TILE recent telegrams respecting the movements of the rival armies on the Tennessee River have been more confused and unreliable than usual. It was reported, for example, by the last mail that the Confederates had seized Knoxville, and forced General BURNSIDE to retire on Cumberland Gap. Now we are told that BURNSIDE has not only firm possession of Knoxville, but that he holds • considerable range of country south and east of that place ; that he possesses all the passes into North Carolina ; and that his right wing is in communication with RoszcxaNs. The previous, report about the taking of Knoxville and the re tirement of BURNSIDE was, as we pointed out at the time, so improbable, so opposed to the known facts of the campaign, as to be scarcely entitled even to temporary belief. But some of the rumours brought by the mail just arrived are far more difficult to understand, and entitled, there fore, to even less credit than the Knoxville story. We are told, for instance, that the Confederates bad attacked Shelbyville, and captured 16,000 pi'sln. era. But the improbabilities involved in Ws statement are so numerous and so serious that it is impossible to accept it as authentic in the pre sent state of our knowledge. Not to mention graver difficulties, Shelbyville is a mere outpost, thirty miles from RORECRANS' main line of commu nication, and more than seventy miles in his rear, and it is not very likely that a force so large would be stationed at • post so far from the main Fee. A more serious difficulty, however, at'fies from the fact that the capture of 15,000 men would involve the presence of a Confederate army at Shelbyville, and as the roads for a considerable distance west of Chattanooga are held by the Federals it is difficult to understand by what route a Confederate army could have reached Shelbyville, and still more diffi cult to believe it could have advanced so far with out having struck a decisive blow at some more vital point of the Federal line. The rumour, even in its exaggerated form, may, however, be accepted as reflecting what is no doubt the fact—that the Confederates are actively ope rating on ROBECRANS' long line of communication. According to the last mail, a good deal of skirmish ing was going on in his rear, and bodies of Con federate cavalry were moving towards various points of the Federal line. This, of course, was to be ex pected. Raiwarirs'line of ccmmunication is fromits length peouliarlyexposed toattack, and Biuoo'strae policy obviously is to cut off the Peden' general's supports, by detaching as large a force as possible to act in his rear. The attacks on Shelbyrige and Macminiville, which appear to have been made almost at the same time, indicate no doubt that en attempt was made in this direction, but from all we know up to the present date it may be assumed with tolerable certainty that these were simply cavalry attack', which, however successful for the moment, can have no permanent effect- on the Federal line. These rapid cavalry raids may no doubt harass the Federal communications by breaking up the rails, destroying bridges, and cap turing small bodies of troops; but unless a Confederate army can be thrown upon the line, Rosecaaast communications with his base will be easily kept open, and may be pronounced perfectly safe. There can be little doubt, however, that with such a powerful force in his front he will soon have to fight another battle, and for this all the recent news seems to show he is actively pre paring. The latest item of news, brought by the China from Cape Race, and dated on the morning of the 10th, states that General Rosaczaxa, having been heavily reinforced, would speedily resume the offensive. And if the intelligence as to the strength of BC/MULE'S position, and the juncture of his right wing with Rosacasass' left, is correct, thole seems no reason why he should not be prepared to do this with effect. Most probably, indeed, the rival armies have before this again en countered each other and fought a battle that wall be the decisive one of the Tennessee campaign. But it is useless with our present knowledge to speculate on the result. We have as yet no suffi cient materials for estimating even the chances of success on either side ; and the singularly confused and unreliable telegrams just received afford us very little help. We most still await the more decisive news of the next mails. Tax phenomena of the money market have seldom been more complex than they are this autumn. We see a high rate of discount firmly maintained on the morrow of an abundant harvest the bullion reserve of the Bank failing in the face of importations of gold larger than the exports, and money abundant with bankers and brokers, while the action of the Bank is closely watched for some omen of a coming season of trisl. This abnormal state of things has hitherto been partially