GENERAL M'Ciausis has not thought it neces sary to remain in the entrenchments of Washington because his army was lately unsuccessfuL His troops seem to resemble our own in the quality of not knowing when they are beaten. We heard a week ago that he had formed an army and gone out to look for the enemy flushed with victory. We now hear that by rapid marching he has over taken and given a very good account of him. Writing on the 14th from Middletown, which is between Hagerstown and Fre- 1 derick City, he reports a battle, which must have been one of the hardest fought of the cam paign, and in which he had for hie antagonist General Lxx, the ablest officer in the Confederate army. It was " a glorious victory," the enemy disappeared in the night, and was last seen making with all possible speed for the river. We do not know enough of the positions of the several armies to enable us to judge of the consequences of this engagement, but this at least is apparent, that M'CLau.sx has shown enterprise and good general ship, and his men great valour. The detailed ac counts will be expected with interest. THE excitement produced by the recent trial for murder at Glasgow, instead of being at all abated by the conviction of the prisoner, has enormously increased, not only in Glasgow itself, but in all the chief Scottish towns. Nor is this so very sur prising. It is impossible to read the evidence adduced at the trial without feeling that there are important circumstances connected with the mur der not cleared up ; and since the conclusion of the trial some new facts appear to have been brought to light, which in the interests of justice ought to be considered. The accused woman M'LACHLAN was condemned on purely circumstan tial evidence. But circumstantial evidence, if clear and full, is justly considered sufficient for conviction even on a capital charr; a"'l jg WC ease the train of facts connecting the prisoner with the murder were established on the moat dc tailed, distinct, and unexceptionable testimony. It happens, however, that none of the facts are inconsistent with the supposition that while knowing all about the murder, she did not actually commit it, but was simply accessory to the crime ; and there are certainly some striking circura etances that sem to ruin : ttat direction. This is sufficient to explain the feverish excitement that exists, the doubts that are so widely entertained as to the prisoner's undivided guilt, and the strong desire that prevails to have the execution at least delayed until the doubtful circumstances of the case have been thoroughly investigated afresh by competent authorities, and laid before the Home SECRETARY for his consideration. The facts of this remarkable case are so notori ous that the briefest reference to them will suffice. The house in Sandyford Place where the murder was committed belongs to a Mr. Fume°, a gentle man carrying on business in Glasgow. But in the month of July last Mr. FUMING and his family were absent at Dunoon, and the only persons staying in the house at the time of the murder were the murdered girl, Jas= M`PHERSON, who was Mr. Fiamisa's servant, and his father, an old man, employed by him in connexion with his business. On the night of the 4th of July, during which the murder was committed, the old man says he went to bed us usual between nine and ten o'clock, but at four in the morning he was roused by a loud scream, or " squeal," followed by two fainter ones; that he jumped out of bed, but not bearing them repeated, went back again without making any inquiry. He goes on to say that finding the servant did not come to him at eight o'clock as usual, he did not get up till nine. He then went to her room door, knocked without receiving any answer, and finding it locked, got breakfast for himself, and went about his ordinary work as usual. He did the same on Saturday and Sunday, preparing his owti meals and going about as usual, without making any inquiry whatever about the missing servant ; and it was not until late on Monday aka - L oon, r : 7. - rescuvl. returned from Dunoon, that the awful tragedy of that closed IJ.d darkened room down-stairs came to light. Then the poor girl, Josue M`Pasamorr, was found lying on the fl ar dead, and disfigured with cruel wounds. The old man was immediately arrested on the charge of having murdered her. On further examination, however, it was found THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY E that several articles of clothing murdered woman, and some plate of Mr. FIX KING'S, were miming, and these toles Valli traced to • MTS. WLACHLLN, who for rly lived with JIBBIE M‘PnEasoN la Mr. FLatrawfa service, and still occasionally came to see her. On being charged with the possession of the things and a knowledge of the murder, this woman denied having been near the house on the night in question, and fabricated a story of having received the clothes as a gift from her friend, and the plate from old FLEMING to pawn on his behalf. It was proved on the trial that this woman was not only 'at the house on the night of the murder, but that she did not leave until between eight and nine next morning ; that before she left home she was in need of money to pay her rent and redeem ' certain articles from the pawn-shop, and that after her return she had enough for those purposes; and I that within a day or two after she attempted to get rid of some of the clothes of the murdered woman, as well as to conceal garments of her own that were deeply stained with blood. On this evidence she was convicted and condemned. But before the sentence was pro nounced, a remarkable statement was read to the court by her counsel, giving a wholly new and wonderfully detailed account of all that occurred on the terrible night of the murder. This statement is not only altogether different from the clumsy falsehoods she told when first• arrested, but has in many points so much internal evidence of sub stantial truth, that it is impossible to regard it as a mere fabrication. It contradicts in tote her pre vious statements, but the remarkable fact is that although, according