There is no general elation, and no expec: lotion of the sudden return of_large Jmsiness and great profits, biuf there 'is analmost universal anticipation that a healthy business 'will be done; that reasonable gains will be possible, "and that the improve ment will be steady and enduring. This view is based on a .compari son of trade actually done.in tho principal lines with that which was done a year ago, and there is no room for doubt that substantial .progress bus been made. A gentleman who has been in the northern-part of Wellington, and also in the county;.,of Grey, informs the \Guelph Mercury that the "crops there are not damaged to any extent by the late rains.

In the name of the Queen he welcomed them to Manitoba, adding : " You are welcome to our affec tions as well as pur lands, our liberties and our, freedom.'? Tbe address was listened to with the greatest interest, the entire crowd of about 1,000 removing their hats every now._-.and then in token of approbation, many men as well as women being affected to tears.
