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.

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

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. Evening Post,