to the decisive testimony of her legal agents, the account was drawn up a month before the trial, it is not only strongly confirmed in a number of minute but important particulars by the evidence adduced in court, but helps to explain and connect some points that are left doubtful and obscure. In her statement the prisoner M'Lacnaa asserts that she went to the house on the night of the murder, late in the evening, and found the old man in the kitchen on bad terms with the servant, that he sent her out for some spirita, and during her absence attacked and seri onsly wounded the poor girl, that on her return she wanted to go for a doctor, but the old man would not let her, and that she accordingly tended the wounded woman herself, while the old man washed up the blood. She goes on to say that late in the night, when his victim had been laid near the kitchen fire, the old man completed the work of destruction he had begun, and on her trying to escape in terror, threatened to kill her also. But having agreed to stay, the old man removed the body, washed the floor, bound her by a solemn oath to silence, gave her the clothes and plate as a bribe, and finally sent her home between eight and nine in the morning, after the milk-boy had made his usual call. The suggested motive of the mur der was that the old man had attempted to take liberties with the girl, and that she having re pulsed and threatened him, he had struck her violently in a moment of passion, and, fearing her disclosures, resolved to protect himself by the death of his victim. The local press has urged very justly and with considerable force, that some minute but not unimportant parts of this remarkable statement are confirmed by the evidence adduced in court, and amongst others that relating to the milk-boy. The old man in his evidence deposed that he did not rise till nine o'clock on Saturday morning, and that no one came to the door till eleven. But the evidence of the milk-boy dis tinctly contradicts those statements. The Scotsman forcibly comments on this incident : is the witness-box, this old man, whose memory seemed to be good enough, stated distinctly that he was not out of bed before nine o'clock, and that he spoke to no one that morning until about 11 o'clock, when a neighbouring servant came, wanting to borrow a spade. The milk-boy proved that he aims to him to the door between 7 and 8 o'clock, and took the chain off the door, and refused to take any milk. When eked wby be answered the door himself , and did not allow Jessie to answer the door, he said—" Jenny MY deed by this time." If he had been very careful against committing himself, or appearing to know of Jesaie's death, he would most likely have bees more guarded with his answer. That much is to be said for him, and it is a stronger observation in his favour than his own e:- planation that he had been through the house, and at Jessie's door, sad had got no answer, and therefore knew that she was not in to answer the door. But how could be know that she was not to come in any minute ? And why not take in some milk for her and for himself ? And why settle at once that no milk was to be needed ? How could he guess that she was not to require any milk? Besides, bow did he happen to deny all about the milk-boy at first, and to mistake the hour so widely! And further, 1 1 how did Mrs. Idlachlan know about the cell of the milk-boy and the refusal to take milk before (according to her agent's statement and her remarkable declaration) the milkboy had been ttez ; Amother point is the washing of the kitchen floor. It was proved on the trial that there were traces of its having actually been done. Our Edinburgh contemporary justly says : A thief who goes toe boo., and commits murder does not usually stay to wash away the stains of blood, but, on the contrary, takes what plunder can be got, and escapes as fast as possible. And here, with regard to kfn. WLachlan, what object could she have in washing the floor al the house! still more in washing part of the bedroom and the sheet! Bow could she suppose that old Fleming would not, ie accordance with his inquisitive cha racter, have the servant's door instantly broken open ! All presumptions were in favour of instant discovery : none that he would live iu the house for three days and do nothing. How any murderer should have washed the sheet or the bedroom is quite inscrutable ; but the washing of the floor was clearly much more like the act of one who was to remain in the house than of one who crane for plunder and was to make away with it with all possible expedition. Some other points of the prisoner's statement, such aa that of her being sent out for spirits at eleven o'clock on the night of the murder, and seeing a Mrs. Werairs, a grocer's wife, at the cor ner of the lane at the back of Sandyford Place, have I been established by minute inquiry since the close of the trial. Mrs. WALKER'S deposition has been taken, and it corresponds in every particular of time and place with the prisoner's statement. It is clear, therefore, that this document is not wholly false, and it is of vital consequence to find out, as far as possible, how much of it is true. It con flictawith none of the evidence adduced at the trial except that of the old man, FLEmirin, and, as we have seen, in some points where his evidence is convicted of error and confusion, the prisoner's account is clear and in agreement with the testimony of the crow!, Witnesses. We cannot, of course, venture to say that the main statements of this extraordinary narrative are true, or that, however minutely confirmed in some points, it would be sufficient to roll this terrible bnnlen of guilt from the head on which it now rests. But there is quite enough of doubt and uncertainty about the case to explain the strong feeling that hu been excited, and to justify the memorial that hu been drawn up to Sir Groans GRAY, praying for a respite of the unhappy woman's sentence, until, iq :Ca interest` of justice and for the satisfaction of the public miod, there has been a thorough in vestigation into the whole matter.

