(111, Comparing these rates with the English Mint p rice of £3 ~ ▪ 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is 31 t about the same puke in London and in Paris. 11 5' advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 428 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.61 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. . „ . The course of exchange atNew York on London for bills at 80 days' sight is 1071 to 108 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is against England. But, after making allowance for loss of interest and charges of transport , the p resent Price leaves no profit on sending gold to the United States. A letter from Berne, dated the 23d of November, says:—" Yesterday and to-day the Federal Council held two long sittings, in which a new Note was discussed, to be addressed to France concerning the Valley des Dappes. The greatest secrecy will be preserved in respecting the te nour of that Note until it has reached its destination. It will then be published in the Federal Gazette. The French Minister has had another interview with the Federal C ouncil." A Toronto letter says :—" Our fall weather has b een beautiful. The leaves of cthe trees are beginning to (la rire however, and slight frosts for some nights past in ctioate the approach of winter. Further north there bas b een a heavy shower of snow, and in the course of a few weeks we shall have a visit from this northern product also. Cold weather, however, does not come in e arnest till January or February." SAVING LIFE ON THE EAST COAST.—The National Lifeboat Institution has, during the present month, paid 41 20't0 the crews of some of its lifeboats on the Norfolk and Suffolk coasts, for saving 48 persons from the following v essels . :—Four men from the schooner Fly of Whitby ; ten men from the smack A dvent'ire, of Harwich ; five men from th e brig Lively, of Clay, Norfolk ; seven men from t he pilot cutter Whim; eleven men from the lugger S a u c y L ags; and eleven men from the brig Undaunted, of Aber deen. _ _ Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Aarnale left Orleans House, Twickenham, yesterday for j 'ataeld, on a visit to the Marquis and Marchioness of Salisbury. Th e Earl and Countess of Derby are entertaining a succession of visitors at Knowsley Park, Lancashire. The Countess of Fife arrived in town a few days si nce from Scotland. The earl is expected early ne xt w eek. - ilia lordship has taken a house in Grosvenor-place, late the residence of Lord Lilford. °PENING OF THE CLEVELAND RAILWAY.— On Saturday the new line of railway from the Tees to Skelton in Cleveland was opened for traffic. The line is connected with. the North Yorkshire or Cleveland system of railways, a nd has been made to open out a rich agricultural district, and to develops the great mineral resources of the hills 3thi g along its course.

THE MANCHESTER, SHEFFIT:LD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an indictment for obstructing they public road by passengers going and returning from the railway sta tions. At the opening address of Mr. Sergeant Knowles to the jury, counsel on both sides agreed to take a verdict for the Crown, subject to a special case for the opinion of the Court. STEGGLES V. THE GOVERNOR AND COMPANY OV THE NEW RIVER COMPANY. This is a claim of damages (C 2) for injury done to the plaintiff's cellar and house, in Old-street, Whitecross street, on the 26th of November last, by the leakage of a "wooden plug, or bursting of one of the company's pipes, and overflooding the plaintiff's premises with water. On taking out the plug in front of the plaintiff's balsa a jet of water rose 30 feet high. Mr. Sergeant Hayes and Mr. Charles Polio ek appeared for the plaintiff. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., represented the defelidanLq, who tried to shift their liability on the parish of St. Luke, and that the injury done was purely accidental, and that they were not liable. The plaintiff's witnes , es proved that the service pressure on the square inch varied from 131 b. to 181 b., and 101 b. to 251 b. on the main pressure, and did not consUer the plug used sufficient. 1001 1 I The case is not yet concluded. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. ' (Before Mr. Commissioner Winslow.) IN RE J. CAMPBELL. This bankrupt, the well-known manager and popular actor, now appeared before the Court in quite a new cha racter to him, who has hitherto taken the comic parts. Mr. Beard said that the bankrupt, after having been many years manager of London theatres, had taken that of Liverpool, bnt the speculation had turned out very unfor tunate to him, who was a considerable loser. The debts were confined to matters connected with the theatre, and no creditor offered any opposition. The bankrupt passed. The debts are about £250; assets uncertain. IN RE OWENS. An adjudication was made, on the appication. of Mr. Weston, Moorgate-street, against this bankrupt, a contrac tor at Dulwich. The debts are stated to be about £3,000, but the losses are very heavy. