Tim Africa brings news from New York to Thursday evening, the 18th of August. The official report of Admiral FARRAGET of his exploits at Mobile had been published, and there can be no doubt of the importance of his victory. One gun boat, the Morgan, had succeeded in running up to the city, but the rest of the Confederate fleet had been annihilated. Fort Gaines, on Dauphin Island, whichguarded the western extremity of the principal entrance into Mobile harbour, had surrendered with its garrison of 800 men and provisions for twelve months. Fort Powell, which guarded the entranm into the bay between Dauphin Island and the mainland, had been blown up and evacuated, but the Federals bad captured no fewer than eighteen guns which were ready for service. It is said, indeed, by the Richmond papers that Colonel CHARLES ANDERSON, who surrendered Fort Gaines, had been guilty of treachery. But it is tolerably clear that he could not have held out for many days. Fort Gaines being situate on the eastern extremity of Dauphin Island, Colonel AN DRAWN, by the surrenderof Fort Powell, and by the advance of the Federal fleet within the bay, was completely investe4, whilst the troops under Ge neral Gassoce. on Dauphin Island would very soon have worked up to the edge of the ditch and carried the fort. But however this may be, it is clear that the Great S wash passage between Fort Gaines, on Dauphin Island, and Fort Morgan, and GRANT'S pan between the island and the main land, are in the hands of the Federals, so that the citizens of Mobile must derive their supplies from some other source than the blockade runners. Nor is this all. According to the latest accounts General Ge.a.vcr.a was about to land his troops on the east side of Fort Morgan, so as to invest that work. This will not be difficult, for it stands on the end of a spit of sand nearly twenty miles long, which in some places is not three-quarters of a mile broad. Nothing grows there, but the tide runs up creeks and fills a great bayou which abounds in oysters. There is no hope of any aid from the sea or of Faaaaccr's fleet being driven oft, and the position of Fort Moigan is such as to afford peculiar facilities for investment. If General GRANGER'S attack succeeds, the whole of the Mexican Gulf will at once fall into the hands of the Federals, whilst the 32 ships and 231 heavy guns which compose FARRAOCT'S fleet will be free to operate in any other quarter. It is difficult to understand how Admiral Faasac t - v will be able to occupy the city of Mobile without a considerable laud force, but after the capture of Fort Morgan the troops under General GRANGER will be free to unite with whatever troops can be spared in the neighbourhood of Pensacola, and will be able to advance against the city from the east or from the west ; nor will there be much dif ficulty in isolating it from the rest of the Coufe• deracy. SHERMAN is still before Atlanta. According to Confederate reports the Federal had made two assaults upon the Confederate left, both of which bad been repulsed. But SHERMAN still persists in his operations ; for he is said tobe within one mile of the Macon road, and to be manoeuvring with the view of more closely investing the city. A vain attempt seems to have been made by WHEELRR'S cavalry to obtain possession of Dalton, in Saes- NAN'S rear, but they are said to have been beaten off. It was supposed at one time that the army of General HOOD was about to be largely reinforced from the army of General Lan, but as yet these pre dictions have not been fulfilled. The only reinforce manta which have reached HOOD'S army have been composed of Georgia militia. Considering the losses which the Confederate army has sustained since General HOOD assumed the command, it is certain that some rein:orcements were absolutely re quisite. According to an official report of the Federal General Looses, the Confederates on the 22nd of July left 3,000 men dead on the field. So that their en tire loss could not have been much less than 10,000 men, whereas the total loss of the Federals was only 2,521 men and 10 guns. It can scarcely be supposed that the last of the Georgia militia who have been summoned to Atlanta will be able to cope with the Federal veterans in the field, but no doubt they will be of considerable service in fulfilling duties which may be performed by undisciplined men, and will thus be the means of restoring to the ranks a con siderable number of soldiers who would other wise be detached on non-combatant duty. There can be do doubt that since General Hoop assumed the command he has displayed great courage and great readiness, and up to the latest accounts he had succeeded in preventing Sum- MAN from investing Atlanta. Throughout the present civil war the value of detached forts has received. constant illustration. The attempt to assault entrenchments has always failed. Both GRANT and SHERMAN have succeeded in turning fortified positions, but when a place such as Atlanta or Petersburg has been supplied for any length of time, and when, therefore, it became necessary to invest it, both these generals have THE ‘ VXRAESS, MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST t 9, 1884. found their progress arrested. t Indeed, VII is the only fortified plarej tabu during tl _ _ and that was done only after it wee invested. Turning to Virginia, it appears that the re sources of that most determined officer, General Glue; are not yet exhausted. His army had