Canadian Affairs.

I ard Durham we think and believe wall soon DC
!, the CITY. He has expressed desire that or joan
coAorns sbould assume the administration OF the
uo,orrmsnt of Lower Canada as we are informed by
=, ;n,;m,,e friend of his Lordships, and he INTENDS
,,.,av - reman there for a shert time, to exercise
his functions as High Commissioner in British Anne
rica.
We also understand that the necessary arrange
ments have been entered INTO between his LofosmP
and Sir john relative to the eRtree OF the latter upon
the duties Of the governor chief. Al all events We
shall soon see Lsrd Durham in this city ana We
know for certain that the people of New iork, ever
foremost 10 pay honor TO worth and meftb VIM
warmly welcome HIM.
We call the attention Of the people OF TINS Guy again
IA this circumstance Lord Dsrham no'Wi'hs'ahu-
ing an apparent aristecranc external department .
heart true republican; and IN proof OF lAif' nc mas
ever supported republican principles IN 'he pi'.sn
Parliament from the hour he entered II, and ne mas
honored The republicans Of the United States and heir
principles whenever he had an opportunity. Let
him, therefore see when he comes amongst as, That
we know how 10 appreciate man of sterling primer
Piles, like Lord Durham.
We coald sincerely wish that he would not give up
the reins Of government in Caaada and THIS is the
universal feeling throughout this country, froa Maine
10 Mississippi No Governor OF British province
was ever more esteemed by the American peoplo;-
no man was ever more free from reproach whilst ne
administered the affairs of Canada, and no mans de-
parture from that country will be more regretted
We wish that he could remain; addresses are pour
ing in upon him frsm every quarter praying that he
would still hold on as Governors and il is the opinion
or mapy that he may be induced to alter his aeterml-
nation bat those who know him intimately are OF
different opinion. The remark Of the " Commerclal,
that II he does not 90 home next month ship must
b. sent for him 10 United States port; nonsense
He will not 90 home in government ship, and never
intended 10 do So Again, know this that he will
wait ill the opening Of Congress, he purposes 10
attend some of the debates there; and il is more
than possible that he will return 10 England IN
the yacht Charlotte, now lying at our Navy fard,
the property Of his friend, Col. Grevle.
As proof Of the state of public feeling in Canada,
we publish the following account OF It's demonstration
