The writer believes himself able to state that negotiations have been entered into to obtain the adhesion of England.

General Lee'e army is concentrated near Cul- pepper. General Buford's cavalry crossed the Rappahan nock on Saturd►y and proceeded towards Culpepper near which place they encountered a large force of Confederate infantry with artillery. A Senn light ensued, General Buford being compelled to with- draw to Brandy Station. The expedition from Vicksburg has arrived at Port Hudson. General Grant is said to command in person. The Northern journals state that the Raleigh (North Carolina) Standard denounces President Davis's government, and urges North Carolina to send a delegation to Washington, to see what terms can be obtained, without waiting for Davis. The Richmond Inquirer urges President Davis to suppress the Standard, and to wipe out the North Carolina Supreme Court. It is stated that 100,000 negro troops will be organised to defend the navigation of the Missis sippi. The ground given for the condemnation of the Peterhoff was that " she was laden with contraband of war with the knowledge of the owners. She was not truly destined to Matamoras for the purposes of commerce within the authority and intendment of public law, but to some other place both in aid and for the use of the enemy, and in violation of the law of nations. The ship's papers were simu lated and false as to her real destination." The schooner Stephen Hart and the barque Sally Magree have been condemned. The brig Isabella Thompson and her cargo have been restored to the owners without damages or costa, and with permission to the libellants to furnish further proof. The schooner Glen and her cargo have been restored to the owners with coats and damages. NEW YORK, Aucuer 4, EVENING.

The Confederates have sent quantities of stores to Fredericksburg. The Washington Star says :—" It is generally believed that the bulk of Meade's army has crossed, the Rappahannock at Kelly's Ford, forcing General Lee either to retreat beyond the Rapidan or to risk a general engagement, the former being most probable." Advices from Charleston are to the 2nd instant. At that date the situation was unchanged. The Confederate infantry had made a sortie from Fort Wagner, but were repulsed with considerable loss. Heavy Federal reinforcements were arriving. The Federal steamer Ironsides has sunk a vesse l endeavouring to run out of Charleston. It is sup posed that her crew and a cargo of cotton are lost.

War is not desirable with England, but war is not the highest of evils. A spirited nation cannot submit to injustice, insolence, and outrage through a series of years, and make uo effort to avenge its wrongs.

