ions of restored vigor and prolonged life as the reward of a six months or year's absence. He agreed to my view, but said, It is useless; I must go. My duty requires it. On his last morning in London he breakfasted at the Westminster deanery, the guest of Dean and Lady Augusta Stanley. It was Monday, November 11, when the tidings of the great fire in Boston had just come. Lady Augusta inquired about Trinity Church, then on Summer Street, where the funeral rites of her brother, Sir Frederick Bruce, had been performed, and Sumner said, We know not whether Trinity Church now exists. It was indeed a ruin. Mr. Story adds his recollections of this breakfast at the deanery:— The last time I saw Sumner was at the breakfast-table of Dean Stanley. It was a delightful company, and Sumner was in great force, enjoying it thoroughly. We were all gay together, and tried to forget that our parting was so near; but at last the cab was announced which was to carry Sumner to the stat

Later from Europe. The latest arrival from Europe is to the 1st of March: Great Britain--Resignation of Lord Lyons--Political significance of his successor's appointment. Lord Lyons, who has long suffered from ill health, has resigned the post of Minister from Great Britain to the United States, and Sir Frederick Bruce, who has been Minister to China, is to be his successor. The London Times, commenting on the appointment of Sir Frederick, says: By a fortunate coincidence, he will arrive in America just when Mr. Lincoln will have entered upon his second term of office. It will, perhaps, have an opportune significance that a new Minister should thus be accredited to the United States at the commencement of this new period in her annals. A wild fancy had, a little while ago, possession of the American mind, that England and France contemplated a sort of underhand recognition of the Confederacy on the 4th of March by acknowledging Mr. Lincoln as President only of t

Our sincere condolences are respectfully proffered to Sir Frederick Bruce, the new British Minister to Washington. His predecessor, Lord Lyons, has been literally talked to death by W. H. Seward, in the interminable diplomatic correspondenceument would meet the exigencies of the British Government at Washington since the days of a very different Frederick from Bruce, viz: Frederick the Great. He is said to have been very fond of disputation, and, at the same time, very overbearing. W mother's son born in America, who has a pair of lungs, believes himself born an curator, and, as a countryman of Sir Frederick Bruce once said, "the more capacious the lungs, the madder the man, until you find some tremendous demagogues, each of wsuch a constituency could scarcely be expected to do justice to a fight between millions of men in four years; and Sir Frederick Bruce will have to hear the interminable sequel of that story, and discuss, as best he can, the innumerable, points of i

From Europe. The malls by the steamship Cuba, at Halifax, have arrived. We glean the following items: Earl Russell, the new English Premier, is sick. Having a cold, he stayed away from the recent Cabinet Council. According to the London Star, however, his illness is somewhat more serious. Sir Frederick Bruce, the British Minister, has been appointed umpire to a joint commission, representing the United States and the republic of Columbia, South America, for the settlement of claims arising out of the Panama riots of 1856. The official investigation into the escape of Stephens has been postponed until the close of the Commission, but the Inspector of Prisons, Mr. Corry Connellan, has been directed to answer certain interrogatories tendered to him by order of the Executive. A large number of persons of considerable position are said, by the Dublin Evening Mail, to be seriously compromised in the affair. The Paris journals are strictly forbidden to speak of
