According to the best information from Washing
ton and else where, it is now almost certain that,
with an ordinary share OF common sense and COM
mon prudence, all the difficulties between England
and The United States will be settled and Terminated
by the ashburton mission, and in a manner sa,lsiac-
tory 10 both countries. The Boundary Question Is
already in a fair train, and according TO our accounts
from England and Africa, the right oil search caHho
form any point of difference.
BY an arrival at Salem, we learn thal on d recent
occasion the British brig of war Brisk twice boarded

The Captain of the Mermaid says that ne was
sstreated. on both occasions, win great ciVllity by
the boarding officer, and no attempt was MADE 10
search his vessel. The officer would not even enter
the cabin, without a particular invitation. Captain
C. was informed by British officers, at ST. Helena,
that their government had given precise orders to
abstain from proceedings of an offensive nature,
such as the removal of hatches, and similar proceed
ings which have been complained of heretofore.
Even in the British colony of st. Helena, public
opinion was strongly expressed against the former
seizure of the bark Jones, of Salem" This seems
to correspond with the principles laid down in Lord
Aberdeen's letter to Mr.. Everett, about the orders
sent out TO American cruisers not TO modest Ameri-
can merchantmen.
So far, so well. The other points of difference
are matters of indemnify, involving no principles,
but mere small amounts, not sufficient TO create a
ripple on the surface of society. But the most i'm
portant movement made by England, calculated to
cement the peace of the two countries, is the new
modification of the British tariff, proposed by Sir
Robert Peel. This tariiftakes away the ground on
which the ultras of both countries stood-and comes
downwards to the principles of free trade and reel
procity, to an extent far beyond the hopes OF the
most s~anguine. If this new tariff goes into opera
lion in England, it will vastly increase the trade be-
tween the two countries, and bind them both in
more amicable bonds than any anticipated.
We fancy, then, that Lord Ashburton will find
every thing smooth and agreeable in his mission,
and that it will terminate to the satisfaction of both
countries.

THE COMMON CoUScIL.-lti is now ascertained that
the lecofocos are determined to hold on to the Sth
ward, as it has been decided by their inspectors, re-
jecting the gum tickets. They also intend to re-
fuse Mr.. Allerton his seat as Assistant Alderman for
the 18th ward; and to entirely annul the election in
the 9th ward. This, as a matter of course, is pro-
ducing a great deal Of excitement, and a great deal
Of interest all over the city. And one of the imme-
date results is, a libel suit against a party paper the
Tribune" which will probably end in an iadict.
ment; and no doubt cause a series Of libel suits, and
indictments all round, before they get through with
it. This will produce a terrible collision shortly.
Already, the clubs on both sides are organising for
the coming contest, and getting brimfull o flight; and
therefore in the first week of May we may expect
terrible smashing work, and any quantity of broken
heads. "Blood will flow" in this quarrel, and there
is no mistake about it.
