Tux fuller accounts which have just arrived from America confirm the original impres. lion that General MlCl.m.r.aiv has suffered a serious defeat. The causes of thrt disaster are sufficiently apparent. But although its causes and its effects are not likely to be underrated among the Southern sympathisers in this country, there is an evident disposition to consider this single defeat as fatal to the Federal cause. The shallow reasonings which possessed men's minds after the 'Bull Run panic seem destined to possess them once more ; and although sensation writers may hesitate to proclaim that the Northerners " have "lost their military honour," still it is to be ex pected that they will proclaim the cause of the North now at least irretrievably lost. Those who insist that the Northerners have no heart in the struggle will no doubt be surprised to hear " there is not a shadow of feeling on the part " of the press or the people in favour of relin " quishing the struggle," but that, on the con trary, a new levy of 300,000 men has been sanc tioned by President LINCOLN ; whilst those who understand the real question at issue and the ab solute necessity of permanently settling that ques tion, will readily perceive that a single defeat, though it be the defeat of the chief army of the North, ought not to induce them to patch up a peace which could last but a few mouths. To any impartial observer it must be abundantly clear that peace is, at the present moment, utterly impossible. The test as to whether this be true or not is sufficiently obvious. Assume for a moment tbil existence of a truce, and let any man accept in imagination the office of arbitrator. Let him draw up the terms of peace. There is to be secession. There are to be two separate Confederacies. The bowidolas betwee 4 these must be settled, but how en they to be settled f Which are the bonier States, and hot, is the will of these States to be ascertained t Is it to be by popular vote, or is the present condi tion of things to determine the boundary t Is the Miesiesippi to belong to the Confederates or to the Federals t Is New Orleans to be evacuated or retained t Is Maryland, in the very heart of Northern territory, filled as it is with a horde of aristocratic secessionists, to be joined with the North or with the South t Arbitration or peace is possible before war has commenced, or when one of the parties has been sufficiently beaten. But the struggle in America has kindled the utmost rancour between the North and tie South, whilst, at the present moment, the North, which unques tionably possesses the most power and the =jet ample resources, has suffered a defeat. If there ever was a time at which peace was impossible it is the present. Nor does the defeat of M'CLaurres army faci litate matters. It now seems clear that a series of battles took place between Thursday, the 26th, or Friday, the 27th of June, and Tuesday, the lit of July. On the 27th the Confederate army, which is said to have greatly out-numbered that of M'Cxxuart, fell upon his right wing, and took 25 pieces of artillery. The truth is that }MALIAN was operating upon too extended a line. His right extended to the Pamunkey River, his left seems to have extended towards the James River ; to this we should add that the River Chickahominy runs right through his army. The right wing does not ap pear to have been able to fall back to wards the left, because behind the right was an enormous masa of supplies in the Pamunkey River, which had to be protected. On the other hand, the left could not go to aid the right, because that would have compelled them to abandon their posi tion between the Chichahominy and the James River, where the gunboats were, and where also there were large supplies. The result was that the Confederates were enabled to pour their enor mous manses upon a separate corps of the Federal army, which could neither retreat nor be assisted by the arrival of fresh troops. As soon, however, as the stores in rear of the right flank had been cleared away from the Pamunkey River, the remainder of the right wing was with drawn to the rear of the left flank. Now the whole Federal army seems to be posted: on the south-east side of Richmond, its left flank protected by the James River, its right flank by the Chickabominy, its rear being towards the James River. It is true that the Federals are in possession of the James River, and that any number of reinforcements and of stores can be brought by sea, but it must be, admitted that a general does not select from choice a position in which his only line of retreat is on board his transports. At the same time it must be observed that the Federal& are now engaged in throwing up entrenchments, and that they rely for protec tion to a considerable degree on their gun boats. The probability, therefore, is that they will only occupy this position until they receive reinforcements and are able to reassume the offensive. Though the raw levies from Washington may be scarcely equal to the severe task of as saulting the entrenchments around Richmond, still they may be well able