Captain Burton, who, on rising-, was greeted with loud and protracted cheering 1, said : "My Lord Stanley, my Lords and Gentlemen, It falls to the lot of few men to experience a moment so full of gratified feeling- as this, when I rise to return thanks for the honour you have done me on this, to me, most memor- able occasion. I am proud to see my poor labours in the cause of discovery thus publicly recognized by the representative of England's future greatness. The terms of praise which have fa...llen from your lordship's lips are far above my present deserts, yet I treasure them grate- fully in my memory as coming from one so highly honoured, not only as a nobleman, but as a man. I am joyed when looking round me to see so many faces of friends who have met to give me God-speed to see around me so many of England's first men, England's brains, in fact ; men who have left their mark upon the age men whose memories the world will not willingly let die. These are the proudest laurels a man can win, and I shall wear them in my heart of hearts that I may win more of them on my return.
