lishing his report on the impeachment investigation. A

The lion. Rev3rdy Johnson was entertained at a
banquet at Baltimore on July 15 by about 300 of the most
prominent cit:z_ms, many differing in politics to tho Mi-
nister. In reap nse to his health he said :—" Oa the eve
of my departure upon a mis,3io t to England, eutruit .d to '
mo by our Government, wb,re I mly find qu.stions,
of much delicacy and impertanco, affecting more or
less the friendly relations bet- voen the two great nations,
nothing could contribute more to encourage me than
such a manifestation of your regard. Relative to these
questions I have but this to say, that I entertain a con-
fident hope that they will be so disposed of as to remove
whatever embarrassments they may have occasioned, and
secure to both Governments an enduring and honourable
peace. Both nations, great in power and alike influenced
by a Christian civilization, neither should look on the
other with a jealous, hostile rivalry, or fail to see that the
interests of both greatly depend upon the prosperity of
each. Speaking the same language, inheritors of the
same common renown, possessing to a great degree the
same political principles—derived from a common ances-
try, essential to the security of property, liberty, and life
—sharing equally in the admiration of their poets, their
orators, their statesmen, and their philosophers, endowed
with the same love of rational enterprise, they must see
that Providence designs them to be friends, not enemies,
and to this end that it is the duty of each not to do, or
to suffer to bo done, without full redress, wrongs to the
other." Mr. Thornton was present, and spoke in a very
complimentary manner of the minister selected to the
court from which he is accredited.

The Albion reproduces the poem that appeared in
the Times, signed " C. K.," welcoming Longfellow to Eng-
land, as by Charles Kingsley. This is a mere guess, for
the «C. K." is not Charles Kingsley, but a literary man
and a barrister, who took some trouble to make the poet's
welcome as warm as possible.