accounted for by periodical causes which have usually ceased to operate by the third week of October. The quarterly dividends have just been paid, and the greater portion of the money--about two. third♦—must be in the hands of the bankers of the fundholders. The release of this money, however, has been accompanied with no appreciable effect on the market ; the con tinued decline of the bullion and reserve of the Bank, as shown in the last return, neutralising its effect. The discussion as to the causes of this mysterious drain of coin and bullion continues ; but the public wants facts and certainty, whereas nothing but conjecture and probability has hitherto been furnished, the result is not satisfactory. India, Egypt, and the new banks are mentioned at random as having caused the scarcity. Egypt and the East, however, have taken 1111111111, THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBE4 19, 1863. much silver and little gold from us, 1 while banks avoid absorbing gold as they avoid loss and ruin. When foreign banks or new enterprises abroad are assigned as the cause of the scarcity, it is forgotten that the very fact tube accounted for is a diminution of the amount held by the Bank while the imports exceed the ex ports. It is evident that the drain is an internal one ; or at least that, if any portion of the gold has been taken abroad, it has been so in • way which escapes observation. It is idle to dogmatize where so much is uncertain. We can only repeat the opinion of persons who, from their position and opportunities, have the means and are also in the habit of observing the ebbe and tides of the currency. Some of the most eminent of our bankers believe that the true explanation of the diminution of gold at the Bark is that which was given three weeks ago, and which has been rejected in some quarters as too simple. Transfers of capital are for the most part effected in this country by bills and cheques, but income and expenditure, and especially the income and expenditure of the doss which lives by wages, are received and disbursed in the metallic currency. 'Whatever in creases them, therefore, increases the circulation of gold and silver. It is well established that, owing to the abundant harvest, payments of wages in the agricultural districts of England have been greater than in any previous season ; and it is believed that the coin thus carried into circula tion will be yet some weeks in returning to its central source. The considerable dispersion of sovereigns by autumn tourists will only have due influence allowed to it by those who have reflected on the vast development of pleasure travelling dut:ng the last few years. The amount of this has beer ; like the harvest, unprecedented. The coin thus distributed at home must soon come back, but that carried abroad will take a longer time, and its amount must be large. English sovereigns are now as well known at foreign hotels and railway stations as napoleon., and are carried abroad in large num bers as companions of the circular note. A more effective cause of the absorption of gold, however, is to be found in the increasing requiretnenta of reviving trade and industry. The incomes of the largo.. class in the community are augmented, more wages are paid, and more commodities have to be circu lated. The healthy character of this trade forms the most satisfactory feature of our present situation. We have known long periods during which the Board of Trade Returns seemed to tell of nothing but prosperity, of enormous exports, and importations to correspond ; while the fact was, we were selling to the foreigner at a loss, and consuming his commodities without stint, at the ultimate expense of our own capital. No one, however, now doubts of the soundness of our increasing trade. In view of this solid fact we may look with diminished concern on the movements of bullion, while, in accordance with natural laws, it adjusts itself, like other merchandise, to the re quirements of the circulation or the market. _ _ _ In the Stock and Share market tic% week foreign securities have chiefly r =mended atten tion. Anober heavy foreign settlement has been got over, to the wonderment of most observers, without any further proclaimed disaster than the losses of small speculators in Greek stocks on the cioeng of their accounts. Very high rates of continuation have spin t oen paid. It would be well lf we could repot. any considerable abatement of the gambling which has so long been going on in this and other non-dividend paying Me :ka, but it is evident we shall yet see it bring more speculators to sorrow. How far it is wlm of our new joint 'belt banks to support speculation in these stocks by loans, and then on the occur rence of discredit or financial pressure sud denly demand repayment, is a subject which, judging from what is now tak'ng place, will one day