Lord Milner, who was loudly cheered moved a vote of thanks to Mr Deakfa whom he complimented in tta wVmest terms, dwelling 0 „ his ama.ing IS or work and the immensity of tClaboms of the pnst weokij.

Mr Deakin was commonly supposed to have been treated to a certain amount of official cold water, but probably he did not expeot anything else, and he had been more tlinn compensated by the warmth of the welcome he was certain to receive in any assembly of unofficial Britons to whatever part of the world he goes. Ho has won himself a permanent place in the minds, and affection of the British people. (Cheers.) Lord Roberts also thanked Mr Dsakln. ,
