I I I No. 5,154.) LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 16, 1863. Feb. 1 twenty blockading vesaels wars off Charles ton bar. NEW YORK, Fn. 5, Entan. The Richmond papers assert that the Confe derate. Secretary of State has notified to the Bri tish 'and French consuls, that he has received offi cial information of the opening of the Charleston blockade. The Richmond Dispatch says :—" It is under stood that, official notification having been given of the opening of the blockade, it cannot be renewed by the Federal's until sixty days' previous notice has been given to the neutral governments." The same journal, however, does not think that Earl Russell will insist on any notification if the Federal's restore the blockade without notice, as Earl Russell has yielded to all claims of the Federal government on international questions. The Northern papers consider the Southern ac counts of the Charleston affair exaggerated, pre pared especially for European circulation. The New York World thinks that it is no proof, because no vessels were in eight for several hours on a very foggy day, that the blockade was raised for a illpgie instant. The New York Herald has no apprehension that the Oonfederates can establish legal grounds for what they claim. The New York Tribune says :—" If it be true _that the blockading fleet was driven off, or its ope rations disturbed for a single day, the Federal Government should at once notify to the world the resumption of the blockade." &he New York Tunes, discussing the same Rib ", considers the validity of the present blockade in no way affected. The Federal steamer, New Ironsides, was off Charleston on the 3rd inst. Omani- Foster's expedition from Beaufort is supVosed to number 70,000 men, and to be destined for an attack on Charleston. The Confederates have attacked Fort Donneleon, and have captured one battery, which was after wards retaken by the Federal.. The Confederates are reported to have been re pulsed with considerable lose. General Grant has arrivod at Vick:shun. The work on the canal progresses. The Confederates have planted a battery com manding the lower end of the canal. In the Senate, the resolutions denouncing French intervention in Mexico were laid on the table by a vote of 34 against 9. NEW YORK, Fr.B. 5, limmairr. Washington official despatches regard the en counter off Charleston as greatly exaggerated by the rebels. They declare that there has been no interruption of the blockade, and that no such assumption will be admitted by the government. A telegram to-day from Fortress Monroe mentions the reoeptiou there of news from Charleston of the 3rd Mat, when that port was thoroughly blockaded, the Federal iron-clads then lying inside the wooden vessels. The iron-clads were not with the fleet when the attack is said to have been made. The 'Federal attack upon Charleston was mo mentarily expected on the 3rd, and the official account was hourly awaited by the despatch boat when the Arabia left. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The French forces which cover Peyote were also advancing. THE POLISH INSIIRRECTIOE. LEMBERG, Fla 15. The Russian forces have withdrawn from Przes tanek. The battle near Oycow, which had been expected, has therefore not taken place. The insurgents have captured Jarnogrod. Thirty-nine out of 200 Cossacks garrisoning that place were killed. The remainder withdrew to Zamosc. The insurgents have also captured Hrubeszow, which bad been evacuated by the Russians. THORN, Fla 14.

The Pope has sent instructions to the Bishops of Galicia to exert their influence over the people of that province, with a view to causing the authority of Austria, as a Catholic power, to be respected. The pickets of the insurgents and of the Russian troops were last night in close proximity near Oicow (IMichow). A battle is expected to take place hourly. ITALIAN SYMPATHY WITH POLAND. GENOA, 711. 15. A meeting in favour of Poland took place here to-day, but was not numerously attended. No military precautionary measures were taken by the authorities. The speeches made were moderate in character. One speaker, however, having proposed that the Italians should aid the Polish insurrection by material means, the police ordered the dissolu tion of the meeting, which took place without any disturbance. The city is tranquil, NAPLES, Fla 14. A meeting in favour of Poland, which had been advertised for some time previously, was not held to-day as announced.