to occupy ground already won. The men under BURNBLDF, /harm, Bur- LIB" and Ilnixzcx, or a certain proportion of them, may be sent to reinforce the army of M'Cxxxx&w. On the other hand, it is probable that the Confederates collected every man upon whom they could lay hands before delivering the great battle between the 27th of June and the beginning of July. Successful as they have been, that success must have been purchased at great sacrifices. The important question now in, which of the two par ties can recruit their exhausted strength moat rapidly. It is idle to make a comparison between the resources of the North and those of the South. The Northern army, no doubt, has been driven a few miles back from Richmond, but if its leaders are still determined, this forced retreat can but delay the final catastrophe. The presence of 50,000 new troops of the North is all that is re quired in order to renew the struggle. It would be absurd to suppose that such a number can not be supplied within the space of a few weeks. Those who look for any other result grievously mistake the character of the American people. TOT IN' (Oh. . . Orsonat iscanwal.) • • PARIS, JOLT N._ The Moniteur of this morning publishes intelli gence from Vera Cruz to the 15th, and from Ori zaba to the 11th ult. The French troops still occupied the same position, and the state of their health was very good. _ _ General Douai arrived at Orizaba on the 10th with 45 waggons, proceeding on the 11th to take the command at Cordova. Upon the Bth a second convoy, with provisions for 25 days, left Vera Cruz. Twenty of the waggons were captured by the Mexicans. On the 15th General Marquez, with 1,500 men, arrived at Vera Cruz, from Orizaba, and was preparing to depart to join General Loreneez. The health of the fleet was excellent. The Guerriere and Iphigenie, with 300 sailors, were expected hourly. The Moniteur also contains the following intel ligence from Cochin-China : The government of Hue has accepted the ulti matum of General Boner!. Two plenipotentiaries, with a suite of 133 persona, have arrived at the French camp to learn the con ditions of peace.

" 9 AMERICA. THE LATE BATTLES. • The Canadian screw steamer Jura, Capt. Alton, from Quebec on the sth instant, and which called off Cape Raoe on the Bth instant, has arrived at Liverpool. The Jura called off Londonderry yesterday, anl a summary of her news was telegraphed from thence. The latest papers received by her are New York, July 3 ; Portland, July 4 ; and Quebec, July 5. The following telegrams refer to the fighting be fore Richmond : F0R1117.83 Mimeo; JULY I.—A gunboat has just arrived here from the scene of action yesterday, ten miles above City Point. A division of our army has been fighting four days, and has retreated about 17 miles. The fight of yesterday was moat terrific, the enemy hay lag three to one. The battle commenced with our land forces, and after about four hours' fighting our gunbo►ts got in range and poured into the rebels a heavy and increment fire. This fire the rebels stood about two hours and then retreated. Our troops have captured, sotwith. standing their dimadvaritages, a number of artillery pieces and 2,0C3 prisoners. Among the prisoners captured is the rebel General Magruder. The place where this last action took place is Turkey Creek. The retreat of the rebels, last evening, was with great disorder and their lam has been very heavy, much greater it is thought than ours. There is nothing definite, however, in regard to lone& In the retreat forced upon General M'Clellan by the superior numben of the enemy, I learn th►t he had to spike his siege guar and leave them on the field, after herniate the carriages. The nature of the ground rendered it impossible to move them. Ice the retreat many of our sick and wounded were necessarily left behind. There are, of course, innumerable reports and rumours here, but I seed only what appears authentic. New Yona, JULY 3.—The New York Times correirpondest states that General lL'Clsllan eetablished his head-quarters on Mooday,oa Malvern Hills, one mile beck of Turkey Island Bend. At 2 o'clock on Monday evening firing was licked for two hoar, in the direction of White Oak Swamp, where Ayres was holding the rebels in check who were attempting to cross. An immense force of rebel artillery and cavalry, fresh from Richmond, then appeared on our left, when Porter and Keyes' commands went to assist the artillery. A most terrific fight ensued, and it became evident that the overpowering force of rebels was gaining, when the gun. boats Galena sod Aristook opened with their 54-poinders upon the traitors. The fight continued until dark, dimi nishing away into occasional musket shot. About 10 in the evening Prince de Joinville, Hake de Chartres, and Count de Paris left the head-quarters. They embarked on board the gunboat Jacob Bell, with official despatches from General fd`Clellan to the government. General M'Clellan accompanied them to the boat, and bade them a final adieu. When the Jacob Bell left all was quiet along the river. New Pone, JULY 3.