Advice. from the army of the Potomac indicate that General Grant is again moving. On the 26th heavy artillery firing occurred between the Confe derates and the 18th corps. The results were unimpmtaat. Federal operations in the vicinity of Bermuda Hundred having induced the Confederates to believe that Richmond was about to be approached on the north side of the James River, they with drew from Petersburg a portion of Hill's and of Longetreet's corps to °ppm, the movement, where upon the second corps under General Hancock was detached and sent across the James River on the afternoon of the 26th inst., on a pontoon bridge near the mouth of Four Mile Run. The movement is believed to have surprised the Confederates, who fell back hastily to their entrenchments on being charged upon by the first division. The Federals recaptured four 20-pounder Parrott guns ; which were taken from the 18th corps near Drury s Bluff on the 27th of last May. A portion of the 19th corps is also reported to have crossed the James River. The entrenchments to which the Confederates retreated were constructed over two years ago, and are known to be of great a The position now held b tr y en tteral Hancock is within ten miles of Richmond, and it is believed that General Grant intends advancing from that direction to the immediate defences of the Confe derate capital with a view to open a regular siege. It is rumoured that the entire army is to be trans ferred to the north bank of the James River. It was reported that the Confederate rams bad descended from Richmond and destroyed a Federal gunboat, and that they were about to attack City Point. _ Advicee from the Upper Potomac confirm the report of General Averill's defeat on the 25th, and the subsequent 'retreat of Hunter's entire force to Harper's Ferry and Williamsport. Confederate accounts claim that in the battle near Snicker's Gap Early achieved a decided victory, capturing 800 prisoners and four guns. It is reported that all rebel troops that could be spared from Richmond bad been sent to Early, and his force numbers 50,000. The banks at Frederick are closed, the citizen, leaving, and go vernment stores removed. Latest accounts are very contradictory. One statement is to the effect that the Confederates hold several of the ford* of the Potomac, sad purpose crossing the river in very large force. Another re presents that their entire force, 40,000 strong, has retired from the Upper Potomac, possibly to attempt a crossing further down. The prepara tions made by the military authorities are said to be such as will secure the safety of the capital, and regain possession of the Shenandoah Valley. It is thought that the Confederates will at least attempt to hold the valley until they cat secure its harvest. The Richmond Examiner of July 25 says : The sews of the violexy at Atlanta, which the telegraph brought to EP;laced ea last Batsrday, delighted the public, as muds as Kay that has been received daring the war; it caused a geceral joy throsgbout the city, and will otery the moil to all quarters of the country.

Gemara Hoed has turned upon file enemy, and been tuoosestaL It is no. possible to envoy say idea of the gratdoetion which the news of this victory essied. Further on, recollecting the experience of pre vious reported victories, the journalist grows more cautious, and observes that "the press despatch was at first doubted. So often had the community been elated by first news from that army only to be disappointed by subsequent intelligenoe, that men hesitated to believe what they red e' and that "of the completeness of this victory at the time of writing nothing is known." CANADA. The election for North Ontario closed on the 27th, Mr. McDougall, the provincial secretary, being defeated by a majority of 100 votes. This news is of some importance. Mr. George Brown, the prime mover in the new arrangements, had declared before this untoward election came off, that the rejection of the provin cial secretary by his constituency would be almost a fatal blow at the coalition. Probably, however, some expedieet will be found to meet the difficulty temporarily, without breaking up the government. Tea Ifornowns IN AMMUCA.—The Roy. W. L.

