Our advice. from New York are to the 4th inst Bulletins issued by the War Department at Washington report that Grant's communication with White House is complete. On the 30th ult. the Confederates attempted to resist the Federal advance on the Mechanicsville Road, but were repahied with serious loin. The New York Herald correspondent says of the battle : At 5 p.m. the peaty assaulted oar line ; it was a tad sodden attack ; they advanced in two lines of a heavy skirmish line. Simultaneously with their opening volley of musketry came solid shot and shell from the angry mouths of a score or more of manta. Firm and on shaken stood our men. the rebels shot too high ; our men coolly waited to return the fire, it was a roost murder ous volley, and the assaulting column was staggered end fell back. Several batteries of artillery which had been in politica opened responsive to the enemy's canucia. Assault after assault was made by the desperate foe, but each time our troops burled him back. Upon General Crawford's division the assaults were made more repeatedly and more fierce. The enemy sought to turn his left, but each time wee handsomely repulsed, and more than special glory was woo by the men meeting sad repelling these earaulte. The Pennsylvania reserves behaved magnitiosatly. in the divi sion, and holding the extreme left, was General Lockwood ; his troops, most of them for the first time wider fi re, behaved like veterans. Colonel Hitching's brigade of heave artillery were but novices, but stood their grouiscl with great resolution. His brigade aloes . cap tured eighty prisoners. The contest closed with our having driven the enemy as stated above, and recopying the battle ground. Our loss is 200 tilled wounded, and missing. The enemy's lass was much heavier, probably 1,500. We took 200 prisoners, among them 10 oariunia signed odricers. Among their dead are said to have been a rebel general end two colonels. Prisoners all say the whole of - Ewell's curve was engaged against us ; the corps, they say, however, is commanded by General Early, and General Ewell is in command of the army, General Lee being sick at itiehrnoad. A rumour has prevailed that General Lee was wounded in the leg at Spottaylvania Court,- house, but it is not authentioated • there an be no doubt, however, of the fact that he does ; not command the Confe derate army at preemie. Gemmel Les's army is now in the entreochniente at Meadow's Bridge and Bottom Bridge. Advice" from Bermuda Hundred, of the Ist, ay: At seven yesterday morning the enemy attacked General Bothr's left wing, Lod a spirited fight with musketry was kept up till 9 o'clook, when the rebels were again repulsed. 30 rebel soldiers came ioto our lines yesterday morning and surrendered. The eoemy's lows has not bees weer- Seined. Our loos was very slight. It is reported that Fitaltugh Lee and UV of his men. maniL cavalry, were captured last night, while attempting to make a raid in the direction of the Whitehouse. Gene ral Smith's force made the capture. Information from deserters and prisoners shows that everything that can be spared has been sent to Lee. About 15,0U0 troops are located at Petersburg in our front, and the defences around Richmond on the south side. The 11'cw Turk Tribune of the 3rd says : After hi. return, Butler worked his men night and day on the defences, until, in the °piston of his engineers, his position was sufficiently strong to be held by a reduced force, meaning to create a mobile column of 20,000 men far offensive operatioes against Petersburg. At the time the latter arrangement was completed, orders were received from Washington to send every available man, leaving suf ficient to hold the line to White•house under General Smith to establish a new base of sapplies. General Butler, although he bad his pontoon laid across the Appocnatoz, and the troops were to march that night upon Petersburg, at once decided to hold the line with the lame and halt, and send forward all that could possibly be spared to aid General Grant. He has dews everything in his power to harass the enemy and employ the troops in front of him. He has also seat more reinforcements to General Grant than Beauregard has to Lee, and has put at least 10,000 of the enemy !tors de combat. The followin* official despatches had been pub lished by the NN ar Department : _ _ Waakingtom, June 2, 9.30 p.m. A despatch from General (slant, dated this morning at Bethesda Church. at 7 o'clock, has just been received.

The enemy made repeated assaults co each of the corps Dot engaged in the main assault, but were repulsed with loss in every instance. Several buodred premiers were taken, but I esnoot say what number, nor estimate either oar or the enemy's casualties. During the sight the enemy made several as to regain what they had lost, but failed. 2~odenpatchea from any other quarter have reached thin department to-day. E. L. STAbTON. Washington.