have to be seriously discussed. Severe com petition for business is one of the natmni conse quences of the creation of new banks, and, on the whole, it works well for the public. There can be no doubt that to it, more than to anything else, we owe the extension to new aliases of society of the practice of keeping • banker, and el the convenience and economy of capital which it involves. The practice referred to, however, a s one calculated to lead to seilous evil, not only to unskilful or unlucky speculators, but to shareholders themselves. Securities which mecum nothing, sad the value of which stands orgy in hopes and conjectures, will never be accepted es the basis of loans by any bark-manager 'otent as doing justice to his constituents. The supply of new projec:a continues, and more, it is understood, are in preparation. As long as the facile disposition of the public encourages these entsepriess, they will certainly be forthcoming. It is set too early to remind them who may be templed by the high premiums obtained in some instances, that it is possible that the merits of new schemes may have to be examined be fore long, under circumstances compelling a severer scrutiny than is now bestowed on them. Of course, if their shareholders have satisfied themselves that they are sound, and have only e nbarked disposable capital in then-, they will be able to look with composure on the vicissi tudes of the market rho-A who may be contem plating temporary investments for profit will no doubt consider it prudent to look not only at the state of the English market, and the extent to which English capital is engaged to new under takings, but will take France into the account. The value of money in different countries is equalised by the diffusion of general securities which are dealt in elks on oar Stock Exchange and on foreign bourses, and a pressure felt in Paris is transferred hither by the simple operation of sales of shares sent to London for that pur pose. As far, therefore, as the capital of this country and the value of money are concerned, it makes little difference whether new rndertakinp are brought out hue or in France.

A man surrounded with combustibles (observes the Mats of to-day) is constantly on his guard. This is the case of Austria ; not only is she affected by the events in Poland ; she is distrustful of Italy, of the Nationalverein, of the Serbs, the Bosnians, the Turks, and even of the Greeks. Although the latter have so much work before them, in reconstituting their finances, re-establish ing discipline in the army, founding a dynasty, and attempting to save what remains of civil and poli tical liberty after twelve months' uncertainty and confusion, —the Austrian journals are writing against the complete annexation of the lonian Islands to the Greek kingdom, as involving a danger to Austria. If the fortifications of Corfu pass into the hands of the Greeks, aa those of Ancona have done into the bands of the Italians, there is great danger, says the Oat Deutsche Post, for the Austrian empire. What would become of Trieste and Ragusa, if ever Corfu and Ancona joined hands t Consequently, the Vienna journal demands that the citadel of Corfn be demolished. What wo want to know (says the Oat Deutsche Post) is whether, as was said at the commencement, England remain in possession of the fort4lcd works, the docks and arsenals of Corfu, or whether those objects will be pre sented to King George. No power is more interested in this part of the question than the power which is celled to protect the coast of the Adriatic, from the mouths of the Po to those of the Name* and which cannot conceal from itself the fact that Corfu is the strateg:e key of this interior sea. Eng land his created for herself a double position in the east since the expulsion of King Otbo, by procuriog a new king for the Greeks, sod by generoosly abandoning to them the lonian Wanda. By yielding to some extent to the national movement of the Greeks, England may say that she has only transferred her Lord Commissioner of Corfu to Athena, and that she has henceforward two strings to her bow in all that relates to the eastern question. She can, as hitherto, moderate from the height of the Necropolis of Athens the national desires sad tendencies of the Greco-Slaves. She can also, from this position, put herself at the head of that propaganda, oppose it to Rossi., and make use of the Greeks themselves to close against Russia the road to Cocstantinopie, when the domination of the Crescent can so longer be absolutely maintained. The situation is very different for Austria, to whom this change of dosni. nation only bespeaks new dangers. The most recent events will tell us how easily it may happen that the Italians and Greeks join hands. Will Count de Hoehberg make use of the rights motored upon him by treaties in order to render the situation