The compliments of the day were passed, and
thoreupon conversation Of "a general nature fol-
lowed. 10 was agreed by all that the atmosphere
was quite chilly. The distinguished party being
ready, they were transferred about eleven O'Clock,
10 the May Queen, and were, under an escort
commanded by Lieut.. Fairfax, soon conveyed 10
the island.
Upon their arrival within the fort, Colonel
Dimmick was attending service, which is now
regularly held ON Sundays. He was informed of
their arrival, and at once proceeded 10 his quar-
tiers, where they wera in waiting. An iutroJUc-
ton followed. Capt. McKim, on TINS occasion,
being master of ceremonies. The interview was
somewhat formal, but the veteran Colonel was
kind and courteous, though firm and digniHed.
They Were assigned their apartments, which
were as good as the fort affords. and IN about
half an hour were occupying them Their arr
val, as may well be supposed, produced a sensa-
ton at the fort, alike among the prisoners and
the garrison. The political prisoners in a special
manner manifested most intense interest, and so
far as they were allowed, iOcked about the illus
trious new corners. They were, however, per
mitted TO have but little conversation
OF the appearance Of the prisoners we may
say that Sldell is much detected. He does not
bear his fortunes with as brave a front as was
expected. On the contrary, Mason IS prodigal
of a%iriness, and displays a daredevil don't-care-
~ativeness that is somewhat characteristic Of the
man. So far as outward appearance goes, be IS
still, in ring parlauce, game The two min
listers" messed at the table Of the commodore,
and, political topics being avoided, the relations
between them have been exceedingly pleasant
Upon taking leave of the officers IN the ward
room Of the San J~aciutO, yesterday morning,
friendly sentiments were cordially offered, and
as cordially returned Col Dimmick is very
strict in regard to visitors entering the fort, and
hereafter his instructions are such that no boat,
except the tug employed by the government,
win be permitted to touch at the wharf There
are only two persons who can give passes to
those having business, which viii be good, and
mere curiosity-yisitoIs viii be entirely excluded

DECLARATION RECEPTION By COLONEL
MAuCK
From the New York Times, November 81
The passage occupied five days, including one
days stoppage at Newport, where she put In for
coal, and was exceedingly rough and unpleasant
The Tebel. commissioners remained in the cabin
nearly all the time, although they were allowed
the freedom of the vessel Mason came out on
deck three or four times during the trip, but
SEdell did not make his appearance outside the
cabin. The marshal was introduced to the pTis-
oners on first going aboard, but held no converse
ton with them during the trip. The prisoners
were not at all laxative with any one except
themselves and their secretaries, Eustis and
Mcfarland, and the only amusement they seem
ed to have was an occasional game OF backgam-
mon, When they were first taken on board,
after their capture from the British steamer.
Capt. Wilkes told them that be should endeavor
to make them as comfortable as ms means would
permit, but he wished it distinctly understood
that they were on a United States government
vessel, and that there must be no political talk
on board. They messed with Capt. Wilkes dur
ing the trip, and were made as comfortable as
the bOIstarOus voyage would permit. They ar
rived of Fort Warren early Sunday morning
last, and at 9 O'Clock, the marshal aud Captain
Wilkes left the ship and went to the fort to make
arrangements with the cOmmaudGuj, Col Dim
mick, for the reception of the prisoners.
Everything being prepared, the debarkation
took place at n o'clock. Mason first came out
of the cabin, dressed in Virginia hOmespuu, and
as he walked up TO the gaugway, on either side
of which stood Capt Wilkes and Marshal Muir
ray, he is presented ss the most forIoru picture
of chop-fallen chivalry ever witnessed. The
look Of mingled fear and despair depicted upon
his coUntepauce, the Hopping OF his under jaw,
which the Marshal Ikeus TO the movement of a
pump-handle, and the utter want Of heart and
manliness with which he bore his situation-so
different nom the supercliOuS, defiant and dOmi-
ueeriug airs which he used to assume in Tie
United States Ssnate-were calculated to inspire
only derision and contempt in the minds Of the
spectators After him came Siidtll, with a some
what less timid air, but still his knees every now
and then betraYiug by their shaky motions The /
tTepidatOQ which their owner stIOvu 20 conceal /
Their secretaries, Eustis and Mcfarland, !
brought up the rear and showed far more pluck /
than their employers-beiug aware, probably,
that their comparative insignihcauce would tell
la their favor when the day of reckoniEe came. ,
On leaving the vessel tie HaTsy bowed to Capt |

The Marshal here informed the prisoners that he
would be under the necessity Gi searching their
baggage, and requested them 10 hand over their
keys. They complied, and o thorough search
was made, but no papers OF dispatches of any
kind were ilgad. The Marshal then returned
the keys, and the prisoners were shown to their
quarters.
