THE AFFAIR OF THE TRENT.
NZW YORK, Nov. 2G.

(Per Niagara aid Boston aod Quseastown.)

Messrs. Mason and Slidell were landed at Fort
Warren, Boston Harbour, on the 24th inst. The
municipality of Boston waited upon Commander
Wilkes and tendered him a welcome. In reply to
an address from the mayor, Commander Wilkes
said v-" I am deeply sensible of the great kindness
you have shown me. I depended upon my own
judgment in doing what you all flatter me was cor-
rect, and I am exceedingly gratified with the mani-
festations of approval I have mot, and which have
been, I may say, a spontaneous outburst from all
parts of our country. I have only to say that we
did our duty to the Union, and we are prepared to
do it again." This speech was received with im-
mense cheering. A. complimentary dinner is to be
given to Commander Wilkes at the Itivere Home,
Boston.

It is stated that no despatches of any description
were found in the baggage of Means. Mason and
Slidell.

The New York Herald of the Nth, referring to
the speech of Mr. Adams at the Lord Mayor's
dinner, says :

The respostee which it elicited from Lord Palmerston is
marked by Wier feeling than anything that has dropped
from him in refesence to no since the beginning of the war.
The mows of lb, arrest of Messrs. Mason and Slidell will
alter for the moment this ameeable state of things. There
will be a vast expenditure of indignation and hard words
oa the part of the journal that have been working
so maidnotiely in the rebel interest, whilst those
that are weal affected towards us will be taken
aback by the boldness of the step. When
the fasts of the can, and the legal authorities and
precedents bearing upon it, come to be investigated, it m-
int, however, fail to have the beet effect. No people are
greater admirers of pluck than the English, and they will
ass th this readiness to beard the Bntish line
jest is be is beginning to indulge in an in-
itialise& yowl at as, an unmistakeable evidence of our
eseterapt foe his eogroerous lumina*, and of our determi-
sake set to be intimidated from prosecuting our just
*hie wherever and by whomeover they are contravened.
The World mays :

We look for littlemore login and much leas courtesy in

*TWO. We lock oleo for a eoatradietion among themselves