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY). OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Branteß) TUE MURDER IN DRURY-COURT. Richard Reeves, 18, basket maker, was indicted for the wilful murder of Mary Ann Reeves. The prisoner, who pleaded not guilty, was defended by Mr. Sleigh. The evidence offered against the prisoner was the same as that which was given at Bow-street Police-court, but in a more condensed form. The material points, for instance, were the missing of the child, and the finding of her dead body in the coal-calar of the house in Drury.court, after the prisoner had sent word home to his father that he had strangled her with a rope in that place. Mr. Sleigh did not in any instance cross-examine any of the witnesses, and, in his address to the jury, said he could not urge them to acquit the prisoner on the ground of insanity, but whatever result they might arrive at, he felt sure they would take the most merciful view of the case. Baron Bramwell, in summing up, said there was not the slightest evidence of insanity. Unfortunately the prisoner had a drunken father, who was subject to delirium tremens, but that had no bearing whatever on the case. The jury retired at half-past 12, and in about a quarter of an hour returned into court. Having answered to their names, The Clerk of the Arraigns said—Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed to your verdict ? Foreman—We have. Clerk—How say you, is the prisoner at the bar, Richard Reeves, guilty or not guilty ? Foreman—Guilty; but the jury strongly recommend the prisoner to mercy, on the ground of his youth and the bad example set him. Baron Bramwell—Your recommendation, gentlemen, shall be sent to the proper quarter immediately. The Clerk of the Arraigns—Richard Reeves, the jury have found you guilty of murder ; have you anything to say why sentence of death should not be passed upon you ? Prisoner—(who heard the verdict pronounced without the slightest emotion)—No, sir, I've not. The Usher then made proclamation for silence during the passing of the sentence of death, and Mr. Baron Bramwell, having put on the black cap, said— Prisoner at the bar, the jury have found you guilty of murder, and according to the evidence I don't see hew they could do otherwise. It is now my duty to pass upon you the sentence of death. The sentence of the Court is, that you be taken from hence to the place from whence you came, and from thence to a place of execution, and that you be there hained by the no* until you be dead, and that your body be afterwards interred within the precincts of the prison. The Rev. Mr. Davies, the ordinary of Newgate, occupied a seat on the bench in full canonicals, but as the learned judge did not finish the sentence with the words "and may the Lord have mercy on your soul," ho did not pronounce his " Amen" as usual. _ _ _ The prisoner was then removed from the dock, NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) STEALING LETTERS. Samuel Raw, a letter carrier, was indicted for stealing a letter containing half a sovereign, the property of her Ma jesty's Postmaster-General. The evidence was of the ordinary nature. The prisoner was a letter carrier in theTottenham-court-road district, and the letter containing the money he ought to have de livered at the address thereon, instead of which he appro priated the contents to his own use. The Jury found the prisoner guilty, and Mr. Justice Byles sentenced the prisoner to four years penal servitude. THE ALLEGED MURDER AT DEPTFORD. The trial of George Inkpen, for the wilful murder of Margaret Edwards, at Deptford, was, on the application of Mr. Sleigh, postponed until to-morrow morning. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AND WANTON DAMAGE.—Wm. Brooks, a low-looking lad, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following wanton robbery : James Crawley, ostler to Mr. Joseph Evans, of 34, New Bond-street, said—This morning at half-past eight, while exercising a horse in the yard I saw the prisoner come out of a coach-house. I asked him what he was doing there, and he said he had been there to lie down. I made him go back to see that the things were all right, and on open ng a carriage door I found that the cushion had been cut open and a quantity of horse hair taken out. I then called in a constable who was passing, and on making a further search I found that the cushions from two broughams had been removed, some of the nozzles taken from the lamps, some of the metal beading torn off the carriage, and seven plated caps taken from the wheels, and also the lamp sockets. Mr. Evans, livery-stable keeper, said the articles would only fetch at a marine-store dealer's a few shillings, while the damage and the articles taken, would put him to £2O expense. Inspector Webb showed the magistrate the beadingwhich had been torn off in the most wanton manner, and said numerous robberies had taken place of late by boys hawk- ing newspapers for a blind. Morgan, 183 C, having proved finding the articles on the prisoner, Mr. Tyrwhitt said it was a most deliberate robbery and committed the prisoner for trial. THAMES. THE-GREAT SILK ROBBERY AND RE-EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONERS.