THE CASE OF THE NASHVILLE.

Yesterday a letter was addressed from the
Foreign-office by Mr. Layard, under the authority
of Earl Russell, to Messrs. Oliverson, Lavie, and
Peachey, of Frederick's-place, Old Jewry, who
have acted as the solicitors of Capt. Nelson, lately
commanding the ship Harvey Birch, in an applica-
tion which was made in his behalf, first to the Lord
Mayor at the Mansion-house, and then to the local
magistrates at Southampton, for a warrant to search
the steamer Nashville for certain property alleged
to belong to him or the owners of the Harvey Birch.
It will be recollected that on Monday lad the
Southampton magistrates declined to interfere in
the way suggested on the part of Capt. Nelson, un-
less with the sanction o f the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs. Their decision was immediately
telegraphed to London, and in the course of the
afternoon a letter was addressed to Lord Russell at
the Foreign-office, by the abovenamed solicitors,
requesting. his lordship to authorise the local magis-
trates to issue a warrant or summons for service
upon Capt. Peagrim, commanding the Nashville,
calling upon him by the production of the authority
under which he acts to show cause why he should
not deliver up to Capt. Nelson the property in
question, which is alleged to be detained on board
the Nashville. The application to the magistrates
is understood to have been made with the know-
ledge. and sanction of Mr. Adams, the American
Minister, and on the recommendation of two emi-
nent counsel—one of them at the Equity I.3Ft,
rtealel
other practising in the Court of Admiralo:.

THE SUN.
LONDON, THURSDAY, NOV. 28, 1861.

Whatevvr the law of the case, all Englishmen
will be slow to regard the seizure of the passengers
on board a British mail ship in any light but one
—that of a bullying exhibition of what Yankees
dare do against unarmed " Britishers." This was
the meaning of the act, and the common sense of
the country will treat it according to its meaning,
rot according to the technicalities of international
law. It will not be easy, and we do not know that
it would be right, to repress indignation. We are
not without hope that the Crown lawyers will
decide that an unarmed passenger on board a
British ship, be he from what country he may,
can no more be seized without our authorisa-
tion, than if the same man were standing
on British soil. However this may be,
we regard the act as an intentional insult to the
British flag, and an insult for which the Govern-
ment at the North is responsible. The officer in
command of the San Jacinto was, of course, but
their servant; his manner of executing orders
might bo more or less rude, but the groat insult is
from ABRAHAM LINCOLN,

The wantonness of the seizure is apparent in
its inutility ; and in the far greater mischief it
must do to the Northern cause in Europe than any
which could have been effected by the two commis-
sioners reaching this country. It was known that
the South had its commissioners here, in fact,
already, and probably by this time all the written
communications brought over by Messrs, SLIDELL
and MASON are in Mr. YANCEY'S hands. Ample
means will be found, when vessels are run-
ning the blockade every day, to communicate
with Europe, and nothing, therefore, of im-
portance could be gained by capturing the two
individuals. The San Jacinto has really done little
more than taken two of the Southern population
prisoners to New York.

But if the gain in that respect be very small,
the mischief done in arousing the of Europe
will be great. France will in a measure share
the displeasure of England, notwithstanding the
t"43imn. of Americans towards her. Perhaps,
indeed,
--merica knows that the EMPEROR
would not bane 1,,,t up
with such an insult for a
moment, the attempt
might not have been made
on a French ship.
Still France will feel with
England that maritime xi
more than ever, are Hatiletet,oefbewhich she thinks
pleasure in the West, if beh,,,i trifled with at
oar like this is tole-
rated. Here the feeling will be
one of universal
contemptuous irritation ; not just +ls one which
can best serve North American interests at
this moment. If at a time when we could settle
the conflict for ever by the action we took, they see
fit to commit against us illegal acts, or acts of ques_
tionable legality, and acts certainly of the most
provoking discourtesy, what may we not look for
if they can reestablish their power? The North
has now done what it can to make the cause of the
South the popular cause in England, and to convert
into heroes men who, had they been allowed to
reach this country, would, from the capacity they
came in, have met with but a cold reception. We
must not, it is true, lose our temper with swagger-
ing bullies, and reciprocate their behaviour, but we
shall at least be discharged from the obligation to
show to them ordinary international civilities.
We will not push and insult in return, but it will
bet Les easy for us to make our bow to those who
venture to annoy us up to the very limits of pro-
voking Police intervention.
We are indeed b
y no means sure that Mr.

