THE MISSION TO CHINA.

We understand that the Hon. ROBERT j. WALK
ER has so far recovered from the indisposition
der which he has long labored, consequent upon a
slight accident which befel him while in England,
that he has concluded to accept the Office of Com
missioner to China, offered him some time since by
the PRESIDENT, and that he will probably set out
on his mission about the first of October. Although
the learned Dr. PARKER will probably be continued
as Secretary and Interpreter to the mission, we are
glad to hear that Mr.. JOHN Ross BROWNE of this
city, will be also attached to it and go out with the
Commissioner. Mr.. BROWNE is already very fa-
voraby known to our readers through his amusing
and interesting letters from Turkey, Syria, the Holy
Land, &C., published in the National Intelligencer
during the last year or two. In China he will have
a new and rich field for observation, and from his
skiful pen and graphic pencil his countrymen at
home may expect amusement and instruction re-
