POSTPONEMENT OF THE DISCUSSION ON THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.

The House of Commons, at the request of Mr. Gladstone, has very wisely, we think, postponed further discussion of the Alabame claims during the present -year. Nothing could now be gained hv debating the question at issue. The British people are quite satic- fied with the a¢tion of Lords Stanley and Clarendon, and have no wish at present to eritfeise their conduct. Iu fact, so far as the Preys is concerned, we have recently had ; — ae assion-anent the Alubema. The taking of Mr. Sumnep’s ech au serieux bv the Lot journals delised us with a flood ef vbservasions, which, however true as general proposifions, were irrevalent when based o that gentleman's brilliant fallaciee. Had the London Presse cealized the ex ct stufus of this polished orator, afd the fittle weight otiached to his uet ous hy the people of t!e United States,his fympoue speeeh would hace been cis- missed in yery bricf paraztaphs. Having been thus surfeited, 4 renewal of the controversy by ita Wutroducfon into, the Commens, at the preseut jubgture, would have been extremely tiresome,

It is we'll, too, on other grounds, that any further debate shovld be postponed. The eh Sarak Britain have gone, shrough their fepresentatives in the regent negotiations, to the Ssipseslig'y of, goncession, and. the events of the pastdew monthg have shown that these, ¢y igang have nat been met ina spinit ty the go aid people of the United tates. reasanable offers gf gr, rangement inode hy the former have not been aegepted, and however much they may resvet the refusal of the Americans to settle matters on the basis a» gyested, they cannot act further ying the initiative has been taken by the rep~ reyentatives of the Vyited Suates The matter the #ipregent entinely with the governs ment af the jaiter country.