a little more advantageous for Austria? The lonian Islands were not an English pommies, but Austria, England, Rusts, and Prussia proclaimed them a " free and independent state," end the Treaty of Paris of Nov. 6,1816, placed them In the immediate and excludes protection of the King of Great Britain, his heirs, and sucomeors. The importance of this act to the Mediterranean states mu recognised in mach a manner th►t, besides the eight Mgoatures of the peace of Paris. Naples and the Ottoman Porte were also asked to subscribe to it. It is, then, beyond doubt, that each of those powers his the light to impose its conditions before confirming the accessioo of these Wands to Greece. U England bee decided nothing thus far with respect to the fortifications of Corfu, except that eke will leave her ganiams there till the spring, and Austria and Turkey raise is doe time an opposition to the delivery of the fortified weeks of Corfu, England will with diffieulty refuse to keep them as a sort of Gibraltar, or to mom the diadaratios of the complete neutrality of the isle by means of a sentence of the European Amperes, like that which hrs been m iaowed in the VW at the B'•.ck S X There is even an ammaramse that Englund is only awaiting a sentence of that eatr-e, Victuals she wor'd not hermit bear the odium of it towards the Greeks. Be I that as it may, Shia cession of the lonian Isl►nds is for Austria an event which will lessen its meow of defence, and Mamie the bunko of them to a lamentable extent. Ancona in the hands of Piedmont, Corfu io possession of the Greek states—these are two facts which place the military defence of our coast in a situation infinitely more perilous than it was in before the Italian war. Let us listen to what Eng land, our "natural ally," will say when Coaat de Rec.hberg shall explain the dangers of the situation, and wi'st she will say to Piedmont, her other "natural ally," when it shall plead with eagerness for the cession of the foi .3Hr:- tams of Coda in the name of the principle of nationalities.

SECOND ASCENT WITH THE GIANT BALLOON. (FRO)( OCR OWN COI PARIS, SUNDAY Evsarnro. K Nader made his second ascent in the Giant balloon at five this afternoon. Owing to the pub licity given to his former voyage the number of visitors to the Champs de Mars was very much greater than on this day fortnight, and the heights of Trocadero were created with people as thick as swarms of bees. The arrangements were better than before. While the mere entrance to the Champs de Mars was reduced from Ur. to 50c., there was an ample area immediately around the balloon well furnished with seats, and those who were willing to pay sfr. for the acoommodation saw the proceedings with perfect comfort. M. Nader made various ingenious arrangements to confute several criticisms made upon his former &went. By way of affording a conclusive answer to the objection that the Giant was after all not so vary large, he inflated by the aide of it an ordinary balloon, such as generally makes an ascent at Parisian fetes, and this looked scarcely bigger than a tennis ball in comparison with its gigantic neigh bour. Then, to prove that the Giant was strong enough to raise in the air a much greater number than thirteen, he crammed into the car about thirty soldiers, who mounted to the extent of the rope's length, and then were pulled down again. During the progress of inflation • number of fire balloons were let off, which burst very successfully over Paris, and served to arouse the attention of the comparatively few people who were not already aware of what was going on. The weather was much the same as on the last occasion—grey and cloudy, but there was more wind. Ido not know exactly how many people accompanied K Nader on this occasion ; he said in a letter to the papers that be no longer cared about the particular figure of thirteen, and gave it to be understood that he meant to have even a larger party. Ido not know either whether a really long voyage is seriously contemplated, but, at all events, there were no legs of mutton and lobsters ostentatiously displayed this time. There may, however, be a good provision inside. I had an opportunity of inspecting the car yesterday, and found in it a kitchen and a larder and • great deal of glass and crockery. There is also very snug lying, not indeed for all the party at once, but turn and turn about. The two balloons, the big and the little one, made their ascent simultaneously, and went off in • north-westerly direction, the little one being much the highest. We must wait for news of their adventures till to-morrow morning. EARL DR GREY ON POREIGh APPAIRS.

Ore =wood, M.P., Captain Slater Smith, Colonel Cramp- toe, Captain Rhodes, and several of the neighbour ing gentry were present. The MAYOR presided, and the vice chair was occupied by Mr. latabLET, one of the aldermen of the borough.

