Never did the field of Waterloo yield so magnificently as in the two seasons whicli immediately foUoAved the great battle. '* Eow thiit I'ed rain has made tlie harvest grow !" But it will not be said that the crop was worth the manure. If results only are to be looked at, and no question of cost to be entertained, then a Lloyd of Di- napore ranks with a Napier of Meannee. Re- putation is distributed after the manner of a Tontine, Avhere the last surviving share- holder becomes possessed of the ...aggregate wealth of all the contributors. Recall Lord Canning in 1859, and he dies, not Avorth a rap, but let him live on as Governor Gene- ral till 1862, and all that has been bought with fifty millions of borroAved money, and countless lives, is held as belonging to him. May we not, in this instance, call upon a sec- tion of the community for a revicAV of judgment ? We neither impute to the late Governor General, recklessness in dealing Avith the pub- lic finances, norindifl'crencetothegroAvth of the Staters obligations, though it is notorious that money Avas poured out during four years of his administration as if it Avere water.
