MT. Mason's return to Boston as State pris- oner will revive revive recollections of his de- caration when last in that city. that he did not expect to return thither until he should come in an official capacity as the representative of a Southern Contederacy. He is a fit representa- tive of the heleaguered rebel States, and will meet an appropriate reception.
 THE PRISONERS AT FORT WARREN, BosToN.- The reporter of the Boston Post has been visit ing Fort Warren, Boston Harbor, where the prisoners of the General Government have oeen recently transferred from Fort La Fayette, anu has given an account of his observation 'o 'ne readers of that paper. He says:
 The most noticeable prisoner al :. the roit S Marshal Kane of Baltimore. He affects slngu- larity. and is airy and arrogant. He is good looking man physically-tall and of fine pro- portions-and is quite vain in consequence. With hi, Scotch cap, and pants tucked within his boots, he looks very like a freebooter. Ex- Governor Morehead, Mr. Faulkner, Commodore Barron. and Mayor Brown, of Baltimore, are much more modest men in their ways, though hearing manner of unspeakable contempt to those about them. The political prisoners en- brace those in "purpe and fine lincn," inclu- ding all the intermediate stages. During the day, they are allowed liberal area in front of their quarters in which to exercise, walk, smoke, &c.,, &c.,, which they do not fail to improve. They nearly all take to smoking, and talk to like excess. One would judge, at the first glance, by their manners, that they are as jubilant as though at summer watering place but closer observation discloses that, at heart, they feel their true position, and are more or less unhappy. Gladly would they turn their backs on the fort.

Notice.

NN HEREAs, on the day of the death of w JAMES H. TurrLE it is quite certain that he carried about his person a pocket-book, with the intention of depositing money to a conside- rable amount at the Winsted Bank, but did not do so and as said book has not been seen by any of his friends, since his dccease, r is at least probable that it was immediately destroyed And as there arc very few papers of value be- longing to the estate yet found it is equally pro- bable that many such were destroyed with the pocketbook. Therefore, this is to notify all whom it may concern, that we the subscribers, having charge of the settlement of his estate, are under the necessity of relying entirely upon the honor of very many ot those who may have been indebted to him by note at that time.