She also took out 50 lads from the Fiagard, for service on board the Impreg nable training-ship. THE LATE LORD CLYDE. The Western Daily Press, after giving a sketch of the life of the late Lord Clyde, says :—" The reference to his lordship's position in the Crimean war is the only point on which an erroneous impressioa prevails. Whatever may have been the.public desire that he should have been put in command, his own view of the matter was characteristically modest sod simple. In a letter of his, dated November 27 1855, written to the proprietor of this journal, he Jaya :—' I maitre you you are quite mistaken in supposing I have any ground of complaint—l have none whatever.' Instead of seeking or coveting rank or station, we know, from his own lips, that he shrunk from them with something like morbid feeling. The peerage, be come told the writer, be would gladly have declined, if he could have done so with out offence to the Sovereign by whom it was conferred. It was the same with the field marshal's baton which be so lately received—be valued it, not because of fame, still less because of emolument, but simply as an acknowledg ment of duties he bad performed. No man was more scrupulously just—almost severely just—in the discharge of those duties. It could never be said of him that he employed bit deservedly great influence at the Hors Guards in behalf of any protege or friend. Being without relations who needed help, and having achieved his noble position b 7 his own unaided efforts, he could afford to be ' thoroughly independent io every department of the public service. In his very last employment at the War Office— the disposal of the Indian prize-money—he could not brook the delays of lawyers and precedents, but wrote at ones to Lord Palmerston ; and bed the satisfaction of an answer which enabled him to carry out his own views promptly sod thoroughly. Although it may be supposed Lord ('lyde's health suffered from his last campaign in India) he seemed himself max.eacious of it., even when be returned home in the autumn of 1860. He took the precaution, however, of going to Vichy for the winter, and afterwards appeared as active and animated as ever. Instead of setting up a great establishment he. contented himself, until a few mouths ego, with bachelor's quarters at the Albany, in Piccadilly, and met his friends regularly at the United Service Club, where he daily resorted on his way to and from the Horse Guards. Lately he occupied a mansion in Berkeley.square, and it was a favourite excursion of his lordship to run down to Chatham, to visit his old friend and companion in arms, Major-General Eyre. It was upon one of those visits that the gallant veteran succumbed to death. In June lie bed an illness which showed signs of atrophy, or gradaahlecay ; but he rallied, contrary to expectation, and was well enough until about a month ago, when weakness again set in, sod he sank gradually, expiring in General kyre's house on Satur day afternoon. The writer called upon his lordship, at Chatham, on Friday morning, and found him somewhat better, in fact there were signs of recovery, for he bad passed a good night, and General Eyre hae gone for the day to Gravesend, on government business. It seems, how ever, to have been but a temporary rally, for the same night brought us the above telegram of his death. It must have been sudden, although the medical attendants bad foretold it as inevitable. His lordship was in his 71st y ear, but looked scarcely so old, being very active, cheerful - . and energetic. He had a noble premix*, and his eye especially was quick and piercing ; his manners were those of an ac complished soldier, who had seen much of life, end who could adept himself to various circumstances. Under a somewhat austere expression of countenance there was much warmth and geniality of heart and affection. An only sister (Miss Campbell) is the sole surviving member of his family ; but there are two, if pot three, cousins bearing his father's name of Macliver."

The Channel Fleet, which was sum of! the Mail Head of Dear ness at eight o'clock on Wednesday morning, arrived and anchored in the bay between two and three o'clock in the I afternoon. The fleet sailed in two divisions until they reached the entrance of the String—the sound separating the mainland of Orkney from the Island of Shapinshay. Aloes the String the vessels sailed in single line, with mils furled, and using very little steam. as the strong tide carried them briskly coward. Their progress wee eagerly watched by large numbers of people who bad gone out from Kirk. wall, and the meets being comparatively close to the shore, presented • superb spectacle as they passed in ono canoe, the Black Prince and Warrior being specially ad mired.