—James Hunter, a publican, who was formerly landlord of the Red Deer Tavern, in Cambridge road, Bethnal-green, Edwin Turnbull, a lighterman, James Gill3tt, a marine storedealer, and Thomas Smith, a carman, were again arraigned this day, before Mr. Woolrych, charged with being concerned in stealing 10 bales of silk on the river, on the 14th of March last. The case was proceeding when our reporter despatched his parcel, and will not terminate until a late hour. The case will be again adjourned, and it is expected to last, at intervals, until Christmas. The St. Katharine Dock Company have already expended upwards of £1,600 in the prosecution of Debock, Newton, Barker, and Crane, and in the proceedings against the four men under exami nation this day. The Court was crowded, and there was a large number of Hunter's friends in attendance. It has been announced that the Exchequer-bills dated in June last, and which now bear 3 per cent. interest, will, at the expiration of six months from their time of issue—namely, on the 11th December, be reduced to three per cent. Some persons have thought it possible that in the present state of the money market a still lower rate might have been proposed ; but, looking at the number of floating securities which now compete with Exchequer bills, such a step would have been impolitic. The March bills, which were issued under the old regulations at 2d per day, or £3 Os 10d per annum, cannot be subjected to any alteration until they have run for one year. COUNT CAVOUR.—The municipality at Turin has ordered a slab of marble to be inserted in the front of the palace in that town which lately belonged to Count Cavour, bearing the following inscription :—" Count Camille de Cavour was born in this house, August 10, 1810, and died in the same, June 6, 1861, A memorial placed by the mu nicipality." On Monday four bodies were rescued from the ruins of the house which fell on .Sunday morning, and three more at 3 o'clock on Tuesday morning, in all 29 lives ascertained to be lost. It is quite cer tain that others are still beneath the rubbish. When the work of excavation was discontinued on Sunday night it was resolved to pull down the back wall and tall gables before continuing the search for those entombed. Nearly all Monday was spent in dragging down the back wall with ropes, and in attempting to pull down the eastern gable the pile of chimneys of this gable, rising nearly 40 feet above the adjoining building, and to an extreme height of 85 feet, was only partially brought down when, shortly before 5 o'clock, it was found neces sary to suspend operations owing to the darkness. At intervals in the afternoon the labour of exhu mation was proceeded with, and all night also it was carried on. Two of the bodies found only had been identified—namely, Mrs.Mackay, aged 80, and John Sutherland, her grandchild, who were found in bed together. The bodies were all mutilated, and some of them were so much crushed that death seemed to have been immediate. A dog and a cat were rescued alive, and a linnet in its cage, which had been left upon the wall as the house fell, was saved by a fireman, who mounted a long ladder to reach it. From the testimony of survivors it would seem that the noise of creaking timbers was heard for six or eight minutes before the house fell en masse. One man describes it as like the rumbling of gravel, another like a railway engine passing through the house. A whole family of nine, named Baxter, escaped, the father driving them before him into the staircase almost naked, and himself, coming last, had to jump over the opening chasm. The staircase was common both to the front and back tenement, and did not fall. Another family named Macdonald, of seven, lost two of their number, boys, who were forgotten in the first moments of flight and could not afterwards be rescued ; they are still in the ruins. A family named Irvine were all lost except one child, who was afterwards rescued by the firemen. Several other families had a divided fate, some being pre served, others crushed in the ruins. Nearly all the bodies extricated have been persons found in bed, indicating that most of those awake escaped. In one or two cases persons who, after the first moment of alarm, went back to recover property, perished. An investigation is in progress as to the cause of the accident, but according to the system followed in Scotland it is privately conducted. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of Eng lish wheat were very small. The trade, however, was in a sluggish state, yet no further change took placo in prices, compared with Monday. The supply of foreign wheat was moderately good, and sales progressed slowly in most descriptions, on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, and the quotations were steadily maintained. Barley, the supply of which was moderately extensive, sold heavily, at Monday's decline in its value. Malt moved off slowly, at late rates. Good and fine oats changed hands steadily, at full prices but inferior qualities were in slow request, at Monday's reduction. The demand for beans was far from active, at the late fall in the quotations. Peas sold slowly, at previous currencies. Generally speaking, the flour trade was inactive, yet prices were fairly supported. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

