Secession in England. Slowly, but surely, the English press is opening its eyes to the truth. The London Times criticizes Seward's late speech in the Senate as meaning nothing. The Money Market Review closes a long article on "The Prospects of American Trade" with the following paragraph, some errors in which will readily occur to the intelligent reader, but which we quote as a significant indication of the manner in which the London press is gradually preparing the public mind for a fraternal embrace of the new Confederacy: "So long as the present Union is maintained the Southern States must remain in dependence on the North, producing nothing but what they produce at present, and receiving from the North at second-hand everything that they consume.

They have been assured by such men as Etheridge, that the border States want merely a pretext for staying in, and they think the calling of a National Convention will be pretext enough. It is rumored that Seward has resigned his place in Lincoln's Cabinet, but the rumor kicks confirmation. He is certainly disgusted at Lincoln's speeches. A letter has been received here from a gentleman who has been traveling with Lincoln. The writer says that so far from Lincoln's being a nose of wax in anybody's hands, (as was asserted to me some days ago,) he is a second edition of John Brown — just as fanatical and estimate. It is idle to hope that he will not be as good as his word in the matter of coerc
