The French Mission.

Some surprise has been expressed that this
important mission was not filled previously TO
the adjournment of the Senate. We under
stand that it was rendered to James Gordon
Bennett, Esq, of this City, but declined d by him,
mainly on the ground that he could be of more
service in extricating his country from her
present difficulties at home than abroad.
Since Benjamin Franklin-in every sense our
first ambassador to France-we do not re-
member that an Editor has till now been des-
ignated for that post which demands in its in
cumbent full and intimate knowledge OF our
own and OF European politics, ripe general
experience, and a special familiarity with the
character and career respectively of the
leading gtatesmen of Europe. These qualifica-
tions we presume, dictated the selection OF the
veteran Editor of The Rerald.
We may here mention, as an interesting incl
dent, that Mr. Bennett met the present Empe-
ror ofFrance at private dinner party In Lon
don just before the fall of Louis Philippe when
the conversation turning on the condition OF
affairs in France, Mr.. Bennett remarked that he
had observed that almost the entire French
press was then opposing the Government The
remark made such an impression on Louis
Napoleon that he subsequently recalled the
subject and asked Mr.. Bennett what inference
he drew from the fact above noted. Mr.. B.
replied that, in the United States, such an atti.
tude Of the Press would forecast an approach
ing transfer of political power. The events
which soon followed proved this inference
equally sound with regard to France.-NeW

LORD LYONS REsIGNATIoN.-The Lendon
Times, in alluding to the change in the British
Embassy al Washington, says, that NO one
who knows the nature of the work which
Lord Lyons had to discharge during the last
feur years Of his Office will be surprised at his
being compelled TO retire, and adds, shut the
amount Of business thus transacted must, after
all, have been the least part of its burden. The
anxiety of the office must have been far more
trying than its labor. Seldom has there been
a more important POST at q more critical time.
The consequences which have depended for
the last few years on the due conduct of our
relations with the United States have been
momentous in the extreme, and there has
scarcely been any moment within that period
at which those relations might not have been
compromised by failure in courtesy or dis
cretion. MIR. Lincoln's Government, indeed,
has, 1t must be confessed, displayed q credita-
BILE or a prudent self. control under the various
excitements Of the times; yet the temper
OF the American public has constantly
been such that slight indiscretion on our part
might have made it impossible for the Presi-
dent and his minister to be more moderate than
the people whom they represent. It reflects
the greatest credit on Lord Lyons that during
the critical and difficult period he has uniform
ly smoothed the roughness and adjusted the
difhculties which arose, and that Mr.. Layard
could say the other night that sin no one in
stance has he not received the entire approval
of her Majesty's Government"

cial:
There wss more activity in stocks this morn
ing, but owing to the heavy decline in gold,
prices were generally lower.
There was reaction in gold during the af-
ternoon. majority OF operators appear TO
think the downward movement has touched
the lowest point; and under a general buying
to cover short contracts, the price had ad-
vanced at p m. TO 17SS.
There is trouble among the smaller gold op.
orators under their "long" contracts.
The names of some eight or ten firms, in the
gold business, are men toned as having failed.
Governments show the effect OF the decline
In gold. Five-tweaties were i lower on the
old issue, and y lower on the new issue Ten
forties were \ lower This decline, however,
is much below the actual appreciation Of the
respective bonds consequent on the decline of
the premium on gold.
Railroad bonds are dull and lower. Banks
are quiet.

Coffee-Market still unsettled by the heavy
decline in gold, and quotations altogether
nominal.
FloRr-There was a dnll market for all de-

all red; 500 bushels Maryland white sold al

at 90 cents weight The decline in gold caused
the market generally to close heavy.
Molasses-No sales.
Proyisions.-Stockso of all kinds were light
for the season, and holders not disposed TO
press sales in the present unsettled state OF
gold. No transactions to report, business
being confined TO moderate jobbing demand
for Bacon, DC.
Sugars-Were dull; no inquiry from the
trade, and importers not Offering their samples

Quotations, in the absence Of transactions, re-
main nominal.

eprin is coming, coming, coming,
With it's violets know,
FOR the partridge sits drumming
In the islands of the snow,
And the blue bird in the holly
Gsily trims his purple vest,
Ringing softly to the lephyrs
That are stealing from the west.
The erocus in the meadows,
Stretches up its tiny head.
RON the ever shifting sh hadows,
measine curtains round its bed;
hhile little streams are smiling
In the pleasant vaIiies lost.
At the sunbeams making music
With the fetters of the frost.
The feecy clouds are drifting
Slowly o'er the mountains crest.
And floating mists are lifting
Their mantles n ON its breast;
And mornings blossom brightly.
And evenings close with glee,
And life reckoned lightly,
Grows dearer unto me.
For troubles may be ended
Like winters, under flowers,
And smiles with tears he blended
As in early April showers,
while sorrows with their allies,
As gently pass away
AS darkness from the vallies,
At the coming of the dsy.
So let al idle sadness
And cheerless vexing fears,
Be frightened into gladness
With hopes OF future years,
Well knowing that the shadows
OF chilling tempests passed,
Will vanish in the sumIaer
OF eternal life at last