The Confederate war steamer Sumter, which has done such damage to Federal merchant shipping, was built at Montreal. She was first called the Colon and afterwards the Marquis de Habana. She is a screw steamer, 437 tons burden, 180 feet long, and 30 feet beam, She is armed with eight 32-pounder rifle cannon, and one 82-pounder rifled. Her bulwarks are so constructed that her armament cannot be perceived by passing vessels. Sho ran the block ade of New Orleans on the 30th of June last, although the Federal man-of-war Boocklyn was watching her. The following are amongst the Federal ships which have been captured by the Sumter, viz., the Golden Rocket, the Cuba, * the Machiaso, the Ben Dunning, the Albert Adams, the West Wind, the Louisa Kellum, the Naiad, and the Abby Bradford. The Federal man-of-war Crusader, Niagara, Keystone State, Powhattan, and Iroquois have been sent in pursuit of her. The Sumter, it is reported, was captured off Barbados by the Powhattan or Iroquois about the Ist Oct. Her commander was Caytain Raphael Semmes. The Professorship of Mathematics at the govern ment College at Agra, in tipper India, has been declared vacant. It is announced that candidates must have been wranglers at Cambridge, or within the first half of the list of senior optimes. The stipend is 350 rupees per month (about £420 a-year), and 1,200 rupees are to be allowed in lieu of passage money and outfit. THE WESTERN FISHERIES.—Dtiring the past week various quantities of fish have been taken on the Devonshire and Cornish coasts. At the Newquay fishery the boats have taken from 1,000 to 7,000 fish per boat. At Porthleven hook-and-line fish have been plentiful, but no great catch of pilchards has taken place. Large shoals have been seen in the bay, but they were too deep. At Newlyn the pilchard is given up for the season, and the Ashes are hauled up. LATEST INTELLIGENCE FROM 7'HE SOUTH. CHARLESTON, OCT. 26. The Confederate States Government, in concert with the state authorities, has recommended to the planters the following policy as to the cotton crop:- 1. To keep the cotton on the plantations, and to burn it wherever the enemy may advance. 2. To forward cargoes of cotton for all vessels which shall break the blockade laden with muni tions of war or other necessary stores. The English steam ship Bermuda, which broke the blockade at Savannah, is now loading in that port a cargo of cotton for Liverpool. The act of the Confederate Congress of July last, permitting the export of cotton from the Confede rate sea ports, and only forbidding its export land ways into the Northern States, remains in full force. The blockade is utterly ineffective. On the Ist of October the steamer Theodora ran out of this port in broad day, through the southern channel, and passing around and in full view of the Federal blockading squadron, with colours flying, re-entered the port on the same day by the northern channel, She was under command of Captain Peagritn, now of Nashville. This has been done to demonstrate the ineffectiveness of the blockake. Ten days afterwards the same steamer left this port for Cuba, having on board the new ministers to England and France, Having landed them at Car denas, the Theodora proceeded to Havannah, and returned safely into the port of Savannah with a valuable cargo of arms. Yesterday, the 25th October, three ships from Havannah, with valuable cargoes, ran the blockade in safety, and entered the port of Savannah. DEFENCES 01 NEW ORLEAN& The following description of the defences of New Orleans has reached us by the last mail : "New Orleans, Oct. 25. " The Mississippi is fortified so as to be impass able for any hostile fleet or flotilla. Forts Jackson and St. Philip are armed with 170 heavy guns (68- pounders, rifled by Bashley Britten, and received from England). The navigation of the river is stopped by a db.m at about a quarter of a mile from the above forts. No flotilla on earth could force that dam in less than two hours, during which it would be within short and cross range of 170 guns of the largest calibre, many of which would be served with red-hot shot, numerous furnaces for which have been erected in every fort and at every battery. " In a day or two we shall have ready two iron cased floating batteries. Their plates are 41 inches thick, of the best hammered iron, received from England and France. Each iron-cased battery will mount 20 68-pounders, placed so as to skim the water, and strike the enemy's hull between wind and water. We have an abundant supply of incen diary shells, cupola furnaces for molten iron, Con• Breve rockets, and fire-ships. " Between New Orleans and the forts there is a constant succession of earth works. At the plain of Chalmette, near Janin's property, there are redoubts armed with rifled cannon which have been found to be effective at five miles' range. A ditch 30 feet wide and 20 thep extends from the Missis sippi to La Cypriene. In forts St. Philip and Jackson there are 3,000 men, of whom a goodly portion are experienced artillerymen and gunners who have served in the navy. "At New Orleans itself we have 32,000 infantry, and as many more quartered in the immediate neighbourhood. In discipline and drill they are far superior to the Northern levies. We have two very able and active generals, who possess our entire confidence—General Mansfield Lovell and Brigadier General Ruggles. .For commodore we have old Hollins—a Nelson in his way. " We are ready to give the Yankees a hot recep tion when they come. I write you in a very sedate, though confident