Tho case of rTason and siideII.

New York, Nov. 29.-Edgin James, the dis
tinguished English lawyer now resident here
in published letter in regard to the Mason ind
Slidell case, says:
"When the question Is submitted by the Cab
met of England to the law officers or the re-
sponsible adviser of the Crown, those authori.
ties, before giving any opinion, will in all pro.
liability require from the officer 10 command Of
the Trent distinct answers to the following
questions: First, Were you acquainted with the
terms of Her Majesty's proclamation command
ing strict neutrality on the part of all her sub
jects during the term Of hostilities between the
Northern and" Southern States7 Second, Did
you not know that the two gentlemen, when
they became passengers, not refugees, on board
your vessel, we're employing themselves, or
were employed, In an enterprise Of direct hos
tility to the constituted government Of the
United States2 The answer to these two ques
tlons in the affirmative. and consistent with
truth they cannot be answered otherwise, will
reduce the question to very narrow dimensions.
Should any doubt exist upon the second propo-
sition, the message recently sent by Mr. jeff
Davis to his parliament at Richmond will much
facilitate its solution
al am, Sir, faithfully yours,
"(Signed) EDWIN JAMES.

ped, Pensacola burned, and probably Bfagg's
whole force captured.
The dispatches in the Southern papers have
no apparent end or beginning, and are very
meagre.
The cargo of the captured British Schooner
Morble consisted Of seven bales OF blankets,
four cases Of cloth, three boxes Of starch, TWEEN.
ty-fve boxes Of tin, one hundred and twenty
bags of coffee, twenty barrels Of potatoes, three
hundred and fifty pigs Of lead, thirty bags OF
shot, one box Of shoes, six bags OF arrow root.

cavalry swords, and two cases OF shoes. Inc
Marble was formerly named the Jno. w. An
derson Of Baltimore, and there is strong pre-
sumption Of her intention to run the blockade.
She will be sent to Philadelphia for adjudica-
ton. a
According to present indications the Presi-
dents message will not be sent hence In ad.
vance Of its delivery to Congress. The reason
for this is probably tho fact that IL, as well as
the reports of the Secretary OF War and Navy,
will be kept open till the latest moment, In or
der TO make such additions and alterations as
the constantly recurring events may require.
Sir inc. Ferguson having denied that he was act
ing as spy when visiting this country, u Is only
justice to him to say that he was charged by
many persons 10 the South with letters to be dis.
tributed through the postofices Of the North,
and that on arriving OF Washington and being
advised that such a conveyance Of correspond
ence was prohibited, at once repaired to the
State Department and surrendered all the let
terra to the Government.
Spencer's new repeating breech loading rifle
was tried by board Of army officers, by order
of Gen. Mcclellan, on Friday. They made
satisfactory report and recommended its intro.
duction into the service. An order for q sup
ply had previously been issued by the Navy De-
partment
Col. Berdan will grant no more commissions
to raise companies of sharpshooters for his
brigade, as enough have already been granted
TO more than ill II. Those wishing to join this
corps must enlist under Captains holding com
missions prior to this date.
PosToFFicE DEPARTMENT,

II has been reported to this Department that
some postmasters have declined to receive
United States Treasury Notes, payable on de.
mand, when presented to them In postage
stamps and stamped envelopes. Postmasters
are therefore informed that these notes are to
be received and disbursed by them as equiva.
lent In all respects to coin.

PAnAcnTNo Va. PRAcrcE.--Mr. Edilors-A
good state Of morals 70 always deslrable in ev.
cry community, and sad state Of thingi
would be the consequence OF a lack Of the
proper moral element. There arc many always
ready 10 find fault with the wickedness OF the
times, who never can see the mote In their own
eyer and those who preach morals ought to
practice them.
lam led 10 these reflections by reading some
paragraphs which have recently appeared In
tho local department OF the Ohio State Journal,
10 reference to drinking soloons being kept
open on Sundays. The writer (the local, Of
course,) complains that the laws are not enforc-
ed In regard to this matter, aud In subsequent
article states that his former complaint bad not
received attention have not the articles be-
fore me, but have given the substance.
Now, how does the Journal local know that
saloons are kept open on Sunday, In violation
Of law2 He cannot possibly know, unless he
Visits them himself. Does he do this2 Is he
common iniormer-aspy7 Has he commenced
a system Of espionage upon the conduct of
others2 Really, IL would seem so-prowling
around upon Sunday, gathering up news and
Items, violating tho Sabbath himself, aud then
complaining of others! Very consistent, ln-
deed
But this 10 not the worst OF H. The Journal
appears on Monday mornings. All the type
must be set on Sunday The hands are at work
oil day Sunday, shut up from the public gaze,
but not from the sight of every eye. Their
engine and press commence humping away
about nine o'clock Sunday evenings, disturbing
quiet people in the neighborhoOd! And this is
the concern that complains Of saloons being kept
open on sundays! Admirable consistency
And yet more: For some time past the pave
ment, directly In front of the Journal counting
room, has been occupied by two empty sugar
hogsheads. These have afforded q shelter for a
lot Of rude bad boys, who use profane and indie
cent language as'respectable citizens are pass
ing. They are nuisance, obstructing the side
walk, and If this local should see them any other
place, he would no doubt have paragraph in
the Journal, complaining of them. Hepreaches,
but he don't practice. He provides about on Sun
day, violating the day, and then inveighs against
Others for the same thing II this local, and 9TH
era, would etay away from the saloons, they
would not bo open. Don't he know that!
Who is he7 Some one imported here to
teach our citizens good morals7 Let US predict
that he is an sss. 1.-THE first and two of the
18th letters of the alphabet, will explain the
stars.I
We shall hope to hear again from him next
Monday, and will be anxious to know what ef
feet his Nouldbe ukase has had upon the saloons
and morals Of our. people Until then, we rest