in fact been divided into two forces. Four corps at least had been transferred to the Upper Potomac, to operate in the Shenandoah Valley against General Esaxy. On the 11th, EARLY evacu ated Winchester, which is some thirty-five miles .oath-west of Harper's Ferry, and retired to wards Straaburg. He was followed by SHERIDAN. Since then, however, it seems that EARLY has been reinforced, and that he has again advanced, whilst SHERIDAN is said to have retreated again to Winchester. It would seem, therefore, that neither aide is anxious to bring on a general engagement unless the attack can be made with a manifest superiority of numbers. It is said that EARLY has been strongly reinforced by General LEE, and that he meditates an invasion of Maryland in great force. This perhaps may serve to account not only for the retreat of SHERIDAN, but for the re gumption of activity on the part of General Gsayr. So long as that officer remained quietly in his lines in front of Petersburg, he left General Lea free to use his army in the Shenandoah Valley. But General GRANT is not the man to remain long inactive. As soon, therefore, as he found that General LEE had detached a considerable force northward, he sent two corps across the James River, attacked the Confederates who lay on the eastern aide of that river, and defeated them with the loss of 500 men and 7 guns. He is now said to occupy a position within six miles of Richmond. It is to be observed that the lines to be held by the Confederates are very extensive. They extend from Petersburg, some twenty miles south of Richmond, to a point on the north bank of the James River about six miles south of that city, and nearly opposite Fort Dar ling. Now General GRANT holds both sides of the James River. He is therefore in a position to fall upon any part of the Confederate lines where the defenders may for the moment be few in number, and he may thus succeed in carrying the point before reinforce ments can be brought up. In this respect, there fore, GRANT, by his command of the James River, may be said to be acting on interior lines. It re mains to be seen whether GRANT will succeed in forcing himself between Richmond and Petersburg, but at all events it appears that he is de termined to harass his adversary by attacks first upon one and then upon the other side of the James River, so as to render it difficult, if not im possible, for General Les to detach the bulk of his army either to reinforce EARLY in the Shenandoah I Valley or to reinforce HOOD at Atlanta. ebt Com.

Master Joffrhs, charged with Latour's defence, of course gave a very different account of his client, and in many instances he sucoeeded in excul pating him. He showed Latour a hard-working man, gaining in a few years 3,000 fr., and first get ting into trouble for defending his brother. Latour had never had the chance of spending this money, and hence the sum found in his possession when he was arrested. Had be been the chief instigator of the crime at Labastide he would surely have been entitled to more than 1,700 fr. out of the large sum stolen, and 1,700 fr. was the amount he had when caught. That Latour sought to hide himself from justice was only natural when he knew that jus tice was pursuing him for other matters. The crime was committed at 11 one night, and the next morning, after having partaken of the fruits of the murder, Latour was at Mauran, 33 kilometres from Labastide. There was no blood on his clothes ; the prosecution says he changed them, but there is no one to prove this. The comb and the pencil which were found might easily have belonged to M. de Lasalle—the one was broken, the other cheap, and both accorded with his miserly habits, and everything else in the chateau. Latour is accused of stealing a necklace, and yet the person robbed cannot say if the necklace which was found with the prisoner is the one which she last. Latour is accused of robbing GO francs, and when it is asked if he was condemned, the reply is that proceedings were stopped on amount of poli tical events. The Procureur-Glitmiral had told the jury that shreds of flax united at length formed • cable, but Master Joffres would answer in his turn that they might heap up as many zeros as they liked, and they would never form a quantity. The pleading of a promising young barrister, so we learn by telegraph, was of no avail—Latour has been found guilty, and sentenced to death. Audouy has been also declared guilty, but with ex tenuating circumstanoes, and sentenced to hard labour for life. Latour still protests his inno cence, and when sentenced again cried " Vive l'Empereur !" The finding by the jury has given some surprise, for the evidence was most meagre, and there is considerable doubt here at all events with regard to the guilt of Hercules, although there was some very nasty evidence ad duced against him. He was defended in a clever manner by Master Laborde, and it was remarked that when he had termin►ted Latour leaned towards him and complimented him. Seldom per haps has a man been condemned to death on such slight circumstantial evidence ; there was hardly a single complete link in the whole chain. It was not without reason that the Procureur•Giindral ap , pealed to the jury to make a display of courage ; they have done so, one or both men may be guilty, but sufficient proof was wanting for a conviction, and for each action a very plausible reason was given. MEETING OF DELEGATES FROM SLESWIG HOLSTEIN TOWNS.