We have no wish to deny that the Devonpork election was an "untoward event." Mr. Ferried a.a undoubted chszopion of toryisnt, and note pleastitt owe. He is a persevering candidate, and he has won the reward of persevenumn It seems odd that Mx...Ferried, who was soundly beaten by Admiral Boynton, and Mr. Arthur Boller when Lord Derby was in office, should succeed now, when be is opposed by an wind sad existisg Lord of the Admiralty. But we believe that this was the real cause of his success. far Frederick Grey is a Lord of the Admiralty —nay, the senior naval lord. In the old time of corruption this was the most imposing position for • candidate far one of the naval porta. But it is so no longer. The present Board of Admiralty is a reforming hoard. Reforms are good. Bat they are epeoi•lly unpalatable to the several classes who profit by cceruptioe. Qertarn boroughs were mined govern ment boroughs in the olden time. It is creditable to the government that they are so no longer. 11 the timid of Admiralty will consult the interests of the country more than of the voters, they must make enemies amongst the classes that bye by corruption in these ports. If the Duke of Somerset will prefer to pay the on monthly wages instead of "paying off" a great ship in a favoured port, be mast lay it to his account to offend a large class of pub licans •rid traders accustomed to profit by the proverbial profligacy of the recently discharged man-of-war's man, who threw away his money broadcast amongst the tradesmen— and tradeswomeu—of the town. If we add to this the refusal of the government to saddle the country with a large amount of additional pry, we will find an amount of constructive discontent; of which Mr. W. B. Fenand was not slow to avail himself, and to turn his minority of 100 into a majority at 90. 'fiber& of Admiralty want to win elections,. they must not "reform overmuch." Pas de :elle was • maxim of Talleyrand, useful in more than one of the departments of the public service. (From the Spectator.) The truth is, there is u terrible want of party organise- Jim Ever auice Mr. C'oppock died everything baa gone wrong, and while the Carlton never muses its blow the Reform Club never succeeds, neglects the registration, leaves the "safe" borpughs to eldest eons—that silliest of mistakes—sod allows in.pudest " tb!rd men," as in North ampton and Devizes, to interrupt every local arrangement. Some new blood is wanted at head-quarters, unless the Tories are to walk over the noun, and compel the Whip to beat clever intrigue by enlarging the constituency. i I Ls-s' QQLL"~"?r Till DISTRESS IN LANCASHIRE. • CENTRAL RELIEF FUND. The receipts on Friday included 1,0001, from the parish of St. Marylebone (making a total of 10,0001. from that place) ; 1001. from "litchi!) 1001. from the lee battalion of the 24th Regiment ; 1001. from Loegton • SOOl. ban Ripon ; and 2301. from Mews.

Among the cootributkos of the week were 24 parcels of groceries, ac compaaied by the following couplet : "Ouy poor craytur that's clemrain', May come have a meavithful in' me. (Signed) " EDWIN Waucc." The couplet is taken horn one of the hat published volumes of Mr. Wsugh's moors, in the Lancashire dialect. and the soon in entitled. "God bless these poor folks." There was o clue to the donor of the grooerics except that afforded by the lines entitle signature, but that was thought to be dear enough, mid Mr. Waugh was ilaisediatear wetter to with a request that he would any bow he wished his gift to be distributed. The poet hastened to may that he was not the donor, though it is probable he has the metit of having impired the gift by his writings, and it may bo that the example will be fol lowed by others who wish to cootribute aeooymously. The directors of the Manchester Unity Friendly Society, at their meeting in Manchester on Friday, distributed the sum el 1,41111. 7.. amongst their distressed brethren in the cotton manufacturing districts, chiefly with the view to prevent their loss of membership through inability to per their periodical cootributioua.

