Tho Nov York 1S3b.sae remarks that the
Rritish uaembefs ,offhaajoiDt high com
Hipai9n, which h9vegarriyed. jn9 thia
o8pptry, come in the interests Of peace
eSan anspicious time. and under ,circnm-
stances more promising than have ever
before esuFrounded the vexed negotiations
which two great aud kindred nationa ex.
pfot them to bring TO happy close. It.
predicts, thai they will be met every.
whore with the courtesy and cordiality
OF aPeople grown old enough to have
loss some of its first sensitiveness, and
grown too great to be eager for quarrel
or slow to reconciliation. It is to be
hoped THAT this prediction will be re-
slized. Mr. Disraeli, the conservative
leader in the House of Commons, COM
plaiped, in . late slaehiug speech in tho
House. that the tone Of the American
Governmert towards the Government of
Englandais different from that USED to-
WardEnthe eI government of any other
country. and although he had once at
tfibnted it to ''the rude simplicity of
RephbIican manners" it was not that,
fornothing could be more courteous than
the American tone to the Russian Go
vernmept. he referred also to speeches
In, the House of Representative, and
sAtd that il there is to be commission,
10 will be good opportunity for us to
como to a clear understanding on that
pNint-that Engisnd cannot be insuited
or!nlnred with impuuity; and, although
should look upon it as tho darkest hour
Id my life to support or even to counsel
IN this House war with the United
States, the United States must under
will MT
to be treated differently from other
countries" In the same speech Mr..
Dierseli denied that tho cause of the
Southern States during our late civil war
was taken up by either party in England.
Mr.. Gladstone. the premier, in brief
and pointed reply, expressed the opinion,
which was received with cheers, "tbat
our (their) best and safest course is to
trust to the judgment and good sense of
the mass of the American nation" This
ls sound advice, and the confidence will
not be thrown away, 80 far as it assumes n
prevalent disposition here among the
people to be Just and expect justice,
spite OF demngogcal politicians.
IRELAND. failure of the Glad
stone policy in Ireland, as exposed in
Parliament by the declaration of Lord
~~oAHoSsou, uoutlOucu III the cable de-
spatches, that disaffection existed there
to suoh an alarming extent that it would
be necessary to appoint secret commit
tee to investigate, confirms what wo have
all along said, that Ireland would never
be paoified by anything short of the re-
ssoration of the liberties of which she
has been deprived. Gen. Bourke, one
OF the Irish exiles, in his acknowledge
ment, on Thursday. of the civilities ten
dered him by our city council, saws the
Baltmore Sun, said that the canse of the
two countries, America aud Ireland, re-
publican liberty, was Identical. This is
no doubt the pervading sentiment of the
Irish people, and neither the discstub-
!lshment of the Irish Church, land re-
forms. nor anything short of the right
OF government, will give Irishmen
content An Investigating committee
need not be a secret one to ascertain dis
affection in that or any other oppressed
country, and the centuries this disaffeo-
ton has lasted in Ireland indicate that
it might be as we'll not to look for any
thing else 30 long US sens, of wrong
and injustice Gun be transmitted from
eire to son.
