      inconsistent lines of policy . The communication ! de-¦ cribad the olher day by ont Paris correspondent as having been made by a member of the British government to a personage of note at the Eljsee were strictly authentic . Their existence was denied by the organ of the Foreign Office , probably because they had not emanated from tnat department . Those communications expressed , we believe , the settled views of the First Minister and his Administration ; but by a singularity which we would hope to be unexampled in diplomacy , they did not correspond with the missiTes and instructions of the Foreign Minister . In short , the discrepancy of opinion whioh appears to have mani - fested itself on this occasion is said to nave been followed by a divergency of action , which niay ^ have amounted to what u gently termed insnbordinahon . ... „ . If this be so , the feeling of the pnblic will generall y be , Cassio , I lore thee , But never more be officer of mine .

      The appointment of Lord GranviUe to the Foreign Office is a guarantee for the Liberal tenor of the foreign polioy . Lord Granvjlle has not been long prominently before the public , but in a short time he ha 3 made great progress in public favour , and that not by any showy qualities , but bv tteltborouebly workman-like method of performing his business . "Whatever he has had to do he has done well , and some of- his tasks have demanded much industry , sound judgment , and the faculty of interpreting facts . Whatever subject he has handled * he has Bhown a perfect mastery of it , and he communicates his ideas with the simplicity which is the true medium for solidity , and whioh la more impressive than any rhetorioart , when the thoughts or facts presented are of intrinsic worth . As a man of business , too , Lord Granville has proved his efficiency ; he if acknowledged to be accessible , assiduous , patient in bearing and investigating , and kind without the fault of assfiatation , managing whatever he has to fio gently , yet firmly . "With these qualties , and a right English liberal spirit , he cannot but do well .

Walker , but who died leaving two-thirds of his estate to his sister Phoabe Barries . . and