With the death of the late Archbishop of Canter bury speculation of a painful character took possession of the minds of a very large belt of the inhabitants of the diocese of York as to the probability of the removal of the greatly respected Dr. Longley, Archbishop of York, to supply the vacancy. AU doubt upon the matter has now, however, been set at rest, inasmuch u his gra-e yesterday (Thurs day) morning received at his palace, at Bishopethorpe, near Yoik, a communication from the Premier, offering to him the primacy of England, which his grace at once expressed his determination to accept. An intimation of this feet soon became known to the clergy and citizens of York, and a general feeling of regret was expressed at the prospect of his grace's removal from a diocese in which he has earned in has favour a feeling of respect and love, which is the lot of few persons of equal dignity. His grace has occupied the position of Archbishop of York little over a couple of jean, the late archbishop's decease oecurting on the 4th of May, 1860, and the en throcisatlon of Dr. Longley on the 20th of duly following. Whilst connected with the see of Durham, his grace earned for himself a fame for his devotedness to his duties, and the amiability of his manners, and he was frequently found mixing himself with the working colliers of that coal-laden district. The recollection of Dr. Loogley's efforts in con nexion with the Burradon Colliery accident, which occurred on the 2nd of March, 1860, rod only a few months prior to his being appointed to the diocese of York, must live is the minds of all whose sympathies are excited by such lament able events ; and the labour which he then bestowed in pio mating a fund for the pecuniary assistance of the fatherless and the widow, sa well as in administering in his own pm , son religious c o nsolation to those bereft ones who stood so much in need of it, bas earned for him an almost imperish able name. With such a character, his grace could scarcely fail to possess the love of the inhabitants of his present diocese, and this he has considerably strengthened by his numerous acts of munificence during the brief period of his odic.. The most prominent feature of his labours is, perhaps, the establishment of the York Diocesan Church Building and Endowment Aid Society, which, it was an nounced at its annual meeting twelve months ago, had raised towards the objects of its establishment no less sums than 15,C301. in donations, and 1,1001. in annual subscriptions. Since then these amounts have been increased by several thousands of pounds. AU his other works have tended towards the spiritual good of his diocese, and towards main taining that unanimity and friendliness of spirit amongst his clergy which areeo necessary for the furtherance of the interests of the church and the promotion of the cause of God. Various conjectures are afloat as to his grace's pro bable sucoweior, but of course none of them coo have an au thority which would justify their being mentioned here.

AMERICA. GREAT FEDERAL VICTORY IN MARYLAND. RETREAT OF THE CONFEDERATES. (Per North American, by Telegraph to Cape Race and from Londonderry.) NEW YORK, Ezrr. 15, EVENING. Generals M'Clellan and Burnside passed through Frederick, Maryland, on the 13th inst., and imme diately pressed forward in the direction of Hagers town, to overtake the Confederates. An official report from General M'Clellan, dated Headquarters beyond Middletown, Sept. 14, even ing, says : "After a very severe engagement the corps oI Generals Hooker and Reno have carried the heights commanding Hagerstown-road by storm. Our troops behaved magnificently. General Franklin has been wholly engaged on the extreme left, but I do not know the result, except that the firing in dicates progress on his part. The action continued after dark, and terminated leaving us in possession of the entire crest of the heights. "It has been a glorious victory. I cannot yet tell whether the enemy will retreat or appear in increased force in the morning. General Reno was killed." A second report from Genetal WClellan, dated Head-quarters, Sept. 15, says : " General Franklin's success on the left was complete, resulting in his capture of the Gap. We have taken a considerable number of prisoner. The enemy disappeared during the night, but our troops are advanCing in pursuit. I do not know where they will next be found. " General Hooker reports from the advance that the envy is making for the river in a perfect panic. " Later information, just received, completely confirms the news of the root and demoralisation of the rebel army. General Lee is reported to be wounded. GeLend Hooker has over 1,000 prisoners. It is stated that General Lee gives his loss at 15,000 men. We are following as rapidly as the men can move." It is reported that General "Stonewall" Jack son has recrossed the Potomac at Williamsport, in Virginia. L L L a r. L& NbnlX . 84.77 64 68 R.W. Sr 0.18 29.81 66 55 3.8.

