TILE NEW AMERICAN MINISTER .

IhE NEW AMERICAN MINISTER
In our last publication we noticed the arrival
OF his Excellcncy the Hon. Louis MLano in
London. Since lac reached the British me-
sropolis, MIR. M'Lsue, not having been able To
command a suitable residence, has been STAY
ing al Thomas Hotel, where he still remains.
On the 9th instant he was presented To the
Foreign Minister, the Earl of Aberdeen and
OH the 9Th he attended al Buckingham Palace,
where he delivered his credentials To her Maj
es,y, and was most graciously, and even kind
ly received. Mr.. MIane was present in his
place In the House OF Lords, amongst the
corps diptomdtiqut, on the occasion of the
propagation of Parliament BY the Queen.
The retiring Minister, Mr.. Everett, has been
extremely popular since he first arrived, and
he leaves with the regret and the esteem of
all the parties who have bad occasion 10 come
in personal contact with him. The new Min
lister has this great advantage over his prede-
cessor--that he has filled the same high office
at the British court before, and is personally
and Familiarity known TO all the leading mem
bers not only OF the Government, but of the
Opposition. Indeed, since his appearance in
London,ih has been waited upon and received
the congratulations OF many distinguished
members of the aristocracy. who knew him
In similar capacity some twelve or fourteen
years ago. This kindly feeling towards the
new Minister has found expression in compli-
mentary notices in most of the daily and week
ly papers. The representative of the Ameri-
can Government enters, therefore, upon the
discharge of his onerous duties under circum-
stances, in personal point of view, the most
favorable that can be conceived. That he will
acquit himself to the satisfaction of his coun
trymen we fervently hope and believe. He
has difficult game TO play-clear heads and
Il, -. al.
stakes are worth the exertion of all the intel
lect the ablest statesman can put forth and
If the new Minister can bring the Oregon af.
fair to a satisfactory conclusion--if he can
satisfy the great nation he represents, and the
Ministers with whom he has to drive the bar
gain--he will deserve, and will questionless
receive, the highest need of appreciation and
honor which free people can bestow, or
high and honorable ambition aspire to.

tend the preparations making on the banks of

gantic concerts, in which all the musical pro
lessons OF all the nations of Europe will take

A PRINCE CONVICTED OF FORGE

A PRINCE CONVICTED OF FORGE
RY.-A trial lately took place at the Court of
Assizes for the Seine at Paris, of the Prince de
Berghes for forgery. He is young man of %
years of age, OF very honorable family. He
was convicted or his own confession, of hav-
ing counterfeited % checks OF Paris Society
called the Jockey Club, of the amount of 100
francs each. The checks had been issued to
limited number, signed by the Secretary of
the Society, were passed in payments among
the members, and were redeemabfe by the
Cashier in money. The checks to the amount
of 25OO francs, the prisoner had fabricated,
and he had issued them to the amount of 2200.
1t appears that the Prince is rich, and could
not have been urged to the commission of the
crime by necessity or embarrassment. He
was found guilty, and sentenced to three years
imprisonment, and to pay fine of 100 francs.
