SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY EVENING.

The Hamburg-American Company's screw steam-
ship Borussia, Captain N. Trautmann, arrived at
Cowes this evening at 8 p.m. from New York, and
went on to Hamburg. She brings 39 passengers for
this port and Havre, and 106 for Hamburg, with a
large cargo. From the 20th to the 23d ult. the
Borussia experienced a tremendously heavy easterly
gale, and since then variable winds and high sea.
Off the Start she passed a Bremen three-masted
steamer, bound east. Her advices generally have
been anticipated.
The Borussia left New York at 7 p.m. on the 16th
of November, and at the time of her departure great
excitement prevailed in consequence of the receipt
of intelligence from Fortress Monroe of the arrival
there of the Federal frigate San Jacinto with the
Southern Commissioners on board, who had been
taken out of the Trent. A second edition of one of
the New York papers, published at 11 30 a.m. on
the 16th ult., which we have received by the
Borussia, gives the following despatch

" Fortress Monroe, Nov. 15.

The United States' steam frigate San Jacinto,
Captain Wilkes, arrived in th© roadstead at half-
past 12 p.m., having on board the rebel Commis-
sioners Slidell and Mason.

" They were taken from the English mail steamer,
on the 6th inst., off Bermuda.

" Lieut. Fairfax and 35 armed men went from
the San Jacinto with five officers, who boarded the
steamer and picked out the Commissioners.

" Messrs. Slidell and Mason made feeble resist-
ance, but was induced to leave with Lieut. Fairfax.
" The captain of the steamer raved and swore,
called the United States' officers' piratical Yankees,
and other abusive names.
" One of the secretaries of the rebel Commis-
sioners, named Husted or Hurstace, also showed
resistance; but himself and colleague accompanied
their employers to confinement.

" Mr. Slidell had his wife and four children on
board, who were allowed to proceed to Europe.

" Commodore Wilkes came ashoreland bad a
lengthy conversation with General Wool,
" He expressed his opinion that he had done right,
and said that, right or wrong, these men had to be
secured, and if he had done wrong he could be no
more than cashiered for it.
"When it became known that these two worthies
were in Hampton Roads the excitement was im-

mense.
" Some reported that quarters would be provided
them on the Rip Raps, but either the frigate will
proceed to New York, or some other vessel will be
sent there with the prisoners on board, and deliver
them at Fort Lafayette."
The Niagara steamer, from Liverpool, arrived at
Boston at 2 30 a.m. on the 16th ult. ; and the Edin-
burgh at New York on the 15th.
Under the heading, " Seizure of a British
Steamer," a New York paper of the 16th has the
following :
" Very important information, under date of Nov.
12, is received from Holmes's Hole relative to the
seizure of a British steamer. It appears that the
brig Manzoni, Capt. Colson, had arrived at that
port from Cardenas, Cuba, after a passage of 12
days.
" She reports a large British steamer having been
taken by a United States' frigate and carried into
Key West. The Englishman tried to pass himself
off as one of her Majesty's war steamers and refused
to be examined by our frigate. But a show of force
by the latter brought him to his senses. The
steamer was found to be loaded with guns and am-
munition for Secessia. At the last news from Key
West they had taken out 5,000 muskets.
"The officer of the Manzoni does not give any
particulars relative to the name of the seized craft,
but from very good authority we may be led to
believe that she is the British steamer Fingal,which
cleared from Scotland under very suspicious cir-
cumstances. The European limes a short time
since reproduced the following somewhat suspicious
statement from a Greenock paper :
" The steamer Fingal is announced tohave cleared
at that port recently for Madeira and the West
Coast of Africa,' with a cargo of munitions of war
valued at £49,000. It is difficult to believe that
11,341 rifles, 409,000 cartridges, 500 sabres, a quan-
tity of wrought leathern belts, seven tons of shell,
four pieces of artillery, and so forth, are designed
for negroes. African trade guns are not usually
rifles, and it is just possible that our Greenock con-
temporary has, by a slip of the pen, substituted
Madeira and the West Coast of Africa' for the
Southern States of North America.'
" Taking these facts into consideration with those
reported by the Manzoni, there is certainly a very
great amount of probability in the supposition that
the vessel that should have gone to the West Coast
of Africa has been found in an entirely different
region, and one where she could not have easily
drifted to during the recent storm. Her arms, being
contraband of war, can be added to those of the Go-
vernment, and if very superior can be put to some
practical use." -
The New York, Times of the 16th ult., has the
following in reference to the alleged Secessionists
carried prisoners across ;he Isthmus of Panama :
"On board the steamship Champion, which ar-
rived at this port yesterday from Aspinwall, were
es-Senators G win and Brent, and Calhoun Benham,
the Attorney-General of the State of California
under the Administration of Mr. Buchanan, brought
to this city under arrest, by order of Gen. Sumner,
who also arrived, together with several companies
of regular soldiers and a considerable quantity of
small arms. The arrested persons took passage from
San Francisco to Panama on board the Orizaba, with
the intention, as is believed, of making their way to
New Orleans from some of the West India Islands.
Before arriving at Panama, however, they were
placed under arrest byPen. Sumner, who it appears
had sufficient knowledge of their intentions to war-
rant him in the course he adopted. They were con-
veyed across the Isthmus under guard of the Na-
tional troops, notwithstanding a protest on the part
of the New Granadian authorities, who considered
such a proceeding a violation of the neutrality. The
force at the command of Gen. Sumner was too for-
midable to be interfered with, or a forcible rescue
would probably have been made. The prisoners
were unfortunately allowed to destroy a quantity
of documents while on board the Orizaba by throw-
ing them overboard,"

