our own people will not submit to dictation

not be amiss to set every ship-yard from Ban

The excitement created yesterday by the re-
ception of the news from England was un-
questionably heightened by feeling of disap-
poiutnent. Our wishes and our hopes had
jumped together. and the report. brought by q
previous steamer, that the law officers Of the
Crown had justified the act of Capt. Wilkes,
lad met with almost universal credence. III,
Times had growled, aud the lesser lights bad
erumbled, but that was no more than we had
expected, nor could We look or less. But it
was encouraging to see that where the case
was discussed iRttlligently, and as IN TIE
Times, if acknowledgment was ample, that,
under International law, the seizure of the
Rebels Mason and SlidelI, on q British vessel,
was no more than our right. 1.-The manner OF

TEE NEWS HI TIE CITY.

The news from England, as was to be az
pected, created profound sensation yesterday
in the city, The Stock market experienced
heavy decline, as will be seen by our commer.
cial reports, rallying somewhat, however, ~

Washington, it being generally conceded that
the probability of a war was, at the worst toe
remote to excite serious apprehension. OF
course there was good deal Of clustering on
the part Of the reckless and unrefectipe, and Q
disposition to defy England to do Der worstI
but it appeared to be the sentiment Of tho
"solid men" that if, after mature examination.
we find we are in the right, then we must
maintain the course Of Capt. Wilkes at an
costs. If, on the other hand. we find we have
erred, then we should frankly and fairly say
go. and end the matter. Tue general opinion,
however favored the retention Of Mason and

could handsomely disclaim any detention Of in-
sutipg the British flag, and stand firmly, on
British precedents, against delivering up note-
rious rebels who were taken while on then

could do with good grace, since the Trent

reported that the Board Of Underwriters

official intelligence from Washington before

mands of England and the policy oil our Hov-

The Position of MARYLAND.

The Baltimore Clipper, in i strong
Union article, says:
The people of Maryland are not to be
blinded to these facts by passionate appeals
to their sympathy in favor of their South
ern neighbors who have wantOnly institu-
ted rebellion against the Federal Govern
ment. and are heedlessly moving heaven
and earth in their efforts to prccipitate up
on the csuntry a hideOusly devastating civil
war, in which her people and her interests
must be utterly ~aunihilated. They will
lock at things as they are. and they see for
themselves that in any other event than
the maintenance of the Union and their
constitutional rights in it, they have every
thing to lose and nothing whatever to gain;
that all their duties and all their interests
require a firm maintenance of their posi-
ton in the Union, and the preservation Of
its blessings and its benefits.
