The following following is from the New York Herald of the 13th I There are no new movements in the army of the Potomac. General XIS& has sent an official report correcting the report sent by General Lee to his government concerting t►e cavalry fight at Falling Waters some time ago. The novelty of the nanuounication, caning as it does from the comrnandiog-general of one army in reply to an official re port to his own government from the general of the opposing forme, will andeubeedly commend it to notice. The time fixed for the grand attack on Charleston by General Gilmore's forces on Morris Island wee Saturday, the Bth inst. We have news to 11 o'clock on Friday night the 7th, by the United States transport Flora, which ar rived at Fortress Monroe on Tuesday.

General Grant says that it in a striking feature, so far ea his observation goes, of the present volunteer army of the uaired States, that there is nothing which men are called upon to do, mechanical or professional, that accomplished adepts cannot be found for the duty required in almost every regiment. In closing his report he utters an ex pression of thankfulness for his good fortune in being placed in co-operstioa with an officer of the navy who accorded to every move that seemed for the interest and success of our arms his hearty and energetic support. Admiral Porter, he adds, and the efficient officers under him, have ever shown the greatest readiness in their co-operation, no matter what waa to be dace, or what risk to be taken, either by their men or their versals.

Lieutenant William Haworth, to the Hama, tor eereiee In the Harpy. ...........0, , The Patrie of this evening says Letters from St. Petersburg hardly allow us to expect that Bassi& will make any concessions. The old Mus covite party is averse to a temporising policy. General Mouravieff is the hero of the day. Public opinion pronounces energetically against every con cession, and the government would seem disposed , to yield to the influence of the masses, over-excited I by the old Muscovite party." The Patric further states that M. Drouyn de Lhuys will return to Paris to-morrow. La Prance thinks that if Russia replies to the notes now communicated, her answer will bear upon the separate memorial, appended to the French note, discussing the question relative to the treaties of 1815. The note will be published im mediately upon the return of the Emperor and IL Drouyn de Lbuys to Paris. The same paper stye it is asserted that the Fine have sent delegates to St. Petersburg demanding a constitution for Finland and a separate Finnish La France also says that letters have been sent Ito Madrid from Havannah by the principal inha bitants of Cuba, demanding that Spain should come to an agreement with France for the organisation of Mexico in a strong and durable manner.

As regards the sth article of the project, re lating to the Presidency of the Directorate, it was proposed that Austria and Prussia should preside alternately, but decided to leave those two great powers to oome to a mutual understanding. The 6th article, establishing the general prin ciples of the privileges of the Directorate and Federal Council was adopted. Baden has entered a protest, pointing out that the acceptance of the Austrian propositions as fit bases of reform, amounts to a binding engagement to interpret important points in the sense laid down by Austria. Articles 8, 13, 14, 16, and 18 were to be taken into consideration on the following day. ISANKFORT.ON-THE-111AINE. Amin 25.

THE AFFAIRS OF GREECE. A parliamentary paper containing official " cor respondence relating to the election of Prince William of Denmark as King of Greece, and to the State of the Country" has just been issued. The correspondence, which extends over nearly 'our months, from the beginning of April till towards the middle of July, gives an account of the most important public events that have happened in Greece during that pericd, as well as a number of interesting particulars relating to the condition and prospects of the kingdom. It commences with a letter from Mr. H. Elliot to Earl Russell, enclosing a collection of telegraphic despatches received by the Minister of the Interior, declaring the enthu siasm with which the election of Prince William of Denmark to the Greek throne was received in all parts of Greece. The next letters relate to the dis turbances at the Athenian circus, and the outrages committed in various parts of the city by a gang of lawless soldiers, who seem to have acted in concert, and, as it was supposed, with a political object. The representatives of the Great Powers felt it necessary to quicken the action of the government in bringing the offenders to justice, and their representations being successful, order was speedily restored, and the culprits punished. The most important series of letters have refer ence, however, to the outbreak which followed the return of the deputation from Denmark, with the formal acceptance of the crown by Prince and an autograph letter from the new King. This conflict was, however, as the documents show, a strife between domestic factions, involving no ques tion of national policy, and least of all any orga nised opposition to the new King. bre to A Clava.—ln 1865 a man named John oca was mateoesd to ten years' penal servitude for a rob. buy at Yahoo. A few weeks ago this nye received a ticket-of-leave, and returned to Yahoo.