Wilson hada fight last night sear Hanover Court House, with Young's brigade of cavalry. He routed Young, killing and capturing many ; but there has been a great deal of artillery firing in that direction this morning. General Warren reported last night that in the fight of liciedev afternoon sear Betteadys Church, Col. Tyrrell, of tbe 13th Virginia, and Colonel Willsye, commanding Program', brigade, were killed. Colonel Christian, of the 49th Pennsylvania, was wounded and captured ; so was the adjutant-general of Pomeroy's brigade. Ten other com missioned onions were captured, and 70 privates.

The following has been published as the declara tion made by the Plenipotentiary of the Germanic Confederation at the sitting of the conference on the 9th inst. : I atetained from participating in the discussion which took place in the last sitting but one upon the froatier question, not finding myself authorind to pronounce for any particular lies. The instructions which I have since received from the Diet subsequently to rendering an ac count of the sitting of the 28th May, approve the declass- Boos made by me on that occasion in concert with the plenipotentiaries of Austria sad Prussia, and it is by them, consequently, that I mast be guided. These declarations are noted in the protocol. Count Beesetarff, spooking in the name of the German pleni potentiaries, allowed it to be understood that there was a dispaition to cede a part of the northern territory of Slop wig and to consider the abandonment of the Duchy of lossabarg as an equivalent. He mid at the mon time that the line of demarcation proposed by the government of her Britannic Majesty . could not NM the object of a solid and durable peace, once the priadpal subject of com plaint and agitation with the greater part of the popula tions of Steswig would net only continue to exist, but would even be infinitely aggravated by their separation from the rest of the duchies and their incorporation with the kingdom of Denmark. In my opinion the terms of this =affectation clearly in dicate that it is not Intended to consent to the abandon ment of any part of the Sleswig territory, where the majority of the population should refuse to accept it. I am happy to state that the Confederatioo, is placing itself at this point of view. ie able to take advantage of the manner in which it has pleased the neutral power to regard the question. The plcroipotentiariee of Great Britain un derstand that the future destiny of the Duchy of Holstein, the Duchy of Limburg, and the southern portion of Slams, should not be determined without their comet. The plesipoteetiary of France has declared for the waist/moos of the point of view of his govern meat, according to which no new state of things could be establishedy withoutns the lb. sod tenitories detached w hom ntht : mona , the po- pulatioos when legally consulted- The plenipotentiary of Sweden has also stated that his government understands that the future destiny of the provisoes which might be ceded by the King of Denmark should not be regulated without their consent. It appears to me impossible to admit that the 'antral powers wish to establish a principle with the intention of enchain its logical and impartial application. It is im possible for me to attribute to them the idea that it is nesessary to 000sult populatious which ought to bolos( to Germany, in order to saoertsio w both*: this future suits them. but that this precaution is noels.. with those which are to remain foreign to it. It's finally impossible for me not to call to mind that I consider Skeels 's haviog ceased to form part of the Danish monarchy, sad that following this order of ideas the question is of detaching a portion of Sleswig, not from the monarchy, but to the profit of the monarchy, with the °assent of its ecwartign, who will not mime to take into meows' the wish of the populations.

