All is reported quiet in front of Petersburg. It is thought that the Confederates are meditating early and important offensive operations. On the afternoon of the 6th inst. they exploded a mine in front of the bth Corps, but little damage was done, as the mine did not reach the Federal works by about 40 feet. The Confederates started to make a charge after the explosion, but fell back on ascer taining the failure of the mine. Some heavy musketry firing ensued, continuing for some time, but without any important result. The Court of Inquiry convened to investigate the cause of the failure of the attack on the 30th ult.. referred the case back to head-quarters. It is said that General Burnside was implicated with the cause of the disaster. Prince George's Court House was burned by Federal troops on the 7th. It was a wanton act ow the part of the troops, and not in obeyanoe of any instruction from their oflioers. The Federals continue to suffer on account of the scarcity of drinking water. General Grant has returned to the army of the Potomac. A Harper's Ferry despatch reports the forces under General Early to be still at Winchester in the Shenandoah valley. Nothing definite seems to have been ascertained in relation to their future operations. They have already secured the rich crops of the Shenandoah Valley. It is reported that the raiders, under Generals M`Causland and Bradley Johnson, were overtaken and utterly routed at Moorefield by General Averill, who captured all their artillery and about 500 prisoners. The Federala abandoned the pursuit on account of the exhausted condition of their horses. It is not believed that the Confederates have any org►nised force north of the Potomac. A concen tration of Federal troops is in progress , with a view, it is said, to attack the main body of the Confede rates, under Early, at Winchester. It has been rumoured that Early, after securing the crops on the Shenandoah, would receive heavy reinforcements and move against Pittsburg, Wheeling, and Cin cinnati General Sheridan has been placed in command of the departments of the Upper Potomac and West Virginia . . . . . _ AI last accounts the situation at Atlanta remained unchanged. General Sherman was strengthening his position, and vigorously preparing his siege operations. Hood maintained his lines, and was thought to be making every exertion to interfere with Sherman's communications. It was reported that large bodies of Georgia militia had reinforced Atlanta. The report of the capture by the Confederates of General Stoneman and a portion of his command is fully confirmed, but no additional details are furnished. Richmond papers also state that the Federals had occupied Dauphin Island, near Mobile, and predict that they will make it a base for siege operations against that city. The capture of Mobile is confidently predicted at Washington, although it is known that the river defences of the harbour are of peat strength. It is also believed that Farratrut's operations will oblige Hood to send reinforcements to the garrison of the city, thereby creating an important diversion in favour of General Sherman. North Carolina advicea state that the Confede rates are making great exertions to organise their navy in the waters of that State. The ram Albemarle has been greatly strengthened, and now lies at Plymouth under the command of Captain Mafht, formerly of the Florida. Another powerful ram is nearly completed at Edward's Fey, and a large floating battery is being built in the Roanoke river. South Carolina advices to the bth report a heavy bombardment of Fort Sumter and Charleston in progress. The Federal officers placed under fire at Charleston, and the Confederate offioers held under fire on Morris Islaad by General Foster in retaliation, have been exchanged. This releases, on either side, five generals, and forty-five field officers. It is reported that there are now at Andereonville, South Carolina, over thirty thousand Federal pri soners, and that over two thousand died there during the month of June. _ . General Birney recently made a very successful raid into Florida, destroying several bridges and • portion of the railroad between Fernandina and Baldwin. Severslof the New England States arenow vigor ously recruiting, through special agents among the blacks in General Foster's department, to fill their State quotas under the recent call for troops. The Massachusetts agents are said to have already secured a great number of recruits. A plot to capture and destroy Buffalo is said to have been discovered in Canada among the secessionists there. It is said that they have organised a large force for this purpose, and that they