Mr. Mason, late unrecOgnized Minister OF
the late so.called Southern COnfederacy, writes
to The London Times that measures were taken,
when the surrender of the Southern forces was
known in Europe, to notify the commander OF
the Shenandoah of that fact, and to order him
TO cease hostlities at is to be presumed
therefore" adds the late woud-be plenipoten-
tiary "that her hostile cruise was long since
ended" BY this he mean. to say we presume
that the report of her recent pira-
ces is not true. But as 1t happens
that those acts can be as easily proved as the
fact that there is a whaling fleet in the North
seas, Mr.. MaSon's letter only settles the ques'
ton that the Captain Of the Shenandoah has de-
liberately turned pirate, with full knowledge
that the pretended Government he served
was no longer in existence. The question
of the real ownership of the Shenandoah now
becomes more interesting and important than
ever. Was she ever paid for Is she mort
gagged to British builders and capitalists and
if so, what claims have American ship-OwnerS,
who have suffered from her depredatons within
the past Summer, on the British Government

about him:
1T seems that, after undergoing many strange and
startling vicissiudes Of life. and bufeting the dark
waves of adversely and misfortune he has at length
become wealthy and titled gentleman. By the
death OF his cotsin, Sir Jasper Goode who recently
died at York, England he has fallen heir TO estates.

PouGHKEEPsrE, Dec. PA desperate attempt was
made to break Jail in this city Saturday morning,
at three o'clock. The attempt was to involve the
death of Jailer Palmer. The party attempting to
get out consisted of three persons One of them was
armed with an iron bar, and stood at the entrance
through which the jaier would pass to reach the
prisoners quarters. When that official opened the
door leading to the quarters he observed the ruan
standing with uplifted arm, the bar in his hand
ready to strike. With great presence of mind, he
quickly closed the door, thereby saving his life The
night police then called in. and the desperadoes
were secured and heavily roned. The ruiiians are
confined on the charge of river piracy. Their trial
will take place next month.