mood. Around me all are mad with excitement and rage. Their only fear is that the Northern invaders may not appear. We have made such extensive preparations to receive them that it were vexatious if their invincible armada' cscap:„d the fate we have in store for it." THE ,?,--- At the Mansion-house yesterday, the Lord Mayer, towards the close of the business of the day, said — I should be glad if the gentlemen connected with the press would be good enough to rectify a state ment which appears in a communication from Southampton relative to an application to the magistrates there yesterday. The report to which I refer states that " Mr. Pearcey handed to the chairman a letter from the Lord Mayor of London, stating that a similar application had been made to him at the Mansion-house, but that he had thought it his duty to pass the matter over to the authori ties at Southampton, at which post the Nashville had called and still remained. His lordship informed Captain Nelson that had the Nashville been lying in any of the London docks be should have granted the application." This relates to an application made to me here on Saturday, in my private room, by some g:ntlemen who wished to have a search warrant with reference to certain pro perty alleged to be on board the Nashville and to belong to Capt. Nelson or the owners of the Harvey Birch. I told them I had no jurisdiction in the case; that the ship was lying at Southampton, and if there was any jurisdiction in the matter it would be with the magistrates of that town. Knowing personally Mr. Coles, the Mayor of Southampton, and naturally feeling sympathy for the poor man who had lost his ship and property, I undertook to write a letter, bite ply introducing Captain Nelson to . that gentleman ; but I expressed no opinion on the case, and certainly should not have thought of issuing a search warrant even if the ship had been in the London Docks, because even there the vessel would not have been within the jurisdiction of the magistrates of the city of London. No doubt a gentleman in such a position as a captain who had lost his ship, especially under the peculiar circumstances with which the public are familiar in this case, would naturally excite sympathy, without reference to the country to which he belonged, and I admit that I felt sym pathy for him, as I do for all the people who are engaged in the unhappy ate uggle which is being waged on the further side of the Atlantic, whether Federals or Confederates. THE TRADE OUTRAGE: AT SHEFFIELD. SHEFFIELD, TUESDAY. This morning, between three and four o'clock, a man was apprehended on suspicion of being con cerned in the outrage in Acorn-street last Saturday morning, when a tin of combustibles was thrown into the house of George Westnidge, a fender grinder. The chief constable (Mr. Jackson) him self, with detective-officers Airey and Brayshaw, seized the man at his own dwelling in Woollen• lane, Gatefield, Upperthorpe. The man is a stove fender grinder (the sametrade as Westnidge). His name is Joseph Thompson. While the proceedings were going on before the magistrates at the Town Hall this m orning a mes senger arrived from the Infirmary, bringing a letter to the effect that Mrs. W estnidge (who was the most seriously burnt), was so much worse that it would be unsafe to delay the taking of her deposi tions. Vincent Corbett, Esq., at once went to the Infirmary (accompanied by Mr. Jackson and Mr. Thorpe), for the purpose of taking down the unfor tunate woman's statement. We understand that the police believe, not only that they have apprehended the guilty person, but that they will be able to make out a case against him. It would at present be premature to state anything as to the nature of the probable evidence. For the same reason it is considered unadvisable to publish the dying woman's statement. MALTON MARTINMAS FAIR, Nov. 23. The annual statute fair for the hiring of farm servants was held to-day, and was very largely attended. The very forward state of farm work, favoured by the beautiful autumn, has had the effect of lowering wages fully 20 per cent., the older men being very slowly hired indeed. Farmers, however, hire shepherds more readily—the result of the immense turnip crop, and the consequent large folding of sheep. On the whole, it is feared much distress will be found among the unhired labourers during the winter, the " statutes" held in neighbouring towns being equally dull. THIRD E ITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. THE WEST INDIA MAIL STEAMER BOARDED BY AN AMERICAN WAR-SHIP. CAPTURE OF CONFEDERATES SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY. Tics following are the details of the capture of the Confederate Commissioners, while on their voyag e from Havana to St. Thomas in the English mail steamer Trent. The steamer Theodora, with the commissioners on board, ran the blockade at Charleston on the 18th October last. Mr. Slidell was accompanied by his wife and :hree daughters. They left Havana on board the Trent on the 7th inst., at noon. At noon, on the Bth inst., as the Trent was approaching the narrow passage between the reefs opposite the Paradon Grande Lighthouse, Old Bahama Channel, a large war vessel was ob served waiting ahead, and showing no colours. On coming nearer, the Trent hoisted