also propose to destroy a large portion of the Erie Canal. The Provost-bfarslial of Buffalo announced the discovery of the plot to General Dix, whole reported to have replied that be already knew of the conspiracy, but had no means at his immediate command to prevent its consummation, and that the city must rely for the present for defence upon its local militia. It has been currently reported for some time that, in consideration of the wishes of several pro minent republicans, in addition to the urgent de mands of the democratic masses, General M'Clellan would soon be placed in an important command. The Washington Star (considered an official journal) denies that the administration has been .143 impor tuned, or that it in any way purposes restoring M'Clellan to active service. A M'Clellan mus meeting is to be held in this city this evening, and a great demonstration is Al-. 'rhe Washington correspondent of the New York Times telegraphs as follows : Washington, August 9. A cabinet meeting wu held to-day, at which questions of state policy of mote than ordinary interest and importance were discumd. It is 000fideetly stated by thou who are on intimate political and modal relations with different members of the cabinet, that Secretary Stanton bed re signed, and that the President hen accepted his remignatioe. It ia not, however, positively known that such is the fact. R[LIASE OF PRIIOONERS AT BOICHAEA. —A de spatch received is St. Petersburg endgame that four fereigsers fares Italians and one Frenchman), together with thbtese Ruseide, have been released by the Emir of Bokbara, after haviag bees imprinted for a year. Wham the imprisonment of the four period became known is January last, the Italian government immediately mot an agent, M. Bonhomme, to do what he could in the matter. Provided with bitters from the Sultan, the Viceroy of Egypt, and other Mohammedan sovereigns, M. Boohoo:1ms =idto travel to %khan through India, but was dia. d by the Viceroy, as hie death would have been immured by so doinft, on account of the Emir regarding all Europeans as Englishmen, and entartaining• modal hatred to them. M. Beallomme thee travelled through Persia to Bead, the only country with which the Emir holds regular ; but even in Russia he was advised cot to make the venture, and thus he could oily forward his letters threogh the officials. The letters, however, remained as sawresed, as the Emir is not partial to such means of oda. eadicatioa, and bad only sent ow answer to four letters from the Rainiest commandant at Orenburg. Notwith standisg all these difficulties the prided§ are now liberated, and M. Bonhomme has returned to Italy from St Petersburg. FRANCE. (nom ova OWN Biroanar. The tins* chosen for the loyal Spanish visit was unpropitious ; events at home and abroad and the weather have all conspired to interrupt the harmony of the reception. Queen Christina, who was to have received his Majesty's visit to-morrow at Havre, has been suddenly summoned to P ar i s ; her daughter was taken unexpectedly ill, and to-d ay is dead—" Madame se meurt, Madame eat morte." The question now asked is, will the fetes proceed The Spanish colony stands aloof, and though a con siderable pressure was exercised by government the King of Spain's levee was a failure. The absence in his suite of such a crowd of illustrious country men as would at one time have followed a Spanish monarch to Paris has added to the tameness of the royal exhibition. The democratic party, by means of its chief exponent, draws attention to the troubled state of Madrid, and quite in a philan thropic way considers the probability of Spain passing through a severe political crisis. The Opinion Nationale in a spirited article, which may draw down upon it the sharp claw of the violent inimiest&-- mho wasehes over the fortunes of the French press, comments on all the absurd predictions born of this visit. The King was said to have come here to heal some latent soreness occasioned by divergence of opinion in Mexico. Now that the cure is complete more conquests are to be made across the Atlantic and other kingdoms regenerated for the special benefit of European princelings This is the Quixotic manner in which some papers have been writing. The Opinion declares that France will stand no more Alberoni's nonsense about Latin 'races • her sons care but little to-day f r om w h a t distant stock they come, they only remember that they seethe emancipate d sons of the Constitutional Assembly and the Convention ; wherever men are found who believe in liberty and equality they are the brothers of France. The Hampden and Sidney of England and the Washington and Jefferson of America are