We join unreservedly in the thanks expressed to the valiant German troops whose victorious arms have secured the complete separation of Sleawig-Holstein from Denmark, and we recognise according to our thorough conviction, the necessity of an alliance of the united Duchies with Germany, upon condition that this alliance shall be formed without prejudice to the autonomy of the Duchies, and further, so far as the interests of Germany require, the necessity of an alliance with Prussia. On the other hand. we cannot in any way consider the installation of an interim goyernmeet a fit means for at taining the desired end. We fear rather lest such an ar rangement should uselessly retard and compromise the unanimously desired regulations of the bane and foreign relations of the country. . . .

DREADFUL MURDER THROUGH JEALOUSY. -{THIS DAY.) This morning, between the hours of 1 and o'clock, a murder was committed in Croce-street, Hattoc. poet, the murderer being a man of the name of l 4 Wilkinson, aged 29, a stonemason's labourer, residing at Crose-stgeet ; and the nofortunate victim his wife, • woman of prepossessing appearance, residing at the sere address. It appears that this morning, between the hums G- I sod 2, a fearful row took place in the apartments will e d by the prisoner, his wife, and another lodger. Very Leary blow, and kicks were heard, and the police were fetche I a s Murder "wen celled. On Police•oonetable Cock, tering the room, be found the deceased woman lying on !te floor. She bad been attended by Dr. Gibsoo, who ealil death bad been caused from the combined effect of kick, blows on the stomach. It would appear that yesterday some friends of lett parties called tomes them and spent the day with them. Ic the evening they all partook of a little drink, but note ~ f them got intoxicated. Shortly before the departure of tLe last train on the Metropolitan Railway the deceased athl Lk, husband went to see their friends off. Before they Flak:. one of the men kissed the deceased. This seemed very much to annoy and exasperate the prisoner, who and threatened her in a most dreadful moor-r, and it is stated that whilst standing in the Fsr. ringdonsroad he struck his wife in the Being fearful that she should be still further ill-used beaten if she stayed there, the unfortunate woman rata:,.-.1 home, and telling one of the female lodgers that she a , afraid the prisoner would injure her, asked if she ri.i4L: sleep with the lodger until morning, when she thought Ler husband's wrath would be appeased. Her with was C 0,.. plied with, and both women retired to rest. As lrefo% stated, the husband returned borne shortly after 1 o'clo,s, and finding that his wife wee not in his room, he culled her. He then went into the lodger's room, and findine Lis wife in bed, swore at her, and pulled her out with great r : knee. The prisoner then knocked and kicked herseversl in the stomach, and although the lodger, a female of tLI name of Collins, did all she could to prevent him, he wai too strong for her, and breaking away from her koa::- 1 his wife down and whilst she was on the ground he ind r!. I a moat fearful kick in her stomach, The poor wools:, who had previously called " murder !" said to her husbatel, " lon have now given me my death blow," rolled over, and fell inmensible. She never spoke more, and the pri Boner, who then appeared very sorry, went out and fetched a surgeon. When he returned he was taken into custody. At that time the prisoner appeared uif he LI been drinking a little, but not to such an extent but t! he knew what he was about. Inspector Potter, of the 0 division, has now taken cbuz., of the body and room, and as there is a large mob persons sasembled around the house police are statiune I there to keep the mob back.

