§Lcprter. E. O. GOODRICH , EDITOR. towatclDAT" Thursday Morning, January 9,1862. THE MASON AND SLIDELL ATTAIR. On our outside will be found the correspon dence between Lord LYONS and Secretary SEWARD, in reference to the release of Messrs. MASON and SLIDELL, and their Secretaries. Mr SEWARD's-Jetter reviews at length the different points of international law respecting the case, and adduces conclusive proof to sus tain tbe positioa the Government has taken in the matter. The decision of the Govern ment is, as far as we are able to judge by tbe tone of the press, very generally acquiesced in by the people throughout the country, ou the ground that it is better to avoid a war with England until our homo affairs are settled, and our country can present a united front. Al though the release of these emissaries is, no doubt, distasteful to the masses, it is accepted as the best policy to be pursued by the Gov ernment at this critical moment. There is no room for doubt bat what this was a nice laid scheme, on the part of the 6ontb, to bring as into difficulties with Great Britain and France, but it proved abortive as all other like schemes have done To provoke • war between the North and Great Britain is the chief aim of the rebel leaders, because they know that the success of the Southern Confederacy depends npon it. Without for eign assistance there is no hope for them. By tbe haste to rash into- war with the Un ited States, at this critical moment, England has forfeited the good feeliDg of our people and oar Government. It shows too plainly the disposition of JOHN BOLL to take undne advantage of circumstances, and Bull like, gore a fettered ox. The time for a foreign war is not now, but it vrill come. Mr. SEWARD'S letter needs no comment. It is a plain and ably written document which explains itself. We commend it to the peru sal of onr readers DEPARTURE OP MASON AND SLIDELL. The British steam gunboat Rinaldo left Princetown, Mas 3 , at 5 p. m , on Wednesday, the Ist iust., with Messrs. Mason and Slidell and their Secretaries on board. The wind blew a hurricane all night. Some of the New York relatives of John Slidell went to Boston for the purpose of seeing him before bis em barkation for Europe. He bad an interview with his sister on Tuesday. The Boston Journal of Wednesday evening says : " The arrangements for their retnrn was very quietly made, and nothing was known in this city in regard to the affair until 1 the hour arrived for their departure. The steam tng boat Star light was employed by the Government to con vey the prisoners to Priocetown, Cape Cod, where they are to be transferred to the British gnr.boat Rinaldo, which arrived at that port last night. In accordance with the above plan of releasing the rebels, the tng'ooat Star light left this city shortly before 10 o'clock this forenoon and stopped at Fort Warren, where she took on board Mason and Slidell and their two Secretaries. After receiving their baggage, &c , the tng proceeded on her way to sea, leaving the fort about 11 o'clock. The whole affair was conducted without any display, in perfect qniet, and in the ordinary Kanner of conveying passengers." The Toronto Globe, which ia more friendly to ns than any other Canadian jour ual, ik heartily rejoiced at the action of the Administration in the surrendering of Mason and Slidell. It say 3, "We would not ntter an nngenercus taunt at this moment ; there is no shame in the American people admitting that, while engaged in a civil contest, they shrink from a war with Britain. The shame lies in having taken up, in a reckless spirit of bravado, a position which it has been found impossible to maintain. * * * " For fifty years there has been peace be tween the United States and Britain, and, in gpite of a slight interruption in 1537, we may say that the intercourse of Canada with her neighbors has been almost uniformly agreea ble and advantageous to both parties. We have something to say against each other— but what ueighbors hare not ? When Cana dians and Americans meet, they are almost uniformly courteous and kiadly, understanding the weak and strong points of each other, and find it easy to give and take, without offence. We hope that there is to be no interruption of this good feeling on account of recent events. We cao assure our neighbors there is the strongest desire among the Canadian people to preserve kindly relation..' with them." THE MISSION OF MASON AND SLICILL TO EC noPE. —It appears by recent statements of Jef ferson Davis ; announcements in 'be Charles ton Mercury , and indications in the European papers, that Messrs. Mason and Slidell were despatched to the Courts of London and Pa ris, on a mission of the very highest impor* tance—no less a one than of offering to open the ports of the Sooth altogether, and grants ing free trade to foreign nations, for the rext five yearß, besides submitting the Southern Confederacy to a joint protectorate of Eng land and France Despatches of M. Tbouv eoel to this effect, are said to have been actu ally delivered ; but he declined considering them