A despatch from London saystâ€"In the House of Commons on Wednesday in proposing a resolution granting Field Marshal Earl Roberts £100,- 000 for his services in South Africa (in accordance with the recommenda- tion of King Edward, announced in the House of Lords by the Premier, Lord Salisbury, Monday last) A. J. Balfour, the Government leader, in the course of an eulogy of the Field Marshal, Whom he compared With such men as Collingwood, Nelson and Wellington, said there was no doubt that but for Lord Roberts’ daring and strategy, and the rapidity with which his pians were carried out, Kimberley and Mafeking would have fallen, 11,000 British would have been starved into submission at Lady- smith, and there would have been a. general rising of disloyalists in South Africa. Great Britain might have recovered therefrom, but at what a cost? The country was sav- ed from this by the genius of the man he now invited the House -to reward by a unanimous vote, irre- spective of political difierences : John Dillon, Irish Nationalist, strongly opposed the vote. He proâ€" tested against mentioning Lord Roâ€" berts in association with such men as Marlborough, Nelson, Colling- Wood, and Wellington. He declared Lord Roberts had shown the greatest inhumanity in South Africa and said he had employed barbarous methods and had proved himself a dismal fail- ure. The measure was passed by a vote of 281 to 73. " The» Livbeirall queader, Sir Henry Campbellâ€"Bannerman, c’oficufred in the motion. r GRANT T0 ROBERTS.

McBride, one of the visiting firemen frantic, and the ban- ner was torn down and burned amid: much enthusiasm. McBride, who claims he was exiled from Englamf owing to his outspoken sympathy for the Boers, hails from Adam’s Basin, a village on the Erie‘ Canal, near this city, and as a. member of the Deluge Volunteer Hose Company, went to Albion to participate in the annual convention and parade. The company to which he was attached had just turned into Main street when McBride sighted the English flag, and let out a. yell of derision.: As the company arrived under. the. flag McBride, accompanied by two stalwart firemen, ran out ofw the line, and the exile, mounting the shoulders of his companions, cut, down the banner.

As the grant_ is only made to those who were actually in the field, many of these applications may prove on ex~ amination not to be entitled to land. Evidences of Her Popnlarity Affect- ed Her Majesty. - A despatch from London says :â€" King Edward and Queen Alexandra. left London on Thursday afternoon for Cowes amid a scene of great en- thusiasm. They will remain during the regatta. Their presence at Cowes will practically mean a ces- sation of the formal period of court mourning as it will be the first sporting event attended by them since the death of Queen Victoria. The number is surprisingly large, however, and even if, say, only 6,000 are found to be entitled to the grant it Will take over forty townships, at 144 quarterâ€"sections to the townâ€" ship to hold them, and as only one quarter section in each section is to; be granted to a veteran, this means-: that 160 townshipswould be requir-§ ed. The veterans are to be given; their land free of general taxation for ten years, but if transferred to another party the land is subject to full taxation and settlement duties.' In any case the land is subject to the school taxes. A pronounced feature of the case is the number of veterans who intend to settle on their land, and in many cases'where the veterans themselves will not, go their sons will be placed on the farm. This promises a big migration to New On- tario when the grants are made out. The 'King and Queen rode. in an open carriage through an avenue of the King’s Life Guards, extending from Marlborough House to Victoria Station.
