Some idea of the importance of the news from Canada
may be ga- thered from the following communication in the Court Circular—.
" Viscount Melbourne arrived in town at twelve o'clock yesterday, from Windsor Castle. His Lordship visited Lord Gleuelg at his residence his Great George Street."
But the ease and despatch with which the vigorous Premier gets through the most important affairs, also appears from the concluding sentence of the same paragraph-
" The noble Viscount left town at half-past four o'clock, on his return to Windsor Castle."
Three hours and a half were quite sufficient for the Canadian mat. ter; and et the Royal dinner-table, Melbourne, " The nation's great support," again appeared, no doubt as placid and insinuating as ever. It is not credible that he lost a *nitride of the customary evening nap, in which he indulges himself at IVindsor, as elsewhere.
