betraying by their shaky
ich their owner strove
taries, Eustace and M'Farh
and showed far more pluck th•
being aware, probably, that their- co, in-
significance would tell in their favour when the day
of reckoning came. On leaving the vessel the party
bowed to Captain Wilkes, who remained behind,
and, embarking on board a steamtug which was
sent from the port for the purpose, were conveyed
with their luggage to the dock leading to the fort,
which was about a quarter of a mile in length.
After landing upon the dock they were escorted to
Fort Warren in the following order :—Marshal
Murray and Ambassador Slidell, Lieut. Fairfax and
Ambassador Mason, Secretary Eustace, Deputy Mar-
shal Sampson, Secretary M'Farlune, Officers from
the Fort ; Police from the Fort in charge of the fol-
lowing " traps" belonging to the Commissioners
which were conveyed in two carts :—six or eight
trunks, six valises, several cases of brandies, wines,
and liquors, a dozen or more boxes of cigars, two
casks (pints and quarts) of bottled Scotch ale. On
arriving at the Fort, they were introduced to Cola
Dimmiek, who said, "Gentlemen, I am most happy
to receive you in Fort Warren." The marshal here.
informed the prisoners that he would be under the
necessity of searching their baggage, and requested
them to hand over their keys. They complied, and
a thorough search was made, but no papers or de-
spatches of any kind were found. The marshal
then returned the keys and the prisoners were shown
to their quarters. The probability that all their
official papers were deposited in the mail bag of the
Trent, or they might have been transferred to the
ladies who accompanied them, 'as- there was ample
.time for that purpose before they were taken
from the Trent. When the news of the
capture of the Commissioners first reached here,
it was accompanied by a report that Captain
Wilkes had expressed a doubt of the, legality
of his action, and raid that he expected ,to be
cashiered. This is a mistake, He understehOvell,
what 'he was about,- and had inforined himself as.
hilts lie Was able on international law before:the
capture. While in Havannah he procured tho best
authorities on the question he could find, and these,
in addition to the works on international law which
he previously had on board, confirmed him in tho
conviction that he would be thoroughly justified in
the seizure. It was his original intention to seiz3
the vessel as well as Slidell and Mason, but finding
a large number of passengers on board, who would
be greatly discommoded by such a procedure, he
finally concluded to let her continue her journey.
After capturing his prisoners he steered the San
Jacinto towards Port Royal, in hopes that he would
be in time to take a hand in the fight at that place,
but he was a little too late.--Nets York Times.

The king of the potato tribe lives in Peru, and his
domain is limited to one valley ; but the next in
rank and dignity flourishes in Vancouver Island.
The season has been unusually favourable for -the
growth of white crops, and all the cereals have
yielded largely. Potatoes are also an abundant
crop. Some very handsome sheep of the South-
down and Westclown breeds were shown, the off-
spring and crosses from high bred stock imported
by the Puget Sound Agricultural Company, and
whichis now dispersed over the Island of San Juan,
Oregon, and California. My object in mentioning
the show of sheep is to state that the animal
thrives remarkably well in Vancouver Island. You
can have as good a saddle of mutton here as in
Brighton. I only wish you would put my assertion to
the test. 'I he hog family, also imported from Eng-
land, thrives well here, and some of those at the
show reminded me of Baker-street at Christmas

time in point of obesity. The horned cattle did not
show much excellence. They also do well in this
country. In short, everything that grows and
flourishes in England thrives and improves here.
This island is England reproduced at the Anti-
podes, with a vastly improved climate.
