THE Federals have gained another victory in the neighbourhood of Richmond ; and this victory it now becomes the duty of Southern sympathisers in this country to convert into a defeat. If the prophet SPINCE and his faithful pupil, the Times, could only be transferred to Richmond and Mobile, their eloquence might avail something to coup• teract the loud remonstrances which find a voice in almost every journal published in the Confede rate States. The people on the spot know the state of affairs. They can diatin- guish between succors and f ailure. The burden of their song is, not that JETTZILBON DAVIS and his colleagues are the saviours, but the destroyers of their country—not that the North is "reeling and staggering" under a succes sion of defeats, but that 31`CLELLAN and his army must before many days enter the gates of Rich mond in triumph. Even upon the walls of that capital, according to the Southern newspapers, the ominous words NT rietis are every night inscribed by some secret hand, at the moat imminent per sonal risk, and the police are accused of complicity because they fail to stop them. The circumstances which led to the serious en gagement which took place on the north-east of Richmond, and within a few miles of that city, are sufficiently obvious. It will be remembered that the Chickahominy sweeps round the north and east side of Richmond, and thence flowing east and _ . _ south falls into the mouth of the James River. Across the Chickahominy are two roads leading to the capital, by which an army coming from the east may advance. Of these the more northerly is the Rich mond and York River Railway—the more southerly is the turnpike road passing through a place called Bottom's Bridge on the Chickahominy. Now it was in the space enclosed between these two roads that the battles of Saturday and Sunday—the last day of May and the lit of June—took place. It must be observed that the Confederates occupy Richmond as an entrenched camp, and that in this, as in every similar case, the plan must be to select the weak point of the circle of the attack ing army and to crush some isolated portion of it before the rest can come to ita aid. The nearer the attacking army approaches the entrenched camp the more imminent becomes the danger, and the more caution is required in the General who commands the advancing army. Nor did General M'CLILLAN forget this. On the 25th of May— six days before he was attacked, and before crossing the Chicicahominy—he issued a general order in which he told his army that they must be prepared for battle at a moment's notice, and should be entirely unencumbered, with the exception of ambulances. He added that the men were to leave their knapsacks, and carry only their haversacks, with three days' provisions. " In the approaching battle," the order says, " the General Commanding trusts that the troops " will preserve the discipline which he has been so " anxious to infuse, and which they have so gene " rally observed." Let it not, therefore, be said that General MTLELLAN was taken by surprise, for he had foreseen the coming battle, and made such preparation as seemed most judicious to meet it. Between the 25th of May and Saturday, the 31st, part of the army had crossed the Chicks hominy, consisting, among other divisions, of that of General CASZY, numbering 6,000 men. This division seems to have been posted in the first line, between Seven Pines, on the turnpike road already mentioned, and Fair Oaks, about a mile and a half to the north-west, on the Richmond and York River Railway, to which we have re ferred. Under ordinary circumstances there would have been no difficulty in the troop. on the west, or right hank of the Chickahominy, communicating with those on the eastern or left bank. But in con sequence "of a terrible storm" the valley of the Chickahominy had become flooded, and the com munication across that river had become difficult. Taking advantage of this, about one o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday, the 31st, the Con-. federates attacked with overwhelming forces the division of General CASZY. That officer is said to have behaved with great gallantry, but his men— partly, it is said, from being raw troops—partly, it is said, from the scarcity of the officers, many of them being on the sick list—left the field, and that so suddenly that the division lost twelve bat teries of artillery and all its baggage. In the meantime, however, General Hitntrzrxxisx ordered up two divisions, and drove the enemy back at the point of the bayonet; whilst General Stumm, about three o'clock on the afternoon of Saturday, crossed the Chickahominy and took up a position on HEINTZISMAN's right. Night closed the struggle; but next day the ground lost waa regained, and the Confederates were compelled to retire within their entrenchments. The lop appears to be severe; the Federal' admit a loss of 3,000 men, and it is said that the Confederates left more than 1,200 dead upon the field. There can be little doubt that the Confederates intended to inflict acrinhing blow upon the Federal', and that they have failed in their object. The Federal accounts distinctly state that the Confede rates threw the mass of their troops upon this one point. In so doing they acted upon just principles, and in precise con formity with the principle which dictated the attack at Pittsburg and Chester Creek. Bat as the Confederates have not numeeded in the battles 01 Saturday and Sunday against part of the Federal army, it is scarcely probable that they will succeed in any future attack after M'CLEurs has concen trated his whole army. The question now is whether the Confederates will evacuate Richmond or await the result of another action. ThS svadt of those which have just taken place cannot be without their effect upon the Confederate troops. But at all events it is probable