—The New York Times has detailed reports of the battle of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, from which it appears that the right wing of our army, about 20,000 men, was attacked on Friday by a rebel force of not less than 50,000; and, after a gallant fight, our troop; crossed the Chiekshominy in order. On Saturday night and Monday our whole left wing, under Generals Heintzelman, Keyes, and Sumner, fell rock along the lines of railroad and Williammberg.road, and marched to James River. The rebels crossed the Chickahominy in great force on Sun day, reaching the railroad, but made no pursuit, remaining, however, in possession of the ground previously occupied by our troops on both sides of the Chiokahominy, including the bridges and earthworks we had erected against their approaches. All our store, were withdrawn in good order, without much loss. Of cause there was tremendous fighting during these move ments, and heavy loss on both sides. WASHINOTON, Jccv 3, 12 Noon. —A despatch from General M'Clellan has just bees received at the War Department, dated from Berkley, Harrison's Bar, July 2, 5.30 p.m. He states that he has succeeded in getting his army to that place on the banks of James River. He had lost but one gun, which had to be abandoned last night (Tuesday) because it broke down. An hour and a half ago the rear of the waggon train was Within a mile of camp, and only one waggon was aban doned. We had • wavers battle yesterday (Tueeday) and beat the enemy badly, the men fighting even better than before. The men are in good spirits. The re inforcements sent from Washington have arrived. General Pope's army, we have been informed, some days ago received rations of that kind which betoken a hasty and forced march. Pope, we may believe, therefore, is on his way to Richmond. More troops will be ordered from the west, and some are already on the way, if they have not already arrived at points from whence they can be quickly despatched to the peninsula. Nothing but battle deapatches will be sent out to-morrow during the hours mentioned in a previous despatch. Fon Monitor., ler. —The loss of the enemy in killed and wounded on Monday is not less than 4,000, but nothing definite on the subject has been obtained. General Shield's army arrived this morning, and proceeded up James River. WASHINGTON, Ore.—The Richmond Examiner of July 2 gives the following relating to the battle of Monday :—" On Sunday morning Generals Hill and Loogstreet, with their divisions, crossed the Chickahominy, and late on Monday afternoon attacked the enemy about five miles north east of Harleyton, on the Newmarket road. The conflict was terrible, and by &30 p.m. the enemy bad been driven back a mile and • half. At hailed 9, the enemy being reinforced, they made another stand. The loos here on the Confederate lade was terrible, the situation being hopeless against each over whelming forces. General Hill slowly retired, and at the same moment, seeing their adversary retire, the most voci ferous cheers arose from the whole Yankee lines. The fight ended here for the night." The Examiner says it thinks the division which went into the fight on Friday 14,000 strong could only number 6,000 men for duty on Tuesday, and that the loss of life exceed' that of any battle or series of battles yet fought. The Examiner says Jackson's and Hughes's divisions at tacked M'Clellan's left flank on the west side of the Chickahominy, 17 miles from Richmond, and later in the day Magruder fell on his right flank. The fighting was going on until Tuesday night. Heavy firing was heard from the gnnboats in James River on Tuesday morning. A number of transports are in the river, with reinforcements from Burnside, but they have rot yet landed. . _ The above exiracta from the Examiner relate to Tues day's battle, in which General l'Clellan's despatch said the enemy were badly beaten. Advicee received at the War Department show that there was no fighting on the peninsula up to 5.30 p.m. A Memphis despatch of the 30th of June says Despatches from Colonel Fitch, dated St. Charles, Arkansas, the works of which place he stormed, ask forth that General Curtis's division is at Batesville, on short rations, and without provender for horses or mules, besides suffering from sickness. General Hindman is menacing him with a large force, ►nd unless commissary and other stoves reach him soon, his troops will be rendered incapable of duty by starvation. A regiment was nailed for, and trans. ports with provisions and provender. Colonel Fitch pro poses to give the troops a share of active service, having in view a very important movement upon the enemy. Commodore Farragut has arrived with nine vessels above Vicksburg. He paused through a very severe fire from 30 or 40 of the Coufederate The Grenada Appeal of the 27th ult. says every preparation that military science could suggest has been made at Vicksburg, and that city will be de fended to the last. A special despatch to the Appeal is u follows : VICKSBURG, Jove 22.—Porter's mortar meet opened on the lower batterke yesterday 'hansoms, and ceased statures o'clock.

