Friday, Oct. 11th. The party of passengers who were starting on this very unusual and somewhat hazardous trip, consisted of the following persons: Hon. J. M. Mason, of Virginia; Mr. MacFarlane, Secretary to Mr. Mason; Hon. John Slidell of Louisiana, Mrs. Slidell, Miss Mathilde Slidell, Miss Rosine Slidell; Mr. Eustis, (Secretary to Mr. Slidell,) Mrs. Eustis, who is a daughter of Mr. Corcoran, the Washington banker, now in Fort Lafayette; Col. Le Mat, of Louisiana, the inventor of the grapLouisiana, the inventor of the grape-shot revolver, and two or three other gentlemen, whom it will be best, for the present, not to name. The night was pitch dark, and about midnight a light rain began falling, which rendered the chances of being detected by the blockaders exceedingly slim. At one o'clock on Saturday morning, the hasty good-byes, and God-speed-you's having been said, the cables of the Theodora were loosened, and she glided down the harbor on her important mission.

The Theodora left Nassau and steamed away towards Cuba. On the 16th inst. she arrived at Cardenas, where the Commissioners landed. The news that a Southern steamer had arrived with Messrs.

But when on the 17th inst., the Theodora came up the harbor of Havana, displayed the Confederate flag, the quays were immediately thronged with thousands of wondering spectators, and a most cordial and enthusiastic reception was given to the adventurous little craft. The Yankees in Havana were, as a matter of course, much disgruntled at the welcome given the Theodora.

lided down the harbor on her important mission. As the steamer passed Fort Sumter, every light on board was extinguished, and away she went, right through the fingers of the blockaders, far out at sea. On the evening of the 11th she reached Nassau in safety, where, had the opportunity been a favorable one, the Commissioners would have disembarked; but, on enquiring, they ascertained that the English steamer connecting with that point touched at New York. However gratifying a sight of New York might have been under other circumstances, the Commissioners determined in this instance to forego the pleasure.

The steamship Columbia, which was formerly a Charleston vessel, but now in the armed service of the Yankees, was, at the time, in the harbor of Havana.

So the Theodora left the friendly port of Havana unmolested, and with a freight of coffee, sugar, saltpetre, sulphur, acids, lead, iron, shot, block tin, etc., ran quietly in — we won't say where — bringing a number of Charlestonians, who had reached Havana from Southampton about the same time the Theodora ma- her appearance.

The Departure of Messrs.

Mason and Slidell.--We have hitherto made allusion to their movements; but, the causes which induced our reticence being removed, we may now, without indiscretion, narrate the facts of their embarkation. The Commissioners having resolved to make the venture of running the blockade of Charleston, after mature deliberation selected the staunch and swift little steamer Theodora, which was, therefore, got ready for sea with all dispatch. The preparations having been completed, they embarked a little before midnight, on Friday, Oct. 11th.