"That position," he said, " we have unswervingly maintained, and I think if we wish to and a proof of the truth of that assertion we should die. cover it in the fact that, by thus holding ea equal Wanes 4110011 the two contending parties, we seem to have pleased neither—for, while at one time we ere told by • stateemst of the Northeast States that we have poi..tied an improper and partial coons in regard to them, scarcely do we heir these sentiments wafted across the Atlantic) before we lean that Mr. Davis has directed Mr. Mason to leave this country because be was not treated with proper considiwatioa. (Cheers.) It has been said recently by an American statesman of much influence, and ocmpying • high position in that count, 3 , , that when we ackeowledged the Southern States of America as belligerents we deviated from neutrality and inflicted an injury to the Northern States. I wide= I that I have heard that speech of Mr. Sumner with very deep regret. A geatleman occupying his position, and rearmed of the influence in his own country which Mr. Sumner wields, speaks, when he does speak upon such topics, under very grave reeponsibilities, and it is his duty to be very careful that he does rot fan the feelings of men under unusual circumataness, and create disastrous war between two friendly countries. (Applause.) I ray that in admitting the position of the South as belligerents we admitted oely that which was a fact that could not be denied ; that in a Imitt4t ed hat positfec we admitted only • feat that was &know and award by the supreme warts of *the in the ot thorn States; and I ray, fur ther, that that was the only position upon which it would have boss peadble for us to meet the Northern States sad be &wan the various quotas& that in the wane of sash a contest were eats& to arise in regard to the rights of neutrals and to the claims of Englich 'Wo os as and others interested in Engliah commerce.

The noble lord preaseded to contend that they had acted in accordant) with inteniatiocal law, and that the only course the go veremest could panne was one of strict neutrality; and be alsodefeeded the course which the government had adopted a nth respect to the Polish question.

The removal of Count de Sartiges from Turin to Rome has taken place sooner than I anticipated, when I wrote that the official steps taken by the Italian government for this purpose bad been suo oessfaL I need not repeat the explanations' which I have already given respecting this affair. An importance has been given in foreign countries to the commercial treaty between Russia and Italy which it does not deserve. For more than a year the treaty has been in preparation, at first officiously, then officially, and was one of the causes which accelerated the arrival of Count Stackelberg. The elements of a singular process are in course of preparation at Milan. The Ambrosian Library at Milan is rich in manuscripts, inch as that of Virgil written by the hand of Petrarch, and historical letters and documents of great importance. The librarian was the celebrated Mai. A learned Tuscan, Signor Canestrini, printed in the Paw reran:a, in November, 1860, a minute description of a third portion of a volume of documenta which were preserved in the library. The documents described by him had reference to the history of the republic of Florence, and were, Ist, the original document of the convention between Charles VIII. and the Florentine Republic, 1494—a document published in the first volume of the Historical .4 rehires of the Marquis G. Capponi, a descendant of Pier Capponi, who played so distinguished a part with respect to the insolence of that conqueror. 2nd. The autograph correspondence between Cosmo de Medici and Pier de Medici with Francis Sforza, Lord of Milan, consisting of 64 letters, dated between 1442 and 1464. 3rd. Fifty-four letters of the Duke of Milan to his ambassadors at Florence conveying instructions as to the mode in which affairs were to be conducted. Almost all of these are drafted by Cioco and Giovanni Simonetta by orders of the duke, dated between 1445 land 1468. A short time ago Monsignor Gatti, prefect of the' library, found ou the table of the room in which ho was studying this volume, which ought to have been on the shelf. A sort of presentiment struck him ; he asked in vain how the volume was not in its proper place ; he examined it, and found that it was per For greater precaution he put it in his own desk under lock and key. When, after dinner, he opened the desk, he found that the volume was spoiled, and the above documents were detached. It was evident that there was some domestic thief, and that be had been bought by some more experienced robber to commit the theft. Meanwhile a student, who had the misfortune of being suspected about this business, and who had a son who was more than suspected, made his appearance, and the librarian had the imprudence to make a sudden assault upon him, as though certain that he was the thief, thereby probably making the discovery more difficult. It is right that this should be made public, in order that no gentleman may become the innocent purchaser of stolen documents, for the principal thief, it seems, is more in want of money than papers. It also appears that other things of mrch value, such as mathematical rarities, have been sent to Rome, to a learned man there, who is making a collection of matters of this kind.