THE NEW OPEXAM BETTING GROUND- DIXIE'S LAND: (sina's =Jolux.) EIRRLIN Amos? 10, Ensure. The student of life and manners who wends his way to Great Saffron-hill, will find ample food for reflectiOn in the peculiarities of its people and the a:lthey furnish of the stringency of acts of Far- I, and the dread majesty of the law. If gifted with much faith and of a speculative turn, he may , io to chew the cud of sweet and bitter, espeasihy bitter, fancy, if he will but yield to the influences of the place, and invest his money an a favourite tip. First, es to the whereabouts of the site we write of, and the particulate hohrs at which nil beautiet may be seen. 6 Dixie's" is a publie house, and "Dixie's Land" is a piece of waste 'ground in front of it, which may be approached in this wise. Let the explorer turn from Fleet-street into Far ringdon-street. keeping on the Aide opposite to the site of the old Fleet prison ; let him note the first group of blackguard-looking men who are whisper ing mysteriously, and let him follow them directly they begin to start off at the double towards He r born. He will not have to waitlong. From the door of one of the public-houses, or wog in at some of the shop windows, he will soon see large-eared, fleshy, thick-necked, tight-trowsered, dirtily thaby men, who after hungrily fingering bits of erumpbd tissue paw,. and pzin atAgem on tip toe overreach other's shoulders, will hasten off with preoccupied mien the instant they have mastered their telegraphic contents. Remarking that the shop windows, in their plenitude of note-books, metallic and otherwise, in their dog's-headed and borne's-hoofed sham jewellery, and in their slop clothes-tickets belabelled "Down the Road,""Tbe Cheese," and " The St. Leger," tell a perfectly consistent story, and extenaively aim at supplying what are called "sporting wants," wed cross Holborn, and find ourselves in the continuation of Farringdon-street, known as Farringdonsoad. Before us is the station of the Metropolitan Railway, on the right is the Field-lane Refuge for the Homeless Poor, while to the left is a large and barren shoe of waste ground, the spot we have come to see. There is a half maritime look about this neighbourhood, as if a section of Batcliff-high way had being mixed up with one of the streets of the docks, and the amalgam had been transferred for some inscrutable purpose to the E.C. district. There are two or three timber merchants' yards; there are huge blocks of wood, like peeled trunks of trees, lying uselessly in the midst, whereon idle loungers rest, and about which ragged children play ; on the railings further on are festoons of blue, brown, and white canvas shirts, which are guarded by the plaid-lined peajackets waving from the windows of the house beyond ; and the inevitable old iron and glass bottle warehouses jostle with the petty hucksters' shops, and with hotels having "Lodging establishment , one night 4d., seven nights Zs.," for their sign. But the ancient glories of Field-lane have fled. There are now no silken trophies waving from windows and doorways, and the peculated pocket-handkerchief business seems to have given way to the exchange of rusty chains and keys, and to the extensive vending of old boots. Great Saffron-bill rises from the timber yard of Dungey, and in the centre of an enclosed spine, with the busy thoroughfare leading from Hol bor n to Olerkenwell in their front, and a German baker's, "Dixie's" and another publio-houae, and some small shops in their rear, are from two to three or four hundred men and bo ys: earnestly pursuing the calling they have chosen. The three men whose unmistakeably turfy look struck us in Farringdou street, separate the instant they reach the ground, and whisper something in the ears of .their friends and partners,who are standing upon small bits of board, and who promptly alter the figures in a kind of open pocket-book held up by the boy at their aide. There are many men standing upon boards, and there are many attendant apntes whose sole duty it is toact like the Paris hunchback in the days of Law as human reading-stands and writing-desks. The men we have watched have acquired later intelligence of the state of the odds, or the condition of the horses, or the rumours of the stables, from the touts in their employ, or with whom they are in partnership, and have hastened back to have the prices altered upon the ground we are in. There is no disguise or secrecy about this crowd, though we are bound to say there is but little noise. It is the greet outside betting ring, the fifth - rate Tattersall 's of the East, and the people before us are small book-makers, low frequenters of races, petty gamblers, handicraftsmen, shopboye, and clerks. The open pocket-book is not unlike' the folding leather cases for caress des visites. It ' d holds from six to eight printed cards, the size of which strengthens the comparison, each containing& list of the horses in the forthcoming racing " events," with marginal notes as to the price at which they can be backed. This frequently varies to the extent of one or two points, and intending in- ' vestors may be seen hastily examining list after list, and even chaffering with their principals until what they consider satisfactory terms are obtained. The list keeper holds in one hand a bundle of red, blue, or green bits of pasteboard, of the she and shape of • railway ticket, and on the person who consents