her ensign, which met with a response from the war vessel. When within about an eighth of a mile the stranger, it is said, fired a round shot across the Trent's bows, at the same time hoisting the Ame rican flag. Immediately afterwards, it is reported, she fired a shell from a long pivot gun on her fore castle, which burst about 100 yards to leeward of the Trent. Capt. Moir, of the Trent, thereupon hailed the captain of the other vessel, asking what he meant by stopping his ship. He replied that he wished to send a boat on board. At the same time one was lowered, containing two officers and 10 men, and sent alongside the Trent. The officers boarded the Trent, and demanded her list of passengers, which was refused. Lieut. Fairfiax, the officer in command of the party from the war steamer, which proved to be the San Jacinto, then said that Capt. Wilks, his commander, had received reliable in formation that Messrs. Slidell, Mason, Eustace and Farland were on board the Trent, and de manded that they should be given up. This was most peremptorily refused both by Captain Moir and Commander Williams, R.N., the naval agent in charge of her Majesty's mails, the former stoutly denying the right of the Federal vessel to take any person from under the English flag. The commissioners were standing near and boldly declared that they were all present, but being on board a British ship, claimed the protection of the flag. The lieutenant then said he would take charge of the steamer, and waved his hand to the San Jacinto, when three more boats were sent along side, in -which were 30 marines and about 60 sailors. Commander Williams thereupon made the fol- :owing protest : "In this ship I am the representative of her Majesty's Government, and I call upon the officers of the ship and passengers generally to mark my words when, in the mime of the British Govern ment and in distinct language, I denounce this as an illegal act, an act in violation of international law, an act indeed of wanton piracy, which had we the means of defence you would not dare to at tempt." The men in the boats then boarded, and came on the deck of the Trent, with bare cutlasses; and the commissioners were forthwith arrested and forced into the boats. Mr. Slidell said he hoped the case would be fully represented. The Americans stated that they were short of provisions, and asked for a supply to maintain the prisoners. Captain Moir furnished them with sup plies, but in so doing stated distinctly that they were for the exclusive use of the four gentlemen. The American lieutenant afterwards said his orders were to take Captain Moir and his papers on board the San Jacinto, and that the Trent was to be moored nearer. Capt. Moir replied, " You will find me on the quarter-deck. If you want me, you will have to come there for me ;" and imme diately afterwards walked on deck. The lieutenant, however, called his men together and ordered them into the boat, finally telling Capt. Moir he wanted nothing further. The boats then returned to the San Jacinto, and the Trent proceeded on her voyage. The despatches of the Commissioners did not fall into the hands of the Americans, but have arrived in England in La Plata. The indignation on board the Trent was so great that every person was willing to take part in the defence of the ship, had an order been given. This was, however, out of the question in presence of such fearful odds, The La Plata, with the above mails, brings 102 passengers, 2,251,209 dols. in specie, and 1,672 packages of cargo. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY. The Royal Mail steamship La Plata has arrived here from the Wrest Indies. The Royal Mail steamer Trent was on her way to St. Thomas with the Mexican, Havannah, and Jamaica mails, when, within a short distance of St. Thomas, she was met by the Federal man-of. war San Jacinto. The latter fired first a shot and then a shell across the bows of the Trent. The captain of the San Jacinto ordered Captain Moir, the commander of the Trent, to go on board the San Jacinto with his papers. This was refused, The captain o f the latter then boarded the Trent, an d demanded to see the pas sena li s t. This was also refused. The commander of the Sari Jacinto then said, " It is n,o use mincing the matter ; we have evidence that you have per sons on board that we want, and you must give them up." Captain Moir refused to do so. The Federal commander then waived his hand to tha San Jacinto, and several boats pushed off fi11,,,a with armed men. They took Messrs. Slidell an d Mason, with their two secretaries, Mr. Eustarle and another, out of the Trent, and took them r Ai board the Jacinto prisoners of war. This proceedingwas protested aguin.t by Captain Moir and Comman der Williams, R.N., the Admiralty agent of the Trent. The Sumter has not been captured. She was at Martinique on the 11th instant, landing prisoners. The Federal man-of-war Iroquois left St. Thomas in pursuit of ber. The despatches of which Messrs. Mason and Slidell were in charge, were overlooked by the commander of the San Jacinto, and have come home in La Plata. Commander Williams, R.N., the Admiralty agent on board the Trent , w ho was p resen t when the Trent was boarded, goes to London immediately to report to the Admiralty. ~.~ , :a. if ,n 16 d a I