dearer than the Spain of all the Alberonis past and present. The iron-plated frigate Valeureuse has just been launched at Brest. With regard to the affair la Bastide de Beesplas, it is stated that during the reading of the act of accusation the two accused men, Latour and Audony, were attentively examined. Latour is dark, and has a hard expression ; his eye is bl ac k and brilliant, and be looked around the court with assuranos. The lower part of his face proj ects, and gives him a menacing air, and be is of middl e height. Audony, nicknamed Hercules, has a large head, forehead, and face; his neck is muscular, and his shoulders broad. He remains nearly always with his arms crossed. His voice is feeble, and contrasts strangely with his powerful frame. The accused listened to the reading of the act, which seeks to throw upon them the culpability of the death of four persons, with great attention. Latour assumed at times an astonished air, as if he was hearing something quite new to him. Audony seldom lifted his eyes, and he was remarked to redden when a description was given of the horrible way in which the bodies of the murdered people had been mutilated. The number of witnesses tobe examined amounts to no lees than 150, and amongst them two sisters of IL de Lasalle, who sobbed aloud when their names were Galled. At mid-day the president with his assistants took his seat, and the boldness of extraordinary session was commenced. Jacques Latour suddenly rose, and demanded of the presi dent that& certain postillion who could give evi dence in his favour should be sent for. The Pro cureur-General took a note' of this request, and then, after a few preliminary questions with regard .to Latour's occupations and whereabouts at different epochs, the judge asked him if he had ever asked say questions with regard to the habits of the inmates of Halliard. " Never. You shall ask your witnesses. I shall examine them (hilarity), and we shall soon see who is in error." The prisoner ad mitted having gone to the chateau to buy a chicken, addressing himself to Pelagie Becheyre, ore of the victims. You went into the chateau to buy the chicken i No, sir, I remained outside. We talked a little together. She told me, laughingly, " Wait, I'll show you a pretty girl of fifteen years old." I said on seeing her, " She has not had them long." She then offered me a chicken, which she let me have for a franc and a half. She asked me where I was going. I said, "By the road," when she told me I had better pass through the garden. It was then she asked me if I was married. I said no. Well, said she, if you would like to be married at ' la Bastide, I have five or six nieces, and you shall have your choice. After this conversation, curious if true, thus re lated by the prisoner, the examination turned upon his previous crimes and accusations. He averted that he was a phenomenon of Providence, who had ordained that he should be brought before the &mires of Ariege to attest his innocence. He acknowledged, after giving a rapid sketch of his life up to the time of his apprehension, his stay in the neighbourhood of Labastule. Q. I am about to ask you an important question. A comb was found on the bed of Raymonde Berge; some of its teeth were broken. The prisoners at Toulouse, where you were confined, state that that comb is yours.—Latour declared that he had never owned such a comb as the one described. After a few more questions which had little bearing on the culpability of the accused, the sitting was suspended. When the judge came back to court the preliminary examination of Audony was com menced. A series of papers addressed by MM. Davanne and Girard to the Academy of Sciences ou the subject of photography, make some curious revelations with regard to the waste of precious metals in the operation. For instance, the silver alone which is employed for photographs in Paris amounts to several millions of franca. Now as only 3 per cent. of the silver employed remains on the photograph, 97 per cent, will continue to be lost unless some method be found for recovering it. MM. Davanne and Girard, who make this startling announcement, propose that plates of copper be put into the argentiferum liquid, whereby in the course of three or four days the silver will be precipitated in a spongy state. Letters from Italy mention the death of another notorious brigand, called Nardini, better known by his sobriquet Formetta. He was shot dead by some soldiers sent to capture him ; his wife at first bewailed his lose, but soon cheered herself with the idea that the late rather unscrupulous agent of a fallen monarch was already in heaven receiving a crown of martyrdom.