thatld'agr.w 4 will proceed with his habitual caution, and that, like FALT•SCK at Corinth, he will endeavour to compel the Confederates to withdraw from Richmond by threatening to cutoff their supplies, rather than by a direct assault upon their entrenchments. It does not appear that the obstructions in the James River have been cleared away so as to allow the gunboats to co-operate with an army moving along the bank. But the number of troops now at the disposal of General Iid`CLKL- Luf being so great, Richmond is liable to be attacked on whichever side may prove most con• venient. Intelligence such as we have been considering illustrates the soundness of the resolution to which her bla.tssrY's Government adheres with all the firmness of enlightened and profound conviction. While battles are fought with the stubbornness which we see there, mediation, unless in the form of armed and active intervention, is the vainest of dreams. All we can do at present is to stand still and wait. Intervention, urged upon us in the name of "humanity," would only still further evoke the military power of the American Union, and extend the war. Colonel Rasimt, in stating the intentions of the new Government in the Cana dian Parliament three weeks ago, expressed the judgment he had formed by personal observation of the military resources of the United States. He said " The army of that nation is but little " inferior in discipline to the best armies of " Europe ; it is superior in intelligence to any " army in the world ; it is as well armed and " equipped as the army of any European Power ; " and, in case of emergency, its numbers, " now exceeding half a million, could be " doubled." It is contrary to all experience that the Americans, conscious of this strength, should desist upon mere advice from a struggle which touches their national existence. They would be especially exasperated by any attempted intervention just now, when every newspaper throughout the South is filled with the language of tribulation and despair. Europeans cannot touch the evil without aggravating it. The case does not, therefore, admit of interference in the name of humanity, and in the name of interest it is for bidden just as sternly. We have all to lose and nothing to gain by interference.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales arrived In England at noon on Saturday, on his return from his tour in the Holy Land. The Prime left Paris on Friday, by the special tidal train of the Great Northern of France Railway • but on his arrival at Boulogne the weather was so tad that it was thought inadvisable to put to sea, and apartments were therefore taken for the night at the Hotel du Bain. The next morning (Saturday) his Royal Highness,with his suite, con. dating of Major•Geoeral the Hon. R. Bruce, Colonel the Hon. Sir C. B. Phipps, Lieut.-Colonel Koppel, Major Tees dale, the Rev. Canon A. Stanley, Dr. Minter, Dr. Arm strong, and the Hon. R. Meade, went on board the Vivid, Admiralty yacht, and steamed out of port for the English shores. The wind wee blowing stiffly from the south-weat, and the Vivid was in consequence two hours and • quarter in making Folkestone Harbour. Just as the Vivid entered the harbour, a smart shower of rain compelled the royal party hastily to quit the deck for shelter ; bat when the vessel had been securely moored, the Prince and his suite stepped once more on English soil, and proceeded to lksidant's Royal Pavilion Hotel, where luncheog was served in the state room. At 1.45 p.m. the royal party drove to the harbour station. A very great number of persons were present on the quay and at the platform, but the corporation of Folkestone did not present any address. His Royal Highness has none of the marks of travel on his countenance, but at his landing he was much paler than usual, though is excellent spirits. (I ROM TRZ COURT CIRCULAR).

The Yelverton marriage case turns up once more in the Scotch law report.. It appears that the " debate oa the case has been going on in the Court of Bastion at intervals for the last month, and that it had been brought to a dose on Friday. Mrs. Theresa Yelverton seeks to be declared the wife of Major Yelverton, while the major's object is to put the lady to "perpetual silence" as regards this claim, and to have her amerced in the sum of " 504 of damages for advancing it." The printed papers relating to the case fill • quarto volume of 618 pages, 112 of which an occupied with the correspondence which passed between the major and the lady during their courtship, and after the alleged Scotch and Irish marriages. It is stated that it is intended to apply to the states of the Duchy of Holstein at their next session for an appanage to the son of Prince Charles of Glucksburg. The Danish government will ground the application on the fact that Priem Christian is appointed heir to the Danish monarchy by the protocol of London, sod that the govern ment, as they affirm, have induced the rightful heir to the duchies, Duke Christian Augustus of Schleserig•Holatein- Sonderburg-Armustenburg, to surrender his estates and re nounce the SUOCIII4OI2 in consideration of the sum of 2,500,000 thalers. The friends of the duke, however, deny that any such renunciation has taken place. A letter from Rome, describing the illumination of St. Peter's, at the late canooisation ceremony, says : " And now it is time to light up the 15,000 candles, each weighing 41b., as lam told. The windows are closely curtained, though •my of light does now and then break in, for light will penetrate into the thickest darkness, and men tied on a small plank an let down from the roof to light the candles round the embittered ; and what a dizzy height it is They look like crows, or ' earophire gatherers' on the cliffs of Dover, no bigger than year bead, and they an drawn up and down several hundred feet above us.

