NEWS OF THE WEEK.

WE note with satisfaction that the German Emperor and Empress have accepted the King's invitation to visit Lim at Windsor next autumn. The public reception accorded to their Imperial Majesties will, we are convinced, be of the most cordial kind. Though we may feel that the policy and aspirations represented by the German Emperor are of a kind with which the British public cannot be expected to be in sympathy, the Emperor himself has always been popular here. The brilliancy and energy of his personality, and the unsparing sacrifice of personal pleasure and gratification to what he believes to be for the good of his country, are a source of admiration to Englishmen of all classes.
