English diplomacy. At that time an occupation of Aighanidan wee looked upon both at home and in India as im- mincat. Bir Lewis Pelly was thereupon ac- credited with the charge of a mission to the Ameer. but the least said or written with regard to the scent treaty with which he went armed the better. Under ialse pretences we Were on the verge of occupying Afghan- ietan, thus compelling Russia to make a counter move and enable us to declare war against the Emperor. The scheme. as is pretty generally known here. was defeated consequent upon Shere Ali repudiating the terms oflered him by Sir Lewis Pally. The letter suggested that as preliminary of the new arrangement between Great Britain and Afghanistan all past and existing under. standings as to subsidies and the like should be swept away and both parties should start atresh. On this being agreed to, Sir Lewis produced the bases oi the secret treaty he was empowered to ask Share Ali to sign. and although the Government have used every endeavor against the publication of the document I am in a position to lay some at the climate before your readers: “A strong guard of British troops abould be stationed at tho Amaet’e Court for the protgotioqol a Britiph Resident. fl “ That English officers should be permitted to 953.“??? ‘39.! discipjing the Agegr’a army. ‘l‘ho Alain-Inu- Dunc-vi".
