Lord Durham has made but very short stay in
the upper province. He remained but twenty -four
hours in Toronto, leaving at o'clock P. NJ. Of
Thursday the 10Th inst, and was expected at Mont
real on Monday, where preparations were made for
his reception. He did not arrive, however, remain
ing all the day at Beauharnais, and was to reach
Montreal on Tuesday, at3P.M.
We are sorry to zee in the Toronto Patriot ndica-
tons of an unfavorabe nature respecting his lord
ships views and opinions as regards this country and
its inhabitants II is true, that the Patriot IS not to
be considered the best authority these matters, its
zeal far out-ranning its discretion. STILL, however,
we apprehend that its editsr would scarcely venture
on such limitations as il throws out, without some
warrant. We quote the passages TO which we refer,
that readers may Judge for Enthusiastically re-
marking that the very brief stay of Lord Durham IN
Toronto, seems to strengthen the opinion that no.
thing is to be expected from his interference in the
concerns of the upper province.
From the Toronto Patriot Of last Friday.l
We see il mentioned in the New York papers that
ministers have announced in Parliament that it will
not be necessary TO send any more troops to Canada
II Is consollRg to know that such announcement
could not have been made in conformity with any
advice from Lord Durham. His Lordshp, on the
contrary, will tell Her Malesty's ministers that they
are mistaken, that more troops, and still more troops
must be sent TO Canada, and most especially PLEN-
TY OF ARTILLERY. His Lordship will most
clearly point 0ut that it is this very spot that the
battle Of freedom is TO be fought and that conse-
quently the strength and chvalry of the British en-
pre- should be here assembled. His LordshP will
clearly demonstrate, that should the Americans pos
themselves Of the Canadas New Brunswick,
Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Cape Breton, and, in
short, all the British North American possessions
must fellow in succession, If not stimuli aneousy and
n n erin fprav Rr1tis Ou,-
msrce. That this is the end and aim, the day and
night dream of all Americans, His Lordshp will
give to Her Malestys ministers the most powerful
assurance, whence they may quickly conclude that
II is not few troops, however well disciplined or
however courageous, that can repel the hosttes of
myTlads OF rapacous and lnveterae foes who regard
the attainment Of the objects of their desires fun
damentally essential their much longer existence
as nation.
gentleman on whose veracity we can denend,
and who has permitted us to make of the infor-
NATION, states that in a conversation which he had
with Lord Durham, his Lordship said that he had
not been of the ranscendant importance of the
North American provinces until this visit, and that
this gnor rance was but toe general at homes that he
was now so assured of II, and delighted with the
character of its inhabitants and value 10 Great Bril-
tain, that as proof of this. he had recently recon-
mended TO Her Majesty's Government 10 loan, from
a fund which they had for investment in public
works. ESQ, 900 in Weland Canal stock and f250-
600 for the Improvement of the ST. Lawrence. Other
matters which prudence permits us for the present
not breach, introduced with singular ability
by his Lordship; shall farther allude to them
than by merely saying that his Lerdship has very
correct views of American sympathy"
1t is worthy of remark, ALSO that in his address to
the Mayor and corporation of Toronto Lord Durham
told them that he {" had not come TO take upon him
self the government Of the province, already ably
administered by Sir George Arthur" &C., which may
be understood TO mean, we presume, a general and
unqualified appreciation of the course pursued by the
Lieutenant Governor.
From the Montreal Herald
A party of the Mssskou volunteers, under the
command of Capt Thomas Starke, arrived here yes
terday with three deserters from the Royal Re-
gment from the 18th, and one from the 66th the
latter Of whom had been absent from his regiment
five weeks. 1t is but justice TO remark that the vol
unteers stationed abeai Frsngsburg have been very
active in arresng deserters; and from arrangements
which they have now made of a communication BY
signals along the frontier there is but poor chance
Of any more deserters from this joining sympath
