THE sIInELL AND MAsoN QUESTION.
From the Boston Airer'iser we copy the fol-
lowing letter, said to have emanated from tho
pen of Edward Everett
80 The Ediiors qfhe Bos,on Duly Al"crti-
ssr,--SOme doubt has been expressed whether
,he arrest Of Mrssrs Mason and Slilell on an
English vessel may not bo made ground Of
complaint by Great Britain In recognil ding
the rebels as helligrrents, however, that power
has accorded to both parties the free exercise of
every bolligerent right. Among those rights
no one is better established than the maritime
rights of visitation and search. We speak now
o! the right OF visitation and search in time Of
var-nOt of the claim which has b1ru the sub
jcct Of disagreement between this country aud
Great Britain, to visit our ships for slaves or
a legged desortcrs. So well recognized Is this
rsht thai the mere refusal to submit 10 it by
vessel Otherwise innocent is cause oi cOniisca-
ton and oIl,iure.
"Th. detention AMI examination Of the Trent
upon which M,ssrs VI ,son and Slidcll were
found, furnishes, then, no cause Of complaint.

One Of the most prudent and successful en-
tcrprises undertaken in this city is thus briefly
characterized In the Sabbath Committee's Cir

Sabbath and the Public Document No. 20:-
Then, 0our years ago. Sunday laws were
~ obsolete and imperative IN New York n in
Nituna : nobody attempted or expected their
enforcement Now, they arc as efficiently ex-
ocuted as other statutes, with the cordial ap-
proyal of our citizens generally. Then, hum
dr"ds OF newsbOys Overran the city every Sab
lath, disturbing the pence of tho whole

and most Of ON STR cts are quiet -

o,O dram shops plicl their deadly traffic open
and without hindciancc ; now, their doors
Il shutters are generally closed, and IL liquors

,orc OF theatres made Sunday their chief day
profit and pleasure, with no adequate law 10
train them; nOw stringent law is on our
'LtUic look, its constitutOnality affirmed, and
'f penalties inflicted, in spite of the most pow
al combinations. Them the arrests for Sum
= crime exceeded the average by % per cent;
~, the ck-day arrests are 30 per cent more
an on Sundays. Thcn,th the secular press ignored

-incc and now, the entire press Of the city, unin-
tercstcd in Sunday issues-with perhaps single
cNcpction-has been and is earnestly enlisted In
support Of this reform. Then, the entire German
population was claimed TO bc welded to Sunday