Johnson was suspected of a meat robbery, sal was brought before the magistrates oa Saturday, but liberated. Whether be will be permitted to reside in his cave remains to be seen. The State is full of rumours of a contemplated rising of Secessionists, consequently there is an uneasy feeling in the public mind. On the 6th inst., an affray marred at Visalia, a small tows in Tillers county, betwMa the Secessionist. and the soldiers stationed there. One of the latter was killed. Several of the former were wounded : 36 shots were exchanged. Tillers and the adjcining counties in the northern part of the State contain numerous Secessionists. At Virile great excitement prevailed. Some Union citizens, who organised se a home guard, and others, pursued the parties who had fired at the soldiers. The boom of the men who shot the soldier was burned down on the night of the 7th, which exasperated both Unionists and Secensionista, cosh amusing the other of the deed. General Wright, the military commander at San Fascism, telegraphed that all the spars arms among the soldiers at Vim& be distributed among the loyal °Siam, and despatched troops of cavalry from Oweo's River to Visalia. Today ransoms are current of Secession outbreaks in Santa Clara and Salem, ' counties north and south of the bay respectively. Both counties contain • large Secession element. The reports are diecredited, but their ready circulation creates alarm. Clitoral Wright telegraphed some days ago to Wasbiog• ton for the government immediately to begin the new de fences of Sas Francisco, costing about 100,000 dole, but has received no reply. Last night the city supervisors voted the city's guarantee of repayment to any person who would advance 200,000 dote. to enable the general instantly to commence proper fortifiatio•s. As far as heard from, the Legislature of Kentucky stands se follows :—Conservatives : Senate, 31 ; home, 68 ; Copperheads, home, 2. It is stated in the Southern papers that 10,000 dole. have been nbeeribed for the benefit of the family of the late General Albert Sydney Johodon, the members of which are represented as being in great distress.

The Flora left the parties still engaged, and the miry brilliant with rebel shells. The result of the affair or the damages on either aide are unknown. ♦ Washington correspondent makes the follow ing statement : It is stated by those who profess M know much of the programme of the rebel leaders that the organisation of Degrees in the rebel armies ham been determined upon.

At the South Lancashire Assizes, yesterday, Samuel Nash, • baker sod dour dealer, who became • bank rupt at Liverpool in March last, was indicted Woes Mr. Judie Blackbura, for having freeduleutly sonoseled a por tion of hi estate with intent to diminish the amount avail able for division amongst his creditors. The bankrupt's debts at the time of his failure amounted to 613/., and ex ceeded by 5221. the value of the assets disclosed upon the face of the balance-sheet. He admitted • considerable deficiency, and when the errors in hie accounts were cor rected that deficieory was increased to 3501. It was proved that in the month of February the bankrupt was the owner, or reputed owner, of 150 =arse in • building society, that be had drawn out • sum of 1951. which was due upon those shares ; and that the money than received by him bad never been accounted for to the aswgoeae as part of his estate. When he was examined before the com missioner, be explained this omission by stating that Ow shares bad been his own property, although they were registered in his name ; that he sold them in trust for lbw Douglas, • married woman with whom he was on terms of peat intimacy, and who lived apart from her husband, end that the sum of 1961. had been headed to Mn. Douglas in doe comae. It was now contended that this mplanaties was untrue, and that the heakrupt and Mn. Douglas were in league to defraud the auditors. Mn. Douglas, however. was not called as • wit. nem upon either aide, and several other persons who had been subpconsed did not appear. It was doubtful therefore what had become of the money, but it was found that cm the sth, two months after the bankruptcy, a sum of 1001. bed been deposited with the A delphi Banking Com pany, and subsequently drawn out. The clerks of the com pany were usable to identify the prisoner ; but the deposit soles were produced, and the name and address of the de positor, "John Ward. 34, Stanhope-street," which appeared upon them, were sworn to have been written by the prisoner. It was shown that there was no such penes as John Ward, 34. Stanhope-lateen Upon these facts the charge principally rested.

Carpinglier, second master of the normal wheel of Amiens, who had jus t sniped with his wife to pass his holidays, was bathing in the sea when, although a good swimmer, while at a abort distance from the shore at a spot where the water was beyond his depth, be suddenly called out for amistance and disappeared. A hathingmaater hearing hie cries rushed into the water, bat was seized by him in such a manner as to endanger both their lives. A second swimming -master, seeing the i.eril of the two, swam to the spot sod succeeded in releasing his eonirade, but was in his turn seized by M. Carpeutier and both sank to the bottom. The first bathing-master, who had lost his consciousness, was cast oo shore by a wave, and, restoratives having been used, was brought round.

