Russell arrived here by the express train this evening, and were warmly greeted at the station. Afterwards, in the hall of the County Hotel., they were again warmly cheered, and the Hons. Mackenzie and Russell returned thanks, saying that this was the first town tlie.y had visited since the appointment of the Prime Aunister, and the first welcome that they had had.
