Reported Recall of Lord Durham.—The Rochester Democrat announces the recall of Lord Durham from Canada by the British government. The "news" is given in a tone of confidence, as if no doubt existed of its correctness. Nevertheless, we have scarcely any doubt that it is erroneous. If true, why has it not reached us by way of Montreal? The Democrat publishes two letters from Toronto asserting it, one of which will suffice for our purpose.

Extract of a letter, dated Toronto, June 20.

The most important item of news which is now circulating in town is no less than the recall of Lord Durham. The Selkirk family claims jurisdiction over all the Provinces by virtue of a charter granted to the family many years ago. This charter has lain dormant until lately, and the family have not attempted to exercise authority except over some territories north of the Canadas. However, the claim is so indisputable that the Ministry has been obliged, on the warm remonstrances of the Earl, to recall Lord Durham. It was on this account that the 74 gun ship (the Edinburgh) which had started for England, was brought back to Quebec.

Although the news is quite public here, it has found admission into very few of the papers yet.

His lordship does not sail, it is believed, for a month or six weeks. He is said to have been excessively enraged at the reception of the intimation of his recall.— How the government of the Canadas will in future be conducted, is an anxious question with many.

Of course the wishes of Selkirk must be consulted.
