The Amcrico-Chinese Mission.

In the House OF Commons on the 9th inst. Mr..
Osborne asked the Secretary of State for Foreign AZ
fairs If the appointment by the Chinese government
OF Mr.. John McLeary Brown described In the foreign
office list as Assistant Chinese Secretary OF the Eng
lish Embassy In China TO the post of Assistant Col
league OF Mr. Burlingame, the new Chinese Ambassa-
dor, had been made with the OF the Eng
lish Envoy and Chief superintendent in China, and II
such appointment had received the sanction OF her
Maiestys Principal Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs; and If her Majesty's government intend to
enter into negotiations with Mr. Burlingame as chief
representative Of the Chinese Embassy so appointed
respecting the treaty OF Tien-tsin.
Lord Stanley said the appointment In question
was made with the concurrence OF the British Minis
ter In China. II was made In the first instance
Mr.. Burlingame's own responsibility; but upon the
matter being reported TO him he had no hesitation
under all the circumstances of the case In approving
the step taken. With regard to the latter part OF the
question: he could only say he was not aware at
present what his instructions were; but IL Mr. Bur-
lingame arrived, as he presumed he would, duly ac-
credited as the representative OF China, lie would be
prepared TO enter into negotiations and discussions
with him on all matters affecting the Chinese en-
pire.

speech Of Lord Stanley on the Alabama claims was
not 50 much reply to Mr.. Lefevre as an appeal to

For this purpose it will probably be more effective
than any despatch which he might have addressed to

Mr.. Disraeli, on the 10th, received deputation
which included Messrs. w. +. Forster, Potter, Jacob
Bright. members of Parliament and others, to advo-
cate the claims OF the Manchester Education bill.
Mr. Disraeli said the government was most anxious
to bring about the carrying out OF that will
give general satisfaction and that VIII meet those
wants which no longer be denied and which
must certainly be satisfied. He agreed with them in
thinking that all parties ought TO Join in bringing
about such result and he felt assured the country
would not allow the question Of education to become

SENATOR POMEROY, OF KANSAS
HIS ARTECEDENTS.

The Leayenworth Kansas Conservative
says that it was "no trap" when Senator
Pomeroy, Of Kansas, offered, through his
brother-in-law, TO Colonel Cooper, TO sell
four votes against Impeachment for $780,
600. He was to dispose of his own vote,
and three Others Of his Radical colleagues,
for that sum. The Conservative thus en-
lightena us in regard to POmeroy's ante
eedents. 1t says:
"POmeroy and his brother-in-law have
been in this business Of buying and selling
before. The first adventure of this kind in
Kansas was in the Legislature of 1861,
when he purchased forty-nine Republican
members TO vote for him for Senator, over
Marcus j. PARROT, and paid them out Of
the money deposited with him by the
generous people of the East 10 purchase
food and raiment for the starving poor Of
Kansas. Men are nov living in Kansas
who know about the amount paid 10 each
member, and who saw a portion Of the
money paid to the purchased. II appears
he is not now in the purchasing line; he
is occupying the role of salesman Kan
sans are you not proud ofyour Senator ?"

STURDY OLD BEN.


The sad fate of sturdy old Ben carries
with it as its sequel striking illustration
of the uncertainty Of human hopes and the
transitory character of human friendships.
Let us hope that one 30 eminent for his
piety, and 80 meek and devotional in all
his ways, was not unprepared for such mis-
fortunes, but that that Christian fortitude,
seasoned with Pagan swearing, which has
borne him through previous trials and tri-
bulations has enabled him TO bear up un-
der his latest and, in all probability, last
political afiliction. Still, one cannot help
remembering how great has been the fall
of sturdy old Ben, and all within month.

rnE LEGAL ADVERTISING evils.
ttt DIE. 4Gs

The Radical papers in the adjoining
Congressional districts that have been
designated to publish legal advertise
ments, complain that the Press and
Times of this city is seeking to draw GUS
tom from their districts,to which they are
entitled under the law. The McMinn'
vile Enterprise and the Shelbyville Re-
publican have Published lengthy articles
to show that an advertisement from the
Congressional districts in which they are
published inserted in the Nashville Press
and Times is not legal publication. We
believe the GAINESVILLE Patriot sets up
a similar claim, yet large number of
advertisements from the sixth Congress
sional district are inserted in the Press
and Times Now if these papers are
correct in the premises they assume, the
law is being constantly disregarded, and
sales made under advertisements thus
published are Illegal If the law is any
force, its meaning ought to be settled and
the rule strictly followed The McMinn-
vile Enterprise proposed to adopt plan
which would have tested the meaning of
the law in this respect and that was to
publish and charge for all advertisements
sent from its district to the Press and
Times We do not know that the Enters
prise carried this purpose out We no.
tieed, however, that John p. Murray,
Esq, has inserted a legal adyer-
tisement in the McMinnville Neio
Era which the Enterprise claimed
was contrary to the law and void, but it
declined to publish the advertisement
without being authorized The Enter
prise evidently feared to run muck"
against lawyer, and therefore this legal
advertising swindle was not subjected to
the test of the law
The Trenton Gazette of the 30th ult
says:
awe learn from the bar at this place
that his Honor, Judge Somers, presiding
in Chancery, decided that the act of the
Legislature directing all the legal adger-
Using of the State to be done 10 such news
papers as might be designated by the Gov
ernor and confirmed by the Senate, was
only directory and with the consent OF
| parties, except in cases Of non-residents,
could be done by handful advertisements
without indicating the proceedings"
The Fayetteville Observer stated two
or three weeks ago that Chancellor Steele
had rendered similar decision in the
Chancery Court at that place. The add
vertisement of sales under decree of the
courts or otherwise by handbills would
be more advantageous to the parties in
terested than in papers having the very
limited circulation enjoyed by those dec
signated to do the legal advertising.