The inspection of the 21st Middlesex (Civil Service) Ride& which, in consequence of the preence of its honorary colonel, the Prince of Wales, will be reedited as the anneal (Alicia inspection of this excelle•tlydrilled corps, took place lest evening in the quadrangle of Somerset Haase, before • large and distuiguisbed assemblage. Every preparation to do honour to the auspicious event wes made- The quadrangle was tastefully hung with a varied series of Admiralty signals, interspersed with union jacks and stan dards ; on either side were ranged temporary seats for the accommodation of visitors admitted by tickets, while on the west side of the square a raised dais, deco rated with Minting and covered with • deli cately white awning, over which dusted the Prince of Wake' standard, was erected for the reception of the Prince and Princes. Soon alter 3 o'clock a body of the A Division. under the direction of Superintendent Durkin, assisted by Inspector Denning, were stationed at the entrance gates and in the enclosure. Half•past 5 was the appointed time for the arrival of his royal highness, bug lowa I before that hour every seat was occupied, the fair sea being the moat numerous. At 4 o'clock the various companies assembled in the quadmagle, to the number of 400 rank and file. The men having been put through ► preliminary drill by Major Mill, assisted by Captain and Adjutant Lombard, Lieutenant-Colonel Viscount Bory, M.P., took command, and reheaned the min is the movements through which they subsequently pissed before his royal highness, leaving them formed in wings in readiness to give the royal saline, Se. During the inter►al that elapsed between this and the snivel of the Prince and Princes', Viscountess Bury, accompanied by the Countess of Albemarle, Lady Suffield, Mrs. Loyd Lindsay, Lady William Compton, Miss Coombe, and Lady Augusta Koppel, took their seats on the dais behind the chairs of state. There ;were aleofpreseat, amongst other distinguished personages, the Earl of Albe marle, Lord Suffield, Lieutenant-Colonel Loyd Lindsay, ire. A little before ti o'clock distant cheers announced the approach of the Prince and Princes, and immediately after wards the royal :carriage drove through the lints of volun teers, to the dais. Upon! alighting their royal highaesee,s were received with a royal salute, the men presenting arms and the band striking up the drat hare of the National Anthem. The Princess was received by Lady Bury, and ushered to her seat, while the Prise, upon ascending the chip, graciously acknowledged the general greeting Resided him by all preset. The Pinta, who wore the undress uniform of a general ofßcer. was attended by Genera Kaolin and Colonel Keppel. The Princess was attired in mourning, and attended by Lady Carmarthen. The Prince, accompanied by Lord Bury and followed by General Knolkis and Colonel Keeps!, walked down the lines, and inspected the men ; he then returned and took up his position on the dais, and the menu:urns, directed by Lord Bury, were commenced. At their conclusion, the Prince stepped into the centre end said, " Gentlemen, I Deed hardly tell you the great pleasure I feel at being present at this inspection, and the satisfaction I have experienced in witnessing your niameuvres. Coder the able tuition of Colonel Lord Bary, you have bad great opportunities of becoming efficient in your drill. It occurs to me. from the great steadiness Sou hays acquired, that you most have paid great attention to drill. I had this square funned so that I might present you with my challenge cup, and I have gnat pleasure in doing so." The Prince then handed the challenge cup to Lord Bury. and a cup to the winner, Mr. Burroughs, of the Whitehall Company. Three cheers were then given for the Prince, three for Denmark, and the Prince and Princess drove away amidst the cheers of all preseat.

THE SCANDINAVIAN GALLIUM The exhibition of pictures chiefly by Denials artiste, which has now been established for more than a year in a very commodious and well-lighted gallery in the Haymarket, and which we h►ve noticed on former coca 'leas, is now shown for the benefit of the widows and orphans of Danish soldiers who have fallen in the present war with Prussia and Austria. It is particularly gratifying to find that very important additions to the sabibi• Lion have reeentlr beau made in the works of some French painters of eminence, and still more recently in a l►rge and very interesting picture by an English artist of the French school, Mr. W. Strad, the subject of which is ' a bush fire in Australia. Apart from the charitable par• pass, this is an exhibition that well theatres a visit. SALE OF ITALIAN AND SPANISH PICTURES.