The Treasury Note Bill was passed by a vote of 33 to 13, with the follow ing amendments :—Reserving 75,000,000 dole. for payment of deposits ; authorising notes to be paid in coin at the option of the Secretary of the Trea sury ; and limiting the number of small notes to 25,000,000 dole. In the House of Representatives, on the same day, the Speaker presented a message from the President, recommending a vote of thanks to Captain Foote and others for gallant services. The thanks of Congress were voted to Commodores Farragnt and Goldsborough, and Lieut. Words; of the Monitor, for their gallant conduct, dtc. The proceedings in both houses on the 3rd were of no importance. Confederate guerillas were said to be actively at work in Kentucky and Tennessee. A Baltimore telegram of the 3rd says :—" The steamer Daniel Webster has arrived with wounded, but we are not allowed to telegraph names." A despatch from Corinth says : Eight or ten regiments of 'meshy, under General Maw ben, attacked General Sheridan's advanced guard about two miles mouth of Boonville, at 3 o'clock yesterday morn ing. Our companies made a most brilliant charge on the enemy. rear. About half-pant 3 o'clock the rebels com menced retreating, but Sheridan, owing to his small force, was unable to pursue. A Louisville despatch reports that a captured Federal soldier had been hung by General Mitchell's troops in Georgia. President Lincoln had issued a proclamation, ordering taxes to be collected in the insurrectionary states. The Canadian news possesses but little interest. The Governor-General had been on a visit to Mon- trod, where he waseaketained at a grand banquet, &e., and a review took place in his honour. Loyal addresses were also presented. After visiting Ladinee Rapids and Three Rivers he would return to Quebec. (Commercial news anticipated by the Londonderry telegram.) OPINIONS OF THE "NEW YORK TIMES." The New York Times of the 3rd has the following : We have at last full reports of the recent movements in I front of Richmond. We are sorry to say they do not sus. taro fully the encouraging interpretation which the public sought to put upon the brief announcement that our right wing bad been attacked, and had withdrawn to the other side of the Chiekabominy. We have now no room to doubt that our army has met with a very serious reveres, and that it is in a condition of peril which, if not imminent, at least calls for the instant and energetic efforts of the government and the country. Two of the regular corps of the Times reporters left General M'Clellan's head-quarters, which are now on the James River, on Monday afternoon, and reached this city last night. They were spectators to the events which they describe, and although their reports are of necessity written in haste, 'and may therefore err in matters of detail, there is no reason whatever to doubt the entire accuracy of the narrative they give of the principal movements of the cpposing forces. It seems from their statement that the right wing of our army, numbering about 20,0C3 men, was attacked on Friday by an overwhelming rebel force of 504'00, and that after a hot and protracted fight, sustained with pllantry by our troops, they effected their retreat across the Chickahominy. This leading fact was known before, but it now appears that they did not wait to destroy the bridges arras the swamp so effectually as to prevent the rebels' passage—that our forces on the left, for some ration or other, did not d i spute the passage, although they had planted batteries for the purpose of doing so, but decided to abandon their position, and that accordingly on Saturday and Sunday the whole left wing, comprising the main body of the army under Heintoelman, Keyes, and Sumner, fell back along the whole line of the railroad and the Williamsburg-road, turned the foot of the White Oak swamp, which approaches the Chickahominy, sod marched to James River, a distance of ten or fifteen miles. The rebels, after croming the Chickshominy in the immediate neighbourhood of what had been General M'Clellan's head-quarters, paused on resale& the railroad, and made no further pursuit. They remained, however, in possession of the ground held by our own troops on both sides of the Chickahominy, including the bridges and earthworks we had erected against their approach in front. Our whole army, therefore, now lies upon the James River, at a point called Turkey Bend, within reach and under cover of our gunboats. Supplies will quickly reach it from Fortress Monroe, and it seems to have withdrawn its stores in good order and without much loss. Beyond all question, this news will fall heavy upon the public heart. It is quite unexpected, and shatters the high hope which the whole country has of late iodr'ged, that with the fall of Richmond the end of the war was close at hand. A day's reflection will roue the whole country to the necessity of another effect to crush the rebellion. However we may regret the moss city for further sacrifices, there is no alternative. We have no election, even if we were base enough to desire one. We cannot yield to the rebels in erms without disgrace—without complete ruin to all our hopes of national renown, without the lois of everything that makes our country great, pros perous, sod free. The government will meet this crisis with an intrepid spirit and a determined purpose, and it must hornet by the same temper and with equal courage. The President, as if in anticipatioo of such a contingency, has already called for 300,000 additional volunteers. Every man of them ought to be enrolled within a fortnight. We shall have, we hope, no wrangling* in the press or elsewhere over the put, so criminatiou or hostile criticisms, no attempts to exaggerate defeat. The country needs the best service of all her sons. Let the only contest be for precedence in the race for her rescue ! EXTRAORDINARY COMIIIIMHON OF LUNACY.— IizADENG, Jou 15.—This morning an inquiry under a coin minion of lunacy was opened in the Crown Court, Reading. on the mental condition of Mr. Jason Smith, a gentleman of great wealth, fifty-eight years of age, residing in this town, whose conduct for some time past has been the subject of considerable excitement in the neighbourhood.

