We (Times) have much pleasure in stating that
Sir Charles Wyke, late Minister in Mexico, has been ap-
pointed to represent Greet Britain at the Court of Hanover.
A correspondent of the Manchester Guardian
writes :-" Several days ago Lord Stanley received from
the Premier an invitation, couched in terms sufficiently
flattering, to join the government as Secretary of State,
or, if he preferred it, First Lord of the Admiralty ; and
it is understood that the proposal was not finally declined
until after his lordship had paid a visit to town, and
had hid the opportunity of personal oommunication
with Earl Russell. I believe the reseals assigned by Lord
Stanley for refusing to join the admisistratioo were entirely
personal, and not political, sod that they had reference in
put to his diainclioatiou to place himself in • position of
necessary antagonism to his father, and in part to an
opinion that • public man who has had the confidence of
one party cannot, with safety to his own reputation, accept
singly the official confident* of its. opponents."
A little incident at the meeting at Manchest
yesterday, respecting the proceedings is Jamaica, deserved
special mention. ODO of the speakers called the attention
of the meeting to a rumour he had heard of Mr. Cardwell's
approval of-
the conduct of Governor Eyre ; bat Mr. T. B
Potter, H.P., declared that he had recently received a letter
from Mr. Cardwell, in which, far from deprecating iequiry,
he merely slid that " until all the facto are before the
public it is well that the position of • governor in such a
conjunction should have all sympathy."
A tradesman in Bradford was sent for trial yes-
terday on • charge of perjury committed in • court of joss,
tee, by which a prisoner was sentenced to six months' im-
prisooment. He swore that one of his customers attempted
to defraud him by giving • false address, and for that she
was seat to prison. After she had served her time in gaol
she accused him of perjury, and so far substantiated her
case as to lead the magistrates to send it for the decision of
• jury.

Tho session which commences next week at Washington
is the most important, the Daily News says, for which the
American Cangress ewer met. There is to be the new ex-
perience of a collision, of opinion it not of powers, between
the executive and the legislature. The speculation is, at
this hour, what will be done about the humbled Coo-
federate', the negroes, and the foreign relations of the
country in and by a congress which includes an unduly
large representation of a dwindliog ultra party, which
pulls more and more strongly io a direction opposite
to that of an executive of great and growing popularity.

the clerk of the house is allowed to make
them wait till the haus has decided whether to ad-
mit them or not, the republics% party can do what-
ever they please in the interval, on some of the chief gees-
Hone of the time. The contest beginning in this way will
proceed through the whole series of great questions—the
tariff, the reciprocity treaty with England, the Mexican
case, end the whole group of difficulties remaining over
from the war. The will of the majarity of the nation is
sure to prevail at last ; and when the majority and the at-
ministration Sr. of one mind, the Congress can afford only
a temporary obstruotiou. The most zealous abolitionist*
may well be satisfied to join the majority in Congress in
providing for the makes of the freed people, without in.
misting on reducing the Confederate States to territories, or
on ruling them by military authority, or confiscating lands
which may prosper better by not changing bandit.
Let them make the whole people equal before the law and

nowhere, and under no pretence, interfere with this great
republican condition, and the worst retribution of slavery
will be averted.
Jefferson Davis, the Herald sem is the victim of
Northern divisions. President Johnson, in the present
state of affairs, either wants the hariibood, or lacks the
substantial power, to brim: him to trial, or to take the
plainer and more arbitrary course of granting him a free
' and immediate pardon. The chief of the state is hampered
by his cabinet, his chief justice, and a certain section of his
people. He would be merciful, but he cannot.

Sear, which, with all respect for the New Orleans Times,
after having profoundly studied the unique speech of
General Grant, and with the aspirations of the Federal
army clearly in view. Se shown by the expedition of three
across the Rio Grande, ventures to prophecy that the
French army will not withdraw before Christmas ; that
there will be no Federal intervention ; and that Juarez,
poor fellow. will sot sal his Christmas dinner is the halls
