The nine-months Ministerial crisis in Canada is said to be

over : lists of the new Ministry are given ; and although not gazetted, its general composition seems to be placed beyond doubt, The cast of it will surprise some people in this country : it includes the redoubtable name of PAPINEAII, borne by a brother of the quondam rebel leader; and the man himself is expected in the province to support the new Ministers against the late Ministers, who so com- promised themselves and Liberal opinion in the province by their extravagant blundering about " responsible government." The facts are too uncertain for much to be said about the probable working of the new Cabinet ; but it appears likely to conciliate the French Canadians, whose concurrence must be so important to any Governor.