to beck a particular horse giving him the sum agreed on, the card is made out for the amount of the odds laid, plus the amount already banded over. Thus, • youth who has a "good opinion" of the "performance s"of, we will say, Brother to Bluenose, and who agrees to back that noble steed for one shilling, at four to one, deposits his twelvepence, and receive* • written guarantee, probably from a man be does not know, for five shillings in cum the bet is won. And it must not be thought that we haveover-stated the posaibilities of British gambling. After an intelligent boy of fourteen or so—whose pencil and scissors peeping from his waistcoat pocket bespoke his calling, had concluded his investment, and received his ticket from a sunken-cheeked, red haired, restless-eyed, black celled, bejewelled Jew, whose dirty blue satin, gold flowered waistcoat, broken gibus, crumpled shirt, bulging boots, and greasy garments, seemed somehow to bespeak his calling too, be moved to another list-keeper, and, calmly tendering one shilling, received a second bit of pasteboard is return. He thus doubled his investment, and de creased the chances of default, but it was obvious that he bad to pick his men ; for, at the head of one of the lists, under the name and address of its keeper, we reed, "Nothing under 5.. taken ;" and on another "From 2001. to 2s. &L" Few things were more striking than the indifference and noncha lance of the list-keepers. They keep their ground, and the people wishing to entrust them with money have to seek them out. The supremely careless way in which a tall, half-rustic looking man kept dropping sums of from half-a-crown toe sovereign into his trousers-pocket, while his sub made out the , necessary ticket', and eager baud& were forcing upon him other coin, was an instructive thing to ' see. The talk is all of odds, and " crosses," and "information ;" and queries as to "going down to , morrow," are varied by whispers of successful bet making, and of crafty arrangements for obtaining I longer odds than are sanctioned by the market price. The very walls and hoardings seem to par take of the character of the district, for a huge, torn, and ragged poster ostentatiously and oracu larly proclaims its knowledge of " All about it ;" whilst ' The Discarded Wife" contends foe publi city with " The Streets of London " on the shabby wall beyond. During this time the customers con stantly change, and the industrious merchants and their colleagues and hangers-on keep at their posts, i. e., on their boards. These standing-places are to preserve them from the damp earth in wet weather, and the huge gig umbrellas now folded up are also used as a protection, being held Indian slave fashion by one of the boys. We note the names and addresses of the list-keepers, find many of them to be tavern landlords, who have " and at the Anna" added thereto ; but see in more , than one instance there is no address, and that the name is moveable, as if the posketbouk were Meer The semi-official Norcidest;che Aligeintsne Zeituny, in an article on the occupation of Lauenburg by the Federal troops, sart—" Prussia has for the present considered it sufficient to demand explana tions of the step from the governments concerned.' (now ooa ancia, COPENRAGEN, Acotwr 6. To-day his Majesty King Christian has opened in person the Rigedag, or parliament of Denmark. You will remember that the Rigaread, or legislative assembly for the whole monarchy, commenced its sittings on Juoe 25. Both bodice are now similarly limited as to the territory which they will in future govern, and it is probable that some compromise may be effected uniting the two. I perceive by a list of their names that each house contains the NMI knot of politicians—Mourad, Alfred Hage, Hall, and Bile, appearing as members of the Falketking alike in Rigedag and sfgar•ad, whilst the gentleman who is president in the one fills that office also in the other. This meeting of the local parliament is purely a matter of form, resembling what takes place every November at Westminster. The RMadag will be speedily adjourned, having only met in compliance with constitutional usage. Since I wrote, six weeks ago, to describe the open ing ceremony in June, a sad change has come over Denmark. At that time, though war impended, there was hope of foreign assistance. We seemed upon the eve of great events. Lord Palmerston had not declared undeviating neutrality, and moat Danes firmly believed that Our Channel Fleet would be the next arrival. In six weeks, however, they have been roughly disenchanted ; I might have said that they were in six days, for the remain ing interval has been filled with efforts at negotiation. A new prime minister, pledged to obtain pesos, has succeeded Bishop Monrad, and preliminaries are already signed. From being com paratively confident and cheerful, public feeling is settling down into hopeless dejection. Every one knows that the blood and trearium expended to save North Sleevig from alien rule have been thrown away. Such a treaty as can alone be hoped for is a mortifying confession of defeat, not on • mere point of honour nor about the right to distant colonies, but upon a question vital to the integrity of the Danish nation. "It will be very hard for us," they say, " to see our countrymen in Flemsborg, Aabenraa and Haderslev, in the Sundewitt and on Als, forced to become Germans or else suffering ill-treatment from the conquerors." Christian