serve that Mr.. John Walter, the pub
Usher Of the Times, in London, the
most influential newspaper in the
world, has been able to divest HIM
self Of the prejudice which the British
aristocracy had inculcated against the
United States for a whole century, SO
far IS to speak kindly of eur people and
snoouragingly Of the government and
future prospects of the country. MIR.
walter has only recently returned to
his home after visit to the United
States with his wife and family. He
travelled extensively here, and was the
recipient Of the splendid hospitality
which such rich and influential journal
lists as Messrs. Able, of the Baltimore
Sum- Child, Of the Ledger, Bennett,
Of the N. Y. Herald, Jones, of the

their own fortunes and were well able
to show Mr.. Walter the grand features
OF the great country, of whose rapid
prosperity and growth, their own
huge fortunes alone were sufficient to
surprise the most of the English
aristocraoy, who have been taught for

pervaded the higher circles of the
English people that led Dickens,
Trollope and other celebrities years ago
to visit the United States, and after
enjoying the hospitality of our best

after their return to England.
Mr. Walter has perhaps more infu-

gentleman, and his language as it was
cabied to US yesterday, shows that he
holds an exalted estimate of the
United States, its government and its
people. So high indeed is this esti..
mate that he takes the liberty to ad.
wise Englishmen to immigrate to
america. Mr.. Walter is reported as
saying through his great newspaper
that "any Englishman going to
America. WHO'S a good Judge of land