AN EXTRAORDINARY CLERGYMAN. Last week we gave particulars of Mr. Hen niker's conduct in refusing to read the burial service over the body of an aged parishioner ' named Adcock, and actually detaining the body in the church until, after it bed remained above ground fourteen days, it wee taken possession of by some of the parishioners, sad in. terred by the Rev. H. Ward, of Calton. Mr. Henniker, by his conduct, excited • strong feeling of indignati on , which led on Sunday lent to results we are about t o describe. A great cumber of persona assembled in and out of the church during the afternoon envies, and greeted the rev. gentleman on his arrival with shouts and hisses. The service laded about fifteen minutes, doting which several persons standing at the door shouted in the church, and we are informed several stores were thrown in also. At the conclusion of the service there was a pme crowd outside the church, waiting to give Mr. Henui a " reception," but instead of coming out the way he was expected, he came oat another way, after airbag some very harsh tannage to his clerk, calling him a fool and • liar. The crowd then followed Mr. Henniker dews a bye vied about fifty yards from the church, biasing sad shouting, s a g we are told several clods were thrown at him. Here he toads • rush at • group of persons, who all ran away, except a young man, • shoemaker, from Cheadle, whom he s t ruc k . The Rev. _B. Henniker is not only the incumbent of Caol don, but of the adjoining parish of Waterfall, both liviop being in the gift of his father, A. Henniker, Rent. He i s quite • young man. Far some time be has been io the habit of conducting the services at both churches in the most ex traordinary manner, generally dispensing with the Conies. Moo the Absolution, the Thanksgiving, the prayer for the Reis] Family, and many other prayers, and also with lim ing and preaching. Sometimes, however, a boenily or a tract has taken the place of **snoop. But the strangest thing of all is that he has been in the habit, until some months ago, of reeding the lessons from the Deasy version of the Bible, and sines he has given up this practice he bag read unauthorised tramiatioos from scraps of paper. n o service, curtailed in the way described, has geoerally been got through in Mines or twenty minutes. Thy ' course of conduct, coupled with his refusiog. early in the present year to bury a little child named B as t, who died of typhus 'fever, resulted is as inquiry b e t b e rural dean, the Rev. J. Simpson, of Alatoolleld. The lathe gentleman buried the child himself, after it had been in the church several days including Sunday, when the Mush from the corpse filled the whole church. The rehab of the inquiry was that Mr. Heneiker signed a deals:Min drawn up by Mr. Simpson, in which he promised to ma. dent the church marrier properly for the foram lie, how. ever, soon relapsed into his old way, with the earl:Moe that he did not commence 'sedum the Doug Bible, but read from scraps of paper as stated above. There can be no doubt that Mr. Henniker is liable to be pro ceeded against at ecclesiastical law both for refusing to berry and for his systematic violation of the order of serv i ce laid and in the Book of Common Prayer. As yet the only proceedings that have been taken, 6o far as we can learn, are that • summons has been ta ken out against Mr. Henniker by a young man named Joseph Richardson, for an assault alleged to have heels emomited is the church yard on Sunday week. The case is to be heard at Leek next Wednesday. The villagers call to mind mime acts on the part of Mr. Henniker which it would be speaking of lightly to all eccentric. Some months ago he refused to proceed with a funeral urtil a peram whom he chose to consider a diameter, and who was one of the funeral party, left the church. When any of kis °ankles parishioners wish to have a christening per formed he refers them to Waterfall, and rice versa. short time ago he served the pariah clerk with a notice, of which the following is • copy ' Ceuta= churchyard not to be broke without an order front Rd.