Yet the effect is not brilliant ; so vast are the proportions of the church that it is in comparative darkness, ea if stars of the fourth magnitude were glittering faintly.

The lighting up was • decided mis take, and the leas said about it the better. In the resealed near the transepts were fire-engines and Poenpieri, for con , adorable apprehensioos of danger were entertained, and great precautions were taken, but nothing unpleasant hap pened except showers of wax, which bespattered many a uniform, and the occasional flaring up of • candle, which one of the sunphire boys, to our horror, was always let down to extinguish." The fruit and grain crops in the western states of America promise to be moat abundant. In Illinois the sugar cane is to be cultivated. and in the southern and cen tral part of the state the cotton pleat will be introduced. The Illinois Central Railway Company are rendering every assistance to these agricnitnral experiments. No complaint is made of the scarcity of labour. An Illinois paper says that that state could now raise an army of 10,000 men, and find beef and breadstuffs enough to feed half the Union. One county is Missouri has this year raised 4,000,0001b1. of tobacco. The sugar crop in Cuba has been a pretty fair Gee. There are warehoused in Havana and Matanzas 452,000 boxes. Lut year there were only 316,000 housed. Handsome profits have been made out of cotton at Hams. On the 17th ult., 400 bales were takes out of bond for Liverpool, sad 100 for Havre. Havens is now an import sat cotton port. According to the latest advice' several shin were loading at Havana for New Orteens. All kinds of goods likely to suit that market are befog shipped, with a view of investing the proceeds in cotton. ,EVENI4O, ,JUNE • -417; 17;i-ENCE-71"-- 'CATE:Mt.. IN ROME. ... •I • i 4 , • nal IMPRESS FROM PARIS. THE MEXIOAN EXPEDITION. (nom on OWN 0011118POADINT. ) THE PAPAL ALLOCUTION AND THE ADDRESS OF THE BISHOPS. We have received copies of the allocution de livered by the Pope to the general meeting of cardinals and bishops held a few days ago iu Rome, and of the address of the latter in reply. These documents are of extreme length, occupying more than a page of the official Roman journaL Having expressed his joy at the meeting of the bishops, the Pope proceeds to dwell upon the error of those who assert that the church is a society susceptible of improvement, and not divine in all its parts, and bitterly condemns those who think that the civil authority can interfere in any way with spiritual things, with the relations of bishops and of the Sovereign Pontiff; dm. An anathema is pronounced upon modern heresies of all shades, and especially upon some of the German theories respecting the gospels. The supposed opponents of the papacy are spoken of as " the wicked," as " fabricators of fraud," as " liars," as " impious libertines," as " dreadful criminals," as working with " Satanic" art, spreading deadly poison, and exhibiting "odious hypocrisy." The dogmatic pert of the allocution is a curious nalange, in which the distinctive theories of the ultra-German rationallats, such as Strauss and others, are mixed up with the "Essays and Reviews," the opinions of the late Mr. Buckle, the views of evangelical tircdintiusta, the generally received principles of civil and religious liberty, and of the relations of the church to the state. All these are spoken of as heresies equally bad in themselves and injurious to mankind. The alleged persecutions of the church in Italy, and the absence of the Italian and Portuguese bishops are then referred to, and the temporal sovereignty of the Holy See is again declared to be of divine origin and design. The allocution concludes with an appeal to the consiatory, who are termed the salt of the earth, to enter on an aggressive warfare, both orally and by the pen, against the opinions above condemned. They are exhorted "to remove the faithful from the contagion of this plague ; to turn their eyes and their hands from the pernicious books and jour nals ; to instruct them in the holy precepts of our august religion; to exhort and warn them to fly from these doctors of iniquity as from a ser pent." In order to obtain more easily their desire the bishops are told " to take for mediatrix with God the Virgin Mary, who, full of pity and love for all men, has always annihilated heresies, and whose patronage with God has never been more opportune. Pray also for the suffrages of St. Joseph, the spouse of the very holy Virgin, of the Apostles Peter and Paul ; and of all the inhabi tants of heaven, especially those whom we honour and venerate as inscribed in the records of sanctity." At the close of this allocution Cardinal Mattel, accompanied by several members of the episcopacy, approached the papal throne and read to the Pope the reply of the bishops. The prelates compare their meeting to the day of Pentecost, and appea r to claim the divine impulse which was felt on that day by the apostles. They are assembled, they say, round the successor of Peter to bear his words, to listen to his decrees, and to fortify his doctrine. " When you speak, it is Peter that we hear ; when you decree, it is Jesus Christ that we obey." On the temporal sovereignty they are as emphatic as the Pope : We affirm that the temporal sovereignty of the Holy See is &necessity, and