WARD and the American Cabinet do not wish for a
quarrel with Great Britain. That very vain stump-
orator has done his utmost in this way already.
He has pointed to Canada, and urged the Governors
of the States to fortify against us, as if he expected
to bring us into hostile collision with his country ;
and now this last act seems the most defiant of
all. It should be remembered that the business
might have been managed quite otherwise if there
had been a desire not to irritate. Amongst other
courses, the American commander might have been
instructed to demand the extradition, and if it
were refused by the captain, to have retired under
protest, and to have sailed at once for England
and demanded it of our Government. There was
no imperative necessity to violate our flag in order
to attain their object. If one of our captains had
refused to give up what the Americans had a right
to claim, our Government would certainly have
made the surrender.

But we can hardly believe the law to be with the
Americans, even if we overlook the outrage itself.
It is acknowledged that a neutral nation has no
right to convey contraband of war to either belli-
gerent; it is also acknowledged that military and
naval officers are included under that category,
since an officer of ability is the most efficient in-
strument of war. But we do not yet remember a
case of civilians being so treated. These civilians,
moreover, were being conveyed by the Trent from
one neutral port to another. They were not
taken from American soil. They were found at
Havannah—owing, therefore, temporary allegiance
to the Queen of SPAlN—where the San
Jacinto did not dare to meddle with them.
They came on board the Trent, and were
from that moment answerable to British law
and therefore entitled to British protection. The
commander of the vessel would have known that he
was not entitled to carry the fighting men in uni-
form of either party, for the QUEEN'S proclamation
warned him against " carrying officers, soldiers,
despatches, arms, military stores, or materials for
the use or service of either of the contending parties."
But he could not know, as we are friendly with
North and South, that he was not entitled to carry
as a passenger any civilian from either country who
offered himself. We must think that he had. If
he had not, when the Nashville has refitted
she might, if able, stop any of our trans-
atlantic steamers, and take from them all
the passengers to the North who were
citizens there. Indeed should the Americans sus-
tain their point legally, we hope the Cunard
steamers will deem it a point of honour to surrender
at once all the native Americans on board whom any
Southern privateer may demand. If they can be
legally demanded the Cunard steamer would be
wrong in firing a single gun in their defence.
Somehow the Americans appear to have put
themselves as much as possible in the wrong what-
ever be the law of the case. Their servant did his
part as rudely as he could, firing shot and shell at
first instead of blank cartridge, entering our ship
with a needless display of force, placing his own in
a position to sink her, demanding that our Captain
should come on board his vessel, and after
all requiring provisions for the two men
whom he taken from the ship in which they were
provided for. And then for whom did this rude
officer make his rude demands—for a people who
have always been so touchy on this question of the
right of search; the people to whose criminal perver-
sity it is due that Cuba is now full of slaves brought
in under the American flag—the people who insist,
therefore, that their flag shall be inviolate for the
protection of the slave pirate—this, of all others is
the neonle whn finn, nri that the British flagshall not
protect a Southern American passing from one
. neutral port to another! \Ve cannot forget that
while they thus seize deserters from the Federal Go-
-ieFies went t; war' with Ili On the question whether
we might take deserters from our navy out of their
ships. Nor is it inapposite to recall the fact that
the commander cf the American ship who refused
to surrender the Hungarian KOSTA, who had placed
himself at Smyrna under the American flag, was
applauded and rightly enough, most rapturously,
by his own people on his return home.
We can hardly doubt, however, that Lord
PALMERSTON may be trusted to sustain our national
honour. We none of us wish him to violate inter-
national law, but we hope he will find himself in
the position to demand the two men, and an
apology also. Should the law be against us, we trust
that he will insist on suitable reparation for
the insulting behaviour of the American officials ;
and, whatever be the issue, we fear we must regard
all prospect of goodwill between England and the
Northern States as at an end. It will be impossible
to regard them with any other feeling than con-
tempt, although contempt will not be a motive
strong enough to provoke to bloodshed. We
should not, however, regret to hear of the recal of
Lord LYONS.

