Mr. Seward's recent communication to Mr. Adams are summarised thus : In June Mr. Seward writes that a list of pur chases made for the Confederates in England, which list had fallen into the hands of the Federals, shows that the complaints made to Earl Russell fall short of the real abuses of neutrality committed in England in the very face Of the British govern meat. "The revolution," says Mr. Seward, "is now approaohing its end, and it is just at this moment proof becomes irresistible, that if it had suc ceeded its success would have been duo to the assistance derived from the English people." Mr. Seward says the President thinks it desirable that the English government should consider before the war closes what ►re likely to be the sentiments of England and America towards each other after its termination.

Perm cosh.-7S, Bishopegate i In August, Mr. Seward writes that a war with England could not fail to unite North and South. In November, Mr. Seward writes that while European parties are more hostile than ever to America, America herself is stronger to resist in tervention than at any former period. Interven tion would only afford an additional motive for America to sustain her resolution to remain united. Lees than three years ago all England showed itself desirous of friendship with America, and a similar desire may before long recur. On the 3rd, same month, Mr. Seward states that the President is compelled to regard the destruc tion of ships by the Alabama as having been made by British subjects in violation of the law of nations. "It is presumed," says Mr. Seward, "you have already brought the subject before the British government in that light. Legal proofs to support indemnity claims will be collected and transmitted as soon as possible." A despatch from Mr. Seward to Mr. Dayton is also published, stating that America has a right to insist that France shall not make use of the war she is carrying on in Mexico to raise an anti-republican or anti-American government, or maintain such government in power. France having disclaimed such designs, America is bound to wait, and not anticipate their execution. A despatch from Mr. Clay, in Russia, to Mr. Seward, dated January last, urges him to offer to the Canadians union with America, and to send men and money into Ireland to stir up revolt.

INTZRNATIONAL EXHIBITION. —The beautiful silver grey granite obelisk, which stood in the nave, exe cuted and exhibited by Mr. William Sim, and which ob tained a pries medal, was sold by auction on Thursday last, in the Eshibition building, by Messrs. Green and Son, auctioneers, of St. Michael's-alley, Cornhill. It was bought by a gentleman to be sent out to Algoa Bay, for the poi , pow of being erected there as a memorial to a leading man recently deceased. The sale of the first portion of the extensive plant, &c., of the refreshment departments was concluded on Thorday. Upwards of 10,0004 has been realised by the first portion only. MINIM Green and Son will commence the second portion on January 12, 186:1. THE TURKISH EXHIBITION.—Tbe building for this enterprise has made visible prayer during the week, and bids fair to be ready to receive its contents by the time fixed. As this last approaches, however, it becomes increasingly doubtful if the contents will be forthcoming with similar punctuality for the building. If &deices from the provinces indeed are to be credited, the specimens of both raw and manufactured goods to be sent promise to be at least various and abundant enough for a structure of twice the sire, but the difficulties attending their collec tion, and especially their transport to the capital in the dead of winter, threaten to compel some cousiderable delay in the opening of the show. Mustapha Pasha and his colleagues is the direction of the enterprise are exerting themselves with an energy worthy of the Ken. sington Royal Commissioners, but circumstances are likely to prove too much for them, so far as punctuality in the inauguration of their undertaking is concerned. The ori ginal idea, besides having grown from a single spertment of so extracedinary dimensions into the relatively huge budd ies now in progres s . in the Hippodrome, is kw, we learn, to develop into an annexe" for machinery, to consist chiefly of egricoltural implemeuta from England, with motive steam power for the whole to be supplied by an engine from Zeitonn-bournou. The rates of admission have been fixed at 2p. fork: days of the week, and fip. for the seventh—Satur day. Though this seems a low rate of charge, it will proba bly be found high in effect. As no one, however, expects the undertaking to pay in a commercial IMO, this will matter but little.—Leeent Herold, Dee. 10. A JOKY BY 1)//.. GRAY.—Sir Rowland Hill writeo • to the elthentrion :—" In the last number of the At erterrese . von give an extract from ' A Hand Catalogue of Postage Stamps,' by Dr. Grey, of the British Museum, which nearly concerns me. I have procured the book its elf, and I find ' that the statements therein, though eat very clear, to animist substantially to this, via., that the ormosp= a o r f the scheme of penny postage, so far at lout as ita main fee tures of a email and uniform rate of postage to be prepaid by stamps are concerned, originated with Dr. Gray, and that owing I. hie being cseupied at the Museum whde, for maws, which he assigns, I had plenty of leisure, be coin manniested the plan to me, in order that I might bring it before the public. If this strange story is not intended for a joke, it amount' to one of the most extraordinary hallo- Obeli**. on record. But however this may be, most assuredly the statement has sot the slightest foundation i. fact" The Confederate General "Stonewall" Jackson has joined General Lee at Fredericksburg. It is rumoured that the Confederate cavalry under General Stuart is on the north side of the Rappahannock, moving between the Federal forces of Generals Burnside and Sigel. The Southern journals say that the Fedorals are crossing the Rappahannock at Port RoyaL The same journals think that an attack on Richmond will be made simultaneously by a Federal column from Fredericksburg and another from Suffolk, and by the fleet on the James River, but that the Confederates are prepared for such an attempt. The Confederates have again been repulsed in an attack upon Cave-hill, Arkansas. It is rumoured that the Federal expedition under General Banks has been landed at Petersburg, Virginia. The committee of ways and means has introduced a bill into Congress providing for an issue of 1,000,000,000 dollars, in bonds similar in amount and form to those authorised by the act of February, 1862, with the interest payable in United States lawful money, and the principal pay able in twenty years in gold or silver coin of the United States. Also the issue of legal tender notes, the amount not to exceed, with those already authorised, 500,000,000 dollars, in order to enable the Secre tary of the Treasury to call in all 5.20 and 7.30 Treasury bonds now in circulation, and to cancel them ; and authorising the Sectetary to redeem legal tender notes held as loans, and bearing interest. The committee has further proposed that the Jaw authorising the payment of interest on United States bonds in gold should be repealed. The bill saws at the virtual suppression of the banks, by imposing a tat of 50 per cent. upon all their circulation over one-half of the amount of their capital paid in. • The House of Representatives has passed a bill indemnifying President Lincoln for suspending the writ of habeas corpus. Large quantities of horses are being purchased in New York for shipment to the French army in A meeting has been held at the Produce Ex change for the relief of the distress in Lancashire.

