We are very glad to see that our Yankee friends and relations seem , to be inclined to behave with more moderation , and that they have not misinterpreted the attitude of England towards them as regards the question of War or Peace . There is a laudable anxiety on the" part of the American press to soften
down the foolish and mischievous speech of Mr . Sumner , and to disavow the insolent tone of that manifesto . So far , so good ; Jonathan has made a false move , and the sooner he tries to retrieve it the better .

-monplaces about the anxiety of America to preserve friendly relations with this country , the community of our interests , & c . & c , our common addition to commerce and the arts of peacea curious expression , by the way , as if commerce meant whiskey , and the " arts of peace" taking drains together . It is to be
hoped that Mr . Motley will be kept in his place , and that there will be no attempt to entertain him at banquets where , warmed by British hospitality and British wine , he may be led into the ridiculous assumption of any position as the accredited envoy of a Government ¦ which sp h ¦ e ¦ aks ¦ h thr ¦ ¦ ¦ h !¦ ough him 1 instead 1 of being ¦ I ¦

Reverdy Johnson ' s convivial starring expedition about this country , if we learn not to waste our time and money in talking meaningless platitudes about " brotherly " peace and " cousinly affection , " We do not despair of peace . America has begun to pay its debtsand that is a
greater * step towards respectability W Jk . * as a nation , than she has taken for a long time . Whether honour and truth will ever obtain across the Atlantic even the professed respect and titular tion honours . When wh to ich have they done obtai an n in honest Englan or d a is a very open action ques is - generous
looked upon in America as more creditable to a man than having done a sharp or a mean thing , public opinion in that country will have undergone such a wholesome reformation , that we may look forward with perfect confidence to our future relations —¦• ^ B ~ —» ^ B BP VB ^ BT HII . 1 B with V B B BB «| our ¦ B ^ BBH Yankee BBP Bi -B Wm ^ BB ~ WBf BP cousins V ^ VjB" VBB ^ WVBBT IB Bf .
It is somewhat a striking coincidence , that just as Mr . Motley is arriving in England , having been looked upon by many , perhaps unjustly , as the representative of an aggressive policy on the part of America towards this country , there should be leaving our shores one who has done more than any man living to make the name of America—to make humanity
itself , revered and loved—we mean the greatest hero of our day—the noblest Christian of our day—George Peabody .

money There are in relieving many rich distress men , , who and are personall charitable y thoug , liberal htful of for th tli eir e happiness of their poorer fellow creatures , but there is no man so grandly unselfish in disposition , there is no man who has made a large fortune , and who holds it so purely as a trust from God , who is as wise as he is generous , as prudent as he is

It is an honour to America to have begot him , it is an honour to
England to have so long numbered him among her people ; no both high count er r ie u man owe examp him mu le by , and which both to guid countries e their look conduct up to .
