ROYAL QUARRELS.—The world knows that the Duke of Brunswick has
seen fit to quarrel with the King of Hanover, for divers reasons, about which the sub- jects of the King of Hanover know little and care less. The Commission ap- pointed by the German Confederation to examine the points of difference, have found the Duke wrong in eight particulars, and have ordered him to apologize in proper form. The Duke's intentions, thereupon have not reached us. He is a very obstinate gentleman. We hope he will not go to war with poor England, but beg pardon as the Commissioners desire him, and be a good boy in future.
ORANGEISM IN CANADA.—The latest accounts from Upper Canada speak of Orange processions there, got up, it is said, by some emigrant Irish Protestants. Is there to be neither end nor measure to this insanity ? If these fools are not thrown into the Niagara, they richly deserve it.
RATE OF DISCOUNT AT HAMBURG.—While money in London is so plentiful that good bills may be discounted at 3 per cent, and under, at Hamburg so great is its scarcity that discounts, by the last arrivals, are stated to have risen to 51 per cent.