[Stamped, Id. Addltionaq RELEGATION OF GENERAL PRIM TO OV lEDO. (azure's airansa.) KAMM, Access M. The Iberia refers in the following terms to what occurred prior to General Prim's departure from Madrid :—Within • few days after the events of the Montana del Principe Pio (the mutiny in the s•boys regiment) General Prim was summoned to the Ministry of War by an aide-decamp. On presenting himself in obedience to this sum mons General Prim was informed that the government would be glad to see him avail himself of the leave of absence for foreign travel which he held. The General replied that he did nut require to travel. The Minister for War then said the government bad deter mined upon his quitting Madrid within twenty four hours, and that he should await orders at Corunna. General Prim protested against such departure without prejudice to his right of subse quently making protest first by memorial to the Queen, and afterwards from Lis place in the Senate. He finally declined leaving Madrid before the 15th inst., and explained his reasons for not accepting Corunna as • place of residence. The Minister expressed his concurrence in what the General had said, but added, " that he should consult his colleagues by telegraph." The reply did not fail to arrive very speedily. It was the 11th instant, and the government could not wait longer than the 13th. The General might select any town be wished except Cataluna, Aragon, Valencia, Logrono, or any other district connected by railway with Madrid. Oviedo was therefore chosen as the place of residence. The Correapondencia de Espana says :—" A re quest was addressed by the Minister of War to General Prim to travel by • different railway route to Oviedo from that announced in the progressist journals. This request has been censured by some who misunderstand the motives by which it was dictated. It was made for one very simple reason. The government knew positively that the progres sista, this time supported by the democrats, had taken measures to make the departure of General Prim one of those political manifestations styled pacific, to which flock not only politicians but the curious, the idle, and all those of whatever class they may be who see in any novelty a di version. GREAT FIRE AT WOOLMER FOREST. LISS, SITIDAT EVINING. An extensive fire occurred in Longinoor incloeure on Wednesday evening,and in its course, which has only just bee. arrested, has rendered a belt of country seven miles in breadth and three in depth a scene of black deso- lation. Hundreds of acres of fir plantations, the property of the government, have been destroyed, besides 'event plantations belonging to private individuals, sad an im mense quantity of game. The fire commenced just below Slesforth gate, to the right of the Petersfield-road. It was observed to break out simultaneously in • dozen different places, and, owing to the dryness of the heath and furze, it spread with alarming rapidity. It was not long before the plantations became • sheet of fire, whisk roared and crackled with ominous fury, sod tinged the sky for miles with a lurid glare, which inspired the belief in distant places that • whole town was in flames, At God aiming, Uuildford, and Aldershot, the fire was plainly MOM and when the authorities of the latter place had ascertained its situation and magnitude, • body of troops, consisting of the 75th sad Bfied Regiments, and a detachment of the Royal Engineers —in all about 1,000 men—were despatched to Woolmer, to dig • trench and employ other military mew for cutting off and subduing the fire. By the time of their arrival, however, the flames bad extended over • vast alas of fir sad lb was evideat that the reduction of the weeded be • work of some time, if not of difficulty. Notwithstanding the active erections of the military, the fire continued to rage duriag Thunday, Friday, and • portion of Saturday leaving little but the blackened embers of thousands of fir trees in core flourishing plantations, and transforming the landscape for • long distance into a dreary and blighted-lookieg wilderness. The fire was evidently the iwork of inceodianes. There is se ooe who ventures • contrary opinion ; end the supposi tion is strengthened by the fact that the gipsies sod broom sellers, who were allowed to gather broom and heath, and to depasture their cattle in the neighbourhood, have this year beers denied those privilegek Some althea' were heard to say that they would be revenged on this account, and the extensive conflagration is pretty generally wandered as the fulfilment of their threat. A considerable number of pumas visited the neighbourhood of the fire to-day, and gazed with no small astonishment upon the scene of wide spread ruin and desolation. At least 1,200 acres of timber in various stages of growth have beets destroyed, and the total value of which cannot at present be estimated, but which must have represented • large sum of money. brma.—The London and Eastlndia Screw Steam Shipping Ompsny's WOW steamer Lady Jogslye, Captain Stewart, left Plymouth on Saturday afternoon for Madras and Calcutta.