G, SEPTEMBERI727,c_ -1862 (nom ova ors EN:PRES S FROM PARIS. PARIS, FRIDAY Emma. I see nothing in the remarks of the French journals to modify the judgment of the first im pression which I formed yesterday as to the docu ' manta published in the Moniteur. I still think that the only rational inference to be drawn from their publication under present circumstances is that, notwithstanding the Pope's absolute rejection of all the Emperor's proposals, the latter means to continue in possession of Rome. The more hop> ful friends of Italy try to extract consolation from the passage in M. Thouvenel's despatch, instruct ing M. de Lavalette to insinuate that if the Pope should remain as obstinate as heretofore France Iwould, after a certain time, be compelled to find means to withdraw from a position which falaifi-ld her policy. But it is remarkable that M. Lavalette's elaborate and detailed account of his interview with Cardinal Antonelli does not contain one word to show that he acted npou that part of , his instructions. Moreover the Emperor's letter I said expressly, as if foreseeing—as he certainly did —the negative result of his overtures, that they were not to have the character of an ultimatum. The conclusive argument, however, against the suggestions of certain journals that the period of long suffering alluded to by M. Thouvenel has now run out, is to be found in the prefatory paragraph of the Monte r, which advisedly asserts that the Emperor's policy is still to effect a "reconciliation" between the Pope and Italy, just as it was three months ago. In other words, the Moniteur endorses Gueronnibre's boast that whe ther the Pope remain intractable or not Italy shall never have Rome for her capital, as France will hold it for ever, unless the temporal power is fully guaranteed. The rumour that M. Thouvenel has tendered his resignation in conse quence of the dishonour done to the above im portant passage in his despatch is probably true. It is said that the Emperor has refused to part with his minister for the moment, and requested him to wait for the ministerial council, which will be held as soon as his Majesty comes to St. Cloud. The Fainch papers, as must have been intended, interpret the Monittur's revelations in divers senses, but none of those that speak honestly can make anything satisfactory out of them. The catholic journal, the Union, sums up in a sentence what they really amount to when it says : These documents oontain • complete exposition of • recent incident in the negotiations long going on for the arrangement of Italian @Reim They relate to a past occurrence which has had its beginning, its middle, and its end ; but we do not see that they throw the lout glimmer of light upon the presect or the future. They tell us what was done at a given time—not what is going to be done now. All beyond that is mere random conjecture—as as far, at least, as the documents go upon the face of them. But there are certain extrinsic symptoms which ought not to be overlooked, and these are unfavourable to Italy. Besides the triumphant tone of the France, which "approves and admires" the Emperor's letter and exclaims that the Roman question "is now solved," the "entire satisfaction" of the Constitutionnel, which but a little while 11.30 was bitterly adverse to Gueronniere and proposed the famous solution of withdrawing the troops and leaving the Pope to settle accounts with his subjects, is to be noted. The very author of that solution, M. Paulin Limayrac, now hails the Emperor's letter as the perfection of human wisdom, and gives up, without a word of regret, the prospect of Rome the capital of Italy. As the Temps observes, he "prostrates himself to the earth" without saying what it is he worships, and this attitude, more than anything else, shakes the faith of the Temps in the favoura ble interpretation of the Moniteur, which, all I noticed yesterday, it held in common with the Presse. The Monde thinks the Moniteur gives a triumph to Gueronnibre, with a slight leaning towards Limayrac. The Gazette de France calls for a "few French regiments," to restore to the Pope the Marches and Umbria. I mentioned the other day that Gneronniire had dined with Count Walewski. I should have said th►t not only Gueronnibre but the whole of his staff was entertained by that minister at his country house at Etiolles. They no doubt drank success to the France, and the ultramontane policy which it was organised to support. Baron Ricasoli, after staying three or four days in Paris, during which time he had interviews with M. Thouvenel and M. de Persigny, has gone home to superintend the vintage on his estate.

