Rar ution will be found under the heading. _ It displays an amount of glarm which we cannot believe to be otherwise than simulated, even on the part of the mover, who is remarkable for moral weakness and.pohtical vacillation. We are uiterly at a loss to understand why the "Imperial rule of an English prince," over territory under the sway of the British crown, can be gonatrued into a menace against the safety of the Republic, and stull more pazâ€" zledâ€"to find out for what reason the consent of the Washington government should be deemed necessary to the consummation of any political changes which t::op“ of this country and the Imperial gq wnent see fit to make, â€" We pase over the insolence of the bnterference as being something so truly charâ€" actemstic of our neighbors as nut to call for any remark. . They are actustomed to doing that sort of thing, and we are so well used to seeing them do it, that it be the mereâ€" bst alfectation to say we ard surprised. What we rather likeabout Mx. Raywox»‘s | resolution, and what has kept us all along in. good husmor with our neighbors concerning their anxieties about our future, is the eviâ€" denge aftorded of the estimate they form of our, importance. Mr. Raymond confesses that the Kingdom ot Canada is to be " a powâ€" erful monarchy,‘" and in this we entirely agree with him ; he sees, no doubt, that with the formation of this monarchy, all hopes of the annexation of the Provinces already coloniz ed, or the acquisition of .the Northâ€"west territory, which the Americans have been in the habit of regurding as already almost their own, are for ever gone, or at the least in. ‘definitely postponed, and in this too we agree \with him; but to say that the formation of this monarchy is * hostile to the peace, and menacing the safety of"" the Republic is utterly ridiculous, and can only have been brought in for effect. There is but one rational conclusion to be drawd from this movement on the part of Mr. Raymondâ€" that seeing it is "now or never" with the Republic whether British America shall or shall not be annexed, he wishes to take the sense of the Legislature and evoke the opinion of the Executive upon the point. There is of course, from this, as from all other American movements, another conâ€" elusion to be drawn, namely, that it is a movement for bunkum, an attempt on th¢ part of the mover to recover his lost popuâ€" luriw with the fireâ€"eaters of his party. â€" But in either case, and whether the resolution is adopted by the House or not, the result will be practically the gameâ€"thé Kingdom of Canada will become a fxed fact, and no amount of American or proâ€"Yankee Canadian «* remonstranges‘‘ can prevent it.

The author in question appears to have made himâ€" self perfectly familiar with the personal apâ€" pearance of the celebrated Empress, But he, shows complete ignorance of her gencalogy, a matter that is not unimportant, considering that so many high dignitiecs: are still hereditâ€" ary, notwithstanding the practice of our reâ€" publican neighbors, _ Exâ€"Governor Koerner states, that the Empress Ewcnlo is the daughter of an Irish lady, ~If/the Countess Monteja‘s descent from Celtic aucestors, through the Dalriad Kings, can entitle her to be so designated, there is nothing to bo said. But as the said Celtic herges ot remote antiâ€" quity cannot claim to be ZrisA in the modern sense of the term, it cannot be admitted that that distinguished person, the mother of Euâ€" genic, was an Irish lady ; she was on the conâ€" trary the daughter of an ancient and eminent family of Scotland, the Kirkpatricks of Closeâ€" burn, ‘When thereâ€" was question of her marâ€" riage with a Grandce of Spain, of the highest rank, in the time of King Feidinand, it was necessary according to the laws of the.counâ€" try, that that monarch should be consulted beâ€" fore the marriage could take place.> When the lady‘s genealogy was laid before him, and it was shown that the countess could prove descent through the Kirkpatricks fromf a still more eminent and more ancient family of Scotland, one which yjelds not in point of anâ€" tiquity to that of the Duke otSutherland which, 1 believe, dates from the year of 80 of our eta, the learned monarch at once said : " Let the zod man marry the daughter of Fingal."

It is reported that Postmasâ€" terâ€"General Randall is to resign, und go to Vienna as minister, in place of Mr. Motlcy. Such is the narrowness with which we have | escaped an outbreak which, though it woulfd | have been of course promptly suppressed, [ might have cost much loss of. life. The govâ€" erament last night adopted rather a tone of apology for having thought it necessary to | take decided measyres. On the contrary, if | fault is to be found‘ with them, it is for not having acted with that promptitude. Of course | if would be idol to complain that Chester was | insufficiently garrisoned. Tt was protected as | much as any other provincial cityâ€"in other | words not at all. But it is also clear that if the Fenians had beena little more resolute | the troops would have arrived too late. ‘That | Chester was saved from pillage is due mainly , to the people of Chester themselves: and the | energy, the courage and the patriotism they | dlph‘{ed merit the warmest recognition. As ; Mr. Walpole, according to his own statement, | had good reason to fear on l!%udny morning | that matters had assumed a th ning aspect, it would surely have been only prudent to | augment the inadequate force in Chester and ; its neighborhood.

" A Case of Successful Forgery. / New Youk, Feb. 28 â€"The particulars of a gold l'lm?l‘lug operation in May 1865, by which a broker named John Ross, fraudulently obtained $$00,000 in gold from various hank= ers in this city, have finally come to light. The motney was obtained by gold certificates, apparently signed by the Continental Bunk. Ross escaped with his booty in a vessel named the Dakote, which was kept in veadiness for the purpose of carrying him away. â€" He is now presumed to be in Brazit, where he is safe from the clutches of the United States officials, there being no extradition treaty between the two countries,. Several suits have grown out of the case. Two firms sueing the Continental Bank for suras named on the certificates, and ¢laiming the signatares are genuine. From the statements made last night in the two Houses of Parliament, as well as from our correspondence, we possess toâ€"day a sufâ€" ficiently ckear knowledge of what occurred ; and it is plain that the danger had been in no degree exaggerated. Notwithstanding some idle expressions of incredulity let fall in the House. of Commons last night, it is impossible to doubt that the attempt was due to a deliberâ€" ate conspiracy of the, Fenians The chicf police ofticers both of Liverpool and Chester appear to have received. conclusive informaâ€" tion on this point, for the invaders were not without the general Fenian characteristic of having a traitor in their camp. Our corresâ€" pondent adds some significant pieces of cireumâ€" stantial evidence ; and the mere look of some of the strangers was suflicient to indicate their character, if not their purpose. We must cerâ€" tainly give the Fenians credit for having formed a bold plan, and for having pu!i it into execution with considerable promptiâ€" tude; If it had not been for the inevitable traitor thereâ€"is too much »reason to fear they would haye had at least a . partial succéss. . They began to arrive from different quarters, but principally from Liverpool, about iwo o‘clock on Monday morning, and before daybreak . several hundreds oft them were in Chester, _ At this moment the castle was proâ€" tected by a single company of the Fiftyâ€"fourth regiment. ‘The Fenians seem to have enterâ€" u.l_ned_ a belief that this regiment would not offer them a vcri atrenuous resistance. But, however staunch the troops might have becu, it is probable their number would have been quite suflicient to resist an attack by two pr three hundred men in a place almost inda‘tfi- sible, and if the first arrivals from Liverpool had marched promptly upon the castle they would scarcely have failed to obtain possesâ€" sion of it. ‘ In that case they would,according to our correspondent, have secured 9,000 stand of arms, 4,000 swords, 900,000 rounds of amâ€" munition, besides powder in bulk and the arms of the militia.
