of the act of carrying Messrs. Mason and Slid
'jell on board the Trent, a vessel belonging tc
the same company as the Teviot. Of all the
precedents quoted in our favour none appears tc
apply so much to the case in point as this. It
justifies in every respect the conduct of the captain
of the San Jacinto, and gives additional force to
the reported decision of the law officers of the
Crown with respect to the right of search, which
we published yesterday. If, indeed, the British
Government feel any disposition to quarrel with
this country, they will be unable to find a suffi
Liaent pretext in the action of Captain Wilkes
'rid even had he gone further than In
lid, and seized the Trent, as well as the robe
-raissaries, he would have been justified under the
circumstances, for Mason and Slidell were contra-
band of war, and known to be such by the
eeptain of the steamer. But England has toe
many exposed interests at stake to risk a rupture
with the United States, even apart from the ques-
tion of right. We have therefore ample guarantee
for her future good behaviour, Canada is within
a little more than two days' railway ride of half a
million of armed men, and has a frontier that cars
lifer no resistance to the march of an invading force
from the United States. Moreover we have our own
'ormidable and rapidly increasing naval armaments
bristling before her eyes; and she well knows that
hostile interference with us would involve the loss of
tier immense trade with the North. She will conse-
quently, we may rest assured, be in no hurry to
embroil herself in another American difficulty; for'
if she does the destiny of her power on this conti-
eent is predetermined."
The .21Teto York limes of the 9th instant, in an'
I
article on the affair of the Nashville, says :
"While awaiting for a day or two the news of the
manner in which the Trent affair has been received
in England, we have a most profitable study in the
oew revelation of the mysteries of British neutrality
eresented by the case of the rebel steamer Nash-
ville. If it had been given us to control events so
is to prepare England for the reception of the news
)f our seizure of Mason and Slidell, we would hardly
lave done otherwise than ask that this transaction
heuld take place, and that it would evoke the very
), inions it has evoked. Whatever might be the bel-
igerent rights of the Nashville to seize United States
vessels, she entered Southampton as a pirate, after
having, in the fece of international law, wantonly
iestroyed her capture. There can be but one result
if Mr. Adams acts with adequate vigour, the con-
fiscation of the lawless enemy of commerce, Thil
aearing of this case on the affair of the Trent is s'
)bvious, It is evident the English consider their -
I;onduct affords us, as it does, just ground of com-
plaint, if it does not present a cams belli ; even soi
-iiat it is not at all unlikely the British Goaernmentp
will be very willing to quietly make the one cast !.'

NEW YORK, DEC. 12.
The steamer Hadsa, which sailed from South-
ampton on the 28th ult., or the day after that on
which the arrest of Messrs. Mason and Slidell be-
came known in England, has arrived here. The
effect of the news in England is not considered in
New York so unfavourable as was expected.

The opening sentences of the Burial Service were sung