It appears that Mr. T. G. Owens, of Leedom, bad undertaken to deliver, in the Prince of Wales's Assembly-Booms, a course of three lectures on " Bible Truths and Roguish Errors." The first was delivered on Tuesday evening, and efforts was then made by a number of Roman catholic, to seise the lecturer, whose life they had threatened. They were foiled by a few friends of Mr. Owens, who secured hie escape by a aide entrance to the hall. On Wednesday night, however, soon altar 7 o'clock, while Mr. Owens was lecturing " lodulgeocies," • large number of Roman catholice, many of them armed with blndgeons, collected at the doors of the lecture ball, and commenced yel ling end hooting. They were aided and urged on by between twenty and thirty women. After crest ing immense uproar outside, they smashed the wiudows of the ball by throwing stones through them, while some of the women yelled " Fire, fire !" The audi ence, many of whom were ladies, now became greatly alarmed. Mr. Owens did all that lay is his power to pre vent a panic He stood opal the platform, end was in the set of entreating all to keep their seats when • large stone was thrown with great force through the window directly opposite to hint. Upon this he quickly gathered no hh books and papers, sod took refuge in • small room at the end of the hall. Thither he was followed by all who failed to make their escape by the frost entrance. The proprietor of the hall then extinguished the lights, and Mr. Owens and between 30 and 40 of the audience remained primers in this anteroom. As the most serious consequences to life and property were now apprehended, more policemen were ordered to the place. A large number of the inhabitants also came forward and watched the ringleaders closely. Efforts were made to cap ture two or three of the most waive, bat without moms. The Homan catholic*, seeing the dames by which they were surrounded, awed to yell, and, upon • signal being given, formed in proemial and marched along the street hootiag and cheering. Os Thursday morning Mr. Owens and other perms waited upon the lieutetautgoveroot of the island (Major-General Burke Coppage), at Govern. meet Hones This led to an interview with the bailiff (Mr. .1, Hammond) end the °Pourable or mayor of the Lowe (Mr. John Gibant).

Shortly before 7 o'clock on Thursday evening at least 500 peens collected in frost of the Assembly-rooms, expect. tog admierioa to Mr. Omen's third lasture. That gentle. man arrived ea 7 o'clock ; but the proprietor of the rooms (Mr. Mom) determinedly refused to apse the door, and Mr. Owens *Tatman) left greatly dimatalled, but not before he had addressed the seeemblege outside. A few mantle after he left, the constable of the pariah, who was accompanied by a strong force of the bosomy and paid police, arrived, and ordered that the lesture-ball should be thrown open. This was instantly dose. He then asked for the lecturer, and on being informed that he had jai left because he could not obtain admindos, directed menespie to go in search of him and bring hint as soon es parable.

