MT. Buchanan and England.

The following interesting account of the cere- monies at the reception of the British Minister rather indicates friendly feeling towards the United States, on the part of England The Queen in her message to President Buchanan is " wondrous kind" and manifests an earnest desire to advance the mutual interests of Eng land and the United States The future we hope will prove the sincerity of the Queen and her minister in the sentiments they here ex- press:
 At the reception of the British Minister, Lord Napier, in addressing the President said he was instructed to convey to him the earnest desire entertained by the Queen to preserve and advance on all occasions the interests and happiness of England and America, which are So deeply involved in their amcable intercourse; to manifest to him the hearty good wishes which her majesty chershes for the prosperity of the United States; he ventured to congra- tulatc the President on his accession to the highest elective dignity in this country or world, saying; May you enjoy 1t in health, peace and every increasing honor, and may the pelod of your government be distinguished by all features of public welfare"
 Permit ne,'' he continued, ito express to you my qualification at being selected to renew and ayow at Washington those relations of in- ternatona friendship which have been 50 ably sustained by your representation in I.ondon- This important and grateful duty might have been committed to another more capable of dong Justice to the sentiments of beueVolence which animate my sovereign, her minister and every order of her sul ects, but no one could approach your eXcellency with greater respect for your position, of your office, or with war mer good will to the American people''
 He then delivered the crcdentas and letter which Her Maj :sty had been graciously pleas ed to entrust to hlo cale.
 The President in reply, offered to Lord Ma pier hearty welcome as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleuipotentary of Her Brltauic Majesty to the United States "Your Sover- eiSn," he said, "l am convinced could not have selected more acceptable representative than yourself, to renew those relations of iuterua- tioual friendship, which, | trust, may never hereafter be interrupted. The earnest and gla- cious desire expressed by Her Majesty to pre- serve and advance on all occasions the interests and happiness of England and America, and the hearty good wishes which Her Majesty cher'Shes for the prosperity Of the United States are cordially reclprocated on my paIt, and will
 
 oi the American people. No independent pow CTS have ever been bound together by material interests of such magnitude, as those which unite Great Britain and the United States; in- deed the prosperity of one, is necessarily in. volvcd in that of the other, but mutual interest. however vast, without mutura regard. are not always sufficient to preserve friendship between nations. How happy, then, can 1 receive the assurance that your Sovereign, her Ministers aud every order of your subjects are animated by sentiments of benevolence towards the go- vernment and people of the United States. Dur Ing my administration it shall be my agreeable. as well as my earnest desire, to increase tho friendship and good will now so happily sub slstIng between the two countries, and to render these sentiments strong and enduring. With such sincere and heartfelt disl oatious on both sides, should difficulties ever arise between the two governments, these will be easily adjusted m the spirit of mutual forbearance and con- ccSsion.
 ''l return your Lordship my thanks for your expressions and wishes in reference to myself, and feel conscious that in our future intercourse we shall proceed tremendously and satisfacto rlIy Tn dlscharglnS our respective duties"
