EVEN G LON CITY: WASHIN SATURDAY.. January 31, 1857. SPIKITOF THE MORNING PRESS. The Uniox contains an elaborate essay on ‘Abolition,’ the first ef a series of six num- bers.

Nor should we much stress on y « | the time-honored objection that a public man in this country is of necessity a party man, and thata party man could not be trusted in a diplomatic post. Party men make excellent chancellors and judges; why not am’ nied and envoys? . “ This is the only ground on which we se° wd reason against the appointment of Lord B ier as British Minister at Washing. A is previous career, he would sppear to, t. admirably fitted for any diplomatic ane tha ment in the gift of the Crown, save only the Vashington. He has been well ‘He has practiced the craft of diplo- maoy in Vienna. Teberen, Constantinople, Naples, St. Petersburg, and again at Constan- tinople He is, therefore, well adapted to re present his country in the East, or at any of the despotic and military Courts of Continen- tal Europe. The very assiduity, however, with which he has labored in his vocation at such poste, proves that he haz never had time to gain an insight into the working of free in- formation.—We have met with nothing of | stitutions He has now to complete his edu- late in the shape of a newspaper article more replete with useful information and naive confessions than the criticism of the London Times, which the reader will find below, upon the alleged appointment of Lord Napier tobe her majesty’s minister at this Capital. Where- in it pots us—the United States—on the back for an exceeding'y clever people, full of prom- ise and already een’amost too big for cur breeches, (having growa so fast of late.) Itis the London 7imes all over; the invariable policy of that journal towards this country be- ing to pet us where it does rot seem prudent to mub us. So, the American world will merely thrust its tongue in its cheek on resd- ing what it ssys after that fashion. Whereia it explains that the received diplomacy of the Old World is essentially out of place here, it unwittingly pays us a very high ¢-mpliment indeed; intimating as it does thst objects of state are not to be attained here by a resort to falsehood, bribery and blandishments, that mind, charazer and solid attainments will alone win for their possessor when accredited to this Government, the icfluence with which, the editor contends, the interests of Britain should be protected and advanced at this point. But the most important portion of the ar ticle in qaestion is the frank admission thst | all the trouble that bes taken place between England acd tho Wnited States has, after all tothe contrary heretsfore so vehemently in- aisted on by the same journal, been simply the result of the unfortunate selection of a representative by the English Government To Mr. Crampion’s conduct, and to that elone, does the Tims now attribute tho mystifica- tion and embarrasement of the Centra’ Amer- ean questions between the two Powers, con- cerning which he as imprudently es improp erly withbeld most important despatches; and his singular course on the-enlistment question, leading almost to a war between the two Pow- erg, must certainly have been in the editor's mind’s eye when penning the article we quote —as follows . Tas Arporstwest of Lorp Narier as Britiss Musister to rae Uxiren Staras — Lord Napier bas been appointed British Min- ister at Washington. The direct diplomatic communications which had been interrupted in co untoward a menver, are thus to be re- sumed again, snd again we are to have 2 res- ident British Minister to the United Stater. The results of our former experiments has not been very encouraging The great subjects ai difference which have ariscn between th country and the North Amerizan Confeder tion,from the Boundary Question to the more re- cent entanglements concerning Central Ame: - ica, have been settled either at home or by epecial mission. Our regular negotiators would seem rather to have embroiled us—rather to have given occasion for offence—than to have smoothed the passage from irritated feelings to the kindlier emotions of friendship and good will. Why shculd this be? Why, when we are so closely united by every bond of in- terest that the prosperity of the cotton dis- tricts of the States means the prosperity of the manufacturing districts of England—that a plevtiful crop in the Western States of the Union means plenty at a cheap rate through- out the ish islends,—that the commercial transactions of the Northern States are so in- tricately tound up with those of our own merchants thet they may almost be considered a8 identica!, although carried out by different hands? Why, we say, when these things are considered, should it be a difficult task to keep the peace between the States of the North American Union and the British Crown? The Londoner who lands at New York cannot convince himee!f that he is among “ foreign- ers,’’ nor could we readily believe that the traveler from New York would walk the streets of London with no other feelings than those which would