The collection is rather a miscellaneous one, so would be expected from the variety of tastes concerned in the selestios ; bat there are several eteeediaily interestiag mid valuable pictures. MUSIC. THE MUSICAL SOCIETY OF LONDON. This society gave their fourth orchestral concert —the last of the series of this season—at St. James's.hall lent night. It presented one novelty of considerable iota rat—a manonoript symphony by Mr. John Fraacis Barnett, which was performed for the first time, and received with much Lapeer. It is a work of merit, which did honour to Mr. Emmett's talents, and the society acted rightly in bringing it forward, because in 'doing so they were fulfilling one of the chief object. for which the society was professedly founded, the encouragement of young and native talent. THE MUSICAL UNION. Tuesday's =tin& of this aristocratic society, under the &notion of Mr. Ella, was of extraordinary interest, not only from the quality of the ramie, but from the amount of talent employed is its performance. The following was the programme of the concert : Trio. B fist. Op. 97. Pianoforte, Violin, and lolonoelle Quartet. in G. No.l Mozart. Perviachee Lied Rubinaleln. Saabert.. a oculist, Mme. lasehetlika, accompanied by Herr Jed!. Solo, Violin. Legend*, 0 minor, and Polonaise, D Ilator Sonata. in O. Op M. !Co. I. Pianoforte and Violin PIAINOVORTII_ The Pile"la . @ Chorus, Rom Wageees Tannheaser Jaell. Beethoven's Trio in B fiat was performed by M. Jae ll' M. W ieniewski, and M. Davidoff. Wieaiawaki has long been known to the London public ; but it is only this season that they have been fully acquainted with the talents of M. Jaell as one of the greatest pianists, and of M. Davidoff as one of the greatest violocosUiste in Europe. The powers of all the three were called into action in this trig which is undoubtedly the moat remarkable work of its class tbst ever was written. Its place in the catalogue of Beethoven's works shows that it belongs to what is called his " third period," when hie genius, according to some critics, had reached its fullest developmeet, or. according to others, had peened that stage and fallen into those eccentricities which went on increasing down to the time of his death. Whatever opinions may be held as to the general character of Beethoven's latest compoeiticea, there is but one opinion respecting this particular work. It, at all *Teets, must have bees the fruit of some of his happiest hours, when he was free from those morbid influ ences which clouded his mind and affected the style sad character of his music. No °miner tion of three instruments has ever equalled the power of this trio. It has all the power and variety of a great symphony—now breathing the sweetest Orals, of melody, now enriching the ear with ravishing harmonies, and now omelettes the thunders of a full orchestra. It is often wild and startling, bat never obscure or capricious. Its large in proportions, clear in design, and adapted in every phrase to the powers of the different instruments. The grave dignity with which the first movement opens at once commands attention. which is kept up by a succession of bright and hum id ul ideas till the Let her of the piece. Pro bably it was never better performed than on this occasion ; at least we have never been more strongly impressed with • sense of its wonderful grandeur and beauty; and the cultivated end intelligent seemed, from the warmth of their applause, to have received a similar impression. Mozart's Quartet in G, the first of those six exquisite gems of art which the young composer offered as &tribute of veneratka to Joseph Haydn—in the per formance of which Messrs. Wieniewski and Davidoff were joined by Mr. Ries sad Mr. Webb—was a perfect specimen of quartet•playing and a delicious treat to the audience; and Beethoven'■ Sonata for the piano and violin— one of his early and moat planing productions, wall known to our amateurs—was not less interesting and delightful. Madame Lanchelizka, who sang the vocal pieces named in the programme, is a Polish lady lately arrived in Loadon—a very accomplished awl pleasing performer. CRYSTAL PALACE. The "Metropolitan Schouls Festival" took place at the Crystal Palace yesterday. Some five thousand chil dren beloeging to schools in and adjoining to London, who receive instructions in singing from Mr. O. W. Martin, or according to his method of teaching, were assembled in the great Handel Orchestra, and sang, under his dire:hies, a number of psalms, hymns, chaunts, and other sacred and secular choral pieces of a simple and easy kind. This assemblage of clean, healthy-looking, happy children, enjoying the delights of a summer's holiday, was highly agreeable and interesting; end their siegieg, simple and artless ea it was, was pleseant to hear. Such music as this is oo subject for criticism ; the only thing worthy of notice that struck us was the great disproportion between the number of voices and the quantity of pound produced. We should have ex pected twice the amount of strength and volume. We could not help infamies from this that a great number of the children did not sing at all, but only contributed to 611 the vast area in which they were sesembled. The number of visitors was much smaller than what we have seen on similar occasions, owing, we suppose, to the unsettled state of the weather. Signor Anliti luta announced a concert, to take place to-morrow morning, at Her Majesty's Theatre — an entertainment singularly rich in attractive mat- ter. The programme Melodies selections from Raesiors Statist Mater, from Gounod's Prow, from Meyerbeer's Robert fr Diable, from Mozart's Don nioranni, and from Nicolai's "'datal in the perform ance of which the whole strength of the company will be employed. Moreover, Madame Arabella Goddard will play Mendeliwohn'sCooeerto in G minor ; • Fantasia for the piano and violin, composed by Arditi and Benedict, will be played by Madame Goddard and Mr. Corroders ; and mural now vocal compositions of Signor Arditi wdl be sung, in cluding the national song, " La Garibeldins," composed for the reception of General Garibaldi at the Crystal Palace.

