Lord Clarendon has been selected as Ambassador Extraordinary to Berlin

on the occasion of the King's coronation, and will, we are told, leave on the 9th instant, taking with him Mr. W. Lester as private secretary, Arthur Cowell-Stepney, Esq., as secretary to the em- bassy, Lord Schomberg Kerr as attaché, and Lords Hinchinbrook and Dangan as unpaid attaches. The mission is a ceremonial one, and Lord Clarendon will doubtless support well the English reputa- tion for stately expense.