that it has been established by the mani. fast design of Divine Providence. We do not hesitate to declare that, in the present state of human affairs, this temporal sovereignty is absolutely requisite for the good of the church and for the free government of souls. It is assuredly necessary that the Roman Pontiff, chief of all the church, should be neither the subject nor even the guest of any prince, but that, seated upon a throne and master in his own domain and his own kingdom, be should recognise no law but his own, and in a noble, peaceful, and gentle liberty should protect the catholic faith, defend it, and rule and govern the whole Christian Republic. Who can deny that in the conflict of affairs, of opinions, of human institutions, there should be is the centre of Europe a sacred spot placed between the three continents of the old world; an august see, whence should rise, from time to time, for peoples and prince', a great and powerful voice, the voice or power and of liberty, impartial and without preference. which can neither be silenced by terror nor circumvented by artifices ! The bishops then ask how such a meeting as theirs could have been possible if any other sove reignty existed that day in Rome but the pontifical one,hithertomaintaiuedby a sortof miracle. Quoting a declaration of the Pope, that he would rather aeon floe life than abandon the temporal power, they reply, "We are ready to go with you to prison and to death; we humbly implore you to remain unshaken in this firm design and in this constancy, presenting to angels and men the spectacle of au invincible soul and a courageous sovereign." This, they say, is the prayer of all the church, and of the Christian faithful in every part of the globe. They then express their full assent to the ecclesiastical censures which have been passed upon the invaders of the papal states. They are not, however, sur prised that the rights of the Holy See should be so obstinately attacked, seeing that the very founder tions of the Christian faith are now called into doubt. The bishops here diverge into an attack on " a false erudition and a vain science." Much sympathy is expressed for the prelates and mem ber of religious orders who are affected by the legislation and political events of the last few years in Italy ; while a denunciation is hurled, in passing, at " the ecclesiastics who miserably turn away from religion and walk in the i►ay of perdi tion." Among a number of invocations to the Deity with which the address concludes is the fol lowing :—" May it please God that the kings and the rulers of the age may understand that the cause of the Pontiff is the cause of all princes and all states ; may it please Him that they may see whither the criminal efforts of his adversaries tend, and that they may at last take decisive resolutions. May it please God that the few unhappy wield entice and religieux who, forgetting their calling, refusing the obedience due to superiors, and daringly usurping the authority of the church, hurry to their ruin, may return and repent."

These gentry are let off easily, and it is hoped that they will profit by the mild warning.

The government, when the Bourse opens to morrow, will probably find reason to regret the enormous lying of its semi-official press on the subject of Mexico. For the last three or four days I have had no other task than to point out the contradictions and improbabilities of the Pays and Patrie's denials that General de Lo rencez's invading force had received a check. These journals persisted that all rumours to that effect were " English inventions." Only last night the Patric declared that the "Mexican army, greatly superior in numbers, had been completely beaten," and that the French were about to enter Puebla "the next day." But while the Patrie was publishing this last of its long series of reck less misstatementa,!the compositors of the Moniteur were setting up the paragraph which the tele graph will have brought you, and which proclaims to France in the gentlest and most plausible terms that could be devised, after many hours' consideration, the unpalateable fact that General de Lorencez, after having attempted with his whole force to storm the fortifications which protected the city of Puebla, was repulsed, and compelled to retreat to his camp at Amazon I see by the map that Amozoc is a place separated from Puebla by a chain of mountains. This defeat, coupled. with the fact, admitted on all bands, that General de Lorencez's communications with Vera Cruz are cut off, shows that the small force under his command, severely tried as it has long been by • pestiferous climate, must be in a most perilous condition. You will have seen in the Moniker the official aooount of the repulse of the French forces sent to President Juarez by the Mexican General Zaragoza. His despatch is a remarkable military composition, quite free from bombast, and bears the stamp of truth upon the face of it. He was left master of the field of battle, and his troops buried the French dead. He estimates the French loss at 1,000, at the same time saying he cannot be certain as to the figures. In all probability that number will turn out to be a considerable exaggeration ; but I regard as much less authentic the foot-note in the Moni ker, suggesting, on the faith of "a letter from Puebla of