spain and Her Minister.

The New York Journal Of Commerce Of Tues
day has the following editorial:
"The Queen of Spain has appointed as her min
lister to this country Don Bravo Gonzales. He
ia, as we are informed, a man Of intelligence and
character has been member of the Queen 3 Cab
met, and is about forty years of age. He is emf
nently conservative, and devoted to the support
of the Spanish dominion it is, and will be the
last man of all the Queens subjects to agree to
the cession of Cuba either to the United States
to any other power
ss1'he selection of such man as the minister to
the United States at this time is doubt designed
to counteract the policy attributed by Spain to
this Government in regard to Cuba. II is set
off against our appointment of Mr. Soule, who,
though he does not approve of acquiring Cuba by
purchase, would be willing to promote its acqui-
sition in some other way, and is probably to be so
instructed.
'The present able and worthy representative of
Spain in this country is not, has been stated in
some of the newspapers, the individual who has
been appointed as Minister of Foreign Affairs in
SPAIN though the appointee is of the same name.
Don Luis Calderon dc la Barca is recalled, and
will be relieved from further diplomatic service,
being over sixty years of age and placed, accord
ing to the usage of :he Spanish government, upon
the diplomatic pension list, with a liberal allow
ance.
| 1t is not for us to question what the Journal
says OF the new minister coming from spain, OF
whom we know little, although we have reason
to believe that the motive assigned to the Spanish
government for selecting Mr. Gonzales is entirely
imaginary. But, much to our own and the regret
of the very wide circle of our countrymen who
have had the pleasure of knowing the present
highly respected Spanish Minister during his long
residence in this country, and his most esteemed
family, we are obliged to contradict the second
paragraph, and to inform the Journal that it is the
present Minister, Don A. Calderon de la Barca,
who has been honored by his sovereign with the
post of Minister of Foreign Affairs at home.
Though this promotion is high and deserved dis
tinction for Mr.. Calderon, which must be crafty
ing to his numerous friends in this country, the
withdrawal of himself and his accomplished wife
from the circles which they have SO long adorned
cannot be viewed without great regret.

CHoATE's EULoGY OF WEBsrER.-The Hon.
Rufus Choate, of Massachusetts,, delivered at
Hanover, New Hampshire, on the 9th, u eulogy
on the life and character of Daniel Webster which
is highly spoken of by those who heard it. The
New York Mirror says oft:
"The eulogy is considered the most brilliant,
eloquent, and profound that has yet been uttered
to the memory of the great orator and statesmen.
It examines him through all his career; contrasts
him at his several epochs, and in his varied char
acters, with illustrous compeers prior and contem
porary; it contemplates him in the forum, at the
bar, in the Senate, in the Cabinet, and most sub
lime and beautiful of all, in his pastoral home,
among the fields his hands cultivated, and the
focks and herds on which his mortal eye gazed
with such fond delight. 1t is great eulogy-
rising to the grandeur of its theme, and will en-
dure monument Of the affection of genius for
greatness, longer than memorial, stone or Brass

In the British HOUSE of Commons on Thursday
evening, July IA, Mr. Dsraeli advertea Is his pre-
vious remarks on the subject of the eastern trou-
bies, and said that, as things had now come to
what is called "dead lock, !" he thought it advi-
sable that government should fix day for Mr.
Layard motion ON the matter, in order to have it
fully discussed
Lord John Russell, in reply, stated that no
Russell had in error made misstatement respect
ing the meaning of Count Nesselrode's circular,
but on reperusing that document he admitted that
u bore on its face the Interpretation that Russia
intended to make the withdrawal of the allied
fleets from Turkish waters the condition of the
evacuation Of the prncipalities He (Russell had
Deen unwilling to accept this meanings because he
did not think It possible that two things so totally
unlike and dfssimiar as the occupation of the
principalties, and the presence of a fleet in the
port OF an allied power, could be compared with
each other, or that Russia could conceive itself
justified in demanding that the English and French
fleets should leave the Turkish waters before it's
troops should evacuate the municipalities. He was
also astonished that person of Count Nesselrodes
sagacity and experience should affix his name
to such document With respect to the hon
orable members (Mr. Disrael) superstition
that negotiations on the subject had come to a
"dead lock, !" the contrary was the case. Both the
French and English governments had considered
that there are propositions which might be ac-
coded to both by Russia and Turkey, which would
be the means Of obtaining pacific solution Of
these unfortunate differences. Whether or not
these hopes will be justified, we cannot know inn
mediatoly. Some time must eapse before we can
learn from St. Petersburgh what is the view taken
by the Russian government of any mode of settle
mcnt which either England, or France, or Aus
tria, may arrive at, and while matters are in this
state OF negotiation discussion is not advisable