until the arrival of the rebel ambassadors themselves. Thus cotton has ceased to be king, and other uonnrcbs are about to reign i"rifts stead- THE LATEST WAR NEWS. Tbo United Slates steam.trauaport Vaoder bHt, from Port Royalton the morning of tbe 3d iwt., arrived at New York on Monday morn ing, bringing tbe important new* of the vic tory over the rebels on the Ist inst., in a brisk fight near Port Royal ferry, about twen ty five miles from Hilton Head. Tbe expedi tion which achieved this victory was a combin ed military and naval one, and was under the joint command of Brigadier General 1. I. Ste vens and Captain Rogers of the flaship Wa bash. The troops engaged consisted of the Eighth Michigaulregiment, Pennsylvania Round Heads, Fiftieth Pennsylvania, Seventy-ninth Now York Militia, Forty seventh and Fortv eighth NeWjYork Volunteers. The naval ves sels consisted of the ganboats Ellen, Seneca, Parabma and Ottawa. General Stevens' brig ade advanced on Port Royal on the Ist in stant, and took possession of the rebel batter es after a short resistance of the rebels. The brigade was assisted by the gunboats, which shelled the batteries. General Stevens then followed op tbe blow arrived within six miles of the Charleston Railroad A flag of trace was sent ty the rebels, who desir ed permission to collect and bury their dead, which was granted. One hour was allowed for that purpose, after which the rebels fell back upon their fortifications near the rail road, which are very extensive, leaving be hind them one large guQ, whieh they had spiked. The rebel force engaged- was esti mated at eight thousand men, nuder Generals Gregg and Pope. The federal force engaged was four thousand five hundred men. Our loss was nine wounded— odo mortally, Major WatsoD, of tbe Eight Michigan Regiment, who has siDce died. The rebel loss is not pos itively knowD, but it is said to be pretty large. The health of General McClellan is so far restored that he will be able to take command in the field iD the course of a day or two. In formation was received at headquarters on Sunday that the rebels in the vicinity of Fair fax were suffering so fearfully for want of warm clothing that they were appropriating i the clothes of the negroes. Their horses were also dying off for want of food, all the fodder in the neighborhood having been cansumed. Mrs. Greenow, the female rebel, has been detected in carrying on a secret correspon-1 dence with the enemy, in spite of the close watch kept npon her house at Washington.— It has, therefore, been decided to send her at once to Fort Lafayette, where she will have no opportunity of communicating information to her Southern friends. It has been discov ered that several other ladies in Washington are engaged in like treasonable practices, and the probability is that the dismal quarters of Fort Lafayette and Fort Warren may, ere long, be enlivened with the presence of quite a bevy of female traitors. Our news from Point of Rocks is of a stir ring character. A body of six thousand reb - eis attacked the Fiftieth Connecticut regimeDt on Saturday near Hancock, and succeeded in destroying the railroad and telegraph lines, cutting off for the time all conae ction with Cumberland. The single regiment on our side who were protecting the railroad, was not sufficiently strong to resist a force six times greater in number, and was therefore compell ed to retire across the Potomac, after a short skirmish. General Lander, however, was moving on Sanday with a large force from Point of Rocks to support the Connecticut regiment. The rebels were throwing shells at intervals on Sunday, but without doing any mischief. The UDioa artillery was respond ing. It appears to be the intention of the rebefs to cross the river on the ice, bnt it was not strong enough to make the experiment.— General Dander is now in position to resist any attack npon the lines. Information from Green county, Kentucky, represents that a battle there |is imminent, as the two opposiog forces of th e Union find reb el armies are in close juxtaposition—the rebels with five regiments at Cave City, and the Un ion troops at Munfordsville,these places being only seven miles apart. The abandonment of B : g Bethel by the reb els is Confirmed by di c patches from Fortress Monroe, although it has not been found neces sary to occupy that place oy a garrison of Un ion troops. Upon the arrival of the scouting party of our army the place was fonnd td be wholly deserted. Breastworks extending for nearly a mile, pierced for twelve gnus, were erected there by the rebels. The Canadians contemplate barricading and fortifying the great Victoria bridge. In case of 1 a war they are fearful that that structure would be destroyed. Commander Wm. Ronckendorf, of Pennsyl vania has been appointed to the command of the United States steamship San Jacinto, now at Boston. One of the most important points in our country at the present time is Kentucky.