The Opening of Parliament,


Royal speeches on the opening Of the Bri-
fish Parliament are generally more formal
than instructive, but the debates on the adj
dresses are more significant and better show
the state CT public sentiment, at least SO far
as the Government is concerned. The Queen
barely alluded to our struggle, and hoped it
would soon end. We thank her Majesty for
that. We hope SO too, and think we have
good and substantial reasons for such hope.
Almost every speaker, especially in the House
of Lords, alluded to the scheme of British
American union or confederation, and not
one Ministerialiet or Oppositionist- opposed
the plan which is now agitating the public
mind OF Canada.
But what interests us most are the relations
of these Provinces and of the Empire with
our Government. The general tone OF the
speeches uttered on the occasion, touching
our affairs, with the exception, perhaps, of
the Earl of Derby, is satisfactory to us. True,
our policy toward Canada was by some noble
Lords considered unfair, but Earl Russell and
nearly all the other speakers made every al
lOWduCo iOT JUG lEr1tdtlOu WHICH VIC uhVO GA
perienced from the raids and other causes. In
looking over their debates on the address Of
the Queen, we fail to find any evidence that
John Bull will do anything SO provoke war
with this country, or to secure the independ-
ence of the South. However some of the
aristocrats may feel on this subject, they have
not the power to persuade the British Gov
eminent or the British people to do anything
to provoke war with the United States.

CoMPLIAdENTARY.-The Pictou Chronicle
of recent date, referring to the approaching
Inauguration Of President Lincoln, and the
possible changes in the subordinate officers of
the Government, says:
"We sincerity hope, as we believe, that there
will be no change in the Consulate at this
port Major Norton has been with us for
nearly sixteen years, and faithfully and ably has
he discharged the various duties incumbent on
him, as the representative of the United States.
And amid all the troubles and perplexities
of his position. he has from the firing of the
first gun at Fort Sumter, been true to the
flag OF the Union, and we question if man
can be found, either in or out of the United
States, whose loyalty has been more conspicu-
Gus and sincere. 70 EE
Well do we remember when the report of that
gun was heard of in Nova Scotia, the remark
made by Major Norton, the Consul, that 1t
qoGs the death knet Of stGUery, and that the
States would ultimately be united more
strongly and firmly than eper.
During his long residence in our midst, he
has by his genial manners, his kindness to the
poor, and the deep interest he has always
evinced In our varied enterprises, endeared
himself TO our entire population. May he
long be spared to U.S.
Major BENZ. II. NORTON, above referred
TO-, is native of this city, and resided here
during the early part of his life. During the
Taylor campaign in 1S48, he published and
edited prominent political paper in Boston,
and when appointed to his present position
under the administration he helped to bring
into power-he hailed from Massachusetts,.
He has daughter residing in Cape Eliza

"JosH BLLIEG's" LEoTURE.-It will be
noticed by advertisement that "Josh Billings"
whose humorous productions have been pub
lished far and wide, is to give his celebrated
lecture on "Putty and varnish" in the City
Hall tomorrow evening for the benefit of the
Maine Camp Hospital Association.
The real name of the author is Henry w.
Shaw of Poughkeepsie, New York. de is
pronounced to be one of the most promising
humorists in the country, and this lecture,
wherever it has been delivered, has been
spoken of by the press as melange of sense
and nonsense thai kept the audience highly
amused for the space of an hour. 1t is said to
be "racy, risibe. rollicking, funny, fanciful.
fantastic, full of queer conceits, unique ex-
pressions, eccentric thoughts, without system
or method. yet pointed and satirical." People
in these times like good, hearty laugh, and
they will enjoy it by attending "Josh Billings"
lecture.

GEN. r. e. LEE-Phis General is now the
cynosure of all rebel eyes. His I" order No.
2" contains strong~nd pathetic appeal to his
army and the people, and shows the narrew
straits into which the rebellion has been driv-
en-. The closing part of this order speaks
volumes and betrays his fears that the cour-
age and power OF the Southern people are
"ooziog out" The following is what he says
"The advantages Of the enemy will have
but little value, if we do not permit them to
impair our resolution. Let us then oppose
and courage to danger, with the firm assurance
that He who gave freedom to our fathers will
bless the efforts Of their children to preserve
It."

THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE
to late hour last night, no clue had been OBJ
tanned to the disappearance of Mr.. R. L. Rob-
inson, though the police officers and the con-
nections and friends Of Mr.. r. have been uu.
ceasingly at work to fathom, if possibly, the
mystery in which the affair is shrouded.
There is not the slightest ground of truth in
the stories which were circulated yesterday,
that he had been seen in this city, Saccarappa

The Richmond Despatch OF Saturday says

| Anaffair occurred last week in the vicinity

While resting at Burwelps bay, they were
vigorously attacked by the scouts and signal
corps men, who eventually succeeded in kill.
ing and wounding a number, and putting the
rest to flight. One hundred and sixty dead
bodies were subsequently found; sixty living
in the roadside, leading to Smithfeid. and
ten in the place where they died of their
wounds.

Charleston during Friday night, and the next
day the federals entered. Three gunboats be-
longing to the Confederate navy went up the
Cooper River. Nearly all the government
stores in the city were brought away, and the
cotton in the place burnt.

South Carolina Railroad Depot took fire from
Yankee shell, and some ammunition ex-
ploded, killing two or three persons, and
wounding six.
