London, August 30. Very littlo of general interest huw üccured during tbe pttat week, and I sluill embrace the opportunity of giving you a gossiping letter. Unable to effect any oí his proposed measurea with Parliament, or with the goveiTiroent direct, Mr. Masón, tha Southern Commissioner, has Bturted 00 a tour through the kingjorn, with the evident hope of makipg capital on whieh to trade at the next session, f not beforo. His first appearance in bis new character has been at Glasgow, where, as a private letter informa me, he was, on Tuesday last, the guost oí' a distinguished citizen, and met a cornpany invited especially to do him honor. The Lord Provost and ene of the mem'jers of Parliament stood aloof, irorn motives of policv, but Ihu latter lilVited him to dinner the next duy. A meet. ing of the cburiiber of omnieroe was ulso callad, as one of the results of tho occasion, with the avowed purpose of poti.ifming the ffaveroüiiint to recoi;nize the Southern Conlederacy. I learn that Air. Maeon'n reception wiib the most fiattering oharaeter, and that he has so' far as Glasgow is concerned, produoed an inprossion very favorable to his cause, ihuw aa.iim, pliihing hid miesion. I learn, also, that tho very pnrties who are now mopt activo in this movement are tho vory ones who headed ihe deputation to Mr. Haniet Btjecber Stowe, and (tlifl lioDized Frod. ]?oug-la., when tho?e persjpages feppeotivtttly visited G!trow.
