THE TRENT AFFAIR.
1t was reported that notwithstanding the
pacific solution of the American question,
warIike preparations at Woolwich have not
been relaxed. The steamers Spartan and
Ajax continued to take in heavy stores for
Halifax and Jamaica. No official notice had
yet been given at Portsmouth respecting any
discharge of hired mechanics or laborers but
it was understood the reduction would take
place in April
A cabinet council summoned for the 14th,
had been countermanded, Mr.. Stewards dis
patch having been considered in Il council on

The Times understands that an answer will
be returned expressing qualification at the dis
ayOwal of Captain Wilkes act, accepting the
satisfaction rendered, and assuming that the
precedent in the Trent case will rule the case
of the schooner Eugenia Smith. AS to Mr..
Stewards general discussion of the law Of
neutrals, the government will decline any an

submitting the Whole note to their law officers.
There are propositions in this note which are
not at all admissible, and after the delivery of

the bills are all in, it will be double that sum,
and that the money has not been thrown away.
The Daily News is eulogistlc of the course
pursued by the Washington government, and
bitterly denounces the policy OF the Times and
Post.
The Times has strong editorial on the re-
ception due to Mason and Sidell, and says
they are about the most worthless booty it
would be possible to extract from the jaws of
the American lion, having been long known
as blind and habtual haters and revilers Of
England. The Times sincerely hopes that
EngIlshmen will not give these fellows any
thing in the shape OF an ovation The civility

England has returned good Tor evil, and even
now, if they can, they will be here only to en-
tangle us in a war with the north. England
would have done as much to rescue two ne
groes Let Mason and Sldell, therefore, pass
quietly on their ~, and have their say with
any body who they may have to listen TO them.
The other journals advise similar course,
and allude to Masons strong advocacy of the
fugitive slave law, in order to prejudice the
public against him.
THE STONE BLOCKADE.
The Times reiterates its denuncaton of the
stone blockade of Charleston harbor, and say S
that among the crimes which have disgraced
the history of mankind, it would be difficult
to find one more atrociOus than this. Even
the fereest tribes OF the desert will not destroy
the well which gives life to the enemy. The
Times protests in the strongest terms, against
such proceedings, and asserts that no belliger-
ent has right to resort to such warfare.

allowed the Nashville TO lie in wait within the
mouth of the Mersey for American packets