The last month of 1861 being now close upon us,
we begin to look forward, of course, as to something
not so very remote, to the Great International
Exhibition of 1862. Besides the reminder afforded
to us by the mere date upon the almanack, therels
that very substantial and conspicuous reminder
rising day after day higher and higher down at
South Kensington. Already the Building there is
ugly enough to startle even the most tolerant and
unobservant passer-by into attention. The gigantic
iron girders, the millions of pale-baked bricks, the
unnumbered waggon-loads of timber—all the con-
fusion, and jumble, and chaos, both of sights and
sounds, noticeable about the immediate precincts of
Captain FOIVKES'S architectural masterpiece, con-
strain anyone who goes thither in hopes of seeing
how matters are gating on, to understand tho-
roughly well that there is not much time to spare
left. But one note is audible there from sunrise to
sundown—the note, of course, of preparation. The
spectacle is rapidly assuming to itself a
resemblance to that which immediately preceded
the completion of Sir JOSEPH PAXTON'S first
exquisite Crystal Palace—meaning not the perma-
nent one at Sydenham, but the purely temporary
one in Hyde Park. That lovely vista of glass and
iron extended along the green sward from east to
west upon the margin of Kensington Gore. Who
does not still bear it in vivid recollection ? Who
does not yet remember how, even towards the close
of April, 1851, it seemed almost matter of despair
to think seriously
the solemn inauguoraftiMayday
the
as the Exhibition day fi rheyd
tfho
er
prognostic—all
And yet, how, in spite of every
sinister
y erseverance of
the difficulties were scat-
tered to the winds by the stead
those entrusted with the conduct of the whole en-
terprise. How sang Mr. THACKERAY with a lyric
eloquence worthy not alone of the great Satirist-
Humorist of the Age, but of a sort of Ex-official
Laureate into the bargain ?

But yesterday a naked sod
The dandies sneered from Rotten-row,
And cantered o'er it to and fro;
And see 'tis done

" As though 'twere by a wizard's rod,
A blazing arch of lucid glass
Leaps like a fountain from the grass
To meet the sun I"
Unhappily, we have no chance of beholding, down
at South Kensington, in the new building now

rising there rapidly, any such magical and pictu-
resque spectacle as this! Bricks and mortar, iron
and wood, are preparing for us anything rather
than the emanation of a necromancer's art. And
what is the worst part of it, is the very obvious
consideration that the result we are hardly so likely
to be rid of, as we were quit of the Crystal Palace
when the Exhibition of 1851 was past and gone—
vanished from our ken like a beautiful day-dream
as it was.

Nevertheless, if we have seemingly but little to
congratulate ourselves upon in regard to the pros-
pective Home of the International Exhibition of
1862, as compared with that of its prototype, the
International Exhibition of 1851, we have at least
a tolerable certainty that the new display is likely to
vie very creditably indeed with its predecessor.
In some particulars, in fact, it is tolerably certain
to surpass it. A hint, for example, has been
taken from the intermediate Exhibition of one
particular department, down in one particular
part of the provinces—namely, down at Man-
chester. The Manchester Art Exhibition may
be said to have grafted upon the forthcoming De-
monstration—what cannot tail to be one of its most
resplendent attractions, and what is also certain to
be henceforth among the most remarkable of its
distinguishing characteristics. Science and in-
dustry, it will be for long remembered, received
each a wondrous illustration from the array pre-
sented to view in 1851 underthe crystalline roof raised
by the skill of Sir JOSEPH PAXTON. But art there,
save as applied to manufactures, was almost, one
might say, forgotten. A sprinkling of remarkable
examples of the sculptor's genius lent a very
memorable charm, of course, to the Nave and Tran-
septs of the marvellous edifice. Who has not a
recollection of Kiss's "Amazon"--bestriding her
charger and darting her deadly javelin at the tiger
clinging to the shoulder of that terror-stricken
quadruped ? Who is there bat remembers the
colossal effigy of GODFREY DE BOUILLON, armed
cap-a-pie and seated upon his war-horse ? Who
that once saw it will ever quite forget that grim,
heroic bronze statue of the grand old veteran Mar-
shal RADETZKI ? Or HIRAM POWER'S lovely
Greek Slave, " the cynosure of neighbouring
eyes," as she turned and turned them upon her
revolving pedestal ? Or the Veiled Vesta ? Or
the Youth Stepping into the Stream? Or the
little serio-comic incident of the broken drum ?
Or again—outside the Crystal Palace, looking
westwards, the model of what the nation has since
purchased in enduring metal, the Baron MARO-
CIIETTI'S chivalrous and magnificent idealisation of
the Royal Red Cross Knight, our own dauntless
King RICHARD CCEUR DE LION ? Sculpture, cer-
tainly, as one of the Fine Arts, was not in 1851
altogether overlooked. Any more than music
was when the Crystal Palace was inaugu-
rated upon Mayday—when the same lyrist,
already quoted, could cry out in a rapture of ad-
miration—
" The engine roars upon its race,
The shuttle whirrs along the woof.
The people hum from floor to roof
With Babel tongue.
"The fountain in the basin plays,
The chanting organ echoes clear,
An awful chorus 'tis to hear,
A wondrous song I"
Yes, after all, neither sculpture nor music were quite
lost sight of in the International Exhibition of 1851.
But—painting ? Well, of that—there was then
absolutely not a thought. And it is precisely be-
cause the approaching Exhibition of 1862 will make
much of its grand Picture Galleries that we look
forward to it as certain to vie even with its glorious
and successful precursor. Insomuch are we san-
guine that it will come out creditably in spite of
the severe ordeal of the formidable comparison to
which it cannot fail to be subipc.tdiiigNe,,Sfill
placency, on the threatened ugliness of the Home
preparing for it !

