WHAT Is SAID ABOUT IT.

The action of the government, in delivering
up Mason and Slidell, is generally sustained
by the press. In some cases more satisfaction
is expressed than in others, but, i'll all cases,
so Tar as we have observed, there is a control.
ing conviction that the decision is wise one.
There is no lack of Indignation at the un
friendly manner and spirit of Great Britain
in this affair; but this Indignation is in most
cases carefully bottled up for future use A day
will come when Great Britain will find herself
compelled to eat the fruit of our present doings
So many of our contemporaries appear to
think This feeling, however, is quietly indi-
Gated rather than expressed, by most of them.
We make few extracts from editorials on the
subject. The following is from the Boston
POST
''And now what shall be the course of the
American people Shall it, for moment, be
such as to make good the words OF their enc
mics and cauminators? II is printed in Paris
that the Americans are in no condition to s.

Washington cabinet have committed them
selves to the principle, our country, right or
wrong, and in the fact of the mob will neither
have the courage nor the dignity TO do JUS.

Times says that ii Mason and Slidell are given

MASON, SL1DELL, &c.-The Boston Trav.
eller states that the Niagara will leave Boston
to-day or tomorrow, for Liverpool, carrying
Mason and Slidell, and that this is in conse-
quence Of orders received from Lord Lyons.
The dispatches announcing the result OF the
negotiation went to England in the Teutonia,
which left New York Saturday evening,
having been detained in order to receive
them. She goes to Southampton. The Trav-
eller says; =
"There was no communication with for,
Warren on saturday, in consequence of the
gale, and the prisoners taken from the Trent
were ignorant of the decision of the federal
government in favor OF their release. Yester.
day newspapers were carried down, containing
the official correspondence, and Mr.. Mason
was noticed at the window of his room, perus.
ing the intelligence with smile OF satisfaction
upon his countenance. Mr.. Slidel kept in the
back ground. No official order has yet gone
down for the release Of the prisoners.

ceding Christmas. gained possession of the

elegant easy chair, and made other prepare
tons for good social time. On the return
of Mr., Reynolds one of their number met him
at the door, and escorted him into his own
parlor, now filed with the scholars whom he
had, an hour or two before, dismissed from the
school-room, with no thought of seeing them
again till the next school-day morning. Scarce

expectedly felt and passed when the easy chair
was rolled out from their midst, and presented
in a neat and complimentary address delivered
by Miss Clara L, Gilbert. Mr.. Reynolds re
sponded in brief expression of the encour-
agement and satisfaction such evidences of the
kind regard of his pupils afforded him and
then the young people proceeded to the per.
