England and Yankeedom. --When we fire learned essentially that Seward had backed out, and determined to deliver up Messrs Mason and Slidell, although we had expected such an issue, we nevertheless felt sorry, if not disappointed. We had just ae not altogether sure we shall not see it before another summer shall have passed over our heads. It is obvious that Seward's long letter, is no answer to the demand of Lord Lyons, in at least one important particular. Lord Lyons, in the most iplied with. He insists that a suitable apology shall be made for the affront. That has not been done. On the contrary, Seward opens a new question, the decision of which in his favor, must deprive Great Britain of all right to transport anybody whty certain, too, that Great Britain will have the apology which Lord Lyons was instructed to demand, and which, thus far, Seward has evaded. She is not wont to be satisfied with evasion in such a case as the present. Where the subject is one of no

committed against the world at large no less than against the power blockaded. The law of nations resents and resists this barbarous policy as infinitely more hurtful to the rights of neutrals than the much-abhorred paper blockades. The Yankees have lost sight of this important fact in giving out lucrative contracts for granite and rotten ships to the denizens of Massachusetts. The atrocity of the act of thus barricading our ports they fully feel and delight in it the more; but they were certainly ignorant of its illegality. In the eye of the law of nations, vessels now running into the harbor of Charleston are exempt from capture. If they are seized and condemned as prizes, then the Yankees will have another opportunity of displaying the white feather. The Times begins to thunder, and the British lion to roar about these cowardly blockades. Something serious is sure to come out of it.--Seward will either have to let down again, or call back his "whalers" and their rocks.

After the feast he read the correspondence between Lord Lyons and himself, ending with the announcement of the surrender of Mason and Slidell. All took it with composure save Crittenden, who "blesed" and called down imprecations upon Wilken's head for subjecting us to shame and humiliation. Preston King accepted it as an accomplished fact; others were of the same opinion. Mexican Affairs.

ould be worth while to try the experiment.--If Lincoln had appointed a Secretary of State who was a gentleman, this civil war would not now be raging in America. Seward began his career by pandering to anti-Masonry, and wound up with Abolitionism, showing himself from first to last a cunning and unprincipled demagogue, capable of is highly important that he should not be a black-guard. We therefore recommend the North to offer a large reward for the discovery of a gentleman to succeed Wm. H. Seward in his present office. Time was when it would not have been difficult for them to find a proper person. In the old days before universal suffrage had demd every attribute of a gentleman, and who consequently would have cut off their right hands before being guilty of falsehood, or sacrificing the national honor as Seward has done in the surrender of the Southern Commissioners upon compulsion. But a man who has no sense of personal honor can have no sense of national honor. He is