Sia,—The dimensions of the programme of the York August Meeting will betray the quantity of sport that may be anticipated on Tumidity, Wednesday, and Thursday, twelve, eleven, and ten ram tier diem respectively being something unusual, except at the " hay and core " meetiop at Newmarket, in the autumn • and even here we have not such an immense majority of im p ortant events se at York, where attest • dozen of the twentv-five already completed willow" in this category—the Yorkshire Oaks, Three Year Old Bieonial, Chesterfield Handicap, and Convivial Stakes, on Tuesday —the Two Year Old Biennial, Lilly Sapling Stakes, nee Handicap, and Prance of Wales's Stakes, on Wednes day, with the Great Yorkshire Stakes York Cap, Gimcrack Stake, , sod Nursery, on Thurs day, promising such niteresting encounters, that the tameness of the Burgundy, Juvenile, Branham Park, Bleck Duck, 100 cove. Sweep, Glanow and Knaveamire Stakes will be quits a relief. The Chesterfield Handicap, one mile, won so easily by the Ace of Clubs last year, is out out of his compass now, even with 321 b additional weight, and unless the stable precincts a better ally in Old Orange Girl or Newcho_rela, it will not astonish me to see him victorious again, Lord Stamford being the most dangerous gamy to the stable. The Yorkshire Oaks, for 3.yr-old fillies, one mile and a quarter, has three of the best fillies of this year engaged, viz :—Queen Bertha (9st Mb), Marigold (Bst 131 b). and Lady Augusta (9st), and despite their giving weight to any thing else, it is hard to believe either Villafraeca, Airedale, er Mime Armstrong (Bst 10th each) are goad enough to bawl over the beat of them, or even Sonveraine Sauterelle, or Bonny Bell (Bst Mb each). Marigold a nd Lady Augusta are admirably suited to the die. , twice, and one of the pair should be heralded the winos'. ' badly as Lord Lord Satmford's filly cut up in the Oaks. The Biennial for three-year-olds, two miles, is not so much to the liking of Marigold Viet 51b), as over this course a lot i like Early Purl ( Sit I Mb ), Old Orange Girl (Set sth), Tro pliant (dot 51b), Trumps Yeager 10th), Cheerful (Bst 101 b), &amender (fist 10th ), the Yeager (Bet 13lb), Bloodio (Bst I 101 b), Newmarket (Bet 101 h), and King of Utopia (Set 106), should comprise something good enough to neat her. Lord Stamford's two St. Leger nap, Avenger and Oneasoder (Bst 13Ib each) are talked of as certain absentees, strange to say ; and I am not certain we shall see either Scarnander or the Ranger at the poet, bat if the latter doer not show at York it will look bed for his St. Ledger backers, as his three eupgements, did be win, would turn in between thirteen and fourteen hundred pound', and no horse fit to ran should decline such a chance. He looks quite capable of winning here ; and only in his absence should 1 look for the triumph of &amender or Marigold. The Convivial Stakes, for terceyear olds, T.Y.C. (5 Neap 44 yards). in the only important engagement for Paris (Bst 1116) to meet this year, and as the best of his opponents in public form are Lady Hylda (Bst 1016), Durham (fist 111 b), and King George (WO, the rumour that be will not be among the runners is something to feel surprised at, es pecially when Blair Athol, Halifax, and Seraph—the only bones in the "dark" list backed for the Derby--are to re main at home. Durham is the next beat to Paris, having the beet of the weights with the remaining couple above named. Giving the Burgundy Stakes to Harlequin, the Bramhan Park Sake' to Borealis, and the 100 move. Sweep stakes to Citadel, and decline ell interferon:* with the Black Duck Stakes and Juvenile Stakes, in which only "dark " two-year-olds. are engaged, I pas oa to the second dar's list, the Ebor Handicap, two miles, standing first for discussion. Of the twenty engaged, Caller Ou, Oldminster, Magnum Bono= Bellmae, Merry Maid, and the Wasp ;aiding have all pin -formed since the publication of the weights, Oldminster and Magnum Bosom being penalised 1416, which will give them no chance apinst Hell man, who ran Caller On to a head at even wsighte at Lewes, and appears a real good thing now at 7st 10Ib, Carisbroolc, who has to give him 4lb sod the year, looking " well in " himself. The Monk, 6 yrs, Gat 1316, and Picador, 4 yrs, fist 101 b, are also very formidable looking and the quartet ought to produce the winner, seeing how " fithy"Makeshift, Clarior, sod Golden Pledge an in the market for I do not believe in Melrose yet. The Monk and Picador are =- titled to most coosidemtioe, perhaps ; and in standing on the two, 1 must lean to the Yorkshire nobleman's horse, who is sure to be "wanted." Of the five two-year-old events, the Prince of Wales's Stakes is one of the mat popular, and it is likely on this condos to bring to light something good enough to beat King George, Crisis, and Garotter, respectably s they have all performed, the Physalis colt and Harkforwaril having good reputations, an has also Souchamp, who did not, however, meet his en gagement at Goodwood. The Eighth Biennial and the Filly Stakes both have Linda engaged, and she will be hard to beat for one or both of them, Crytbeia, Prince Arthur, and Itigolboche being her most awkward opponents in the first named event. Lord Stamford should wig the Rowcdiffe, Mr. Savile the Ebor St. Leger, and Newmarket the Hopeful ; but the Glasgow is at present out of my latitude. On Thurs day we have the Great Yorkshire Stakes, for three-year olds, one mile sod three-quarters; but previous running will my a great deal concerning it, and it may leave only one or two worthy to compete with the Rapid Rhone, whose third position in the Derby entitle, him to most respect The York Cup, two miles, Lord Glasgow also looks threateoiog for with Clarriaimus, who has 71b. the best of the weights with Macaroni ; sod his lordship is just as fortuoate in haying Beauvais in the Kusvesmire Stakes for three-year-olds, one nails. The Gimcrack, Colt Sapling, Nursery, sod Aake Produce Stakes, are all de pendent on the results of the previous two year-old race of the mating.-1 am, dc., VOLUNTEER. YORK AUGUST MEETING. TUESDAY.

