ray Of hope from this side Eliminates the

This decision will be the cue for Louis M

Lion and assistance On this side may be- con
sldered up. The gloom that hns been gather-
Ing over the secession cause In general. md
the mind Of John Bull In particular, has now
illuminated In one grand pail Of despair. All
that cheeky, exu1tant tone, which was so rife
before the 4th Of July, has gone to the tomb
Of the Capplets: It's not one disaster. or
one PIECE Of bad news, but myriad. You
know "gorroWs come not single spies, but
In battalions." Those sorrows are for the
Southern rebels, and they are caused BY the
batta1ions Of Uncle Sam.
LONDON, Sept. Q. 1858.
The London Times has leader in answer to
letter from q correspondent, who contends
that the two ships in the Mersey, supposed
to be for the rebels, should be seized. The
Times remarks, In reply, that the necessary
legal proofs arc still wanting, but concludes
By saying:
After all, however, perhaps our corres-
pondent Is simply expressing desire, which
re have no doubt is very generally felt, that
the Government would cut vexntiou5 Knot
bY OBTAINING the two steam rams and trusting
the case to trial. However, that is matter
for the Government itself to consider,
There Is very common belief that these
vessels to whatever order they were ortgi.
nally laid down, Or to whatever nation they
may be intermediately passed, are destined
In the end for the service Of the Confederates
against the Federals. There is an unusually
general impression that if we we're In the
position Of the Federals, and had suffered as
they have from the operations Of such yes
eelB, we should be unlikely to take the mat
should expect to find much counterpoise to
these opinions. in any sympathy for that
commercial adventure which selects channels
Of such equtyocl propr1ety. In short, If
the Ministers defend these vessels We do not
thing they would be justified In doing so;
but the question entirely depends upon the
evidence, which can only be known hereafter.
The London Herald refuses to believe the
statement Of the London R7ss that the Gov
eminent has decided to retain the steam rams
launched by Mr. Laird In the Mersey, aud in
a characteristic editorial denounces such q
monstrous piece Of tyranny, and placid nc
quiescence II the outrageous demands Of the
Federal Government.
The Londoh Star, Of the 10th inst, says we
are able to state on undoubted authority that
the Government have ordered the two steam
rams which have been the subject Of SO much
controversy to be detained.

liberty, he will adorn the executive chair

Massachusetts will give renewed emphasis
