Canada where be had by yarioas means obtained
a gaudy reputation. He is doubtless bitterly
disappointed in being thus stripped of this re-
ward for his Reciprocity Ire Aty. Had it rested
with Pamerston, he would doubtless have been
named. But Lord Canning, whose nomination
has occasioned much surprise, was appointed
some time since by Lord Aberdeen and approved
by the Cabinet of which Lord Palmerston was a
member-tbough the appointment was not pub
licy announced, to allow Lord Dalhousie to CON-
plete some reforms which he had originated 10
India. At the laie secession Of the Peelite party
Lord Canning, who is a thorough adherent fthas
section, remained temporarily in the Palmerston
Cabinet to prevent any unpleasantness to the
premier in his appointment.
Lord Canning, like the Governor whom he sue
ceeds, is in full ylgor of years and health. He
is of fine, manly presence, deficient in debating
power but large and liberal in his views, and in
administration Industrious and judiciOus. He
was troined in the Foreign Office as Under Sec
rotary to Lord Aberdeen, of whose opiuion, on
all subjects he is fervent disciple. His ad-
mnstrstion recently as Postmaster. General has
been distinguished by large reforms in every
branch of the Department, which though perhaps
due to the Secretary Rowland Hill, required for
their enactment an active and thorough sympa-
thy from the head of the Department.
Lord Canning ascends that throne which lis
brilliant father George Canning, had once &C.
cepted but subsequently resigned for the For
eign Office under Lord Liverpool, with reputa-
ton so moderate that it cannot well bear any
deterioration. Whether bic Indian administra-
tion Will add to il remains to be secn.