THE HUNTERIAN ORATION. This oration was delivered on Saturday that in the theatre of the Boyal College of Serpens by Professor Guttniza, and was one of the most successful that has been given of late years. The chief , point of the oration was an elaborate history of the blood and its vital endowments, of great interest to the medical profession, and which was received with great ap plause. Speaking of those worthy disciples of Hunter who bad died since the last oration, ea Quekett, Stanley, Brodie, and Norman, of drab, the orator observed that Professor Quekett had explored the field of histology in its widest sense ; his inquiries extended not only through the animal and vegetable kingdoms, but also to mineral substances, and his collected specimens of intimate structure of organic nature surpassed in number and value anything of the kind before displayed in this country. After alluding to the literary productions!offthe deceased, Professor Gulliver spoke in deservedlytsevere terms of certain Germans pretending to give the literature of histological mieoce, bet carefully ex ' eluding all mention of Mr. Quekett's name, adding his surprise at this frequent practice, this sorry violation of truth, and of the just claims of Britiah enema silently acquiesced in, if not approved, adopted, and pstrosieed by our societies, translators, or commentators • but as poor Quekett more thee once emphatically remarked to the orator, be suffered the indignity In very worthy company, his temper remaining unaffected by _the plagiarism of his labours abroad, or even by the pitiful attempts of anony. mous slander at home. (Some little sensation followed this allusion to the unjust critique on the deceased. which ap peared in the Quarterly, from the pen of a supposed friend and colleague). On Mr. Norman, twice chief rusgistrato of the city of Bath, and deputy-lieutenant of the county, the orator dwelt in eloquent terms, stating that in UM Mr. Norman performed the rare operatioas of tying the external iliac artery as well as the arteria inseminate, and bad also tied the common carotid two years earlier. Mr. Staaley, the author of several valuable contributions to the advance ment of *meal science, was considered one of the best sad most siummil teachers of his time, and a great master of what be loved to all practical anatomy. Of thegreat sabots of Sir Benjamin Brodie, so recently _deceased, the militia are already informed. Professor Gulliver concluded his eloquent discourse by expressing a hope that we should never forget that we belong to the country of Harvey and Hunter, end that when we deplore the loss of suck of their followers as Brodie, Norman, Quaket4 and Bailey, we should feel that excellent consolation which n afforded by tie character of their lives, and the example they have also left to us and to our posterity, for " these were honourable men in their generations." Ae interesting circumstance occurred immediately before the orator entered. When Mr. Adams, the defendant in a recast action, resulting in a ver dict in his favour, and who is a deservedly popular member of the profession, entered, with other visitors, be received quite en ovation from the audience, and was sensibly moved at this spontaneous act of sympathy on the part of kis pro (animal brethren.

General Banks' whole expedition has left New Orleans. Its supposed destination is Port Hudson. General Foster's expedition from Beaufort has been seen off Cape Fear, en route for Port Royal. The Federals at Vicksburg number 80,000. Southern journals assert that it was the British steamer Spitfire which sunk the Federal steamer Mattered off Galveston. The Howse of Representatives has passed the bill to arm negroes by a vote of 83 to 54. The bill provides that the President may arm such numbers as he may deem necessary. No slaves of loyal owners are to be thus employed. No recruiting offices are to be opened in Delaware, Maryland,. Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, or Tennessee with out the permission of the governors of those States. The republican candidate, ex-Governor Morgan, has been elected United States senator from New York. The engagement between Generals Corcoran and Pryor near Suffolk was without important result. The Confederates retreated towards Franklin. Jefferson Davishas had an interview with the Governor of North Carolina. It is reported that the Governor insisted upon the reserve or recall of a sufficient number of troope for the protection of the State. The Southern journals publish a despatch from Charleston, stating that the Federal gunboat P. Smith, carrying 11 guns, surrendered uncondition ally to the Confederates at Stone River. The Federal Navy Department has received a despatch to the effect that the P. Smith was captured through getting ashore. Southern reports state that the Federal iron-clad