lFROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
LONDON, Jan. 9-It is great advantage to send
MS an ambassador Of all work. Mr. Reyerdy john
sons natural affinity for dinners is becoming uni
yersaly appreciated, and when dinners fail him a
tea meeting does not come amiss, and IN default OF
tea an address is not despised. The other night the
Rev. Newman Hall. who some time ago visited
America. and brought home wonderful reports which
excited the astonishment and greatly excited the be-
lieyng powers of Americans exhibited the Minister
at tea party at his house. And the newspapers
you may be sure, were duly apprised thereof, and
Mr. johnson made speech, pledgng international
amity to every one present. THIS was not perhaps,
out Of place at Mr. Halls tea table, that excellent
meaning but ostentatious intcrnatonalist Is about
the clumsiest friend America has entertained. Mr..
Hall conceived OF congenay grasped the conception
when presented t. him. that Mr. Johnson rejected IN

Ragged School had rather anticipated Mr.. Hall-for
a few nights ago they utilized Mr.. Reverdy Johnson

The people of Luton having new building 10 open

have written TO Mr.. Johnson to invite him. You have
sometimes thought it necessary that John Bull should
be trepanned to get idea into his head; but when
it is fairly lodged there it is impossible to get
it out again. Just now the excellent old gentleman
thinks that the right thing TO conciliate the Amer
can people is TO give your Minister an infinite success
sion of dinners. He has been very dis
tinctly told that this does not concili-
ate you. lie has been told that the
American nation has turned away its ears from this
obrusiye ceremony Of loquacity. Still the eonyval
babblement goes on, and well-meanlng old John per-
sists that YOU delighted with ~. You want the
Alabama claim settled and John gives your Minlster