The unhappy imbecile, James 13eckingham, wh, was found crouching on the floor at the time the stalk; dieuvery of the two dead bodies was made, is sited to be gradually sinking. He is under the care of two medics! men, sad hie life is only prolonged by stimulanta. When the possum who die:crewed the deceased women the front room on Friday night went into the adjoining apartment, they saw Rockingham lying on the floor and trembling. When he perceived them he crawled at nun underneath the bed obviously to swaps. He was in • state of extreme terror, and was noticed to be considerably pals and more cadaverous-looking than the corpse of his wife, which lay within • couple of yards of him. The peop!e who were present immediately proceeded to get him from under the bed, but this we. found to be • task of no little difficulty,. as be struggled with all his strength, and appeared to be in • state of desperation. He wee, however, got out sad dressed, for he was clad only in his shirt. Although there is no reason to doubt the accuracy of his statement to those that found him that be had not eaten food for three days, nearly whole loaf leg bread was fouled in another ream on the sun floor. The bread was hard, and had not been cut for et least two day.. _ . . The cops; jugs, and other vessels found in the cottage ham been carefully examined for the dregs of poises. AL of them were found to be covered with deist, and nothing suspicioua wan discovered. The occurrenos is made more inexplicable by the fact the' Mrs. Mary Axe Gribbin, the wows who is supposed to hare died first, did not live in the cottage—she wm only oo s visit to her sister at the time at bee death. She was the widow of a musician, sod she resided in lodgings is Amadei-street, Bethsal-gruso.

CONCLUSION OF THE TRIAL FOR MURDER.—VERDIOT AND SENTENCE. (nom ova owa couseromorr.) PARIS, SUNDAT Evaora. In the Labastide affair we have now the different pleadings and the condemnation. On the 23rd and 24th of the mouth the Procureur-Giniral occupied himself with Jacques Latour, leaving the other prisoner to be dealt with by the Procureur-Im periaL K L6o Dupr6, in a speech highly spoken of by the French press, pressed the conviction of the culprit against whom he appeared as if it were more necessary some one should be punished for the crime at the Château Ballard than that the entire truth should be brought to light. Either the court at Poi: is dealing with a farce most skil fully played, or else the two men charged with the four murders never knew each other. On the last day of the examination of witnesses Audony was again appealed to to acknowledge his guilt and give the names of his accomplices. Angry recri min►tions passed between him and Latour, and even then Latour joined his voice to that of the judge and called on Audouy to speak the troth boldly. All that poor Hercules could answer was that he only wished he had been present when the crime was committed, as then he would have been able to point out the assassins. No proof has been brought forward that Latour and Andouy ever met, and the latter more than once repeated that he would have been sorry to have mixed in society with such a man as Monsieur Latour, as he persisted in calling him. Now all who have followed the trial, and are ac quainted with the incidents of the murder, are convinced that three or four men were engaged in it. If the two prisoners be really guilty, one or two more are wanting to make up the number ; and if only one was present, then the mystery is greater still. The Procureur-General upheld the act of accusation, arguing that everything which had been put forward by the crown had been proved satisfactorily in court, and that the criminal life of Jacques Latour only needed murder to render its villany complete. BL Ldo Duptsi thus terminated Lis remarks, which are said to have been listened to with grim admiration by Latour, just as one clever reasoner listens to another: " I have finished," cried the Procureur, "my sketch of this monster. When I have him before my eyes accompanied by his cortege of crimes he oppresses me. It is time that be should disappear in the gulf. . . . You have nothing to do with what the law may command. We hope that your firmness will rise to the level of your duties. I invite you to be firm. Yesterday you were the servants of the law, to-day you are its dispensers. This law obliges you to defend society in exchange foe the oath which you have taken. The strong character of the inhabitants of your country is well known," &c.; and when the Procureur sat INQUEST (THIS DAY).
