NIGH WATIIIt AT LONDOX 111111DOIL

LONDON. THOZBD4r, zror. 26.

IT is undentood that Lord NAPIER goes to
Berlin as the successor of Lord BLoortlt•Ln, who
retina on a pension. The idle figment of Ministe-
rial disapprobation which a contemporary, no longer
inspired, halm felicitously invented, resolves itself
into the merited promotion of a zealous and seem-
plished public servant, who, without a single •adue
concession, has won the conadenoe and respect of
the American Goverument, and conciliated the re-
gard mad esteem of our susceptible kinsmen beyond
the Atlantis. Firmness without arrogance in the
conduct et official badness, enmity and tact in
public and private intercourse, and a generously
frank expession of sympathy and good-will o• those
festive occasions when even • diplomatist is per-
mitted to speak from tho instractions of his heart,
have, we believe, made Lord Nhtrum's sojourn at
Washington a fortunate one, and crowned hie en-
deavours to re-establish the relations between the
kindred peoples on a securer basis with a fair mea-
sure of mums.

The poet of British Ambassador to one of the
Beropean Courts brings him beck once more to the
imeient ways of diplomacy, end the change of poll.
that atmosphere he will experience on his return
sew only be compared to the change from the keen
wind of the mountain top to the prepared tempera-
ture of a conservatory, or, let us say, from the mid-
Atlantis to a Parisian salon. Let us hope that Lord
Name will bear transplanting without iojary to
his Liheml principles. The Berlin Embassy may
be considered one of the high prises of the
diplomatic service at the present moment, when'
the Prussian nation is invited to seal the alliance of
two powerful monarchies with an alliance of two
his nations. We are as far as posaible from desiring
that British diplomacy should be more than a vigi-
hat observer and an intelligent interpreter of coati-
mental polities; we hare had more than enough of
abortive and insincere intervention in the affairs of
rersogn States r but the wyeapatlay sad Use eastople
of England can never be less unseasonably repre-
mated than at a time when the first seeds of repro-
mitotic* institutions are being committed to the
stiff and stubborn soil of an administrative monarehy
and a Mandarin bureaucracy. Lord NAPIER Mures
from a new world of boundless energy and immense
ambition, from the midst of a people exulting in the
Musser youth media the consciousness of an illimita-
ble destiny, to an old world overcrowded, disil I nriooad,
jaded and polite. But to a man who has served as
apprenticeship at Naples and Constantinople this
decorous and 61we1 old world of ours has nothing to
teach. Perhaps American " democracy " reconciles
a man of teats and delicate habits to what is weari-
some in exhausted civilisations; perhaps it acts
like a tonic on his frame of mind. At all *centaur
interval of diplomacy at Washington is no bed ini-
tiation fora coarse of useful service at Berlin. It
will not be the duty of the British Ambassador to
expatiate at Berlin on the inconveniences of popular
government, and the manifold dangers of an milieu/red
press, sum voting, and usivenal raiser Duthie
experiences of European Courts tempered with re-
isolleetioas of the White Howe will enable him to
strike the balance ef extremes, and to justify the
happy mean of English principles.
