Early sheets of an article on " The Ministry and
Canada," in the forthcoming number of the London and Westminster Review, are lying before us. We had hoped to enrich our columns with extracts from this paper, in which the duties of the Radical Reformers, the conduct of Ministers, and the Canada question, are treated with originality and vigour of thought and expression ; but the crowded state of our co- lumns precludes any thing more than a general recommendation to read the article as soon as the Review is obtainable. We observe that although in October last the same writer took a more hopeful view of the policy of the present Government than the Spectator,—having, as we then ob- served, "a sort of lingering, fond expectation" of Reform measures from the Whig Ministers,—he now goes beyond the Spectator, and recommends that Radicals should join the Tories in a vote of " no confidence," for the purpose of turning out the Whigs, whose rule has become utterly and irredeemably pernicious.