The Montenegrin Senator Mirko has succeeded during his stay at Vienna in obtaining the good offices of Austria with Turkey, to effect a modifica tion of the recent treaty. The Porte has declared its readiness to abstain from arming the blockhouses, and from construct ing military roads through Montenegro. The Moniteur of yesterday announces that the usual state receptions will be held at the Tuileries on the lat of January. The Dobai.% of yesterday, in speaking of the Pre sideat's Massage, says that " the calm too, ►nd sustained dignity " of that document, especially el those passages which refer to foreign affairs, are worthy of special attea tion. It adds, " The mammas describes with equal force, good sense, sad truth the radically false position created from the first by slimy between the two great divisions of the Union, and it successfully establishes on the one heed that separation is all bat physically impartible, and on the other that it would in no way remedy the differences between North and South, of which it is the permaeent source." Tas Nrw ITALIAN LOAN.—A letter from Turin states that the finances of Italy are in such a satisfactory condition that the new loan will not be required, in all pro. Debility, for several months. 4t.Ar or ARMS.—A feat of arms (says the Comettartionttel ) has just been performed in Senegal which is worthy of mention. A detachment of 14 French Moines, under the command of a sergeant named Burg. who 111179 entrenched in the poet of lisolakh, kept in check for 14 hours, and finally repulsed, a body of 5,000 fanatics, under the orders of two desperate cbiefs, named ?dabs and Mscodou. When the enemy retired before such an heroic resistance, there were found lying round the past the bodies of 250 men and 70 horses. The remainder of the army had fled in disorder serous the Saloum. FATAL AOCIDENT ON BOARD HER MAJNSTY'S Sate Doam.—Au inquiry era, opmed at the Royal Naval Hospital, Stooehouse, au Thursday, to inquire into the cir cumstances nadir which Francis Nihon, a stoker, belootios to her Majesty's ship Doris, was so severely scalded ou board that vessel that he died a few berme after.