IX. must fully share his subjects' gloom, because, setting aside the natural unwillingness of every monarch to be despoiled, he has an honest kind-hearted dis position that pities the unlucky Danish folk. Moreover the King is seriously threatened by • compulsory abandonment of the London treaty--an abandonment that weakens his claim to obedience in the remaining portion of his realm. In the spacious apartment at Christianborg, once before described, wen gathered members of both houses, Lsndthing and Folkething, to hear the royal speech. A crowd of spectators tilled the benches set apart for them. There were ladies in one gallery, diplomats, with stars and ribbons, in the other. A carpet had been spread before the throne, where usually stands the President's tri buns, and on this carpet stood the three silver lions of Denmark, summoned from their retreat in Ito senborg Castle to do duty for a single morning as ' attendants on the King. A crimson mantle, lined with ermine, was laid upon the throne, and • seat for the Crown Prince placed beside it. Presently, 1 when all were assembled, when courtiers and officers ! of state stood ins brilliant group on either aide the central dais, Christian IX., accompanied by his eldest son Prince Frederick, entered the hall. They wore military uniforms, and the light blue scarf of the Order of the Elephant. His Majesty, who looked pale and anxious, mounted the throne, received a roll of paper from his Horns Minister, and read with • firm voice to the Rigedag that stood listening attentively. The address was abort and simple. It thanked Denmark, through her representatives, for patriotic efforts agaiost a superior enemy, praised the army and navy for their valour, and regretted that overpowering force had compelled great sacri fices to secure peace. In conclusion the King ex pressed a hope that be and his people together might see • time of freedom and prosperity which would heal the wounds inflicted upon their father land. Cheering then broke forth, and 'nit' Majesty, bowing, withdrew. I heard it observed around me that the public seemed coldly dispirited, and that the cheers wanted heartiness. Of course they did. Who would applaud with vociferous clamour the announcement of national diameter 7 It is very probable that nothing but personal respect for the sovereign led to any cheering at all. I am con vinced of King Christian's sincere intention to do his best, let us hope during a long reign, to main tain the freedom and independence of Denmark. He has lost two-fifths of the monarchy, through violence from without, and cannot come before Danish opinion with the charm of soarer. But Danes are very reasonable. They will give him a fair chance, and will learn to appreciate the advan tage in time of peace of having a ruler who is neither smateurdiplomatist nor martinet. The third and eighteenth regiments, recently re turned from active service, and distinguished by their resolute hearing on June 29th, were reviewed this afternoon by King Christian. Their appear same is very serviceable. The men only require good weapons and an equal battle to show that Danes have not degenerated. " Magnificent raw material" is the compliment of every professional visitor to Denmark. It. is unfortunate that small powers find difficulty in keeping pace with scientific gunnery, breech-loaders, etc., as little armies most need these advantages. lukermann would have been a differentaffairhad the Russian columns fired three volleys for one from our side. I trust that tbe re ported intention to provide British troops with quick-shooting rifles may soon be carried out. 017TWLID BOMBAY MAIL —The Syria, from Southampton, rib July, auselted Malta on the sth iestant, at 10 a.m., sad left at 6 p.m., for Alemedrie.

Every body, however, seemed as peacefully disposed as if the plucking of pigeons were th e most pastoral of pursuits. The faces were in many instances such as would well befit the prisoner's dock or the peniten tiary cell ; but the demeanour was uniformly that of men who were well employed, and who took a keen interest in their work. The pot-boy, is shirt sleeves. and slippers, from the adjacent tavern ; the blue-bloused butcher's slaughterhouse man, whose long worsted overalls looked as if he bad pulled his stockings over his trowsers in mistake ; the baker, with his basket of loaves slung over his shoulder ; and the oostermonger who left his pears and apples, all backed their favourite horses without hesitation ; and each, no doubt, represented a distinct class of patrons of the turf. It is the belief of those backers, as well as of the list keeper themselves, that the police have no power in Dixie 's Land ; and their opinion is confirmed by the absolute impunity accorded to them. We heard, with many an asseveration by more than one of the kabituis, that the police dare not interfere ; and we saw no reason to doubt the statement in the evidence before us. We believe that the week before such meetings as those of Epsom, Ascot, or Doncaster, the crowd is twice or thrice the size of the one we beheld, but we are content to record that from 1 till 3 p.m. yesterday we saw the worst kind of turf gambling unblushingly carried on by hundreds of men in the very heart of the city, and that we believe this outrage. oa...decency and open violation of the spirit of the law is to be daily witnessed, in the language of the play bills, " until further notice."
