A short biography of the new Governor ap" pointed to Canada mey, perhaps, not be alto” gether uoninterestin. to your readers, succeed- ing, as he does, one who has been so sig: nally happy in obtaining the commendation not only of his own government but that of all foreigners who have bad sny relations with him. Sir Edmund Head is the only son of Sir John Head, a clergyman, and formerly rc tor of Rayleigh, in tie county of Essex. The family is of some antiquity, and the baronetcy upwards of two hundred years old. The father, Sir John, was more remark yble for the urbasity of bis manners, his taste for tae arts, and benevolence of disp »sition, saan for distiagaish- ed talents, although hia general capacity was by no means deficient. His son was educated at Winches- ter, and entered as a geusieman commoner of Orial College, Oxford ; & positioa which, independent of giving him the right to vear « silk gowc, afforded him immunity from the rigid roatiae aud compul- gory lectures of the collegs—s gentleman commoner | being regarded as a personsze whose fortane is al- ready made, and whore avjoura at the University is for the purpose of obtuimns every advantage bunt | that of literature. roe oollegiate carriculum is three years, ana after passing soous Aalf this period in the usual easy mancer proper to his position, his associates were sucpiixed to flud youog Head devotiog himself with che clovet application to the study of Aristottic, ad deep in ethics and rhevoric—such scien s, in fac’, ax were necessary to the attainment o igtest classical honors. At the expiration of hia term ue vas awarded, atter @ brilliant examiration, first class ia (eteris huma- nioribus. of Merton College becomizg vacant, he tried for it, ‘was elecied, and was offereu otter a short time the tatorship—an office whivn ue accapted and ssstain- ed for five yeais. His ucveptance of a situation honorable to his tslenta, ous considered to be be- rhe neath his pesition as ® geatieman commoner of | Orial, and heir to en ascient baronetcy, explained ya seme measure perhaps the secret of his sudden | taborious assiduity. Pecuniary losses in his family had, in iact, told him clearly that he must depond | for his promotion in life mainly on his own exer- tions, His constant access to she continent had early given hima taste for the acquisition of lan- guages, and he has the reputation of being one of the first Linguists of toe age. While tator of Mertoa, an article of bis ifthe Foreign Quarterly Review attracted the att ntion of the Maaquis of Lansdowne, the great English Macanss, $2 whose jndicious dis- crimination England is endebted for the early rise of Babington Macaulay, the historian. The Marquis found cut the author, aud the result of the interview ‘was that Mr. Head resigns: his tutorship, an ap- pointment worth somes £600 or £700 a year, in order to devote bimself to tie study of esclesiastical law. He had, however, scarcely taken the preliminary steps before the goverument made him an offer of a Poor Law Assistant Commussionership, with a thousand a year and travelling expenses. In this situation Mr. Head acquitted himself 80 well that on a change of administration, though opposed to bim in politics, Sir James Gra- ham, then Minister of the Home Department, pro- moted him to be chief comm ssioner, with a salary double the former one. Now, however, there oc- curred a change in his tide ot fortune; he had suc- ceeded to the family title, and shrewd men of all parties were unavimous in suoporting him in the Gifficult administration his office aevolved upon him; ‘but there arose such 4 Ciam r—principally urged on by the Zimes newspayer—agaiust the new pcor law, that committes alter commi:ies, and Parlia- Mentary inquiries without eud, were brought to bear upon it; aud though the closest scrutioy could find no hole or rent in tue co sduct of the ctief com- missioner, the Minietry of tue day were obliged to & wey, and reconstruct the woole sdministraticn. government of Ne#fuuciaad was then given to Sir Kdmund Head, ani knowing his great talents, 1t has been a matter of surprise to his friends that his ser ave not long ago been summoned to a higher sphe It 18 not impossible that the presence of Sir J. Graham in the present coalition Micistry may bave something to do with his promotion to tae govecnment of Canada. His age is forty-nine. {t must be recorded to the honor of Sir Bdmund Head, tnat on consciectious motives he refised to enter the profession of his father— that of the church—in which some of bis ancestors had rieen to the highest eminence. [t was inti- mated to him a) an early period, after the credit he had dene himselt ut Oxtord, that the House of Lorda should be opened vo him at the earliest ity if he took holy orders. But Sir und, with that firmness which 18 so distia- guishing s feature of nis character, one which he certainly did no’ inherit from bis ot»erwise excel- lent father, was deaf to the Syren voice which wooed him to anesrly career of purple and fine linen. His private chataster haa throughout been ,and the same fixed will which enabled break through the laxurious sloth of his na- tural ion to refuee every pecuniary assist- ‘ance from his father, and to carve ont a line for himself, was evident in the matrimonial connestion he formed with a laiy of excelleat famly and great accomplishments, but wh» brought him little else besides supporting the titleshe came to share. [f diligence, perseverence, sel{ denial, intense fabor will enable him to be a worthy successor of Lord Elgin, Sir Edmund Head possesses all tue qaalifica- tions. Whether he has the requisite social eado#- ments remains to be seen. His life has been very much that ofa scholar, and it is quite possible he May not havesufficient pliancy of carriage to en force his measures without violattag the amour eof others. This, it was said, was his only when Chief Commissioner of the Poor Law, and that a emaller mau would have succeeded bet- ter. Perhaps his position as Governor of Nova Scotia msy have pointed out to him tae ee of a lees rigid bearing. In honesty of intenti»m an religious uprightness he is n»t to be surpassed. Sir Francis Head, formerly Governor of Upper Canaia, is his cousin. The ‘tion = the aseyr se! trend ting of the national council, continues Ste anabated . The ministeriatists are to take their stand on that virtue which s certain unmea- place is said to be ps oar intentions.

