There evidently great matrimonial demoralization

A Poor Bor Innentrs Fiery Tnovsanp Dottans.
About eight years ago, says the Memphis Bulletin, of
March 13th, a youth named Timothy Griffin left his
mother's house in Toronto, in company with two other
lads, for a tour in the United Staves. “Not one of them
had at that time attained his fourteenth year, but the
thought they were well able to go forth and seck their
fortune among the Yankees. The three young adven-
turers first visited Detroit, where they got situations as
**bell bors” in a hotel, and after a short time they left
for pastures new, Chicago, Cincinnatti, St. Louis, and
other places were visited, and when the war broke out
they beeame separated. Grillin continued to follow the
pursuits of « civil life, and at the termination of the war
be found his way to Memphis, and the first that was
really known of him here was that he, after seven
years’ wanderings, bad settled down to steady employ-
ment, aed had obtained a situation on the Memphis and
Ohio railroad as a brakeman, He pursued bis calling
diligently, saving up all the money that was in bis
power, not having the slightest idea that fortune was
about to play a pleasant freak upon him, There was,
however, good fortune in store for him who had so
early wandered from home, for on Monday he had re-
ceived a letter from his mother, requesting his immediate

they did immediately after, electing the Hon. Joseph

SPEECH:

Mr. President and Honorable Gentlemen of the Legis-
lative Council :
Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the House of Assembly :

The time at which it was deemed advisable to dissolve
the last Assembly, and the wivisterial arrangements
which were the result of the General Elections, have
prevented ne from snamoning you at an earlier period
for the discharge of your legislative duties,

Although the lateness of your meeting must be at-
tended with inconvenience to you, I rely with confidence
upon your devoting sufficient time to mature such mea-
sures as the exigencies of the Colony and its public
service may require,

Daring the recess, the purchase of extensive estates
has been effoeted—the particulars of which will be laid

This daygat three o'chock. His Excellency the Lieu:

* Honor and shame frem no cendition rise,
Act well your part-there all the honor hes.

Tur Legislature has been now been sitting for nearl, a
week, “Most of that time has been taken up in certain rows
ime duties, such as the appointment of Committees, the re-
ception of Tenders, &c. ‘I'he real business of the session has
yet to be grappled with, but we suppose that several days
will be wanted in disevssing the Governor's Speech, The
discussion upon this document commenced on Monday eve-
ning last, and is continued from day to day, for the very
purpose, it would seem of deferring the business of the Co-
lony as long as possible. ‘The Land Question, in all its de-

hour, is gone over with a minutenes that does honor to the
memory of the debaters. The ‘ Posse Commitatus,” the
troops, Confederation, and a thousand other matters which
have nothing to do with the Governor's speech, are hashed
and rehashed, for tie apparent purpose of ewelling the «Par.
liamentary Reporter.”’ But the real business of the coun-
try, as we have said, is yet to be disposed of. The debating
pewers of the Government will, even without the assistance
of the Leader, the Hon. Mr, Coles, suffer nothing from a con-
trast with those of the Uppomtion. With anything like
tact and judgment, the task of governing will be an easy
one to the majority, We expect, therefore, from them many
benencial measures before the Legislature risea, Which we
suppose will be about the third weck in May, We give injhas

} The relations of France aud Prassia are rapidly
approaching a critical juncture. The immediate
cause is the possession of the Dutch province of
Luxemburg, but the prevalent feeling of hostility
between the two countries may be traced to the
jealousy and distrust engendered by the result of the
war with Austria last year. Prussia, which gaiued
uolooked-tor acquisitions of territory by that war,
now finds it necessary to strengthen her frontier
towards France. Lately she made a proposition to
the King of Holland either to enter the North
German Confederation as representing the provinces
ef Limburg and Luxemburg, er to cede a portion of
those provinces to Prussia, In the former case the
military forces of ee provinces would 4 adhoc gir ee
uuder the direction of Prussia as the head of the :
couféderation, aud iu the latter the fortresses io the Wednesday, April 24, 1867.
provinces would become the property of Prussia—
so that either proposition being accepted by Hollaud,
Veassia would greatly strengthen her French
frontier and erect an important barrier to the
entrauce of French troops into Germany in case of
war with the Coufederation. The French Govern-
ment, through its diplomatic representative at the
Mugue, used every effort to defeat the aims of!
Prussia; and, if the report in the cable despatches
this morning be true, it has succeeded in this object.
It is stated that the sale of Luxemburg at an carl
date is probable—not to Prussia, but to Frauce. It
this statement prove to Le correct, there will be au
additional inceutive to war between the two powers,
and indeed the proposed cession would witliout
doubt at once cause @ rupture, Prussia cannot
remaio a quiet spectator of the trausfer from Dutch
keeping to that of Frauee of highly important
strategic positions which sbe herself wishes to obtain
nod which she deems necessary to a perfect detence
against possible French aggression, On the other
hand, if Luxemburg were ceded to Prussia, Frauce
would reyard it as a menace, the resenting of which
would be demanded by the keen seusitiveness of the

Surrtrrs.—The names of the Sheriffs for the coming
year will be found in to-day’s paper. We bave nothing
to way to the gentlemen who have been appointed for
Queen's and Prince Counties; but we happen to know
that & more unpopular selection than that of John A.
MeLean, Esq:, could not be made in King’s County.
If the exercise of the undue influence of the Ledger in
contested elections, qualifies him for the important office
of Sheriff, then he is entitled to it; but we think that
some more substantial reasons should exist for his ap-

pointment. We should be glad to know that merit alone
was the cause of his election, Under the circumstances,
nowever, there seems to us to be more political reasons
for the appointment than otherwise,
