Among the matters Of practical interest now
before Congress is q movement to reduce our
small currency TO something like order and sys-
TEN by calling in the small notes under twenty
Eve cents and the incongruous set OF low coins
now in circulation, and the substitution for the
whole Of them Of = uniform coinage OF one, three,

and relative weight as the present hye cent nickel
coin.

BY THE ATLANTIC CABLE.
LONDON. March s.-Debste on the Alabama
claims very pacific.
Lord Stanley defended Engand's right to recog.
nize belligereDts.
John Stuart Mill said he regarded the present
condition OF the question as the result of ma.
tual mistake. The real question was whether
England was bound to prevent such expeditions
United States government claimed or could claim
that the recognition of the South was a violation
of law, but only that II was an unfriendly, rash
and unprecedented act The American govern
ment only pressed the point for the purpose of
showing that but for the unfrendly action Of Eng
land the Alabama depredations would not have
occurred.
Mr.. Gladstone inferred from closing sentences
OF Lord Stanley that communications between
the two governments had not closed, and that
friendly feelings between the United States aud
England would be preserved. He concluded by
saying: - II his inference was correct, the whole
country would support Lord Stanley 10 final
and honorable settlement of the case"
In the debate Lord Stanley took the foor
warmly complimenting Adams for the conciiatory
spirit displayed in the subject under discussion.
He said, We could not make indiscriminate con-
cessions, but we could learn the right Of the case
There never was a case where there was more
need Of understanding the points. Much allow
ance is 10 be made for the feeling of the United
States Great Britain IN the same case. With five
millions Of debt. contracted through civil war in
which q million Of lives had been slost. might ap-
preciste the matter better than mere lockers on
only"
he thought England had been entirely neutral,
but no neutrality would have pleased America.
What the United States wanted was neutrality
coupled with warm sympathy and support
The queen was ready to arbitrate and submit
all questions but the great point OF recognizing the
belhgerent rights of the South.
The speaker referred to speeches OF Daniel
Webster, in the United States Senate, on the SUBJ
ject of Hungary, in support Of his argument.
How could England refuse TO recognize a war
which Mr.. Seward himself had announced to be 3
civil war nine twelve sixteen days before the pro-
clamationi Who could complain that England
has recognized q civil war which the United
States had admitted some weeks before.
In conclusion, he thought friendly arrange
ment of this difficulty was still practic abe. The
friendly reception of Minister Thornton at Wash
ington was a pledge of peace. The ministers
were ready to leave the question to the entire
world.
