gsia5; That the era of good feeling between
900 KsgIand and the United States is rapidly
1s being re-estshlisbed is very manifest
This Is due in great measure to the
j - change of policy on the part Of the British
-Ha government. England has already laid
7, = her heavy hand upon Laird's rebel rams,
- and will no lenger wink al the fitting out
ra L.of pirate ships in her ports to prey on
E-s American commerce The tone Of Earl
Russell as exhibited in late speech in
-g GLASGOW, and other indications Of more
friendly policy, as well as the spontaneous
- snd warm expression Of sympathy on the
s4gol psrt Of the common people of England, go
feD q great way to abate The asperiiies that had
go unhsppily arisen, and we're fast increasing
~ in strength and magnitude. Mutual mis-
spprebensions and Misunderstanding are
being explained, aud truer appreciation
Of intent aud design, spirit and purpose
O.. g is being established.
-- Its pleasing to notice that our Csnadi-
an neighbOrs are disposed to bear hand
in restoring and maintaining due proper
...i and desirable National amenities between
the two countries. From an extended ar
'ia'- tiele in the Toronto Globe, of November
Sd. we take great pleasure in making the
4 following extract;
.zi HThs speeches Of able and influential
tl-- EaRfish statesmen, and of an eloquent
@ American eleFgymen, have done much to
ia5s clear away from both the English and the
American mind, those prtiudices and mis-
conceptions on which our crOakers have re-
lied as infaIlibly leading at no distant
day TO an outbreak Of hostilities. The
-a-7 words spoken by Earl Russell at Blair
Ezt gowrie and the more recent speech Of At
torney General Sir Roundell Palmer we're
admirably calculated to allay any irrita-
BILE feelings whibh may have been excited
in the minds OF the people of The United
States, by Misunderstanding and mis-
-1i- representalio OF the attitude Of the En-
elish people and Of the course pursued by
their Government with reference to the
81 American quarrel. And to Judge from
the zone of our American exchanges, to a
i,7- very large extent they have had that eff
feet. The friendly remarks of those dis
tinguished members Of the British Gov
eminent have been generally received by
49, the American press in the ZANE spirit in
which they were uttered, aud the results
may be expected to flow from their wide
circulation through the Northern States,
as the well-considered expression by
prominent English statesmen of English
feelings and English policy with reference
10 the American war On the other hand,
Mr.. Henry Ward Beecher has been contri-
buting quite as important aid toward the
maintenance Of friendly relations between
England and America. In his recent ap-
pearances before immense public meetings
in the principal cities of England and
Scotland, be Eas been rendering most eff
oient service as a missionary Of peace and
GOODWILL. Two things be has accomplish =
ed. He has helped 10 make Englishmen
understand better the feelings and aims
s Of his countrymsn; and he has succeeded
in dispelling the notion that the sympa-
thies of the great English heart in the
present strus gle are with the Southern
slave drivers. He has felt the pulse of
the English nation at mass meetings in
the great centres of intelligence and in.
dustry, and can report back TO his own
people, that the English heart beats
warmly for the cause Of liberty on this
continent.
altogether, Mr.. Beecber and his
eountrymen have every reason 10 be sat
isfed with the reception he has had in
England. Ills speeches, and the response
they ELECTED, must have done much TO
smooth away any of the asperites pro-
duced by the Trent affair remaining on
both sides of the Atlantic. Almost sim
ultaneously, the speeches of Earl Russell
and Attorney General Palmer, and the
seizure Of the rebel rams in the Mersey,
have exeTted a powerful and beneficial
tendency in the same direction. Every
~. Canadian should rejoice at the prospect
thus afforded Of q growing feeling of
goodwill between the two Countries
