A New BRTrsH MISSION 10 WAsHHG-oS.--We
learn from the news by the PrinceAbert that the
Britisb government has decided to send q spe-
ciai agents. member Of Parliament--to Wash
ingion TO lay before our government their views
upon the navigation laws and belligerent rights,
and to enter into negotiations for the opening
Of the coasting trade. The person selected for
this duty is Mr.. w. S. Lindsay, the member for
the English borough Of Tynemouth, gentle
man who has made this subject his special study,
just az Golden and Bright have selected their
specisIitiee. Mr.. Lindsay is, no doubt, sent here
to confer with Lord Lyons upon this question,
precisely as Mr.. Golden was despatched to Pa
ris to confer with Lord Cowley upon the recent
treaty of commerce between France and Eng
land, and as Lord Elgin was sent here to nego-
tate the Reciprocity treaty with Canada, of
which province be had been Governor and was
naturally supposed to be acquainted with its
affairs.
This mission has undoubtedly been prompted
by the immense increase in the shipping trade
and commerce Of the United States. AS long
as our foreign trade was confined to the Allan
tic and the Gulf, England thought or cared lit
tie about our views upon the navigation and
coasting laws; but now that our trade with Chi
ma, Japan and the East is opening up, and that
our coasting trade extends round the Horn
from the eastern to the western shores of the
continent, the British government is anxious to
obtain for British shipping a reciprocity Of that
favor which American vessels enjoy, according
to the coastiDg and navigation laws of England.
We publish in another column an article from
the London Shipping Gazette, in which an earnest
hope is expressed that our government and
Senate will accede to the views Of the British
government upon this question. Mr.. Lindsay
is to leave England tomorrow, and will there
fore arrive here shortly, when, no doubt, we
shall be put In possession Of the full objects Q.
his mission.

EyTERPREE.-The speech delivered by Mr..
Breckenridge in Lexington, Kentucky, on Wed
nesday, was published In the New York
papers-at least In two or three Of the enter
prising ones-yesterday morning, having been
furnished BY telegraph 1t . cost Of thousand
dollars. But, unfortunately, 1t was considers
bly, bungled in the transmission, owing to the
fact that there is but single line running from
Lexington to Cincinnati. The telegraph ope-
rators, however, did their best, and II was not
their fault but that Of the friends Of Mr.. Breck-
inridge, that the speech did not appear In per-
feet state. The astute gentlemen Of the man
aging committee ordained that only one report
er should be permitted to be present on the oc-
casion, although We sent special reporter there
for our own paper, and the Associated Press
had their reporters besides. Now, II was clear
ly impossible for one reporter to transmit
speech, occupying whole page Of the HKRAID,
on single wire, without some mixing up and
laundering. But this is just like the Kentucky
politicians. We remember that some years ago,
when the telegraph was In Its infancy, we de-
spatched special reporter 10 report q speech
Of Mr.. Clay at the same place, and the friends
OF the Kentucky orator warned him that II he
took single note Mr.. Clay should not speak at
all, although be Yves about making a speech
hat both he and they wanted every one In the
country to read. And these are the kind Of
statesmen that think they can conduct an i'm
portant election.
Mr.. Breckenridge, we are sure, knew nothing
about the arrangements Of his commit
tee; neither, we presume, did Mr.. Clay
In the previous instance, or they would not
have permitted such stupid course to be pur-
sued. The Journal Of Commerce, while growl-
ing at the laundering fashion in which the
Breckenridge speech was transmitted, complains
that II was the fault Of the "fast" men Of the
Associated Press, who would not wait until the
speech was revised and corrected BY the com.
mistee, as that intelligent body intended should
be done-just - II they could improve Mr..
Breckinridge's Grafton The imperfect manner
In which the speech reached the public IL Ct
tributable to them, and we hope 1t win teach
the Kentucky statesmen not 10 NEEDLE with the
press and It, representatives again They may
be sure that The metropolitan newspapers know
how 70 manage their own business In the pro-
per way.