The following official report has been made to the Board of Trade relative to the stranding of the Commit steamer : My Lords,-1 have the honour of reporting, for the information of Jour lordships, that, in conjunction with Captains Harris and Baker, I have bald an inquiry, as directed by the Board of Trade, into the ciecumstauces of the stranding of the steamship Cossack, on the Sviiiboes Shoal, is the Kettept, on the 9th of May last. The Cossack is an iron screw steamer of 871.58 ton, and 90. horse power, built at Hull in 1859, the owner. being Meows. Bailey and Leathern, of that plies. She left Hull Docks oo May 5 for Croestedt, sod anchored in the River Humber, being et that time commanded by Fred. Horatio Ford (holding a certificate of competency, dated 21at of June, 1853), and had on board a general oargo chiefly cotton, of about 600 t one , 70 or 80 tons o f coals 'and 43 bales of cotton being on desk. Her crew num , bored 21 all told, and there was one passenger on board. When in the river she wu.swoug, and her alto compares were adjusted She lay in the river all night, opposite the citadel, but some accident having occurred to her anchors she returned to dock on the 6th. and finally proceeded on her voyage on the evening of the same day, passing the Spurn Light about 10 o ' c l oc k p. m . Nothing of moment occurred prior to the 9th, though it would seem that the accuracy of her compasses (the card of dei istiou of which is shown to have been given to Captain Ford) is proved by the bearings taken ofEihertkilmfits, Bartacball, Skew, and Knobbio Lights. At 10'30 p.m. the Kellam Light bon E. by N., supposed dietetics about four or five miles, which war not verified by either a cross bearing or a cast of the lead. The course up to this time appears to bare been S. 4 E., lied was then altered to S. by E. 2 E Whilst going on this course, at • speed . of eight knots per hour, about 11.30 p.m., the weather puts calm, the Cosear.k struck on the Swabian Shoal, her lying, immediately after striking, S. or S. 4 E.., and the Kam Light bearing N., while Nekke Lights bore W. J N., and Elainore Light was seen immediately after she bad struck, right ahead. After passing the Konen it is not asserted that the bearing of any of the lights was takes till after she struck, nor was there any recourse to heaving the lead, though it is stated that • haze bong over the land, which made it appear further off than it really was. Looking at the position of the vessel when abreast of the Kullen, with a navigation before her beset with difficulty, I can suggest no excuse for neglecting to take the bearings of the lights, nor forthe omission to heave the lead. The adoption of either of these precau tions would have at owe pointed out to the captain the positiau of his vessel, and would have enabled him to avoid the dangers before him. It would seem, however, that no precaution was taken, and almost as if the captain had trusted to the deceptive judgment of the eye alone to determine his distance from the shore. Under these cir cumstances, that the Cossack was not totally lost most not be attributed to any vigilance on the part of the captain previous to the stranding, but must be comaidered to have boon the accidental result of the weather being very fine, and the proximity of the appliance that enabled the captain to save part of the cargo, and get his ship off the shoe! before she was broken up ; the stranding having, beyond all question, oocurred in coussquence of a neglect of many of the precau tions that ordinary prudence would have dictated. I find, therefore, that Captain Ford was guilty of default, and that the grimed' of defence met up—namely, an unlooked-for deviation from her course owing to defect; in the compass', a set of the current, and a list in the venal—are wholly untenable, and entirely at variance with the evidence ad duced. It is fair to state that the steps taken, after the vessel was aground, for the preservation of the cargo and the ship, appear to have beep judicious, and it is no doubt owizg to the having procured steam pumps from Copenhagen and the other appliances used (u detailed in the evidence) that the Cossack was saved from sinking. I have thought it my duty (with the economises of the useenors) to scispeod the Impieties certificate for six months from this date, and I have now the honour of placing it at your lordships posaL —1 have, dm, T.

ATTACK AND DEFENCE OF WOOLWICH DOCKYARD. —On Saturday afternoon some interesting volunteer evolu tions were ranted oat is the shape of an attack and deism* of Woolwich Dockyard, in accordance with a programme which bad been paWrMd. The attacking foroi was the 2ocilFasez Artillery, with the Woolwich Arsenal Rifts', whilst the defenders of the dockyard consisted of the bat talion of volunteer artillery belonging to that establishment, comprising six batteries. The tint divisions of picked gun ners were employed in defending the Whets battery of four guns on the dockyard wharf, the second and third divisions being stationed on the right end left of the battery, and the fourth stationed in the rear as a reserve. The garble Fiegard. and the seamen and marbles attached to that ship, also took part in the evolutions, and an attempt to land in gunboats was repelled in the first instance, but, under cover of the . guns of the ship they succeeded in landing, and in d riving the enemy from the works, but submquently, the defeedere rallying, drove the assailants from their position, forcing them to monthark cm board their gunboats, ultimately compelling them, as well es the Engird, to retire out of danger.