— All that portion of the great army of the West, which is stationed east of the Tennes see river, is under the direction of General Buell, while the troops west of the river, in cluding thesb at Cairo, Illinois, belonging to Gen. Ilallock's Missouri division. General Baell's forces consists of a large portion of the volunteers from Illinois, Indiana,and Kentucky men of great physical energy and vigor, as hardly ci they are brave, and as resolute as they are patriotic. He is reported to have at his disposal for offensive operations 80,000 men, besides a reserve of 30,000 .raw troops. Seventy thousand of his soldiers are infantry, and the remainder cavalry and artillery. His field artillery consists of an aggregate of abont one hundred pieces, including Parrot, rifle, and smooth byre brass gens His army is arrang- Ed in four graud divisions, under the respea tive commauds of Generals MeCook, Mitohel; Nekon, and Thomas, and in two Maallet* ones, under Generals SchoepfFand Critteßdeai The three first named are now all stationed oo the Nashville Railroad, between Elisabethtowo and Louisville. The indication are that, io the course of a week or ten day's, an attempt to advance into Tennessee will be made, which the rebels will be unable-to resist. The Secession army at Bowling Green is supposed to be about 30,000 ftroog. Its chief reliance is upon the strength ef the fortifies tioas it has erected. It is now too weak to hazard any important offensive movement, and it will require all its energies to defend its po sition aud to prevent the advance of our army i Dto Tennessee. The tone of the Canada papers, and the reported opinion of Lord Lyons, indicate that, by the surrender of Mason and Siidell.all dan ger of war with Great Britain has, for the present, been avoided. The rebel envoys have have been transferred to the English sloop-of war Rinaldo. SETTLEMENT OF GK.V. Lane'S LAND CLAIM— The long-contested land claim between Gener al James H Lane nnd Gaus Jenkins, involv , ing the title to a valuable quarter-section of laud adjoiuiug Lawrence, K&Dsas, has been fi nally decided by the Commissioner of the I>and Office, Commissioner of the Indian Affairs, and Secretary of the Interior, unequivocally io favor of Gen. Lane. Tug merits of tbe case have been exhaustively presented on both sides, by eminent legal advisers, and involved the original parties in a personal conflict on the claim, resulting in the wounding of Gen eral Lane and the death of Gaus Jenkins. The case has excited great interest through out legal circles, the various departments, and the country at large. The decision vindicat ing General Lane in his right to the property was rendered OQ the last day of December. At tbe commencement of this year General Lane presented to the attorney of Tlion>Bs Jenkins the snm of $1,500, as a free will New Year offering of kinduess and sympathy. MORE DEMANDS. —It is stated, io tbe Eng lish journals, that " the surrender of Messrs. Mason and Slidell are (is?) not the whole of England's demands " on the Uuited States, aud that, therefore, ber warlike preparations will continue. It is important to ascertain if this be true, and to be told what all England's demands may be. Perhaps it is expected that the United States should retnru to their for mer " allegiaoce " to Great Britain 1 THE BAKERT IN THE CAPlTOl —Severaldays ago the Senate passed a resolution of inquiry to know by what authority a portion of the Capitol is used as a bakery. Also, what amount of injury said bakery bas caused, and whether it is not expedient to have it remov ed. Tbe Commissioner of Poblic Buildings sent the inquiry to the military authorities ; and the Comm'ssary General, who bas charge of this matter, bas answered that last Spring, when the city was in great danger of being taken by tbe rebels, the President turned over all the pnblic buildings to tbe Commanding General, to be used as he thought proper Most of them were barricaded, and a large military force stationed in them It was found ! necessary to use the basement rooms for a bakery for the army, as it had all the conve niences for that purpose, and it has been used ever since. The Commissary states, also, that it requires an outlay of $75,000, and several months'time to construct a bakery that would accommodate the array as well as the one now in operation at tbe Capitol ; that should it be removed it would cause great trouble and loss to tbe Government. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT ROCHESTER. —One of the most destructive fires that have virited Rochester during tbe past year, occurred in that city on Wednesday evening, which result ed io the entire destruction of the Duryee A Forsyth Scale Works, situated on Water near the corner of street. The fire broke ont about 9 o'clock in ih° evcing, and is suppos ed to have been the wo'k of ?