The Quebec Mercury had compiled a table of the number of repre- sentatives likely to be returned to the United Legislature by the differ- ent parties in Lower Canada. Of the 42 members which the Lower Province will return, the Mercury gives 24 to the French-Canadians, 13 to the British, and leaves 5 doubtful. The Montreal Gazette thinks that the doubtful 5 might be added to the British interest, leaving the French-Canadians only a majority of 6 in their own Province.

Lord Falkland arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, on the 10th of Sep- tember, in the Britannia mail-steamer.

On the 30th, Lord Falkland and Sir Colin Campbell, accompanied by their respective suites, proceeded to the Council-Chamber. Their Ex- cellencies were received at the entrance of the building by a guard of honour. Sir Colin Campbell, being seated on the throne, her Majesty's commission creating Lord Falkland Governor of Nova Scotia, was read; and the usual oaths having been administered, Sir Colin Campbell sur- rendered the throne to his Lordship, who seated himself and assumed , the government of' the Province. An immense concourse of spectators crowded the building.

On the same day, the new Lieutenant-Governor held his first levee.