THuRIow WEEDS PRocLAxAr1oN.--The NANTES
to Of Thurlow Weed, which we published day
or two since, was, beyond doubt, written for
the express intention of working more ways
than one. and may be considered as one Of the
notes of preparation for grand piratical cam
paign during the next session of the Legislature
II may also be received as one of the proofs of
the HERALDs statements that efforts are being
made to make the next Legislature tenfold
worse!than the infamous body that assembled
at Albany last winter.
In the first place, he informs the public Of
the numerous temptations that his intimate
friends" have laid before him In their en-
deavors to lead him from the path Of rectitude
ostensibly for the purpose of showing TO the
world that he possessed the moral courage to
resist venal offers, even at the expense Of
making enemies out Of intimate friends''--
what choice friends they must be to tempt him
for six long years-but really for moro i'm.
portant object. 1t must be borne In mind that,
with the exception Of one or two isolated dis.
hicts, there had been no nominations made for
members of Assembly when that manifesto was
issued. The universal indignation aroused
throughout the State against the last Legisls-
ture had the effect of intimidsting the minions
Of the lobby and those persons who had laid
their plans for an election TO the Assembly for
REGULATING purposes. There was a prospect of
his not being able to receive the six hundred
thousand dollar commission, even II he would.
Under . plea, therefore, Of showing bis no.
nesty, he informs his lobby agents throughout
the State that all the rich places were not dis
posed ofby the last Legislature. Ny friends, says
be, have claim of 81, 100000 against the State,
upon which they offer commission Of "6fty
per cent?" besides, there has scarcely been
Legislature for o quarter Of century but what
there has been an opportunity to make money;
conveying the inference that the next would
not be an exception. All Of this information
be gives to the vultures Of the lobby, just In time
to cause them to work with renewed vigor
in the several Assembly districts for the nomi-
nation and election Of the class Of men that will
enable them to secure portion of the six hun
dred thousand commission. Thus, fearing that
all Of his plans will be defeated by the indig-
nation against the last Legislature, the king Of
the lobby issues his proclamation as an incen-
tive to his aids in all parts of the State, inform
ing them what nice, rich, fat and juicy steaks
there are already upon his larder for the next
session of the Legislature. At all the Assembly
nominating conventions the people will please
note these facts.

MASSACHUSETTS THOROUGHLY AB0LFTIoNIzED.-
The extreme bigotry and radicalism Of the Mas
sachusetts republicans have forced Governor
Banks to retire from their counsels, and to re-
move to the West. In the place Of an able
statesman, skilled executive officer and an
efficient party leader, they have taken up as
candidate for Governor Mr.. John A. Andrew.
Boston lawyer, who has never held Office, but
has been prominent as private soldier in the
Garrisonian ranks. Mr.. Andrew was an abo-
liiionist Of the Massachusetts, school, SO ar
IDENTIFY beloved by Mr. Seward, before the free
soil party was formed. He was prominent in
resisting the Fugitive Slave law on two or three
occasions, when its operation was tested in
Boston. He b an ultra John Brown. armed re-
sistance to slavery man. At the meeting held
by Theodore Parker's society, in aid Of John
Browns family, Mr.. Andrew presided He de-
clared that, In his opinion, John Brown was
right, and that the meeting had been convened
to express sympathy with the man and
the idea (the 'irrepressible conHict').
Mr.. Andrews record is O. plain and clear on
this subject q those Of Mr.. Wendell Phillips or
Mr.. Lloyd Garrison. His nomination to the
highest once In the old Commonwealth il very
strong evidence In favor Of the argument which
we have held all along, namely, that the real
position Of the republican party is identical
with that Of the Garrisonians, its cardinal prin-
ciple being mo union with slaveholdes.r 1t
Is proof, IL any IL wanted, that Massachusetts,,
the dominant State In New England, has be-
come thoroughly abolitionized. After this II is
folly for the Tribune and other Lincoln organs
TO talk Of moderate, conservative, Union prin-
ciples a. part Of the republican platform.

AT Chicago, last week, says the Union, an
amusing scene took place at the baptism oil
young lady. The minister requested her
to assume the dress peculiar to such an oc.
casion, out she persisted in declining to take
of her hoped skirt. When she came to de-
scend into the bath, the inflated skirt touched
the water and rose up around her like bal.
loon. Her head was lost to the congrega-
ton she was swallowed up In the swelling
skirt; the minister tried to force her down
into the bath; but she was kept above the
surface by the floating properties OF tho Grin.
oline, and was buoyed up 80 successfully that
il was not until after much difficulty and
many foreible attempts to submerge the lady
that the minister finally succeeded in bapti.
zing the fair one.
