Lord Lyons Resignation.
SIR FREDERICK BRUCE, ENGLISH MINISTER IN CHINA,
THE NEW AMBASSADOR TO wAsHINGTON-NO RE-

from tho London Times, Fob. 2S
The public will hear with great regret that Lord Lyons
the post Of British Minister ut Washington, which he has
filled for six years with much ability and judgment
No one indeed who knows the nature of the work which
he has had discharge during the hast four Of his
Office will be surprised at his being compelled to retire.
The physical labor which has boon ontaied upon
him would alone be enough to account for the necessity
of his resignation Mr. Layard account the other

registers and nsary all Of these contained
The close and muHiiudinous relations Of is contry ritx
Amsca have In fact been cntapged and twisted In ncx
tricnbe confusion, and these voluminous letters and
closures probably but inadequate representation
Of the nnumsrablc knots which Lord Lyons has had to
unite Questions Of blockade and Of nationality com
plants from British subjects demands by tho Britnh
government tho voluble dispatches Of Mr. Seward and
his incessant demands and these
combined have tasked the energies Of the mission and
the supervision Of tho minister TO aprobaby unprece

years the due conduct Of relations with the United
States have been omess the eztrens, and there has
scarcely been any moment within that period at which
those relations might not have been compromised by

iab prudent se control under the various excite
ments Of the time yet tho temper OF the American pub
ic has constantly been such that slight ndscrction
part might have made impossible for the President
and his minister to be moderate than the people
whom they represent II reflects the greatest credit
Lord Lyons during this critical and difficult period
he has uniformly smoothed the roughnesses and adjusted
the difficulties which arose and that Mr.. Layard could
say tho other night that n no has he not
received tho entire approval Of her Majcsys govern

The more satisfactorily however, he has filled his
difficult post the greater regret at his enforced
tiromcnt, particularly at moment when clouds all
sides threaten difficult n not stormy course 10 the
pilot Of interests in America Lord Lyons has
the ship Of the American State drift from safe barbor
tuous sea- II Il no wonder II he is overwcared by the
strain Of watching her perous rise, but he resigns
dcult and uncertain task to his successor 1t h. in
deed extraordinary TO reflect upon the changes which
his comparatively short term OF Office has witnessed
period is not always to be measured by the mere
lapse Of time, and succession Of events has been

long ago, too many and too vast for the lifetime
of man. He appointed in 1853 yet

Office Of Minister IN China but happens opporuney,to
he in England There TO doubt that In max
Ing this selection the government have had ample re
gard 10 the qualifications necessary for the oce Sir "
Bruce has greatly distinguished himself by his conduct
OF troublesome negotiations with the Court Of Pekin
and though he will have r>vy dcrcn' prsons 10 deal
