Our telegraphic news this morning IS exceed
ingly interesting. 1; will be s"sn that Lord
Lyons takes the view OF the capture OF Messrs.
Mason end Sliiell which We were su.e shc
British Government must entertain; and that
he is almost violent in toe expression OF bis
opinions. The news IS, also, that Lincoln is
not likely 20 make fepa:a.on, so that war
With Eagland seems ut present inevitable.
The advance of McClellan's eS!ny along tee
whole line OF our defencss OF the Potomac also
indicates very early and important results in
that quarter. May our brave soldiers remem-
Der that twelve millions of friends, and the
whole civilized world as spectators, arc looking
upon them! And may Henveo I'll! their hearts
with herois1u and thelc rig b: arms with skill
and strength

It will be seen that they were bought al
New Bedford, New London, Nantucket, Sag
Harbor, Edgartown, Mystic and Newport
In the bottom Of each ship hole was bored,
into which was fitted lead pipe five inches in
diameter, with valve so fixed that though
perfectly safe even for long voyage, 1t cen be
very quickly removed. /. is calculated that
the ship will be flied and sunk TO the bottom
in twenty minutes after the removal Of this
| valve.
TO provide against accidental jamming OF the
valves, each vessel is furnished With two auge1s
of The proper sZs.
The crews are of six men each. These will
be returned by the men ofwar, which will
assist in the work Of sinking. Each ship will
be anchored in the place chus. n for her, and will
then BE- sprung round n:uafGi4c 10 The channel,
thus affecting as great stoppege % possible.
