LONDON. Sept. 5.-Yesterday Reverdy johnson,
the American Minister, delivered another speech
in Sheffield. This address was i'm reply to an adj
dress presented by the corporation authorities Of
the city. Mr.. johnson said in the discharge of the
duties of his position he anticipated no trouble so
far as the preservation of peaceful relations be-
tween the United States and England we're con-
cerned, but the high and deserved reputation
achieved by his illustrious predecessor, Mr. Adams,
had made difficult the task of succeeding with equal
acceptability. The highest aim of his mission
would be to do as well. He repeated what he had
said to the cutters yesterday, that the rupture of
the friendly relations now existing between the
United States and Great b itain would be impos-
sible on account of the identity of race, language,
institutions and aspirations.
The character of Queen Victoria forbade the
possibility of such rupture. Re repeated the as
serton of Mr.. Roebuck, one of the representatives
in the House of Commons from Sheffield, that the
people ofthe United States heterogeneous, and
maintained that foreign emgrants who landed on
the American shores all merged in great nation,
and that nation was English, and they didn't
vitiate the community by importing vices with
them.
The London Times of to-day has a lengthy edito-
rial the subject of Mr.. Johnsons recent speeches
at Sheffield. The Times comments favorably on
his declarations regarding the heterogeneousness Of
the American people, and thinks that the people of
the United States as much an English unit as
the people of England, where Irish, Scotch, French
and Germans make so large share of the popula-
ton.
Referring incidentally to the general elections
soon to occur in England, the Times says: What
ever may be the result of these elections, the
reciprocity of feelings between the United States
and Great Britain are certain to ensue.