steamer Montauk was badly injured in her turret by the guns of Fort WAllister, on the Ozechee River, and compelled to haul off. The Federal Navy Department has a despatch that the Montauk remained four hours under the enemy's guns without receiving any injury. The Richmond Whig asserts that the British steamer Princess Royal, with a valuable cargo of guns and powder, was captured whilst endeavouring to outer Charleston. It was reported in Havana that heavy firing had been heard at Matanzas and Cardenas, supposed to be caused by an engagement between Federal gun boats and the steamer Oreto. The rumour was strengthened by the report of the gunboat Cayuga that shelled observed a steamer on fire, supposed to be the Oreto, with three othervessels firing into her. It is rumoured that the Harriet Lane has escaped from Galveston. The bombardment of Galveston by the Federal has commenced, but the result is not at present known. General Magruder has declared Galveston open to the trade of all friendly nations. Another British steamer successfully ran the blockade into a Southern port. At New Orleans Confederate notes were rising, and in some demand. The .Neto York Tribune asserts that President Lincoln had offered General Butler the command at New Orleans, with additional powers to raise African regiments on the Mississippi. General Butler, however, hesitated to accept, fearing that the means offered were inadequate to the ends to be accomplished. The editor of the Philadelphia Journal has been released. It is rumoured that the legislature or congress will take measures to check speculation in gold. It is reported that the Senate Finance Committee is opposed to a further issue of legal tender notes. Secretary Chase's Bank scheme is being pressed in Congress. COMMERCIAL INTELLIOLNCE, NEW YORK, FAA 3, Evssnra. Money tighter. Gold 55 per cent. premium. Ex change on London, bankers' bills, 171.

The Richmond papers contain Charleston des patches, stating that two Confederate iron-clad gunboats, accompanied by three steamers, went out from Charleston at one o'clock on the morning of the 31st ult., and attacked the blockading squadron. The engagement commenced at four o'clock. _ . The Confederate gunboats sunk the Federal gun boat Mercedita, carrying 11 guns, and another Federal gunboat, whose name is unknown. They disabled the Federal steamer Quaker City, but she escaped with the loss of one wheel. _ _ . The Confederates also set four Federal vessels on tire. The blockading fleet consisted of 13 vessels, with two first-class frigates. The Confederate gunboats returned to Charles ton, where they were received with immense enthu siasm. Confederate Commander Ingraham officially re ported that the blockading fleet had gone out of sight General Beauregard then issued a proclamation that the Confederate fleet had attacked the block ading squadron off Charleston, and sunk, dispersed, or driven off and out of sight for the time the entire hostile fleet. He therefore formally declared that the blockade of Charleston by the United States was raised by the superior force of the Confederates from and after January 31. General Beauregard further placed steamers at the disposal of the foreign consuls to see for them selves that no blockade existed, and according to the Richmond papers the British Consul went on hoard the steamer Petrel five miles beyond the usual anchorage of the blockaders, but could see nothing of them with gleams. The Richmond papers state that the foreign consuls have held a meeting at Charleston, and were unanimously of opinion that the blockade had been legally raised. Late in the evening of the 31st alt. four vessels cd the blockading squadron reappeared, and on [Stamped, ld. Addition/1j The minister further asked leave to realise the i loan either wholly or in portions according to the requirements of the country. The Minister of Finance in his report to the Chain ber stated that the deficit on the 31st of December, 1862, was 374 millions lire. The minister pro poses that the budget for 1863 should be regulated by extraordinary credits to be opened by royal decrees. The minister further demonstrated the possibility of establishing an equilibrium between the revenue and expenditure within four years, by means of a loan of 700 millions lire, by the sale of crown lands, and the consolidated conversion of a large number of mortgaged estates, by an increase of the land-tax, by the establishment of taxes on certain descriptions of moveable property, by city tolls, the sale of railways, the institution of a bank for making advances upon the security of landed property, by a reorganisation of the existing bank ing system, and by a reform of the method of grant ing mortgages. The ministerstated in conclusion, that the govern ment oonsidered it necessary to take advantage of the existing political lull