EFFECT OF TRE INSULT 70 THE
BRITISH FLAG ON THE MONEY MARKET.

It is important that the public should not form
their estimate of the probable consequences of the ,
American dispute from the derangement that has
been witnessed in the stock market. A fall of 2 per
cent. in Consols, and of 4 or 5 per cent. in all de-
scriptions of share property, is an extraordinary
movement while the question of actual war is alto-
gether undecided. It represents a depreciation of
at least forty millions sterling in the nominal value
of our public securities ; but this total is far below
that which may be actually calculated, because
there had already been long-continued heaviness
from the apprehension that during the winter or
spring the peace of the world might he in some way
disturbed. Taking into account this fact, and look-
ing at the large gold arrivals of the past fortnight,
and the belief that but for the news just received
the Bank of England would have entertained the
question of a reduction of their rate of discount to
24 per cent., it is not too much to assume that Con-
sols were already about 4 per cent. below the price
at which they would have stood under similar cir-
cumstances at any period of perfect political confi-
dence. In emergencies like the present, however,
the dealers in the Stock-Exchange and their clients
act upon impulse, and we must therefore expect a
further considerable fall if an actual declaration of
war should be found necessary. All that can be done
meanwhile is to allay alarm on the part of quiet
investors, who are not forced by circumstances to
sacrifice their property for anything it will bring.
Experience is the test in such matters, and they
have only to look at what took place on the out-
break of the Crimean war. Between January and
March, when the formal declaration of hostilities
was made, Consols went from 93-1 to 851 ; but, al-
thoughthe war afterwards assumed proportions
much more stubborn and costly than had been anti-
cipated, they never again during its whole course
touched so low a point, and within two months had
recovered from 851 to 91i ; yet the rate of discount
at the time of the outbreak was nearly twice ashigh
as at present, and the stock of bullion at the Bank
was considerably lower. Throughout the entire
struggle, which lastei two years, the value of
money was unaltered beyond the extent of one per
cent., the railway traffic remained good, and the
business of the country went on satisfactorily. In-
deed, the occurrence of a rebound from the first
alarm of such casualties is almost always inevitable.
People rush to sell without asking themselves what
they are to do with their money when they have
sold. They will pay it into their bankers, perhaps,
and wait for a general fall to reinvest. But their
bankers meanwhile do not let the amounts lie idle,
and as, owing to the restriction of business, com-
mercial paper is scarce, they look to Exchequer-
bills or other good floating securities; The rise in
these descriptions gives confidence to holders of
Consols and other stocks, steadiness is restored to
the market, and all the individuals who have been
waiting for a fall find that their operations have
been anticipated, and that if they want to regain
what they have parted with, they must do so at a
loss. As regards any difference of feature between
the war that may now be impending and that which
was waged with Russia, it will perhaps be said that
the confusion brought upon trade in the present case
will be much more serious. But this view seems alto-
gether erroneous. The position of the Federal
States of America is almost identical in every com-
mercial point with that which was occupied towards
us by Russia. Russia bad a hostile tariff while we
looked to her for a large portion of our annual
supply of breadstuffs. But there is this peculiarity
in our present case, that the commencement of war
would, by breaking up the blockade of the South-
ern ports, at once set free our industry from all the
anxieties of a cotton famine, and insure prosperity
to Lancashire throughout the winter. Such differ-
ence, therefore, as exists between the circumstances
that characterized our then position with Russia
and those which are now presented in the case of
America, is entirely and greatly to our advantage.
The first effects of the Russian war could not fail
to be to our damage; but the interests to be served
now by an American war have been considered so
strong that for months past we have received the
commendations of the civilised world for the for-
bearance with which we have submitted to the irre-
gular and imperfect blockade by which the vital
energies of the country have been jeopardized. At
the same time, we should open our trade to the 8
millions in the Confederate States who desire nothing
better than to be our customers. With respect to
pecuniary questions, also, the contrast between the
two periods is all in our favour. In 1854 we were
totally unprepared for war, and had to provide
everything. Now, by the large but judicious out-
lay of the past three years, we have attained a de-
gree of efficient power such as was never before
known. —2 inies' City Article.

