CENsORsHIP ILLUsrRATEp.

As we pay largely for the support OF an able
and faithful Bureau of Correspondence at
Washington, it Seems simple justice to our
selves to state that the following dispatch, pre-
pared in that Bureau on Friday last, would
have appeared in our columns on Saturday
morning had it not been suppressed by the
Government Censor in the Washington Tele-
graph Office. We make no comments.
THE SUPPRESSED DISPATCH.
g The British question has received its solution.
AT noon to-day Sidel and Mason were placed at the
disposal OF Lord Lyons. The vote in the Cabinet by
which this surrender made is said to have been
unanimous. The discussions which preceded it
showed that the opposition to compliance with the
British demands was earnest and strong, though in a
minority. Concord required the unaniInify which
the measure finally received"

no decided opinion. We certainly agree with
The Times we had the happiness to do In
the earlier part of last Summer-in wishing
that the work of crushing out this wicked
atrocous Rebellion should be prosecuted with
all possible energy and vigcr. We know what
might have been done last JuRe-for We know
the forces which each party was then able to
bring into the field: not being 80 well informed
with regard to the present relative strength of
the two great armies, We are more anxious
that Gen. Mcclellan shall 90 forward wisely
and surely than that he shall proceed rapidly.
We heartily concur in the spirit of The Times's
last quoted remarks though we are unable so
thoroughly to indorse its precise recommends
tions. We only suggest to The Times that, in
case its promptings should this time be obeyed,
and the immediate result should be adverse, it
will not again unite with The Herald and The
World in attempting to fasten all the odium OF
ill-success upon THE TRIBUNE. Is that too

OF course the measure bears on its face the
evidence of gross fraud upon the taxpayers,
even if the circumstances attending its passage
through the Legislature and the Common Coun-
ell were less disreputable. May we hope that
its consummation will be resisted to the utter
most BY tie Corporation Counsel 7 He has .
having passed to the city for the franchise
which, instead of being given away, should b!

lie auction; and he has also the power
to make the swindle void, for violation
of the 37th section OF the amended char
ter. Let us also hope that the in
coming District-Attorney will investigate tht
influences brought to bear upon the Common
Council TO effect its passage, as rigidly as hi
predecessor pursued the Hackley Street-Clean

We are permitted to publish the following
extract of letter from q distinguished
Englshman, formerly Member Of Parliament,
dated London, Dec. 10:
"Long before Secession accomplished fact, the
press England had been tsmpered with by the e'sre'
Of your dsunion party Men had been idustousy at WORK

of action they still active, and the punder OF the

No doubt there is great truth in these
affirmatons. We can hardly suppose thai
intelligent Engiishmen would undertake to
defend the cause of the Southern conspirators
without some extraordinary inducements OF
private nature.