the 10th," that the losses of the French army were only 142 hors de combat, while the Mexicans lost 140 killed and 240 wounded. The precision of these figures renders them very aus picious. Who could have sent such exact inform ation from Puebla, when it is admitted that no despatches from General de Lorene since the date of the battle have arrived 1 The French press is naturally very chary of ob servations on the disaster which has befallen the ill-advised expedition. Not only the fear of warn hags, but the genuine, the laudable desire to sup port the brave soldiers sent in insufficient force on I false pretences, to wage war amidst hostile popula tions in a terrible country, makes the journals asost hostile to the war in principle sparing of their criticisms on this melancholy occasion. The Opinion Nationale says : We disapproved el this expedition from the beginning ; bat new that the draggle is begua the government cannot draw back. General de Lorencez's forces are very mart. licient ; their communications with the port of debarkation are cut off, sod we cannot but approve of the energetic measures announced by the Amritsar. Now that we are engaged in the heart of Mexico, we must try to hasten • solution, so that we may withdraw honourably as sem as possible. M. Nefftzer writes in the Temps : We must give the Monet= credit for having, in the ale- Dance of General de Loreacees report, published that of the Mexican general, which, by the way, is very acidly drawn up, and bean the stamp of probability in almost every point. The news from Mexico will now occupy the first place in public anxiety, and we cannot but applaud the government for having taken into account the legiti mate impatience of the public for information. There can be but one voice to approve the sending oat of reinforce ments. Whatever may be thought of the interventioa in principle, the present position of our expeditionary corps overrules every other ossaderation. That is evident, and need not be demonstrated. Now, having said thus much, let us add that what strikes us most in the Moniteur's note is that General de Lo reams hoped that his march on Puebla would lead to a movement on the part of the population, and that this hope was disappointed. The conclusion is that we were incorrectly informed as to the popular sentiment in this part of Mexico, and that Juarez' government had more par. deans than were supposed. The question, therefore, now changes its character, for our intervention was mainly based upon the hypothesis that Juarez was unpopular. The con clusion is obvious: now that we know that Gen. Alms= was mistaken, and that the Mexican government is a real and popular government, there is no reason why we should overthrow it. This reasoning has, naturally, nothing to do with the question of reinforcements. Even for the purpose of negotiation it is essential that we should be Um:strongest.

Leon Valery prayed that the old "turning boxes," in which women who wanted to get rid of newly-born children might deposit them for nurture in an hos pital, without making themselves known, may be restored. The peculiarity of the petition consisted in this, that it was in verse ; in fact, nothing more than an adaptation of an ode which lately obtained a prize at Toulouse. It appears to have been sug gested that poetry, being the language of the gods, might be appropriately spoken to the Senate, and M. Gonlhot a Saint Germain, the reporter, solemnly declared the opinion of his committee, that the poetical form, though unprecedented, was not necessarily objectionable. The melancholy fact is, that since the suppression of the turning boxes at the doors of the foundling hospitals—those tours which a few years ago were generally accepted as incentives to vice--the crime of infanticide has increased in frightful proportions, while the number of illegitimate births has not diminished. The Senate voted unanimously that this tion should be referred for consideration to the Minister of Justice and the Minister of the Interior. An individual named Nicholas Stephens Cons nenus, alleging himself to have been " born in the purple," has presented a petition setting forth that he is the legitimate heir to the throne of Constan tinople, from which his ancestor, the last of the Roman Emperors, was wrongfully expelled by the Ottomans, and praying that no Russian or other power may be allowed to exercise privileges which tend to prejudice his undoubted rights. The Senate shelved this petition by passing to the order of the day. The Bourse has undergone no material variation. Route rose 6c. for moth, and left off at yesterday's prim for amount, the LA quotations being 68.55 and 68.66. idobilier rose 61. A rise of 7.50 in the Southern Railway, and a fall of 151. in Orleans, were the only important changes in railway shares. The market was somewhat• more active than is usual on a Saturday. Incendiary fires are lamentably frequent in the French colony of In Martinique. A lamp manufac tory and nine houses were lately burnt in a single night. One of the incendiaries, named Jean Bap ' tiste, committed suicide. The governor, in the hope of checking these terrible crimes, has declared • that is future all incendiaries, or accomplices of . incendiaries, who may be sentenced to hard labour, , shall be sent to Toulon to undergo their punish ment.
