LONDON, Sept. s, 1858.
Yesterday Hon. Reverdy johnson. the American
Minister, delivered another speech in Sheiield This
speech was in reply to address presented oy the
corporate authorities of the city.
Mr. Johnson said that in the discharge OF the du-
ties of his position he anticipated no trouble 30 far
as the preservation Of peaceful relations between
the United States and England was concerned;
but the high and deserved reputation achieved
by his illustrious predecessor, Mr.. Adams,
had made difficult the task Of succeeding him
with equal acceptability. The highest aim Of
his mission would be to do as well. The
speaker repeated what he had said to the
cutters yesterday, that q rupture Of the friendly
relations now existing between the United States
and Great Britain would be impossible, on account
OF the identity Of race, language, institutions and
aspirations. The character of Queen Victoria for
babe the possibility OF such rupture. Sgs 10y g.
MIR. Johnson refuted the assertion of MI. Roebuck,
of the representatives in the House OF Commons
from Sheffield, that the people Of the United States
were heterogeneous He maintained that the foreign
emigrants who landed on American shores all
merged in one great nation, and that nation was
English, and they did not vtiate the community by
importing vices with them.