affect him in the Linden street of Berlin or the Boulevards of Paris. It can only be by the grossest blunders of our respective Governments if we are ever dragged into an unwilling conflict with each otzer. The British Minister at Waebingion should have the easiest task of any member of the diplomatic body, save the United States Min- ister im London. How is it, then, that more than once a directly opposite rezult has fol- lowed from that which might have been anti- cipated under the circumstances. The answer, we fear, is, that the choice of the British representative in the States Ras too often been unfortunate. The mission to Washington ahouid be regarded as a most im portant one, a port which requires the pres ence of a very considerable man, or it shou!d be eliogether suppressed) We have hitherto deal: with it, practicaliy, as one of the second order, or as even lower in the scale of diplo- matiedignities Butsurely permanent friend- ship and alliance between Great Britain and the United States of North America are, to say the least, as important as similar relations between this country and any Continental Power. Tke existence of that great Con eration of Republican States, which is spre ing se rapidly across the North American con- tinen| Ss enormonsly to the authority with bh England can intervene in favor of lib- erty in Europe Although the States should bever man a ship-vi-war or fire a gun in anger, there they are. an enormous counterpoire to the despotism which eullenty lords it over the eactern and southern portions of the Old World Englisbman whe respects human- ity aud glories in the achievements of his re can ever be indifferent to the progress and de- velopment of liberty in the North Americsn Union. The pecuiiar conctitution of these countries, however, would seem to point to the necessity of a peculiar principle of selection when we dizpateh to them a Minister who ia to be the representative of Eogland. We would rather see hii selected from among the men who have risen to Parliamentary ewi- nence—who have won a bigh place in the esti- mation of their fellow countrymen, and who have habitually breathed the free air of the British islands. We would know him versed sa the doctrines of economic science, and well acquainted with the laws cf commerce. Of what great svail to the English Minister at Washington can be the habits acquired and the faculties cultivated by fawiliar iuter- course with despotic Courts? What can an Englieh Envoy bave learnt at Vienna or St. Peversburgh, that he would not be compelled to unlearn before he could serve his country . with effect at Washington? There is little need there of the insincere smile and the rev- erential whisper. Diplomacy in the States is diploma:y in the glass house. The value of secret information in that quarter would not be worth the paper on which it should be in- scribed. The public “ we care to eae Journals inform us of all regard to any import: * tions, communications are new os eieataes #0 rapid between the States and the u - try that they would necessarily be ecriet im obedience to instructions received from home. What we really require at Washington is the presence of a public man of sufficient Weight to influence the opinions of public men by daily intercourse with them—of one who has the sbility to stand forth as the exponunt of Kuglish views, and to hold his own sue most distinguished statesmen of the 80D vader, numberin; the refusal of obedience to the demand of the allies, Zavala cation at Washington. A better choice might have been made, but certainly many a worse one, a8 diplomatistsgo. It is not our wish to cavil at the man, for he enjoys a very high reputation for capacity; but we object te the system. The choice of our Minister at Wash- ington Id be an exceptional one, as the case is exceptional. A straightforward pub lic man, accustomed to popular forms, with an English tougue in his head—he needs none tac aseid he the best representative we could send across the Atlantic. Let us hope that a wiser system gf in time be adopted with regard to these diplomatic posts, and, meanwhile, wish Lord Napier joy of bi peointment. If he forgets well nigh all he has ever learnt, and takes warning by the exam- ple of his predecessors. he may do his country good service, even at Washington. The Texas Judiciary Question —We are glad to find among our delayed exchanges with which the re-establishment of inter-som- manication by mail has flooded us, many thoughtful and influential journals expressing views similar toour own upon the necessity for the only solution for the difficulties that have arisen concerning the acts of the United States Judge for the district of Texas. Thatis, by impeachment—due alike to him, if he be innocent, as to the canse of public justice if he be guilty. We quote the New Orleans press on the subject, as follows : «The subject of the impeachment of Judge Watrous, of Texas, is again before Congres:, and the opinion prevails at Washington that the impexchment will be ordered He is the District Judge for Texas, with the