Our Relations with England.

A COMMISSION TO ADJUST ALL Dir.
FIcuLTIEs.--fhe diplomatic correspon.
deuce between Sir Edward Thornton
and Secretary Fish, contains the graft
flying intelligence that the outstanding
difficulties between the United States
and Great Britain are at length in fair
way OF friendly adjustment The con.
illusions arrived at by the two govern.
ments, through their respective minis.
tiers, originated in a proposal from Lord
Granville for joint high commission to
meet at Washington for the purpose Of
treating of and discussing the mode of
settling the question as to the exteut OF
the rights belonging to the citizens of
the United States and her Majesty's
SUBJECTS on the coasts Of her Majesty's
possessions in North America, and other
questions affecting the relations Of the
United States to those possessions. In
reply to this proposal the President sug.
gested, as essential to the complete re.
establishment Of friendship between the
two nations, the adjustment Of the diff
ference which arose during the late civil
war, growing out Of acts committed by
several vessels, which have given rise to
the claims generally known as the Ala
bama claims" and proposed its refer.
ence also to the joint commission.
Lord Granville accepted, with a pro-
yiso that all other claims, both Of Brit
ish subjects and citizens of the United
States, arising out of acts committed
during the recent civil war, be similarly
referred and to this proviso the Presi.
dent gave his assent, suggesting, how
ever, that the high commissioners shall
consider only such claims OF this des.
cription as may be presented by the
respective claimants at an early day to
be agreed upon by the commission.
There eau Le no doubt that the great
mass of the people Of this country are
Interested in the preservation OF the
most friendly relations with Great Bri,
tain, aud the course agreed upon not
only opens the way to thorough, eq.i.
table aud honorable settlement of all
differences, but rebukes the spirit that
would keep alive the fires Of resentment,
aud ioolishly iniperil peaceful progress
and Development.
The President has nominated as com.
missioners on the part Of the United
Stats, Secretary Fish, Judge Nelson,
ex-Attorney General lloar, aud Senator
Williams, Of Oregon. Earl Dc Grey
was to have left England on the 10th,
Tor Washington, us president OF the
commission on the part OF the British
government. The President submitted
the diplomatic correspondence to the
Senate on the 9th, in executive session.
together with his message making the
foregoing nominations. The Queen, in
her speech at the opening OF Parliament,
expresses hope 10 advance of satisfac.
tory settlement Of all questions with
this country.
Spain has followed the example of
England in appointing joint commits.
sion to arbltrale pending claims between
the two countries. The U States has
much to complain of from the action Of
Spanish officials in Cuba during the
rebellion there. Several Americans
were murdered, others had their pro-
perry destroyed, aud ipnumerahla out.

GOOD HEALTH

Is boon that comparatively few can boast
Of Those who have enjoyed uninterrupted
health for a series Of years imagine themselves
to be proof against disease, and are careless
with their diet and their dress. Indeed, too
many of them are sowing the seeds Of consnmp-
ton. At first the slight but constant cough
attracts no attention; but it is only when the
disease increases In violence that II begins to
excite suspicion. The malady should at once
be checked, and for this purpose no remedies

is the only way to cure consumption.

A National soup-House.

The Washington Patriot suggests
national Soup House for the benefit Of
the lobbyists, 10 bbers aad other meudi-
canss who throag the Capital. There
is ono establishment Of the kind
there, already, on which Is expended
about million and halfof dollars per
annum. But that is for the ebony race.
Another seems to be needed to relieve
the mendicants OF paler hue who
throng the nations metropolis. The
Patriot says -
SO many beggars are just now knock
ing at tho doors of Congress for their
tickets for "Governmeut pap" that we
thiuk it would expedite business to have
such matters put in charge Of a separate
department, created for the purpose.
What with the various eeemosynary i'm
portuuities for so many railroad lines,
steamship subsidies, canals. lcvees,
schools, universities, State aud county
claims, pensioners, Re, there can scarce.
ly be doubt but that Congress may be
in the way Of "enteriaining angels I'M
awares;" and to turn all of with the
cold shoulder viii be as uncharitable as
to treat all applicants as honest and
siaeera would he foolish. The only
way in which this dilemma can possibly
be avoided, aud at the same time the
precious hours Of Congress not over
burthcned, will be to establish Depart.
ment Of Charities, into whose charge all
these applications for relief shall be
turned. Let US, therefore, have Ma.
tional Soup house, it for no other reason,
to clear the Hobbies at the Capitol Of the
thronging verminous lazzaroni who now
inlest them, bowling out their needs,
aud holding up the sores Of the nation
to the worlds contempt and adherence,
