TO THE EDITOR OF TIIE SUN.

Sir,—l hasten to forward you some particulars of
the grievous outrage committed to-day against the
English flag by the United States' steamsloop San
Jacinto, Captain Wilks. You have probably heard
how, some three weeks ago, the little steamer Theo-
dora, having on board the Commissioners sent by
the Confederate States of America to London and
Paris, ran the blockade at Charleston, arriving
safely in Havannah. Once arrived there, they of
course imagined that on neutral territory they were
perfectly free and safe from all molestation, and
therefore made no attempt to conceal their names,
position, and intended movements. Mr, Slidell
the Commissioner for Paris, was accompanied by
his wife, son, and three daughters, and also by his
secretary, Mr. Eustace, with his wife ; Mr. Mason
the Commissioner for England, being accompanied
by his secretary, Mr. M'Farland. It was well known
le. Hayed...ran. that 'xi the were booked for the whole
party to proceed by this steamer to St. Thomas,
there to join the homeward West India mail steam-
ship for Southampton. They accordingly embarked
yesterday morning, trusting to receive the same
protection under the English flag which they had
already received from that of Spain.
We left Havannah yesterday morning, at 8. This
morning, about half-past 11, we observed a large
steamship ahead, and on a nearer approach found
she was hove to, evidently awaiting us. We were
then in the narrowest part of the Bahama Chan-
nel, abreast of Paradon Grande lighthouse. As
soon as we were well within range, we hal
the first intimation of her nationality and in-
tentions by a round shot being fired across our
bows, and at the same moment by her showing
American colours. We were now sufficiently near
to observe that all her ports were open, guns run
out, and crew at their stations. On a still nearer
approach she fired a shell from a swivel gun of large
calibre on her forecastle, which passed within a few
yards of the ship, bursting about a hundred yards
to leeward. We were now within hail, when Cap-
tain Moir, commanding this ship, asked the Ameri-
can what he meant by stopping his ship, and why
he did so by firing shotted guns, contrary to
usual custom. The reply was that he wished to
send a boat on board of us. This was immediately
followed by a boat pushing off from the side of the
San Jacinto, containing between twenty and thirty
men, heavily armed, under the command of the
First Lieutenant, who came up on the quarter-
deck, and, after asking for Captain Moir, demanded
a list of passengers. As his " right of search"
was denied, the information required was of course
peremptorily refused. He then stated that he had
information that Messrs. Slidell, Mason, Eustace,
and M‘Farland were on board, and demanded that
they should be given up. This also being indig-
nantly refused, Mr. Slidell himself came for-
ward, and said that the four gentlemen named
were then before him. but appealed to the
British flag, under which they were sailing,
for protection. The Lieutenant said that hi.
orders were to tare Luein on board the San
Snein to by force if they would not surrender. He
then walked to the side of the ship and waved his
hand; immediately three more heavily armed boats
pushed off and surrounded the ship, and the party
of Marines who came in the first boat came up and
took possession of the quarter-deck ; these, how-

ever, he ordered down on the main-deck, to take
charge of the gangway ports. Captain Williams,
R.N., the naval agent in charge of the mails, who
was of course present during this interview, then,
in the name of her Majesty, he being the only per-
son on board directly representing her, made a
vehement protestation against this piratical act.
During the whole of this time the San Jacinto was
about 200 yards distant from us on the port beam,
her broadside guns, which were all manned,
directly bearing upon us. Any open resistance to
such a force was, of course, hopeless, although,
from the loud and repeated plaudits which followed
Captain Williams's protestation, and which were
joined in by everyone, without exception, of the
passengers congregated on the quarter-deck, men
of all nations, and from the manifested desire of
some to resist to the last, I have no doubt but that
every person would have joined heart and soul in
the struggle had our commander but given the
order. Such an order he could not, under such
adverse circumstances, conscientiously give, and it
was therefore considered sufficient that a party of
Marines with bayonets fixed should forcibly lay
hands on the gentlemen named. This was done,
and the gentlemen retired to their cabins to
arrange some few changes of clothing. A most
heartrending scene now took place between Mr.
Slidell, his eldest daughter, a noble girl devoted to
her father, and the Lieutenant. It would require
a far more able pen than mine to describe hove,
with flashing eyes and quivering lips, she threw'
herself in the doorway of the cabin where her
father was, resolved to defend him with her life,
till, on the order being given to the Marines
to advance, which they did with bayonets pointed
at this poor defenceless girl, her father ended the
painful scene by escaping from the cabin by a win-
dow, when he was immediately seized by the
Marines and hurried into the boat, calling out to
Captain Moir as he left that he held him and bid
Government responsible for this outrage.
If further proof were required of the meanness
and cowardly bullying in the line of conduct pur-
sued by the Captain of the San Jacinto, I may re-
mark, first, that, on being asked if they would have
committed this outrage if we had been a man-of-
war, they replied, " Certainly not," and secondly, ,
that Captain Wilks sent an order for Captain
Moir to go on board his ship, and a second for
Captain Moir to move the Trent closer to the San
Jacinto. Of course not the slightest notice was
taken of either order, nor did they attempt to en-
force them.