Crises in hie Career Spanish Affairs—The Tatked of Changes Amongst United States Diplomats—Grand Inau- guration at Lille of the Stutue of Napoleon L., &c, The Moniteur intorms its readers tais morning that intelligence has been re -eived from General Canrobert, stating that on the 28:n of November, ceased, in a great measure, and that the weather in general promised improvement—tiat the laborious works on the roads aad trenchss, which bad been interrupted for a time by the inclemency of the season, were now about to be actively resumed, and that reinfcrcements were arriving. General Can- robert especially notifies the arrival of ‘the 6th regi- mentof dragoons, the 6th battalionof foot chas- seurs, with some miscellaneous detachments, and he alao states that the enemy (toujours tmmobile,) ‘was constant|y employed in protectiag himselt by repeated entrenchments. So far is very well. BatIdo not find that this intelligence seems likely to be thought soffivieatly important to allay the intense aoxie\y and general disquietude which the fearful losses of the storm of the 13:b of November have entailed. Tne French at no time have much faith in t2e sea, and it is pro- bably one reason why this war has been engaged ia Somewhat less enthusiastically than mighs have been expected from the known martial ardor of the nation, that it has necessitated a passage on that element, which to them possesses auch conntiless terrors. And now that the dreadful details of that ‘horrid hurricane have become more and more known—now that they hear of the vast mount of property Sacrificed, valuable lives lost, and all the sad disasters which accompany auch visitations, they are really in despair. Taeir own splendid ship-of-the line and war steamer seem to them more valuable than all the losses of the Eag lish; and when they learn, as they do, that their unfortunate transports, like the illfated Prince, | contained all sorts of clothing, food and comforts | for their soldiers, as well as immense maaitions of | war, eseettially necessary for th2 progress of the siege, their looks and language beggar any descrip- tion my pen can afford you. In vain is it that the promised advantages of tie Austraia accession are oatentatiously put forward; in vata are they told that while that great Geraan Power has been slow in giving her adherence to the Western policy, she has nevertheless been busily occupied in arming to the teeth; in vain is it boasted tiiat 500,000 men will henceforth be at the service of the allies; the | dogged answer with which euch crumbs of comfort are met is always to this effect— We place little faith in Ausiria, but much hope in the tall of Sebastopol.

It is very well to talk of the consequences to Turkey, Asia Minor, Egypt, Afsics, Persia, Arabia, Asia, &c., all lying in their ancient. barbarism, to be opened to the civilizing and softening influence of the west, and the replenishment, also, of the depopulat- ed countries with copious migrations from Western Europe, &c. Such a policy may be grand and very far sighted for you; we French do uot understand Central | it; and be assured, unless matters begiu to look a | litele brighter taan they do at present, you will hear { a cry taroughout France that will sound unpleasant- ly at the Tuileries. Success covers s multitude of * sins, and as long as we win we do not scan too nice- | ly the policy of the war; bat let a train of disasters set in, let us continue to hear of our children slain, or perisbing by disease and cold, and our ships tue of the tempest, and we shal! tell another tale. jur press is gagged, our mouths are shut, and the ans ver to our muttered indignation is, “But see how well it works,and how prosperous you are!” Let, however, the copper, instead of the ailver side of the shield be seen—jet this fa:titioas prosperity change its aspect, and the rebound, afver s0 much pressure, will be fearful. {t cannot be diaguised that language such as this is ever; becoming more aud more prevalent, an: Napoleon may be said to have reached one of those peed crises in his singular career which his good jortune bas hitherto enabied him to surmount with rare success.’ It ie to be hoped he will do so now; but the nation over whicu he has given himself such an entire monopoly, was never more in need of a “sop” thao jost now. ad which, it is shrewdly suspected he has nothin: store for it but a loan.

The statue is made from cannons taken from the Rassians at | Austerlitz, which gives occasionto M. Kalksmaun, President of the Chamber of Commerve, to make the following oration, the copy of which had doub! legs been previously inspected by the authorities :-- “ Beheve me, gentlemen, tha transtormation of trophies of war with the pacific tropbies of human activity would be welcomed by «he conquecor of Austeriitz bimeelf, insomuci as it reconciles itself with the pacific views of the monarch to whom France has now entrasted her destinies, He, also, in order to assure the dignity and independence the country, bas been compelled to draw tae sword; and in order tv guarantee peace to the world, has | sent our g.orious armies and intrepid meride to the shores of the Baltic and Black Sea He, alao, gives to France Rus-ian cavpon, the firat fruits of victo- ries woich cement our alliance with the nation who co-operates with us in this HY cent disposition of tae reapective rights and daties of tae different Ststes of Earope.