powers of a Circuit Judge, which gives him a great scope of power, and for years there have heen me- morials upon memorials to Congress from in dividuale, complaining of great personal beg from him, backed up by an applica- tion by the Legislature of the State, soeking for his removal from office by impeachment or esiguation. It is now said that the Ju liciary Committee of the House of Nepres: ntatives will report in favor of impeachment, unless a rearrangement of the district system and the formation of new circuits should abolish his court, and thus throw him out of office by legistation. There are some substantial: ob- jections to the getting rid of an accused judge to this way. If guilty of the offences charged, and they are many and weighty, he should not be permitted to go entirely unscathed by @ public condemnation; and if innocent, neither he nor his friends would desire to be thus discharged, without trial, with the stigma of a charge of heavy crimes resting upon him The case has been so much discussed, to the great agitation of the public mind in Texas, that it ougkt to be disposed of in some way, »— Picayune ‘It is understood that the House Commit tee on the Judiciary, which has had under long examination and consideration the charges of official misconduct made against Judge at- roua of the United States District Court, in the State of Texas, not only by the Legislature of that State, but by several private citizens who bad euffered from his wrongful acts, have de- termined to report a bill for the abolition of the Court with a view to its re-organization, and will, among other reasons for this step, urge the unworthiness of the present incum- bent. The policy and propriety of this course on the part cf the committee may well be quee- tioned ; for, if Jud; guilty of any of the offences alleged against Watrous has indeed been bim in so formal a manner by the legislature of a sovereign State, he should be impeached and rendered infamous; while, on the con- trary, if he be inrocent be should have the benefit of on acyuittal by the tribunal charged with the trial of oftences on the part of the Judiciary. ’"—Courier Nicaragua —That the Siar’s readers may comprehend the state of facts inducing us to pronounce Walker’s career at an end by this time we make the following extract from an Aspinwall letter of the 19th inst , published in the Tribune, merely premising that its statements are substantially borne ont by private information received in Washington before it (the letter) net our eye : “ At the commencement of the siege of Gra- nada, Henningsen had with him five hundred mex, and not four hundred, a3 has been etated. The allied army numbered seventeen hundred, undercommand of Gen Belloso. As regardethe manner in which the siege should be conduct- ed, he differed from the opinion of Gen.

After jenningsen to surrender, in Wanted to take the place by storm, Henning- sen’s force at this time having been reduced by disease and killed to one hundred men. Belloso refused to allow an assault, which re- tulted in a quarrel between the two generals, and Zavala called in Gen Canas, the com- mander of six hundred Costa Rican troops at Rivas, to arrange the differences. ‘In the meantime, Bellcso retreated with 1,200 troops, leaving Zavala at Granada with but 400 to 50) tocontinue the siege. Matters were now ata standstill, when the recruits under the command of Col Waters, which left the United States during the last of November, were landed by Walker to rolease Henning- sen, Walker himself remaining in the steamer These were evabled to cut their way through the forces of Zavalaand resoue Henningsen end his party, now reduced to only sixty men; while the loss of Colonel Waters’s command in the rescue was eighty-five. Walker and his troops then retreated to Virgin Bay, where the cholera, fever and black vomit broke out among them with fearful violence, and starva- tion only added to the horrors of their situa- tien. With the remnant of his foro: numbering less than 500 men, he retreated to St. George, where he still was at the last ac- counts, Ue Cost: Ricans thea having posses sion ef the San Juan river. **No person bere believes it possible that the possession of the San Juan can be recover- cd by parties sent to Walker’s assistance, even tucu.h they were to attempt to force a passage up the river with a thousand men. At Hipps Point, situated at the mouth of the Sarapiqui, the navigation of the river bas been purposely obstructed by filling it with logs for a distance cf balf mile, and the Point is defended by » force of 300 Costa Ricans, under the command of Col. Barriliier, a Zo formerly in the French vervice, and an able engineer and ex- perienced officer.

The Pres- ident elect, with other distinguished polfti- cians, graced the scene; while a brilliant array of female loveliness recalled Tom Moore’s description of Paradise. The belle of the evening was Miss G***r, although there were other young ladies—from New York, from Roxbury, from St. Louis, and from this capi- tal—who were deservedly admired.
