LORD LORNE'S ARRIVAL.

Unhappily, the voyage across the At*: * lantic was 10 singularly' unprosperojs, that the good ship Sarmatina had a rough, time of it, and 10 had aUon board. The, Princess, who must take after her father; for it was said that the Prince Contort by no means shared the Queen's predilection for the sea, was desperately ill throughout, the voyage—even the piper, of The Macallum More was " hors de combat," and cou)d not inflate hit pipes, notwitbv standing the wind there, was about and ,tb. ' spare. Howe?er, matters cleared bp/oW the arriral and disembarkation at Hal^

fax. The progress of the new GovernorGeneral has been quite triumphal—right royal receptions, addresses innumerable, following the stupid old custom at home. He and his Princess have already won the hearts of their new subjects, and Lord Lome, in Lower Canada, has made the French Canadians friends for ever by his thorough knowledge of, and fluency in, French. The Queen herself appears {(leased at the success which her son-ma-W arid his wife have already achieved, and has, sent a special telegram to them expressing her satisfaction. There is no doubt the Canadians are the most enthusiastically loyal people in the world, and they will certainly forgive any shortcomings which. Lord Lome may yet exhibit when they remember that he is allied to the reigning family, and that a Princess of the Blood Eoyal has taken up her resi-. dence among them for a term of years.
