Sirjas. Mcßain, President of the Legislative Council entertained Lord Carnarvon at a banquet m the Queen's Hall last evening, at which the Governor and a large and distinguished company were present. Sir Henry Loch, m proposing the health of the guest of the evening, eulogised his services both as a statesman and for the sympathy he had always manifested m the welfare of the polonies. In reply, the Earl of Carnarvon declared that Australia was taking a ' pjape among 1 ' European nations. He congratulated the'country upon the settlement of the New Hebrides difficulty, which had only, he said, been achieved at the cost of Egypt and the Sue 2 Canal, and the latter was almost as important to Ausiralia as to England. His Lordship concluded by congratulating the colony upon the speedy progress which it made m the passage of the Naval Defence Forces Bill.