THE AMERICAN OUTRAGE ON THE
BRITISH FLAG.

(From the Times.)

The British Government has lost no time in
transmitting to America its demand of reparation-.
It was only on Wednesday that the news of the
attack on the Trent reached this country, and already
a Queen's Messenger is on his way with a despatch
to Lord Lyons, instructing him to demand the dis-
avowal of the act, and the surrender of Messrs.
Mason and Slidell, with their secretaries, to the
British Government. In such a case hesitation would
have been as fatal as submission. An insult must be
resented at once, more particularly when the pro-
spect of impunity is likely to cause numerous repe-
titions of the offence. The Cabinet therefore de-
serves credit for having so promptly taken its reso-
lution. At its meeting on Friday Lord Russell was
directed to prepare a despatch, and on Saturday
Ministers met again to revise it and finally settle its
terms. So settled, and approved by her Majesty,
it was sent yesterday by a messenger to Queens-
town, and will arrive at Washington within twelve
days' time.
We understand that this communication, though
couched in the firmest language, very properly pre.
sumes that the Federal Government will not refuse
to make honourable reparation for an illegal act.
How far such a hope is likely to be gratified our
readers may judge from the telegraphic news which
we publish to-day. It is satisfactory to find that,
whatever orders the Federal Government may have
given its naval officers, the Captain of the San
Jacinto seems to have acted very much on his own
responsibility. On the 15th November his vessel
arrived at Fortress Monroe, having on board the two
Commissioners. Commander Wilkes, according to
the New York papers, came on shore, and had an
interview with General Wool. " He expressed his
opinion that he had done right, and said that,
right or wrong, these men had to be secured, and
if he had done wrong he could do no more than
be cashiered for it." If this version of the story
be correct, it would seem that, whatever order he
or any of his brother officers may have received
to stop and search British vessels, the actual
seizing and carrying off of the two Commissioners
was not directed from Washington. Commander
Wilkes therefore either acted without instructions,
or he must in his own opinion:have exceeded them.
This would diminish the difficulty of the Federal
Government. If it did not order the violation of the
British fisg, and that violation was the ill-advised
act of a too zealous officer, Mr. Seward may with-
out mortification comply with our demands, and
release the four persons who were illegally taken.
Whatever may have been the intentions and the
real orders of the Government, it would be enough
to say that the captain of the San Jacinto acted
without authority, and that, as his proceedings
could not be justified by the law of nations, repara-
tion would be made to the British Government.
But we must own that we have but small hope of

THE WHITWORTH GUN.—On Tuesday last Lord
Palmerston proceeded to Shoeburyness for the purpose of
judging for himself as to the merits of the Whitworth gun,
and made arrangements with the Secretary of State for War
to start at an early hour from the Eastern Counties Sta-
tion in Fenchurch-street for the experimental ground in
Essex. Sir George reached the terminus just in time' to
catch the train. Owing to the obstruction of the City
traffic, the Premier reached the station two minutes be-
hind his time. He was not to be disconcerted, and quietly
ordered a special train. This was provided with all due de-
spatch, and intelligence was fished along the line that a
"special" was on the rails. At a particular station the
ordinary train was shunted so as to enable the special to
pass, and on his arrival at Southend Sir George Lewis was
astounded to find his noble colleague wasting for him on the
platform ready to take coach to proceed on their journey.
The six miles between Southend and Shoeburyness were
soon rattled over, and shortly after the arrival of the distin-
guished party on the ground the practice commenced. The
object was to ascertain if the Whitworth gun could be ma-
nipulated with that ease which, supposing any other objec-
tions against it were removed, might render it not only a
serviceable battery but field-gun, and for this purpose seve-
ral rounds were fired from the 70-pounder, from the two
12-pounders, and from the brass rifled gun. The result was
a perfect admission on the part of those present that the
trials had been thoroughly satisfactory. Mr. Whitworth
was present and received the congratulations which the
occasion merited,--,drtny and A'twi, Gazette,