& incendiary. The wind was blowing a perrVrt burr'cane at the time, but through the exertions of the firC' men the flames were prevented from spread ing to the adjoining buildings. Tbe Democrat states that it was a substantial brick building, four stories high, including the basrment, and was valued Pt $20,000. Its motive power was a large steam engine, on which there was an insurance of SI,OOO. The following par ties lose heavily by the fire : The Dnryee & Forsyth Manufacturing Com- j pany, who own the building, estimate their loss at s2o,ooo—insured SIO,OOO. Forsyth A Co , lose from $6,0 >0 to $7,000 —insured $4,000. ' Snow A Hall, macufac urers of Judsou's Gov ernor Valves, lose $9,000, on which there is I no insurance. The upper portion of the build , ing was in part occupied by Mr Bartholomew, who had a machine for grit.ding malt. His j loss is not stated. The lofts were occupied for storage. By the efforts of the Gremen the twa wings were savtd. The aggregate loss is between $35,000 and $40,000, on which there is au insurance of SIB,OOO. Coal oil is not unlikely to become one of these days quite its remarkable for the va riety of uses to which it will be applied an the commoo gum tree called India rubber. It is now proposed to employ it as part of the charge of a new rail tary shell, and highly suc cessful experiments are said to hare been made with it recently at Meadvill®, Pa. The pecu liarity of this novel bomb consists in the intro duction of a small quantity of petroleum or na tive rock oil, which is exceedingly inflamma ble. The explosion of the shell iguites the oil, which is scattered fur and wide in a blazing state. It is said to set in flames every com bustible thing withiu its reach, and that it is almost impossible to extinguish the fire. Wa ter, we are told, has no effect upon it, and it can only be subdued by a smothering process, which is not read ly applicable to a wide spread conflagration In the experiments at Meadvi'le, piles of wood and acres of grass and brush were consumed by the terrible con trivance. The government has ordered a tri al of these shells, with a view to an extensive manufacture of them. The Death, of Prince Albert. By tao Persia we have tidings of tbt deaths of His Royal Highueas Pfcioce Albert, eonsortr of Queen Vlctora, Dufea of Saxe Coburg, Gotha, Ac , which took place in London,, on the loth inst., after a brief illness, which, was not considered, dangerous until two days be fore it molted io death. His disease was gastric fever. Prince Albert was a christian and a gentleman, as well as a Prince, and was more illustrious by bis virtues than by bi po sition. Francis Albert Augustus Charles Emanuel, Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, was borae at I Rosenau, in the Duchy of Saxe Cobarg, oo the 26th of August 1819—jart three month* after i Victoria, who was to be his future Queen. — He was the second son of Ernest, Duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, under whose immediate personal superintendence „he received an admi rable education, which he eompleted by attend ing the University of Bonndusicg three aca demical sessions. In 1888 be visited Eoglaad, in company with the King of Belgium,and speat some time at the court of the youthful Qaeea, and next year it was formally announced to the Privy Council by the Qeen, that s*be in tended to form a matrimonial alliance with Prince Albert. The marriage was solemnised Feb. 10, 1840. For the purpose of renderiog him prefectiy independent, the munificient per manent allowance of $150,000 a year was made to him by parliament. Beside which he was a Field Marshal, Knight of the Garter, and other orders,Coiouel of the Fosileer Guards aud held a nnmber of other honorary and lu- l crative appointments, which ruu bis personal income up to over a quarter of a million of dollars a year. Prince Albert was a man of refined taste, J and an accomplished musician and draughts man Forbidden by his position to interfere io politics, be occupied himself with superiu tending the education of his children. The progress of the arts and science, aud general i philanthropic subjects, such as the " dwellings of the working classes," sanitary arrangements Ac, also engaged his attention. He was president and patron of numerous charitable j institutions, in which be took an active inter- , est. He was the chief promoter, if not the , originator, of the great World's Exhibition of 1851. In agricultural science he took great interest, and his farming stock has been frequently exhibited and gained prizes. As a patron of art and literature, too, Priuce Albert was particularly active. Prince Albert was the father of nine chil- j dren, borne of Qneen VICTORIA in the year's named underneath, and baptized as follows : Princess Victora Adelaid Maria Louisa, Princess Ro ! yat.born November. 21st, 1840, and married on the 25th of January. 1858, the Prince Frederick William son of the present King of Prussia. Prince Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, born Novem- j ber 9th 1841, and heir apparent to the throne. Princess Alice Matilda Mary, born April, 25 th 1843. Prince Alfred Ernest Albert, born August 6th, 1844. j Princess Helena Augusta Victora, born May 25th, | 1846. Princess Louisa Caroline Albeite, born March 18th 1848.

FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA —PHILADELPHIA Fri day, Jan. 3, 1862. A (ire commenced about 2 o'clock this morning i \ the basement be neath the Araerfcnn Telegraph Office, and be fore it could be subdued the lower floor and battery room were completely burned out Howard's Express Office, adjoiuing, was also much damaged. PHILADELPHIA, 11 o'clock a in.—The dam age to the Telegraph Office does not exceed SBOO, which is insured. The fire being con fined to the basement portion of the building the telegraph instrument escaped without inju ry. Telegraphic communication with the country continues without interruption. The operators were on duty at the time the fire broke out the foartb story of the build ing, and the stairway becoming densely filled with smoke there was considerable alarm for a short time abont their safety All escaped, however, withont injury. A boy, believing his escape was cut off, was rescued by a lad der. The front, portion of the basement on Ches nut street was occupied bp Mr. Trenwith, deal er in periodicals. His establishment was com plete'y destroyed. The fire probably originated there. Most of the goods in Howard's Express Office were damaged by water and smoke. The amount of loss is not as yet ascertained. GEN. SHEIUIAN AND THE SLAVES.— General Sherman, writing from Port Royal to a Sena tor, says that if be had issued a proclama tion immediately on landing in South Carolina, offering protection to all slaves that should enter bis lines, he might of had 10,000 about him by this time. But he expressed a con viction that the course be pursued was best • that the time has not yet come for auch a proclamation to have its full effect, and will uot coins perhaps for two or three months The Work before Congress l Tbe kelidtja are'bast ; meiobert of Con gresa have returned from their boOM* ; ami ; the couotry looks to them for a procapt and active duabargc of their duties. Than far in the tension, they haveaccomplislied. very little : but they hare |fffepoired a great deal ; and measures which are worthy of support should Lo ma Lured and executed at MMM. i ordina ry times our legislatures might be permitted to loiter over their work, to hold ail'.U)ga of only three hours a day, and spend tha greater part of those three hours in makiDg speeches 1 for political effect But we ace COW la the ' midst of a stupendous civil war,whicb requires , the putting forth of every energy of the Gov erument, and the people will not bear wttfk patience aoy signs of want of earnestness or delay. The main thing which. Congress has to do is to raise the means for the prose en l ion of the war. It can be done effcctaally iu ouly two ways—first, by cutting dow* the various ex penditures of the Government, and second, by taxing the people for raising a re venae to pay the interest on loans and meeting outlays.— The Secretary of the Navy, we are glad to see, has already begun a reduction in the ex penses oflator at the Navy Yartfe, and there is no reason why tbe same policy should not iie adopted throughout his department and the other department. The salaries of many of our officers are, considering tbe state of the times, enormous. Millions of dollars could be saved by curtailing them, and millions more by a rigid economy in disbursements But it iB upon taxation, after all, that we shall be compelled to rely. An issue of Treasury notes, to meet corrent expenses, may be per mitted in a great emergency bat it should be stopped as soon as otner resources are opened. 1 If we desire uuiversal bankruptcy, there could be no shorter road to it than an unlimited at- ' terence of mere paper promises. It is an egregious error to suppose that our people are unwilling to submit to taxatiou The London Times and other journals which do not know them, or which desire to malign and embarrass our cause, may iodulge iu such representations, but we on the spot know bet- j ter. We know that the people of Ibis coon- i try are thoroughly in earnest in the sr ,-port of the war They are willing to make any sac- : rifiee to carry it to a successful end. They have given their lives to it, without stint, and they will give, what is worth less than life, i their property, it eannot be said they engaged in it without counting the cost, but tbey were were prepared to meet the cost. Loans have already been made to a prodigous amount from among ourselves, and when these shall fail, contributions in the shape of taxes will be : cheerfully offered. Besides, if we desire to have the war vig orously prosecuted and brought to a speedy ; end, the whole people must be made to feel its burdens directly. Contractors, agents, sutlers, and officers may perhaps desire its prolongation for the sake of the profit* it brings; but those who pay the expenses, and know that they pay it, will desire to render j it as sharp and short as it can be made. Let Congress bring it home to their bosoms, and they will see that the exeeotive branch es do their share of the duty. We cannot j afford to wait. Our credit must not be suf fered to languish. We cannot tell how soon other wars may be 00 our hands, *and |to meet . them brafely this detestable war must be put out of the way —iV. Y.