GREAT FALL IN CONSOLS.

CITY, HALF PAST Two.
Consols have fallen to 9114, on a report tha'
10,000 troops are to be sent to Canada.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
entertained her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge
and the Princess Mary at dinner last evening at Gloucester
House. A select circle was invited to meet their royal
highnesses.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Downshire and
Col. the Hon. A. N. and Lady Mary Hood have arrived at
Grendon Hall, Warwickshire, in order to bo present at the
funeral of the late Lady Charlotte Chotwynd, which is to
take place to-morrow at Grendon Church.

The Earl of Clanwilliam has left Belgrave
square for Brighton.

Lord and Lady Sondes and the Hon. Miss Milles
have left Brighton for their seat, Elham Hall, Norfolk.
Lord and Lady Hawarden have arrived at Wal-
lace's Hotel, St. George's-place, from Ireland.
Baroness Lionel de Rothschild and Miss de
Rothschild arrived at Gunnersbury-park a few days sinco
from the Continent.

It is said that nearly the whole of the specie
shipped by recent mails to India has been for the purpose
of buying up part of the excessive stocks of Manchester
goods in that country on English account.

About £40,000 in gold will be remitted to Spain
dui ing the next ten days. There is no demand for specie
far any other countries, and such arrivals as take place will
be sent to the Bank of England.
BIRMINGHAM CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.—BIR-
31INGHAM, Wednesday.—At a meeting of this body held
to-day it was resolved to hold an anniversary dinner, and to
invite the attendance of such members of Parliament and
delegates from other chambers as may think proper to at-
tend. The real meaning is that a convenient occasion may
be afforded to Mr. Bright for reappearing before his con-
stituents, his voice not having been heard here since the
commencement of the last Parliamentary session.
THE VACANT JUDGESHIP.—Some doubt appears
to exist as to the probability of the vacant judgeship being
offered to or accepted by the Attorney-General, who un-
doubtedly has no prescriptive claim to a puisne judgeship,
and who might well decline a post yielding an emolument
inferior to that arising from his present office. Rumour in
Westminster Hall has been busy with the names of various
leaders of long standing and eminence, whose lipened ex-
perience, dignified and gentlemanly deportment, and ma-
tured knowledge of the world, combined with their acknow-
ledged legal acquirements, would be well calculated to
supply in the Court of Queen's Bench the great loss of Mr.
Justice Hill. Sir W. Alexander, Mr. Knowles, Mr. M.
Chambers, Mr. Macaulay, Mr. Lush, and Mr. Sergeant
Shee have been freely spoken of, and it is felt that the re-
cognition by a liberal Government of the claims of the last
named gentleman would (however tardy) be at the present
conjuncture of political affairs equally graceful and appro-
priate.
REMARKABLE RESCUE.—An extraordinary case
of rescuing from instantaneous death has occurred at
Otley. It appeared that a few days ago a man named
Henry Robinson, well known as a fisherman, picked up in
the river Wharfe, which was then swollen, a large plank
belonging to Ackroyd, Duncans, and Co., worsted spinners,
Otley, whose works are situated on the banks of that
stream, and from which it had been washed away. On
Saturday morning last Robin,on, accompanied by a young
man named Ellis, took back the piece of timber to the mill.
Arrived there, Robinson, who led the ac ay, but whose
organs of vision are unfortunately very defective, unlocked
and opened what he supposed was the joiner's shop door,
but which turned out to be one leading to a largo fly-
wheel, then in rapid motion, and stepping into the place he
fell forward, and soon afterwards became entangled in the
machinery. His piercing cries were heard by Ellis, who
faonrdwadrd to the
twio rescueany justo c
was close behind, and -he at once threw down the plank
which

also raised from his feet at the same moment. Robinson
sustained some severe contusions on the left foot, and his
deliverer was also slightly injured on the shoulder. Robin-
son immediately hugged and caressed his friend for. saving
him from a frightful death; but the feelings of Ellis were
so much overpowered by the important part which he had
just played in the dreadful scene, that for some time the
brave fellow was utterly unable to articulate a single
—Zeds alenory,