Last evening the anniversary festival in aid of the funds of this institution wee celebrated at the Free mamma' Tay Great Queen-street, Lincoln's•inn-nekis, mailer the ' eecy of the Duke of ARGYL, who was sup ported by the Duke of Bowlona, Sir John Hero° Max well, Bart..

Macrae, Bev. Dr. Macbeth, Mr. D. Mackenzie, hrs. It should be stated that this asylum ham for its object the support and education of the children of soldiers, sailors, and marines, natives of Scotland. who have died or have been disabled in the service of their country; and also the children of indigent Scotch parents resident in London not receiving parochial relief. These particulars were brought prominently forward by the Chairman in pro posing " Prosperity to the Royal Caledonian asylum." His puce enlarged upon the many bearing accruing from the utstitutiou, and observed that, although it appealed more especially to Scotchmeo it was dowering at tram patronage of all classes in this country, inasmuch as it afforded a means of dealiag with poverty to an extent which could not otherwise be reached. This charity ou4i to appeal to the sympathy of those Scotehman who, ka proceeded in early life from their own coun t r y arm with the advantages of parochial Wacation, and baring pined a comfortable position in the colonies, might justly oe called epee to sestet in promoting the support of the children of Scottish parents, esparc.liy such as had joined the military and naval services. In contributing to the maintenance of this institution they were rendering assistance in a manner that was most gratifying to the feelings of Scotcbmeo, because It did not interfere with their spirit of independence. He was happy to be enabled to say that at the last examination of the children which had just taken place, they had proved themselves well versed in geography, biblical knowledge, and other branches of Isanuag. la regard to the funds of the asylum, he would Mauve that he had always been told that those funds depended racy much on the success of these annual dinners and halls. Doubtless such events as these were great indacemoste to people to take an interest in charitable institutions, but at the same time he coofrued that this state of things was Sot entirely to his satisfaction. Thiene ors of such • charity ought eat to depeed upon the casual getting. at as entertainment like the present. The friends and promoters of the imititution ought rather to rely upon • certain fixed income wising out of a large number of usual subsoriptiona, individually small, but sufficient to testify to the popular and Practica interest felt in the welfare of the asylum. ficotchmen were renowned Inc their military ardour, and no muter boon could be bestowed upon them, when called upon to discharge their duties, than the assurance that a good education was being provided for their children. He cordially recom mended the iestitutioe to the encouragement and support of all who appreciated the Weenie's. of this national boon, and observed that if every successful ficotehman in London would contribute If. per swum, the directors of the asylum would no longer be reduced to the necessity of disposing of their tickets for dinners and balls.

THREATENED OCTIIREAK AT DARTMOOR PRISON. —Os Monday morning last, when the body of orievict• at Dertmoor were marched out of their Prism to their labour on the Moor, it became &pained that a mutineers oombinatio. had been formed amongst them, and that • serious outbreak bad been planned.

Fur some months past the governors of convict prisons have had order. to adept the reduced wale of diet, which was approved by the commis nem of doctors under the authority of the Secretary of State. Up to Solidity last these orders had act been adopted in Detainee, Prison, and the old scale provided by the let. Sir Joshes Jobb was adhered to. On that moro nic however, it was announced to the convicts that the change was to be made.

CRYSTAL PALACE COMPA2. - T.—The report of the directors to the geoeral meeting on the ?Jail Inst. iaforms the proprietors that the prospects of the company for the current seesoo, as far es say asticepatioe can yet be formed of them, are encouraging. The sale of the guinea season tickets is satisfactory, and tends to confirm the directors in their belief that the present pries and mode of honing these tickets is acceptable to the public, and beeelicial to the company. The number of visitors during the winter months, from the Ist November last to the present time, exceeds that for the corm/pending period of any previous year ; and this igczesse has hese progressive woos the °peeing of the Palace in 1854.
