OF the new Dominion Of Canada arrived at
Quebec, by the steamer HISTORIAN from Liv-
erpool, on Tuesday, 25th ultimo, and was re-
ceived with loud explosions of sunpowder,
much hoarse cheering, and prolix addresses
from the mayor, the magistrates, and the
board OF trade. The wharf at South Quebec
was gaiy decorated with flags and evergreens
The title of this distinguished individual, a.
we gather from ths addresses, is "His Excel
lency the Right Honorable Charles Stanley,
viscount Monck, Baron Monck, Of Ballytram-
mon, in the County OF Wexford, and 10 the
Peerage Of the United Kingdoms of Great
Britain and Ireland, Governor General of the
Dominion of Canada, and Vice Admiral of
the same, &C." What the &c." means Hea-
ven only knows. After the addresses Lord
Monck, with the members Of his family, en-
tered carriage drawn by four horses, and
drove of to "the vice-regal residence"

.a.F THE NEW GARNET ~
Will consist of thirteen ministers-6ve from
the Province of Ontario, four from Quebec,
two from New Brunswick, and two from No
va Scotia. The Montreal Gazette intinates
thatt the following list will be found to be toll
erably correct, and that Mr.. John A. Macdon-
aid will be Prime Minister:
From, Oatario-Mr. john A, Macdonald, Mr.
Campbell, Mr.. McDougall, Mr.. Rowland and
Mr.. FERGUSON Blair. l...
From Que6ec-Mr Cartier, Mr. Gait, Sir Mar
eisse Bellean and Mr.. Langevin.
From Ne,o Brunscick-Mr. Tilley and Mr..
Mitchell. ..
From Nora Ssotia-Mr. Archibald and Mr..
Kenny.
The Montreal News publishes, on 'the very
highest auth 'rity," list closely resembling
the above but including the names OF Messrs
McGee and Tupper; but the Gazette explains
that Mr. McGee is left out from "considera-
tions Of territory and population" and that
Mr.. Tupper, the Premier OF Nova Scotia, has
made way for Mr.. Kenny as representing the
Irish Catholics.
'E THE REFoRMERs,
As the Liberals call themselves in Canada
are vehemently opposed to the proposed min
istry, which under the name Of coalition" is
said to be purely Conservative The opposi-
tion between the Liberal and Conservative
parties will doubtless continue, since It is
founded in human nature; but the old issues
must certainly pass away with the old govern
ments. The political contests in Canada have
hitherto been mainly personal, or have turned
upon local questions pertaining TO education
and religious privileges. Under the new or
der of things broader questions are coming
