MR.. REvERDY JOHNSON AT LIVERPOOL.


LONDON Oct 2A-When Mr. Reverdy johnson
set out for Liverpool The Star remarked that he had
started upon journey likely to prove more mOmen-
tous in It's consequences TO himself than any he had
ever undertaken in his whole life believe may
say that loyal Americans and English friends to
America had done their utmost TO keep Mr.. johnson
and Mr.. Lard apart There is no reason to suppose
that Mr. Laird was particularly solicitous to meet
Mr. johnson, but Mr.. Johnson's desire to publicly
testify his sense of Mr. Laird's services TO
his Southern brethrenwas too lively to be controlled
II Mr.. johnson had signi6ed an opinion, as Lord
Stanley did that it better for public reasons he
should not meet Mr. Laird, nothing more would have
been needed Mr. johnson chose to send message
exactly the contrary TO that and his meeting with
Laird was as distinctly his choice as if he had
invited the builder of the Alabama to dine with HIM
Upper Portland Pace-as he probably has before this
Nor was Mr.. johnson content that his fraternizaton
with Laird should be silent Therapeutics for
the London press were not likely to describe the
effnsion with which these gentlemen shook hands.
The TACT OF the meeting could not be concealed but
Mr.. Johnsons demonstrations of cOrdiality might
have passed unrecorded. II was he again who chose
to proclaim with brayado and insult to those who
had warned him against this mad act. ~ was can

"whefh BY friends merely friends or not il is not for

aided or encouraged my Southern brethren during

SPEECH OF THE KING.
BERLIN, Nov. 4.-King William to-day opened the
session of the Prussian Diet with speech from the
throne He said new sources of revenue were needed
10 provide for the increased expenditures of the
Kingdom The relations of Prussia with all foreign
powers were satisfactory and friendly. He hoped
that Spain would succeed in independently reconstl-
tuing her affairs on basis which would render the
future welfare of her people secure. The King con-
sluded by declaring that the wishes OF soverelgns
and the popular craving for peace would insure
peace and should remove those groundless fears OF
which advantage is too often taken by the enemies

Mr. Johnson escorted by Mr. Laird, visited the ship
yards of the latter. Here, no doubt, Mr.. johnson
was shown the historical spot where the keel of the
Alabama was laid the ways over which she glided
into the water upon her merry mission, and the buoy
in the river from which she finally slipped away. 1t
is not stated whether Capt. Bullock of the
Confederate Navy, who superintended her
building, was present to explain 10 Mr. John
son the qualities which enabled her
to outstripin speed both the merchant vessels who
were her victims and tie vessels Of war which churl
shly sought to interrupt her career Capt. Semmes,
il is only too certain was absent bnt it is believed
dispatch has been sent to his home in Memphis, ro
questng his immediate return No future banquet
to Mr. Reverdy Johnson will DO deemed complete
without his presence. Even the mrthfulness of the
pending negotiations between Lord Stanley and Mr.
johnson lacks the zest of his jovial humor 1t is
thought he will be able to testify in respect to the
value of the ships to be burned, to reduce the
extravagant claims for damages presented by their
owners especially by sundry widows and orphans,
whose fortune had been foolishy invested in of
the vessels which fell in Capt Semmes's way.
Mr. Gladstones presence at the dinner was
bunder which he lost the opportunity of retrieving
by frank confession Of his errors during the war.
He has always seemed to feel himself under the
necessity of defending the Russell administration
and its cOnnivance at the escape of the Alabama.
Mr. Gladstone was then Chancellor Of the Exchequer,
but inasmuch as Earl Russell has acknowledged his
mistake, it cannot be sentiment of loyalty to his
chief which binds Mr.. Gladstone all occasions to
withhold such a personal atonement as he might
easily make. Americans would be glad to like him
and to forget his hasty words, If he would but let
them. His speech at the Liverpool dinner, in itself
considered calls for neither criticism praise 1t
contributed something. perhaps to the peculiar
elevation Of spirits which led Mr. johnson late in the
evening to make a second harangne. concluding
with passage which Mr.. Charles James Yellowplush
himself might strive in vain to surpass