to regulate the finances. The propositions of the Minister of Instance were favourably received by the Chamber. The debate upon the financial scheme of the government will commence at the next sitting. SPAIN. MADRID, Fn. 14, EVENING. A perfect understanding exists between the Crown and the Ministry. Four Directors-General of the Marine have been dismissed. Marshal Narvaez is organizing a new union of all sections of the moderate liberals. CHINA. SHANGHAE, JAP. 10 (TA Sass). The city is quiet. Burgerane (I Burgevine) has been dismissed from his command. The Russian fleet will remain at Manilla. It is expected that the French troops will be withdrawn. It is reported that the siege of Nankin has been abandoned. No further particulars of the rebellion at Saigon have been received. THE BLOCZADE OF CHARLESTON. (From the 7imeL) As it may become a disputed point whether the blockade has been legally raised, so as to require a formal notice of renewal, the fares en of some interest to the com mercial Gemming. As no declaration is sufficient to constitute a blockade without en actual force on the spot to maintain it, we apprehend • " declaration" is not enough to destroy it. A mere document is not valid either way. A blockade must be raised as well se consti tuted de facto. In this ease these wee not even an intermission It does not appear that any neutral ship could have got into Charleston at any hour of the day on the 31st of January ; and on the lst of February there were no lees 'than twenty Federal vessels off the port. The action wee damaging to the Federal claim of supe riority on the mean, and a daring attempt in the face of so large a form ; but we doubt if the sixty days of un restricted importations hare been gained by it. (From the Morning Poet.) In the present instance, it so happens that the rune man which ha. brought us word that the blockade was raised also tells us that it is reestablished. By such information no one can be misled. If, indeed, we had only heard that the blockade had been raised, and, on the strength of such information, British merchants had despatched vessels to Charleston, and the blockade being subsequently re-established, those vessels on their arrival at that port were captured by the blockaders, then the British government would be entitled to demand their restitution. But, as the information conveyed by this mail announces no existing suspension of the blockade, it must be regarded 'as in full force and operation. Whenever her Majesty's government shall see reason for interposing in the present unhappy war, it will be on some broad, comprehensive ground, and not on so mere • technicality as that raised by the temporary discomfiture at Charleston of the Federal fleet. But although the blockade of Chi/log.oa is not raised, the Confederates are entitled to the highest praise for the skill and gallantry by which they gained so signal • anonym over their adversaries. Let the South &nations to employ its armour-clad gunboats with equal ability on future ocomions, and it will not need pro clamation to make it. ports free to the entire world. THE LATE GAMBLING SCANDAL IF PA RIB. M. Calzado, the director of the Italian Opera, has ad dredged the following letter to the journals in referenoe to the late strange doings at play :—" I owe it to myself and to truth to protest, in the most energetic manner, against the disgraceful calumnies which have been circulated about me, and which have, during the last few days, acquired a deplo rable publicity. I therefore loudly affirm that, in the shame ful recitals which have been in circulation, there is nothing true, a. far as I am concerned, nothing except it be my inof fensive presence in the ulons of Mme. I—. Thank God ! a judicial investigation has been commeneed. I de manded it from the minister of state, end I have accepted it joyfully as a commencement of justice. The truth will soon be known. I mealy went, and will go, to meet every investigation, and I dare affirm beforehand, most conscienti ously, that I have nothing with which to reproach myself. May the truth which will result from the inquiry be striking enough to put to silence all those who have, with so much eagerness, received and propagated the falsehood." _ _ The steamship Cossack, with dates from Lisbon of the 10th, and Vigo of the 11th inst., arrived at South ampton yesterday. Her Britannic Majesty's ships Warrior, Blaek Prince D♦fence, Resistance, and Revenge, were under orders to sail for England. Trade at Lisbon and Vigo is eiceedingly dull. News unimportant. - - INTERESTLIO DISCOVERY AT NAPLES. —A Naples letter has the following:—" A very interesting discovery has jest been made by M. Fiorellt t the inspector of the excavations at Pompeii. While digging at a depth of from eight to ten feet the pickaxe stuck into a little mass of coins and jewels. M.
