DtTlf'FF.,RIel IN INDIA.
No British representative in Canada
raver won. the affeetiona or good will
of the,Qanadian people to, perhaps: even
as great an extent as did Lord utfer'
in. His. dipinwatie shrewdness, his
cautiousness, his wide acquaintance
'WLth.pttblio affairs, his thrilling eloqu-
enceehis• geniality ofdisposition all
combined to render him an especial favor
Ito with Cavi dian people, His opinion
carries weight and his utterances are
full of interest wherever expressed.
A recent address on the extent, re-
sources, development, government
social oonditio.is and prospective future'
of India is worthy of notice.. We
submit .a few facts gleaned therefrom :
India is au Empire equal in size, if
Russia be excluded, to the entire Gin
tinent of Europe, with a population of
240,000,00 seals,, composed of a lar>e
number of distinct nationalities, pro-
fessing various religions, practising
divers rites and speaking different
languages. The census report says
there aro 106 different Indian tongues,
not dialects. The most patent peoul-
iarity of our Indian gismos is its
ttiv'ision into two rnighty political
communities—the Hindoos, number-
ing 290,000,000 aud the ?Lahommed.
ens 60,f100,000, whose distinctive
characteristics, religions, social and
ethnological, it is unnecessary to
mention. Among thein are found,.
all the various stages iaf-oivilisa

passed from prehstoricages to the salary and the balance ,for maintenance
present time. At one end of
ing. Consequently it may be, said
that of a population of 200,000,000
only a very few thousand cn.ty be
considered to possess an adequate
qualification for taking, ,an intelligent
