A NEW WORK ON THE AMERICAS !—Viscount
Berry is preparing a work on North and South America,
which will narrate the emigrations of the various European
nations—Dutch, Spanish, English, and French— into Ame-
rica, from the sixteenth century.
CDARACTER OF LORD ELGlN.—Wherever he
went, and it was his fate that in the four different
spheres in which his lot was cast the same relations were
constantly reappearing, it was his fixed determination that
the interests of the eubject races should be protected from
the impatience or violence of his fellow-countrymen—the
emancipated slaves of Jamaica, the French Canadians, the
Chinese in their dealings with the European residents, the
Indian population in its dealings with the Anglo-Indian
conquerors. That ho had no bloodshed on his hands was
his pride in Canada. "No human power shall induce me
to accept the office of oppressor of the people" was his sin-
cere resolve in China. The order to burn the Imperial
Palace at Pekin was wrung from him by the severest sense
of the necessity of the crisis. When in India, the protec-

tion of the Indians was the constant source of solicitude to
him. The stt rn determination with which he carried out
the execution of an English soldier for causing the death of
a cativo was of itself enough to mark his strong sense of
what was due from the Viceroy of India to the interests of
the conquered race. " His combination of speculative and
practical ability," so wrote one with deep experience of his
mind, '• fitted him more than any man I have ever known to
solve the problem how these subject races are to be governed."
It may be that in these acts he merely served to represent
the growing humanity and justice of the age ; but it is a
great boon to mankind when the best tendeLcies of the age
find a congenial soul in which to take root and bear fruit;
and such a soul, in every sense, was that of Lord Elgin.
It might almost be said that the sense of responsibility for
the classes confided to his care, especially of.those who
wore comparatively friendless, was to him a kind of reli-
gion—an expression of his sense of the justice and love of
God for all his creatures. And it may be remarked how,
from this religious sense of the duty devolved upon him, it
came to pass that, if there was any subject which more
strongly moved his indignation than another, it was the
sight, whether in foteign lands or in our own, of Christiani y
invoked, or of the influence of the teachers of religion
brought to bear, against the general claims of justice and
humanity on behalf of those who might be regarded, in
race, or religion, or opinion, aliens from ourselves.—Nora
British Review.

Liverpool the busiest emigration mouth et the year.