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
THE PURSER OF THE TRENT.
Royal Mail Steamship Trent, at sea, Nov. 8.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY,

Soon after noon to-day a private telegram was
received in Liverpool announcing the boarding of
the Trent by a Federal vessel of war and the for-
cible removal of the Southern Commissioners. Th©
intelligence spread with wonderful rapidity, and
occasioned great excitement among all classes. On
'Change the utmost indignation was expressed,
and in a very brief space of time the following
placard was posted :
Outrage on the British Flag.—The Southern
Commissioners Forcibly Removed from a British
Mail Steamer.
"A public meeting will be held in the Cotton
Sales-room at 3 o'clock.

In compliance with the preceding announcement
a meeting was held at the Cotton Sales-room at 3
o'clock, which was crowded to excess by nearly all
the gentlemen frequentii.g the Exchange. The
meeting was ',quite as remarkable for the enthusi-
asm as numbers. After several gentlemen had been
requested to preside the chair was occupied by Mr.
James Spence, and on taking the chair be proceeded
to read the subjoined resolution :
" That this meeting, having heard with indig-
nation that an American Federal ship of war has
forcibly taken from a British mail steamer certain
passengers who were proceeding peaceably under
the shelter of our flag from one neutral port to
another, do earnestly WI, upon the government to

At a meeting held to-day of the creditors of
Messrs. James Coater, Beater, Dennant, and Russ,
Mr. Ratlif presided, and Mr. Honey (Honey,
Humphreys, and Honey) the accountant, read a
statement of the affairs since the last meeting, from
which it appears that the cash at the bankers at
the present time is £117,000 ; bills just fallen
due, £9,000 ; making the total available
assets £12,000 ; the other Ells in hand
amount to £13,000; and debts to be collected
£lO,OOO ; making a total of £149,000. Mr. Read,
solicitor for the Manchester and Paris creditors,
informed the meeting that he had filed a petition
in Bankruptcy, and there was no reason why lls.
in the pound should not be very soon paid.
During the week a fair amount of business has
been transacted in American Securities at steady 19'
prices until to day, when symptoms of depression
were apparent. Mr. E. F. Satterthwaite, in his
circular, states that-" The market in London for
American Securities has been very good during the
past week, and large purchases made at advanced
rates. This firmness was fairly maintained up to
this afternoon, when, on its being reported that
the Secessionist Commissioners, Messrs. Mason
and Slidell, had been _forcibly taken from an
English mail steamer by a Federal man-of-war,
quotations became very regular."
Very little fluctuation has taken place in the
market for Public Securities to-day, but the ten-
dency has been favourable, Consols ;having realised
931 e for transfer, and 92 1, less tie dividend
for the sth proximo. The New Threes are flat *4.

an unsatisfactory character. On the Midland there

most instances shown considerable depression.

Putting up with insult; but, in the present case, let

Chapman—They fired a shot across the bows of the
mail steamer to bring her to, and as she did not
stop for that they fired a swell at her, which burst
close -by-I:or. (Tremendous cheers.) Torr
proceeded to say that there was every reason to
avoid coming to a, hasty resolution, and, in thank-
ing the meeting for the patience with which they
had heard him—(loud and ironical cheers)—he
again urged on those present to consider the mat-
ter _
calmly and dispassionately, and not to be car-
ried away by the impulse of feeling in a case which
required mature judgment and calm deliberation.
A. letter had been shown to him by a Southern
geatleman, in which it was stated as a positive fact
that the law officers of the Crown had, in anticipa-
tion,egtalie;iressed a decided opinion in favour of the
of a proceeding similar to that which had
Just taken plate in regard to the Trent by the San
Jacinto.
Mr. J. TURNER nett attempted to address the
meeting to the same effect as had been done by Mr.
Torr and Mr. Campbell, but the feeling of those
Present was so decidedly opposed to that view that
he was forced to desist.

