A curious anecdote of SrS:r Charles Metcalfe and the princi

Canadian journals just received. On Sir Charles' arrival at
Kingston, Mr. Lafontaine urged on his encellency the pr

obtaining no immediate decision from Sir Charles, intimated
that if his advice in this respect was not followed he would

OF CANADA.—Sir Chas.

arrived
at Kingston, the seat of Government. The Chronicle of that

which was in
a high. degree flattering. The corporation of KingSIOD, with
the Vicelayor (the Mayor having accompanied Sir Charles
from England), crossed over to Watertown to meet him, and
on his landing an address was presented. Ills Excellency
crossed on the ice from Long Island, and on arriving at the
