A from speaks of further disagreements between thr Governor and Ministers, owing to His .Excellency having ihoved a disposition to adopt t;.e advice, not of his Minister;*, bur, of the oppouunts of Ministers. Wo cannot think there is any truth iu these stattmic.itj, and that Uis Lxcelleuey would be unwise enough to complicate matters just 011 the t=ve of his departure. The diffe euce arose on the subject of calling Air. Wood to the Legislative Oouucil, and surely Uis Excdleucy has experience euough to warn him against raising auy objection on such a poiut. In refeience to -Mr. Uignan's being called to the Upper Uouso, we are to'd that " the objeetiou was not pressed," whatever that phrase maymeau. As to Mr. Diguau's elevation, regret will be felt that it will bo the means of terminating his career as a member of the House of Representatives. Mr. Dignan has been for many years iu that House, and has been diligent and thoroughly trustwonhy in all tnat coucerned his constituents. There was no man who wa3 more capable of giving sound and judicious counsel than Mr. Dignan, aud his advice was always implicitly relied upon in any crisis by his party.