While in the act of removing some linen from the copper in the kitchen, her dress, which was distended by large steel hoops or crinoline, was thrust is the Sue, where it caught fire and instantly blazed op. Finding herself in flames she screamed and rushed upstairs, and was in the act of running into the street through the front door when Mrs. Smallbone caught hold of her and rolled her on the floor, and wrapped a large rug over her. Deceased's per son was terribly burnt, and Mrs. Smalibone had ultimately to extinguish the clothes by rubbing them between her hands. Medical aid was at once obtained, and deceased was removed to the local infirmary, where everything pos sible was done for the poor girl's relief, bat without avail, and she expired in great suffering. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death from fire." FATAL ACCIDENT TO AN OMNIBUS DRIVEL—On Mooday, about one o'clock, a very rnehtneholy skeideut oc curred on Haverstockthill, whereby John Clarke, aged 34, a driver in the employ of the London Geoend Omnibus Company, lost his life. The omnibus driven by the de ceased ran from Londoethtidge railway station to Ramp. stead, nod on this day, as it was going up Haverstock.hill, the conductor felt a jerk, and be clung tightly to his strap to support himself, sod had oo idea of what had occurred until a nutlet:aim, who was near to the plasm, called out to him sod told him that the driver bad been thrown off his box into the road. The gentleman took hold of the bones' heads and the conductor went back, when he found the driver lying in the road, with blood slightly oozing from his nose. There was no external appearance that he had been .cyual injured, but on attempting to raise his head it on one aide, and he was found to be insensible. Dr. Hafo7d, who lived only a short distaoce from the spot, was sent for, and promptly attended, but on examination of the unfortunate man he declared life to he extiott. Deceased was a very steady, wellaonducted, and respectable man, and was much esteemed in the neighbourhood. He was put in• side the omnibus sod envoy est to Hampstead, and informa tion was forwarded to Dr. Lankeeter to bold an inquest.

RAPID INCREASE 07 EMIGRATION TO AMERICA.— Owl°, to the excitement produced by the Southern rebel. lies, public attention has not been much occupied with the of foreign emigration le then shore.. Nevertheless Ite7tl a de has been and still is steadily rolling on, with vast benefit to our population. The number of emigrants arrived, and who after arrival have left this city, during the period between March I and August 1, is ti3Olt, against 42,410 for the:lame period ie the year 1862, The emigration this year, then, for the period named, is just double what it was last year. There is nothing to restrain a tide like this to the Westein World.—Nrir York Pap. r. A fife given on Monday at Badord-park, near Nottingham, the seat of Mr. North, the eollisay proprietor, was attended by • melancholy 00O1OTOOOL There were some thousands of people present, and smug the eatertain monk provided was • proposed balloon anent by Mr. Cone well, the well.knowa aeronaut. The " sew sad magnificent balloon.” as it was described in the advertisements. occupied • prominent position at the lower part of the grounds, when it bad been placed at the month of an old main, laid down some years ago on the occasion of • simile:. lite. The process of inflation had been commenced on Sunday after noon at five o'clock, and was not completed at five o'clock OR Monday. We (Nottingham Daily Guardian) have heard it staled that the fir was of • very inferior quality, defective in respect of buoyancy, and that the inflation in consequence was a matter of considerable difficulty. We baye also beard that the balloon, however magnificent in appearance it might be, was not altogether new ; that some parts of it wen old, and those parts the upper por tions, upon which the resistance of the pa would be beaviszt. Be that as it may, there was considerable hesi tation as to the ascent. Mr. Caswell absolutely declined to go up. He stated as his mama that the balloon was not sufficiently buoyant ; and that be was too heavy in weight to sawed with it. After this stakeout • member of the committee proceeded to Mr. North's residence with the in ter:non of venially. card of direction to be affiud to the balloon, which he proposed to send up empty. The cord was actually written, and cookined di:odious to any person into whose bands the balloon might come to telegraph to Mr. North, and send the balloon by railway or other avail able conveyance. This plan was adopted by Mr. Cozwell in Staffordshire, and answered the purple, sufficiently, al hough it did not give complete satisfaction to the sensation. Ws. It is not improbable that Mr. Colwell might have adopted it on this oocasion also, but that Mr. Chambers offered himself as willing to ascend. Mr. Chambers wee • light man, weighing only about 94. 31be, or • stone and • half lighter than Mr. CozwelL His father was • well-known aeronaut, slid made the first ascent from the Arboretum at the time of its opening. Mr. Cbambsrs had made no fewer than twenty-seven susses in balloons, and on some Masse or four of those 00111Oid011 be bed ascended quite atone. The desire to gratify the solution appetite of the public seems to have been uppermost. The gentleman who bad pee to write the direction cards for the seeding the helloes bask in mu it should go up without an occupant of the car had not time to return to the enclosure in which the balloon was being filled. The machine had se conded with Chambers In the ear. The fact was that the buoyancy of the pa was so much less than ordinary that Mr. Colwell stated his fear that if • shower of rain came down and reiterated the silk and tank" it would be impossible for the belloos to ascend at all. A dark mass of clouds appeared to the south-west, driving rapidly before the wind. It tram evident to the Lest skilful meteorologist that it would bring with it a heavy shower. Chambers, in whom Mr. Cozwell bad con &knee, was in the car. It was aseasary to throw oat every bag of What, save one ; even the grapnel was thrown away because of its weight ; and Chambers satisfied himself with two beams of wood for anchorage. The tutu inp were loosened, and slowly, vary slowly, but still grandly, the great air ship rose into the sky. The rain aloud had sot es yet come on, but the wind blew in fitful gusts, sufficient to Indicate to • person who had been emus tuned to weather sip' that there was something trea cherous in the air. The balloon, with ill-fated Chambers is the oar, had not been up five minutes when it entered • dark nimbus, and wee hid completely from view. After • minute or two the balloon re-appeared from beneath the under surface of the rain cloud. It seemed fo be fear fully collapsed, not flattened as • bladder from which the air is compressed, but like a crushed hat, the upper surface driven down on the car. It fell with terrible rapidity towards the earth ; and every spectator in the park feared that some dreadful Meister had occurred. During the time that this was observed • heavy rain shower was descending, the force of which few but the most eager spectators could withstand. In twenty minutes afterwards an earnest group of gentlemen interested in the fit; aseerulded on the lawn in front of Mr. North's mansiou, were accosted by a young man who had ridden over from Arnold with the intelligence that the unfortunate Chambers had fallen in that locality, and was • corps. Dr. Robertson and Mr. Maltby, who were on the ground, volunteered to pursed to Arsold end attend to the eau A carriage was obtained from Mr. North, and the medical pa- Omen drove over to Arnold immediately. After their de parture, and In the doubt in which everybody was placed, • consultation wee held among the managers of the fire as to the propriety of dismissing the multitude. It was found to be practically impossible to attempt this ; but it was, after much coosideration, decided that the bands should be directed to play no longer. It took some tine to send the order around the broad expanse of the park. But eventually the sounds of mask were no longer borne on the breeze, and • statues and • gloom settled on the vast assemblage. The joyous groups of dancers were broken up. The merry parties of old people, enjoying themselves with pipe and glees, and pleasant joke or anecdote in the tents, were suddenly changed to moralists upon the uncertainty of life and pity for the victim. Gradually the crowds cleared away, and the grounds were empty some hours earlier than was eim•cted. Our Nottingham correspoudent -ends us some a ddi tional details, from which it appears that the balloon rose steadily, and was carried somewhat rapidly in • north-easterly duet tioo towards Nottingham. It proceeded as far as Arnold Vale, when it wee seen suddenly to collapse whilst still at • considerable altitude, and then to fall quickly in an un shapely meas. Some young men who were sear the spot where the balloon fell hastened to render assistance. The balloon heaved and fell WI it descended, completely covering the car, and ultimately both dropped an a field sear Soost-lase, three miles front Nottingham. The car struck the ground and rebounded several feet, and then fell again, when it was caught bold of by the youug men and stopped. At the bottom of the car lay stretched the body of the unfortunate amateur aeronaut. Be wee lifted out, and fantod to be just breathing, but quite insensible. having his handkerchief in his mouth. He was conveyed to the nearest dwelling, arid all means adopted to restore animation, but without effect. Doctors Robertson and Maltby after wards sae him, and it was discovered that his left thigh was fractured and some of the ribs on his left side were broken, but they wondered it very probable that the us fortsoate man bad died through suffocation, as the hand kerchief which was found in his mouth bad been evidently there by himself when he found himself in danger of tier stifled by the gas (mm the collapsiug balloon.

