ELGIN, and to the burning of the Parliament House
at Montreal. Particular stress, it will be observed, is
laid by the pamphleteer upon the introduction of the
name of Dr. WOLFEED NELSON into the measure as the
principal claimant for compensation ; but even in this

opinion until the arrival of the next dispatches from the
Governor-General of the Canada►—dispatches which
(it should not be forgotten) are promised by Lord
ELGIN in his last communication to the Colonial
Secretary.
