he Southern, the acknowledgment of the independence of the Southern Confederacy, a plentiful supply of cotton from the South for England, plentiful quantities of all things needful for the South from European ports, a still more terrible and effective blow at the commerce and manufactures of the Northern cities, the rapid growth of the cities of the South, and not improbably a speedy termination of the war forced upon the South by the abolition fanatics of the North. Some persons here think Seward will soon turn up crazy, and that Lincoln, the elegant gentleman who so ably presides over the attractive menagerie, will be devoured by some of the wild beasts around him. The remarkably bright, dry and healthful weather continues. Indeed we have almost a drought in winter. The cisterns are nearly empty, the roads are dusty, and the swamps and low-grounds are getting as dry as in summer time. It is not improbable that we shall have a change before Christmas, and that there will be e

War a Fixed fact ? --Speculation is very active as to what is to be the final upshot of the Trent affair. There can be little doubt that the British Government has made a demand upon Seward which he cannot and dare not comply with. If the announcement of the London Observer, a ministerial organ, be true, the demand of the British ministry is extreme and peremptory. It is, that immediate restitution of the captured Ambassadors be made, and an apology offered for the outrage. No time is allowed for explanation, or none for excuse. The persons of the prisoners are to be put again under the protection of the British flag, accompanied by proper ceremonials and apology, or Lord Lyone is to demand his passports. If half of this be true, compliance is impossible. The Yankee Government have adopted the act of Wilkes irrevocably. Their House of Representatives have passed a resolution of approbation and thanks. Their Secretary of Navy has not only approved the conduct of his

Privateers. --In the event of war between the United States and England, what will become of Seward's doctrine that privateers are pirates? We predict that the first act of the hypocritical scoundrel will be to issue letters of marque and reprisal, and the Yankee privateers will be fitted out at once for sea. But the British blockading squadrons will block that game effectually, and not leave a door on the Atlantic from whence the rascals can get out or in.

interview with the President, Secretary of State, and Gen. McClellan, and that the result is such as to justify the expectation that their wish will be gratified at an early day. There are difficulties of a serious character still in the way, but it is thought they can be overcome without making any concessions to the rebels. One of these difficulties is, that the rebels insist upon being addressed as the "Government of the Confederate States," and that in the necessary official papers to be exchanged. Jeff. Davis shall be styled "President." Mr. Seward, while determined that the rebels shall not be gratified in this particular, is ready to offer them informally such an exchange as will probably move them to abandon the conditions upon which they are understood to insist. The necessary steps to this end have already been taken, and should they result in the Colonel's release, there will be great joy in every honest Irish heart, not only in New York, but all over the loyal States.

ing of our duties is to finish the rebellion and the blockade at once, by employing the promptest and most efficient means. President Lincoln wisely forebore any allusion to the arrest in his message to Congress. The Government is, as yet, uncommitted with reference to it. Lord Lyons will probably in his first communication merely recite the facts, and make a demand for suitable reparation. Our Government will have first committed itself to the position it intends to take in Secretary Seward's reply, which will, no doubt, be well weighed and couched in guarded language. The result will very likely be a long diplomatic correspondence, by which the English Government may seek to keep the question open with a view to peace or war, according as its interests may seem to dictate in the future progress of our civil war. The Philadelpaia Inquirer says: Notwithstanding all this bluster of the newspapers, we do not believe there is any more purpose on the part of the Eng

ays, after which he was transferred to Fort Lafayette, and then to Fort Warren. Thus his fellow-citizens would perceive that he had some experience in prison life, and an opportunity of studying fortifications. But he was not yet a free man. It devolved upon the Confederate Government to say whether he should be, or not, [Voices — You shall be] Whether he should be compelled to go back to imprisonment or whether he should go free, and dedicate himself to the cause of liberty — or, as Mr. Seward expressed to the cause of "treason." He had pledged his life to the cause of the South, and was now here to seek an opportunity for its fulfilment. Mr. Faulkner then indicated his purpose to retire, and thanking his fellow-citizens for this unexpected manifestation of their friendship and sympathy, was about bidding them "good night," but this met with a most decided opposition. "Tell us some news!" shouted many of the sovereigns in his immediate vicinity. "Tell us some news from En