The resolution, as proposed to be amended by the
chairman, was then put to the meeting, and carried
by a tremendous majority, and amid the most deaf-
ening and enthusiastic cheers. For the negative
only a few hands were held up.
At the conclusion of the meeting, which was at 4
o'clock, a number of the older merchants on 'Change
expressed privately their conviction that the meet-
ing and its proceedings had been premature.

LIFEBOAT SERVICES.— CASTLETOWN, ISLE OF
MAN, Nov. 26.—During the very heavy gale that blew on
this coast yesterday, the lifeboat on this station, belonging
to the National Lifeboat Institution, was instrumental, in a
tremendous surf, in rescuing the crews of five persons from
the schooner Eliza Ann, from W bit
Then, for Dublin.
The master of the schooner states :—" The gale increasing
with great violence, I found my vessel dragging fast;
hoisted signals of distress about 3.30 p.m. on Monday; Ves-
sel still dragging with three anchors; got
the boat out, ready to leave her, having
placed clothing in the boat. The lifeboat of the National
Lifeboat Institution came alongside, in answer to a signal
of distress, about 4.15, and myself and crew (five in all) got
into her. Not knowing how things might turn out, I was
very glad to be taken off the vessel, it being meat probable
if the storm continued that she would have been wrecked,
in which case the only means of escape would have been by
our own boat, and as we could not have pulled her against the
wind, we should have had to land to leeward, on a rocket'
shbre, which could only have been done with great danger.
(Signed) Christopher Little." This valuable lifeboat has
been the means, during the past few years in rescuing the
following shipwrecked crews—Smack, Jabez, of Greenock,
4; lugger, Queen of the Isle, 4; brig, Opreisingen, of
Arundel, 3 ; barque, Ohio, of Liverpool, 4 ; lugger, Nim-
rod, of Castletown, 3 ; and schooner, Eliza Ann, of Dub-
lin, 5 ; total, 23.
A communication from Frankfort, in the Augs-
burg Gazette, states that the declaration made by the Go-
• verameut of Electoral Hesse, relative to the proposition of
L the Government of Baden on the question of the Constitu'
lion, forms no less than 17 pages of folio print. Who project
of a new electoral law is annexed to it.

CRBIINA L COURT.-(THIS DAY)

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.)
The cases in this court were entirely unfit for publication.

George Inkpen was indicted for the wilful murder of
Margaret Edmonds.
It will be recollected the prisoner and the deceased, a
domestic servant, kept company together, and that on the
evening of the 11th of November they both jumped into the
Surrey Canal at Deptford, tied together with a boot lace.
The female was drowned, but the prisoner by some means
preserved his life. The facts have already appeared at
length in The Sun.

THIRD COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
Mary Hollis was indicted for feloniously stabbing, with
intent to do grievous bodily harm. _ _ _

From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner had a
quarrel with the prosecutrix, and eventually stabbed her
in the head with a long instrument resembling a butcher's
steel.
The jury found her guilty. _ _

The Common Sergeant told the prisoner she ought to be
thankful she had not committed a murder. He k entenced
her to 12 months' imprisonment.

CHARGE OF BIGAMY.
A respectably dressed man, named Burnham, was in-
dicted for bigamy.

George Wells pleaded guilty to an indictment, charging
him with'maliciously setting fire to a haystack.

The prisoner, according to statements of the police-con-
stable, bore a very bad character. Ile had on a former occa-
sion absconded, after robbing his employer and fellow
workmen. _ _ _

The Common Sergeant said the prisoner had been guilty
of an offence for which his life was forfeited. The gentle-
man whose property had been destroyed had never done
the slightest injury to the prisoner. Under all the circum-
stances of the case he felt it his duty to sentence the pri-
soner to six years' penal servitude.