NOVEL SCENE IN THE TYNE.--SHIELDN, SATUR DAY NIGHT.—A novel scene, such am never was probably observed on a commercial river before, was winnowed by • large concourse of people on the Tyoe this eveniog. At four o'dock MOWS. Palmer Brothers launched from their building yards at Jarrow and Howden four large iron steam ships at the same instant of time. Upon the discharge of a cannon, all being ready, they glided into ,the river simul taneously, and without the learnt accident occurring. The vessels thus launched are the Latona, • large steamship, to trade between London and Italy ; the John kflotyre, screw collier of large tonnage, for Messrs. Corr, of London ; the No. I. • steamship, for a Rotterdam firm; and the Europa, for an Italian company, to carry passenger. between Genoa sod Sardinia. Their aggregate tonnage is 4,300 ; and besides these Messrs. Palmer have 16,000 tons of iron ship ping on the stocks. Tug BOAT ACCIDENT IN THE FIRTH or FoxTIL— The three young men who left Grantor. in • pleasure-yacht on Monday night to proceed to Joppa have not yet been hoard of ; and there DOW remains no doubt that the surmise l of their having been drowned is correct. The following facts, additional to what we have already published, are all that have yet transpired in regard to the melancholy affair. The names of the three young men who were in the boat were Alexander Robinson, aged thirty-one, principal assis tant to th e Equitable Loon Company ; J ohn Allan. egad eighteen, oldest appreutiee to the same company ; and Toomas Fall Edge, aged thirty, who supported himself by his private means. It appears that Edge and Robertson had taken lodgings at Joppa for a mouth, and that they had hired a small y echt and boat from Mr. Liston, Granton, which they intended to keep anchored at Joppa for the purpose of fishing from some hours every morning previous to coming up to Edinburgh to their daily employment On Monday night Edge and Robertson invited Allan to sail with them round to Joppa, and the party left (fronton harbour about ten o'clock. When they set out the weather was wet, but there was little wind, and, the sea being quite calm, no danger was apprehended. On Tuesday morning. between live and six o clock, two men who were engaged breaking stones on the shore at Fisherrow observed • boat about a mile off beating in for the har bour. Whilst they were reganling it • sudden gust of wind from the south-west caught the mils, and the yacht almost immediately tilled and went down, carry leg with her the three young men, whom the stonebreakers had observed. Whim the yacht disappeared beneath the waves the men on shore saw nothing on the surface of the water but • small boat which had been attached to the one that had the young men on board. In the course of the morning the email boat drifted ashore mud was subsequently recog nised by Mr. Liston as thu boat that left Gmriton harbour with the yacht ; so that there remains no doubt that the young men have all met • watery grove. Mr. George Monro, S.S.C., in conjunction with the Equitable Loan Company, offered M. to any Newhaven fishermen who would recover the bodies ; hut the men refused to put to em unlees they were guaranteed so much for their labour in the event of the search proving unsuccessful, aml the Equitable Loan Company withdrew their offer. The intention of attempt ing to raise the bodies will sot bowtver be abandoned. We understand that the parents of the young men, the manager of the Loan Company, and a few friends are organisiog • subscription with the view of adopting measures to have this design carried out —Srobinian.