Crofton, of the City water-works, met with • serious and alarming injury on Saturday under very novel circum stances. While reading at his table on tiaturtley evenhig lie felt something like the bite of a midge 0n the back of his hand, and on looking at it saw a small greyish fir not unlike a midge on the spot in which he felt the bite. The intruder was instantly killed, and though the irritation of the bite continued to be felt, very little notice was taken of it till next marlin, when the port bore all the appearance of active inflammation, a compsinied with deep discolora tion and much pain and throbbing. Surgeon ll'lliamass was:gconsulted, and on examining the part a series of little versicles were visible, end the subcutaneous Sane was found to be coogested and nearly purple. Active remedies were applied. local poulticing and other surgical treatment were resorted to, but yesterday the s% mptoms had au increased that it was found necessary on consultation to make several incisions into the baud and to cauterise the arm, mating • complete circle of cauterised surface round the limb. For some hours considerable anxiety was felt as to the ultimate result, and the medical attendants found it necessary to pay several visits in the course of the day. On inquiry last night we learned with much satisfaction that the alarming symptoms had considerably abated, and that the apprehensions felt as to the possible results had passed away midst the active treatment resorted to. It has been mig rated that probably the little insect bad been regaling him self on some put rid flesh befoi • he came to quaff s. me of Mr. Crofton's claret, and that on making the incision to pro cure the requisite access to the ruddy liquid, be ii oculated, and is fact poisoned the current.
