Gneernor General. The Consereatien and the
Radicals seemed striving with each other for
the honor of .hooting loudeet. We are not ex•
aggontiog mrcA. when we ray that the whole
iih bituu of Goderich, "Mee, Women end
Childers," (herein' the r•liaot Colonel el the
Arai Hurons, *lie was redelgi.g it the luxury
of house -keeping and cradle -rocking, for the

and the words " Welcome Elpu" on die other,

leading. His Euelleory on stepping ashore
was auto greeted with thee, heavy cheer'.-
Oor whole stock of eartiager, sod w' might may
horses were in ngeuition. sol His E:xeelleney

the several Addresses were being presented. -

The ship left the b•roor about half pat six, and
was cheered long and loud with hearty good
will, 1111 both woods sod water eohoed with the
" tremendous cheering."
We have much pleasure in recording the
fact, that the conduct of our citizens on
this occuion was creditable -political feel -
Ing seemed for a time to have died, and the
veriest Tories wor.even more anxious than
the Radicals to conduct themselves with
becoming respect, and to be introduced to
ilia Excellency, and get the " honor of a
shake hands." Much credit ie due to thC'
Mayor and the Sheriff, fur the manner in
which they acquitted themselves. In short,
we feel pleased with the whole proceedinge,
and have a higher opinion of Goderich and
is inhabitants now than we had forty-eight
hours ago. There is always a certain a-
mount of worthlessness in every communi-
ty, and we are extremely happy in record•
Ing, for the credit of the Town, that on the
present occasion, common bLsckgrar-dism
had only two advocate'', and was publicly
exhibited only in the personal appearance
end conduct of John Stewart and Dixie
1Vatson, Lawyers. We shall probably ap-
peal to the honor of the Conservatives, on
this subject, in our text.
A vote o1 thanks is due to John Long-

creditable management of the cannonade.
