THE JOINT HIGH COMMISSION.

No Business Transacted Yesterday-More
Fishery Question Under COnsideratiOH.
WASHINGTON, March "a, 1871.
The English members of the Joint High Commits
sion were engaged to-day in preparing the mail for
the home government, and as Secretary Fish was
obliged to attend the session OF the Cabinet there
was no meeting or the Joint High Commission to-
day. The English commissioners dined at home,
and at nine O'Clock this evening visited the resi-
dence Of Senator sprague and paid their respects
to CHIEF Justice Chase.
This afternoon Secretary Fish called on the British
Commissioners at their residence to pay his re-
spects. Tomorrow evening Sir Edward Thornton
will give dinner to the commissioners at his resi-
dence.
The Commission have not got beyond the fishery
question, and there does not seem to be much pros
pect OF O satisfactory adjustment Of the points Of
dispute between the Canadians and our New Eng
land fishermen.
1t Is understood that Colonel John Warren, who
claims redress for imprisonment In England, has
been informed that his memorial will be
brought up for consideration whenever an
opportunity shall present itself, The present ind
cations are that the consideration OF claims OF this
class is to say the least exceedingly remote. In
this connection 1t is stated that all claimants will
receive timely public norlce, should any arrange.
ment be made for the adjustment OF their claims as
to what may be required from them In the way of
additional pape.s testimony.