A riot took place in this town last night, on the occasion of • lecture being delivered by Gsvarsi on "Garibaldi, and the present political state of Italy." The lecturer made some remarks on the Pope's Irish Bri gade, which roused the passions of some of the Roman eatholics who were present in the lecture-room. The police, assisted by civili►ns, proceeded to eject the dis turbers, during which time • great commotion ensued, and eggs were smashed on the wall of the lecture-room. The police having succeeded in ejecting the principal rioters, Gavazzi proceeded with his discourse. At the close of the lecture ►n immense mob attacked the hotel in which the lecture was delivered, breaking almost every pane of glass in the windows, and otherwise damaging the premise*. The audience ware afraid to vesture out, as Ames were eying in all directions. The police from some of the country districts were immediately summoned, as also the militia staff, but the combined force was totally unable to disperse the mob, and merely sufficed to keep them from entering the hotel. The parish priest addressed the rioters, imploring them to disperae, but without effect. The Riot Act was read, still the crowd was increasing, and numerous parties from the mob sallied out in all directions, and demolished the windows of honest Ocioogleg Ic proteeted« At • take hoar this monikg the besieged audience in the hotel were enabled to leave.

THE METROPOLITAN MAIN DRAINACE.—The works in cononioe with the drainage of the metropolis north of the Thames are very rapidly progiessiog. While the operations for the construction of the sewer have now advanced from the western districts nearly as far as the neighbourhood of the Metropolitan Railway, those from the eastern district. have already reached to the City-road, near which the operations aro being actively carried on. • large portion of Old-street-road Lein now open. The work is greatly facilitated by the use of a number of steam crams of very ingenious constructioo, which turn completely round on a pivot, at the option of the driver, without the latter leaving his seat, and thus lift the excavated soil from the cutting. The double-barrel sewer is also fast being con stru%ed to the east of the metropolis in the direction of it. outfall, and, being raised in some parts on an embaukmeut, presents a singular and imociamg nppeaeaoos , especially when viewed from the North Woolwich tine of rainy. THE ACCIDENT AT THE MALVERN TUNNEL- -.. MALVERN, FRIDAY. —After four days' inessmot work in re. pairing the damage docie by the falling of an air shaft into the tunnel of the Worcester and Heraord Railway, through the Ifsevere.hille, the tassel has been made sufficiently se cure for the passage of trains, and to-day the regular traffic through the tunnel has been resumed. The work of shoring up the shaft and making it secure in its altered position was completed yesterday, and the first train passed through the tunnel from Hereford on its way to Wor cester at half-past $ o'clock last night. The work has been completed in so substantial a manner adder the direction of Mr. Wilson, the engineer of the West Midland Railway, that no further mischief is apprehended. It seems the sir shaft sunk bodily • distance of 15 feet, penetrating the arch of the tunnel, and messing into the earth beneath it. 81.611 , 11/6 otrr or Town.—We will assume that you are living at Richmond, which is barely to be reckoned as country. You happen to be late for breakfast, swallow it hastily, lest the train be missed, sad either take en imperfect meal, or take it with a rapidity which taxes digestion. Munching a bit of toast as you hurry a10e.,, you are thrown into a flurry by hearing the whistle of the approaching eogiue ; you set off running at fell speed, and dash into the station blown sad heated. Dr. C. B. Williams alludes to this anxiety about catching the train as peculiarly dangerous to per' eons with any disease of the heart. " I have known sudden deaths and several aggravations of valvular lesions to be caused in this way." But you are happily at ease on that soon ; there is nothing wrong about your heart. Still you have reached the carriage greatly he a ted, and are whirled to London at • rapid pace, the cold air blowing upon your heated body from the open window, or windows. The risk of • sore throat, bronchitis, low fever, or at least a cold, is considerable. Perhaps after all you have missed the train. You have then to " cool down, much exasperated, on a windy platform, or in a waiting.room dreadful with draughts. Three quarters of an hem or more are spent in vexatious weariness, and by the time you get into the carriage you are thoroughly chilled. The cold air. which was dangerous whew you were heated, is not less dangerous now you are chilled ; but your fellow•passeugers caonot think of hav ing the window closed. You get to town, go about your business, and in the evening have to repeat the experience of the morning.
