AN ANNEXATION MOVEMENT.-Thu British oolooibta retudent iu New York huid a meeting on 23d alt., for tho pur? pose of organizing a colonial anuexutiou movement. Representatives of Cuuudi?, New BruuHwiok, No vu Scotia, Prince Ed? ward Island and Newfoundland, united iu a pledge to sastain tho projeot of e union of all these colonies with tut United States, and measures wero taken to secure the oo-operalion of thou brethren in Chicago, St. Louis, Buffalc aud other places. Tho speakers at th I meeting dwelt upon the projeot of un nexation with great earnestness, cou tending that it is as sure of cousumma tion os it is certain that England ii losing faith in the colonial Bystem, and, therefore, that tho question should bi ouusidered calmly with reference ' - con tingenoies uot remote. As the ournn of Commerce remarks, these get lemei mean well, but tbey will fail to get u] any enthusiasm over aanexation at thi time. The advance of tho ?labami claims towards settlement bas stoppet tbe aunexatiunieta in the United State from asking fur Canada as au offset ti those claims. And, on the other hand a community that went into moral fit over a defalcation of a paitry tUousaui and odd dollars by the clerk of a Toron t public office, may well stand aghast a the frightful disclosures of o mom iniquity in New York sud Washington and precipitately bog to be excused fror joining their rusti? fortunes with an such depraved orew. Mrs. Sarah Norton thinks a woma with the right of suffrage would be i miserable as a man liable to bear ohi dren. She also believes that all the me who advocate "woman's rights" ha\ failed in finding a woman's p?aos in lifi Harmless mirth is the beat cordi against the consumption of tba spirit wherefore jesting is not unlawful if treaposseth not in quantity, quality, t Sdaaon. - Fuller.
