There are, besides, the Claims of shipowners, merchants and underweiters 11 tus country Who have $. tered by the setzure of thetr property by the federal land forces and the federal cruisers, and from the heavy expenditure entailed upon claimants in the federal pri.e courts. Passing from clauns originating with the civit war, there are the questions of the San Juan bonndary, about which a few years since we had some warm correspondence with the Cabinet of Washington; of the policy of the American govern- ment in respect to Central America and the West Indies, and last, not leas’, the question of the American tarifs, the American coasting trade and the inland navigation of the States. There 1s no reason, so far as We Can see, Why an understanding should not be arrived at on all these quescions by We present Commission, A great deal will depend upon the manner in which the Engileh Commission- ers discharge their functions, Onr friends across the Atlantic sre more sensitive than is generally be- leved, and they have net, we fear, been treated by our diplomatiats at all times with the consideration to which they are justly entitled, and which the gov- ernments .f Continental States invariably receive at the hands of our Foreign Miaisters, We have never bel.eved that the Alabama claims presented of themselves any fermidable diMculty, but it 1s lee the question which, improperly handled, might lead to & serious misunderstanding. ‘The Ameri- cans know very well that they have at all times in- fisted upon their mght, as neutrals, to deal with bellizereats in all articies, ships im: cluded, They are not so unfau as Ww deny to us the exercise of aright which they claim for them- selves. We say, therefore, that, the foundation of these claims not being sound, the claims themselves, when they ceme to be examined dispassionately be- fore an international commission, must abate. The fisheries question, if carefully examiued, will be found to pe somewhat more complicated and to pre- sent a somewhat unerpected feature. It is quite true that the Treaty of 1518 reserves strictly tie three-mille lait to the Rritisa fishermen, it 18 also true that American fishing vessels have been iound of late, and in many instances, within these Limits, This will not ve denied; but the Americans contend that the efienders had brought their vessels in for repairs or sheiter, aad which, under the tirst article ol the Treaty of Isls, they have a right to do, to say nothing of the free access to Britis! ris accorued to American vessels in common with those of ali other nations. Jf the American fishermen, there- fore, who have been caught within tie three-ntle limit could show that they had entered for repairs or sheiter, that would be @ good answer to acharge | of violauing the treaty. This is a point which seems, up to the present time, to have escaped those who have discussed tails fishery question. It has, probably, becn Jost sight of in the excitement which the repeated invasions of the fishery mits, and the steps taken by the Canadian authorities to uphoid the treaty, have created. Perhaps the strongest feeling which has been thus elicited 18 on the side of the Canadian: it as they will be fully and ably represented on the Commission, it may be hoped that a satisfactory adjustment may be arrived at, and the whole question of these fishery rights placed upon an intehigible and proper foot We do not beijeve, and we never have beieved, that there 1s any intention on the part of American statesmen to sanction a disregard of treaty obliga- tions and attempt to assume territorial rights which appertain te the British crowa. The ciaims of British subjects Whose property was seized or destroyed curtog the war need present no diniculty. Once the Tight to compensation is conceaed, the rest 1s merely a question of amount. The points of difierence which may arise respecting terri- tory ought not at this time of day to invelve prolonged discussion We have more possessions in the West indies than we can turn any account; and if we were to hand oyer the Bahamas group tothe States fer a proper equivalent, we Shouid be getting rid of @ useless aunual expendi- tare, and we should confer ap obligation on the Union which would render other concessions to British interests matters of certainty. ‘Tne opening of tie American coasting and lake trades is, no doubt, a large question, but it will net Low be dis- cussed Jor the first time, Every enlightened poliil- cian in the States Knows that the adoption of this: policy is, like the redaction and eventual abolition of tusport duties, but a question of ime.

Garibaldi, I need not tell you, has been the most complete sensation of the sitting. Among the first to enter, he was not the least to attract attention. He was ostentaiiously dressed in his Garibaldian costume, and always remained witn covered head. The Gencral bears the marks of age, though but now sixty-seven years old, and exhibits signs of rapid physical, if net mental, decadence, Sie appears childish and self-contamed aswell. The Italian saton a bench to the leit of the tribune and near tne members of the govern- ment, who were placed nearest the President. In the tribune of the dipiomatio corps were the Prince Metternich, of Austria; Lord Lyons, British Mints- ver, and Uhevatier Nigra, Minister from Itaiy ‘The house was brilliautly lighted; Indeed, no sit- Ung can be held here without some artificial tlumt- nauion. ‘The theatre was constructed especially for night acting, and for that alone, but now it is ‘The slicing is now under way, and after a prelimi- nary address upon the organization tue President deciares he tias received a lewer addressed to tie Assembly, He read: ‘OCrroxE“s PRESIDENT DEI, AGSEMBLEE NATIONALE — AB alast duty to render to the cause of the French republic Thave come to bring you my vore and place it in your hanvia, Tienounce the functions of Deputy, of which L have been ‘Lonored by divers departments.

Jules Favre stoops a little, yet is impressive.

Mr, Herman had been in the hospitat for five aays suflering from the dread disease, days since aller being perfectiy cured, man an idea of what horribie things are done in the Smullpox Hospital.

It would seem that THE GREAT POINT OF TROUBLE lies In the want of room for the accommodation of patients, Mr. Pitch, Warden of the Island, informed the reporter that he himseli supertntended the erec- top of the smallpox hospital aboat fourteen years go, and the idea then was to con- wuct a building suitable oniy for the ception Of sixty fents, sone of whom ere to be OF Uhat class Who could easily afford to pay all expenses metdenta! to the sickness.

Tie Canard steamer Rugsia, which arrived at her dock Jersey City yesterday morning, brought Sir Stafford Henry Northoote, Bart, late Chancellor of the Exchequer in the Derby-Disrae!l Ministry.

But ils awful fondness for figures ts not ap- eatire ignorance on all matters of tmportance, his ardent desire to be considered diplomatically a reguiar oyster.