The unfortunate gentleman soon settled the question before the court to the satisfaction of most people. The inquiry was adjourned till to-morrow. THE WIRD= AT FOZDINGBUIDOZ.—A willow tree, which overhung the body of Mies Her murdered young lady of Fordingbridge, has been entirely stripped of its bark be visitors to the scene of the murder. The poor children of t ordingbridgeearn considerable sums of money in guiding visitors to the some. The two cows which from some muse or other became wild with excitement, while the struggle between the murderer and his victim must have been going on, have become objects of curiosity. Surprise has been expressed that in these days of high farm ing such • place as the dark gully should exist. It is an old waggon road overhung with trees and hushes and filled with mud and water, a fit lair only for disgusting vermin and reptiles. Yet it is ekes to • beautifully rural walk. If the gully had not existed the murder probably would not have been contemplated. Miss Hall was e a to be married to her cousin. Her father - somewhat recovered from his serious illness.

In the present instance it was stated that the primmer called on Mears. Hopkinson, end waned the teals for the hire of a pianoforte, which was accordingly delivered at the prisoner's residence at Lewis. ham on the Bth of last March, but as the prism& wu not in the way at the time, the usual memorandum was signed by his wife, after which it was discovered that the pianoforte bad ham sold by the prisoner to Mr. Crossley, of 'derogate. street, for MM., and by him to Mr. Outtena, an upholsterer, of High-street, Canadenitowo, for 211. The original valued the instrument wee 551., but it had been out on hire foe some time, which bad reduced its value to 451. Mr. Young said it was a most unfortunate affair for the prisoner, who,wu the son of Mr. Dobson, the anemia hop-merchant, of the Borough, who lately failed and died, lava/ his wife and children totally destitute. The pi loner being a cripple from his birth, and not having been brought up to any profession, was earning a precarious sub 'ateliers by teaching music. He was entitled to a snail re version by which he hoped to have replaced the pianoforte which he had parted with under • temporary pressure, bat certainly not with any dishonest intention. Alderman Challis said if that were the fact it was a sad case indeed, but at present the evidence was very aeon. plate, .and he must therefore remand the prisoner till Mow y Bail was fixed at two sureties of 231. each, and the pri. soner's own reeogaisaces of 501.

Tits EAITERN FISHERIES. —The mackerel fishery will moo close off the eastern coast, sad it is satialactory to find that it is, on the whole, likely to be remunerative. The deliveries made of late at Great Yarmouth have been large, and, as the fish have been landed in excellent condi , tioa, high prime have been realised, the last quotations being ' from 15.. to Zia per 100 for good over-day flab, and Re to 28e. per 100 for fish kept in ice until land wee made by the crews who took them. From Lowestoft the skims am mot so hopeful, the catches made having bees effected at a great distance from Lad. At Yarmouth. however. the results obtained have put the ,wean of heals in high spirits, and operation' will in Sitars be carried on with renewed vigour. The Midsummer herring fishery has been a failure all along the meat ; some fine fish have, boy' ever, been taken, and have realised 10e. tolls. 3d. per 100. Many of the boats have already " made up " without clear ing that expenses. The prosecution of this fishery at ell is deprecated by Many, as it is considered prejudicial to the retches, which would otherwise be made later in the year. MURDER AND 01:IMAGE lit IRELAND.
